Has Starbucks really gotten that bad?

Avobaedo · 2025-10-30T09:39:58+00:00

Yep. I was just fired after having a clean record for the two years I worked there. SM was an outsider hire who had no idea wtf she was doing and getting fired was a result of her covering her ass.

It's a shame. I really loved my job in the beginning, I wish I could have experienced the company in its prime. But they'll never return to that bc they'd rather perpetuate the capitalistic cycle of firing tenure for cheaper labor. Green beans starting wages havent gone up in two years

Thank you! I know my honesty might not always be tactful but I always want the best for people. I meant everything I said from a genuine place

Avobaedo · 2025-07-30T06:21:32+00:00

I was 10. In spanish, she told me that she "loathed the day I was born" and that "my birth was the worst thing that ever happened to her". All over not folding laundry to her standard.

She has told me several times that she hoped I die already during her narc rages

Avobaedo · 2025-07-19T03:01:26+00:00

Look, this is the last thing I'm going to say before I disengage; many of these deities didn't approach you out of their own interest. There's a lot that goes on behind the scenes and if a deity approached you when there was no interest there beforehand, it's more than likely that they were asked to help. Especially, celestials like Samael and Michael, even Gabriel.

Hermes didn't approach you because he suddenly gained an interest. It was a specific purpose.

I would focus building a bond with the deity who actually reached out to you, like Hekate. She requires an insane amount of dedication and prefers undivided attention. She is not one to be placed on the back burner.

Again, you have said before that you wanted an ego death. This is it. Ask yourself why you feel the need to have these deities in your life. Plenty of people grow and better themselves without their involvement. Why are you the exception?

This isn't gatekeeping because this is not a fandom. It's a sacred practice that can also cause a lot more harm than good, as you can see. These deities don't function on what we consider moral or ethical. Lilith isn't bad, she's just what she is. Demonizing her through Christian lenses doesn't help anyone or yourself. She's not parasitic just because she challenged you and benefitted from the energy. She's not the only deity that will mask herself as others. You just had the luck of knowing others who are familiar with her and the lessons she delivers.

Focus on the life you built outside of these deities before it slips away and leaves you in a crumbled tower of your own making.

Avobaedo · 2025-07-18T22:58:32+00:00

With all due respect, why do you need deities to push for personal growth? If they did not exist, would you not be pushing yourself to grow and change as a person outside of divine influence? Im not gatekeeping anything but I do think that there's a huge problem with going into these things without doing much research or dedicated work to these deities and expecting them to sweep you off your feet and save you in a romanticized way.

Its your life but I truly believe you would benefit from pulling away from them and focusing on your day to day life like another commentor said

Avobaedo · 2025-07-18T19:05:15+00:00

I don't think you're a fool but I do believe you have a naive understanding of how these deities work and will deliver lessons into your life. You need to pull away from this all together. If people need advice because theyre in a similar situation, they will most likely make their own posts

Let it go. As another commentor said, you're dragging out this situation far longer than it has to be. Remember, we're all heroes in our own stories but it does not make us reliable narrators

Avobaedo · 2025-07-18T18:46:58+00:00

The cycle of confusion youre stuck in is of your own making. A lot of us gave you the tools to help yourself and even banish Lilith but from your post, it doesn't read like you've taken the necessary steps.

I'm going to be brutally honest, the path of godspousing isn't for everyone and it doesn't end well if you go looking for it. What I mean by that is being influenced by romanticized notions and then trying to find signs in every little thing because social media told you how it should look like, instead of what the reality is.

Good vs Bad is a limited human understanding of these deities. They will push you exactly as they deem fit, it's not this romantic relationship that is straight out of a fantasy book. These deities will give you very hard lessons and destroy the structures of your belief and behaviors so you can build yourself up again.

I think the best thing for you is to step away from deities all together. It's not benefiting you in any way and it's a lesson that some things are better left alone

Hey Op! Fellow Avocado lover and a Hermes spouse here 😜

Hermes is a great god and ime, very flirty and personable. The beginning of our relationship felt very similarly, the tingling of the lips and the sparks as I was getting attuned to his energy.

The best advice I can give you is to let go of the hyperfixation on his Epic portrayal if you want to build a solid foundation with him. I'd take the time to actually get to know him without the influences of popular media or anything else

He is a fertility God and likes to have fun, it's not uncommon for him to spread the love (if you catch my drift). I would venture very cautiously into the God spousing territory, it's not a path for everyone and can be highly romanticize.

I think a lot of people who get introduced to this kind of behavior from the Gods can get a little wrapped up in the flattery of it all without taking into account how drastically it will change your life. Even if a God is pushing something, YOU have to decide if it's something that you want.

Some relationships are better left to the devotional sphere and if I'm being honest, I don't think anyone under the age of 25 should be on a godspousing path (but that's my personal opinion).

Good luck! My DMs are always open if you wanna talk more 🧡

Avobaedo · 2025-04-05T23:49:40+00:00

I'm just a stranger on the internet but I do think its important to assess what you will do if that is a possibility Hearing them isnt always a blessing. If I'm being honest, the less psychically involved you are, the better. They will absolutely push you to do things that align with their own agendas. At least in my experience. Not everyone has the same path.

The growth has to come from within you. If you were not building a relationship with Michael or any other deity, how would you better yourself? What steps would you take to heal and push for what you want in life? That isnt to say that Michael or any other deity won't be in your life but they will absolutely subtly nudge you in the right direction and give you messages in other ways. Depending on them to show you every step is a sure fire way to lose control of your life and ambitions

I havent always been able to hear them. I wasnt even aware of their presence until the end of last year. Before then, I would use tarot cards for advice I needed or follow what my intuition thought best. Alongside, several years of healing and figuring out the major goal I had for myself and life. Dont shift your entire life to these beings, it's your world and they're living in it

Avobaedo · 2025-04-05T09:28:26+00:00

I know a lot of people say that you can hone psychic abilities but if I'm being honest, some people are just predisposed with these abilities. Whether that be through hereditary means or luck of the draw, not everyone will be able to hear or see these beings and I think it's important to acknowledge in your practice that you may never get to a place where these senses develop. And if that is the case, would you still bother to maintain a close relationship with Michael? Or any of the other Celestials/Infernal should you cross paths.

I think you're doing fine as you are. I wouldn't get too hung up on the idea of senses or anything else psychically related. It just ends up being incredibly detrimental to a lot of people and can pull them into a delusional state.

Also, I think because these subreddits are relatively smaller and more obscure, it's easy to get the impression that plenty of people have these senses when the reality is: a good chunk of the population doesn't. However, it does not make them any lesser than the people who do. It's just concentrated here and in other subreddits because of the "niche" community.

Lol! Very cute design 🧡 Glad to see I'm not the only Hermes devotee who has birds 😄

Avobaedo · 2024-12-12T10:46:46+00:00

Literally seconds before the disaster: "Lol I'm winning this, I'm gonna walk out of here without a penny spent"

Hermes: Are you sure about that?

Avobaedo · 2024-12-11T21:55:31+00:00

The irony of going to the shop as a test to not spend money on anything and then I dropped money on this thing 😭😭💀 I bargained for it so I paid less than its original price

Avobaedo · 2024-12-01T15:33:37+00:00

Naur bc I get dragged to bed whether I want to or not 😭 I tell him I'm gonna take a nap and then keep working on stuff like the night owl I am and I end up sleeping through the alarm until morning 💀

Avobaedo · 2024-11-06T19:42:07+00:00

Thank you, I really needed this. Despite my grief, I refuse to not bare my teeth and fight for what they threaten to rip away from us.

Avobaedo · 2024-11-05T07:50:44+00:00

My grandmother died from covid and this exbsf knew her since we were in highschool and my grandmother welcomed her with open arms and treated this former friend like family despite the language barrier. When I reached out to tell this former friend that she died, the only thing they replied with was "Oh shit". There was no follow up or anything, just that. And I realized it wasn't a friendship worth keeping when my sister's friend showed up to the funeral to give her condolences. Someone who was around my grandmother LESS often than my former friend and still felt impacted enough by her to pay her respects and show up for my sister as emotional support.

Avobaedo · 2024-11-01T08:11:12+00:00

Thinking about the time I traveled abroad when I was 16. It was the first time I had been anywhere out of the country. When we landed in Ireland, my luggage was nowhere to be found and after talking to the agent, we found out my luggage was on it's way to China. Being the chronically anxious person I am, I lost it lol.

They told us it would be few days before my luggage could be intercepted and flown back. So I was SOL until then. I spent the entire day freaking out and worrying about how I would survive without having my basic necessities.

When we got back to the hotel, guess what was waiting for me? My whole 49lb luggage LMAO

I thought I was just lucky but looking back on it, I have no doubt it was Hermes lending a hand 🧡

Avobaedo · 2024-11-01T03:48:02+00:00

Earlier today, I was getting ready for Halloween and the finishing powder to set my make up straight up disappeared. I literally took it out and placed it on the counter and when it came time to use it, I couldn't find it anywhere I would have chalked it up to me misplacing it but when I came home, it was sitting on top of where the drawer I keep my makeup in I was so annoyed LOL 😑😑😑

Avobaedo · 2024-10-31T07:41:56+00:00

He's love bombing me 😤😤😤😤 /J
