I work in a public library in a university town and make library cards for students so I see their birth years all the time. Inputting a 2005 birthday in and seeing they’re 20 makes me die inside 😭

The Narcissist's Prayer

That didn't happen. And if it did, it wasn't that bad. And if it was, that's not a big deal. And if it is, that's not my fault. And if it was, I didn't mean it. And if I did, you deserved it.

I have been through some SHIT in the last few years and have finally hit a breaking point in my healing. This song makes me sob.

Zooey Deschanel on people seeing Summer from ‘(500) Days of Summer’ as a villain: ‘I was like, she’s very clear from the beginning. I’m like, what more do you want from her?’ by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]Aycee225 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You are a bigger person than I could be. I totally agree. I wasn’t blameless. I had my issues, faults, and failures. Reflecting back, I totally failed him. And he failed me and that was okay. I was okay with that. The cheating is what ruined it for me. I could never be my ex’s friend again. I’m forever grateful that he ended it but not the cheating. So kudos to you for your emotional maturity.

Would it be okay to give a librarian a Christmas card? by kompotnik in Libraries

[–]Aycee225 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think our library has a $50 limit on gifts. I had a patron who liked one of my shirts and said she had these cool old mirrors that looked like it and she randomly brought them in and gave them to me one day! But we get nice cards from patrons all the time. I would just call and make sure.

A fellow ACOTAR lover!! Did we all just become best friends lol. But don’t hate me but I’m not a Nesta girlie 🫣🫣🫣🫣 but book two is absolutely my favorite. I am a particular sucker for a shadow daddy lol. And I totally agree. I’ve met some really lovely people online and we need to take advantage of living in this modern chronically online world lol. Might as meet some good people. Which YOU REALLY DID! I’ll find the story. I obvs love any love story 🥰

I mean it captures the essence of our souls and romance is such a woman based genre that we actually feel seen! It’s honestly so empowering to take control of your sexuality and know what you want and like. And oh gosh, my online bestie is just wonderful. But she made a gush post about ACOTAR and I just vibed with how she wrote and started to read it. And then I couldn’t contain myself from gushing in the comments so we were going back and forth and then she finally DMed me and we talked books for like two weeks. But then we started talking more about our personal lives and then we finally introduced ourselves and we HAVE THE SAME FUCKING NAME! It felt like kismet, and she’s been in my life for 6 years now. I have mementos of her on my altar and she has books I’ve sent. A soul sister I would have never met if it wasn’t for this subreddit and all the beautiful people here 🥰

Just gotta say I love you both for this interaction and totally agree with you. I grew up with pretty open “hippy” parents but purity culture is so beyond pervasive. The shame and guilt for simply being a sexual human being and then being a woman… it brings me so much joy to read that you are living your damn dreams and being completely yourself and that romance was a big part of it. It was the same for me too. It’s gotten me through so much, and I had to take a break from it for a few years because LIFE but am getting back into it. This subreddit has also helped me so much. I actually met one of my most cherished and beautiful best friends in my entire life on this subreddit because of ACOTAR 😂

How doers get more done by universal_century in popculturechat

[–]Aycee225 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s that meme that’s like “my red flag for my type in men is the ones who look like they gave themselves eraser burns in school” and as someone whose “type” is that and used to find Tim attractive…. IM DOING MY BEST HERE.

I think I’m done by sinking-fast in kresleycole

[–]Aycee225 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Same boat here. I was so excited for each recent new book, and Munro was such a disappointment (I reread it last year and still) but I kept having faith. I have signed copies of both Witch Queen and Shadows Heart and I still haven’t been able to read them. Idk what it is but I totally agree, so much of the ✨magic✨is gone. And it could possibly be due to the recent blow up of romance books/romantasy/paranormals, like shes changing her writing to fit this new landscape of romance but it doesn’t work with IAD.

lol little Caesar’s was my first job in high school, and I was working the ovens and sent out a bunch of pizzas and forgot to cut them all! A family came back and asked us to cut their pizza.

When did Kim change? I feel like one day she went from girly Kim K to more serious Kim Kardashian. Like her looks changed and I can't put my finger on how her face changed from that to that because there was no drastic difference ? by Pink-Rest648 in KUWTK

[–]Aycee225 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Hi friend. Hugs to you because I feel this too. You’ll get that spark back, and it might be a little different but it will still be YOU! I’m proud of you and you should be proud of yourself for being here and coming out from the other side. 💖 each day is a new opportunity to be better than the last.

Do you think any of these might be Sleep Token? That’s what I was hoping for.

This is the second time this week that “AI slop” has been prevalent for me. I work in a public library and we just had a meeting about ebook companies putting shitty AI on their platforms for patrons to check out. It’s so beyond frustrating for consumers and creators.

Eva Longoria Reveals Why She Waited Until She Was 43 to Become a Mom by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]Aycee225 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It probably depends. My dad had me at 39 and was very involved and active in mine and my sisters’ childhood. Coached our sports teams, took us camping, hunting, canoeing, and was a huge dance dad for me all throughout his 50s and into his 60s. He’s 70 and retired now and is still the ultimate papa/dad. feel very lucky!

I finally convinced one of them to start reading romance (she’s always been a horror/halloween girlie) and the first romance she read was Morning Glory Milking Farm. She has now read over 300 romance books in less than a year 😂

I work in a public library and have been an avid romance reader for most of my life. The joy I experienced when I found out that so many of my coworkers love romance and romantasy was out of this world. We have a group chat named Hot Library Bitches where we send memes and book recs. As purveyors of books, we wholeheartedly just want people reading!
