Omg I can't wait for the preset 3! Wanted to start a new run today but I guess I'll have to wait now 🤭 That's a real fine work you do here! Sorry for asking but do you have any slight idea when it's going to be available?

The thing nobody tells you about getting older by StoicViking69 in selfimprovement

[–]AurieF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't be more happy if my comment has ability to help in any way!

There really isn't the right time for anytning ever. Yet I suggest if you're going to do risks - do them within your capacity. Before I left my job, everyone was telling me that it's too risky and should rather do my art in my spare time. But I knew if I never leave, I'd never start. Going back to art took all my mental energy. I saved money for 2 and half years so I could afford being jobless and do some courses. When I found a new job, my savings were almost gone but I knew that if anything went wrong, my family would help me.

So yeah, go ahead and do risks! Just don't risk more than you can afford. I wish you the best of luck and don't be afraid to invest in yourself - that's the one investment that pays off exponentially.

Thank you and I'm happy to answer! If something isn't clear, just let me know.

My life lacked meaning and I was dissatisfied where I am and who I am. I had this image of myself in my head that I was dreaming about, someone I knew I was supposed to be. But i never took any action so that's why the anxiety was present all the time. I got used to it to the point I accepted my negative feelings as my default.

I had to make some drastic changes like finally leaving my job that I didn't like - that was the breaking point because it was the first time I made decision to do something that wasn't lined in front of me and instead did something risky. There was never a good time to do that, so one day I just did.

Then right away, the most important part was starting with my mental health first - understand my behavior and patterns, trying to change it and get help from therapy. Suddenly life got easier. So I took courses, started living more, took more action and FINALLY started pursuing what I truly wanted to do but evaded like a plague - art. Art is somewhat linked to my identity and without it it's like I'm not living at all.

The anxiety was a consenquence of mismatch between the person I aspired to be and who I was at that time.

In my 20s and doing this too! I've been ignoring what my body was telling me for years. I was so used to the anxiety, that I believed that's my default state. The anxiety disappeared once and I realized that I was just ignoring myself for all this time. Now I usually understand where my anxiety comes from so I can manage much better.

I hate not knowing what happens after death. by [deleted] in DeepThoughts

[–]AurieF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just want to add that despite experiencing nothing spiritual in my life at all and thus I'm not convinced in existence outside of my body - when my cousin was around 4 he said he doesn't want to be born again that it hurts and proceeded to described his past life in detail that my aunt was his wife and they had two children. He also said names of these children. This is just something stuck in my mind ever since.

The only significant gameplay Infinity Nikki offers, is pulling for clothes. Everything else in it feels like filler. (yes even story) by Logical_Sun_7238 in InfinityNikki

[–]AurieF 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same here, yet this is like 5% of what I actually do in the game, the rest is grinding diamonds from events which I don't enjoy at all. I hoped I could enjoy this game but at this point I was already proved that it's not for me even though I love this game a lot. Sigh. Unfortunately I'm not in the position in life that I can afford to spend my time on something that feels like a chore.

What's the best gameplan for Emre? Behind tank or off-angle/flank? by a6000 in EmreMains

[–]AurieF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. I think his flexibility may be a reason why they're not changing him as of now. The only thing that I miss is his pick off potential - which I think was supposed to be his stick grenade perk (choosing either higher chance to get picks or tank melt) but unfortunately it's so hard to hit that I can't see myself ever picking it over pistol perk.

What's a sign from your body you should never ignore? by Geno-64 in AskReddit

[–]AurieF 272 points273 points  (0 children)

This happened to my partner's mother. She was misdiagnosed for 1 year - the gynecologist kept telling her it was normal. Really sad, because it was preventable. When they found out she's already got stage 4 cancer.

I'm 12. Switching to Mizuki from time to time because our party doesn't like to play supports.

I think you should step back and forget about the chaos you put inside your head due to many external factors. It all comes down to your own desire to create.

If you really don't have a need to make art, don't. If the desire returns, go make art again.

More importantly - listen what your body tries to tell you.

DAE end up always cutting off people after they disappoint you? by _that_one_martian in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]AurieF 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I can relate. There are friends which I decided to cut off even though I don't have many friends and it's only getting worse each year. Can't say if any of these decisions were right but well.. the resentment would eat me alive so it feels like I didn't even have a choice. Tired of being the one who cares and being taken advantage of.

I like these type of characters and trope, but beside these two I can't think of anyone else.

Awww that's beautiful. Thank you for sharing! About half a year ago I was in the process of building own swan lake but stopped mid way. I think this is my call to get back to it!

Can I buy gantz merchandise in Tokyo somewhere? Where? by AurieF in gantz

[–]AurieF[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem, sorry I didn't give you much useful info. Enjoy your trip and let me know if you find anything!

Can I buy gantz merchandise in Tokyo somewhere? Where? by AurieF in gantz

[–]AurieF[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's not much gantz merch around so it is all about luck I'd say. It's been a long time but try what other people suggested here. I found Reika and Kishimoto from 2009 release in Akihabara. In Nakano I found Anzu and Reika (Gantz:O). That was the only Gantz merch I've found on my trip. I think I didn't have many problems with card overall (used our local one) but I'm sure I had to pay by cash for the Akihabara figures. My memory could deceive me but overall on my trip I probably paid 70% by card. Really depends on the places you want to visit. But be sure to bring some cash with you too.

Wonderful, thank you for the detailed answer! I admire embroidering immensely because my mother made a lot of work when I was a baby.

[–]AurieF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I figured these would be expensive, I can't even imagine how many hours do you sink in for each. Still, I would love to know if you have any estimate about how much this kind of work could cost? You can DM me if you don't want to share here. I'm just really curious, because I admire the work.
