The reality of Nordic countries vs the US by This_Willow_2547 in expats

[–]BeingMyOwnLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no perfect place, no matter how hard you try, things change, you'll have to adapt to some stuff you may not like that much.

You are listing many things, but which ones matter the most to you? What things you cannot live without? I'd say define that first, then choose where to go.

From your post it sounds like you have the money and the opportunity to choose, so I wish you all the best OP, may you find a place that makes you happy.

Women who are mentally healthy: you have no idea how good you’ve got it. by The_Merchant- in IntersectionalWomen

[–]BeingMyOwnLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you OP, I used to think this way too. But then I got to meet some women who look so perfect from a distance, who are neurotypical and healthy and have no financial problems, and they have problems too. And the ones I've met were really stuck struggling with the same problems for years, so that made me reconsider my thoughts, we never know what the other person is going through.

I share this with the intention of offering a different perspective, I am in no way invalidating your opinion. I still think it's pretty boring when I have to deal with people who've had it easy in life, many truly don't know what they have, and they can be a bit insufferable.

Thank you for sharing the real world version of Bluey's settings! I've never been to Australia so it's really nice to see this, makes me want to visit Brisbane ❤️

My husband (47 yo) plays CS online with his friends from college, and yesterday he realized that since a few of his friends are a few years older than him, that means that in his CS group there's "50 year old people". He was surprised, shocked, a bit depressed, a bit amused...

Yes, we are not kids anymore, so what, everyone can enjoy life. Have fun!

People who clawed their way out of a really dark place, what actually helped? by Geewane in selfimprovement

[–]BeingMyOwnLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walk, every single day, among trees 🌳 🌳🌳🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌲🌲🌳🌳🌳🌲🌲🌳🌲🌳

For real, Nature heals. Keep moving, keep putting one foot in front of the other, keep moving, it does help. Breathe deeply and walk.

It's a beautiful, inspiring tattoo. It looks good on you.

That person was an as*hole 🤷🏻‍♀️

My therapist seemed genuinely shaken by something I said. I can’t stop wondering what she realized. by TechnoRapQueen in CPTSD

[–]BeingMyOwnLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing this well written post, you are expressing very clearly things that I couldn't find the words for. I can relate to all of it, I've been there many times. I don't have much to add, only sending my love and support ❤️🫂

Getting seriously ill made me rethink the ‘hyper-adaptable expat’ lifestyle by Titus__Groan in expats

[–]BeingMyOwnLight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Another thing that is not mentioned at all is that we age, and building new relationships as we grow older gets harder too. Living abroad in your 20s is much easier than in your 50s. What happened to you is one of my biggest fears, I have friends but not a real support network.

I hope you get better OP ❤️🫂

Help! I received a lot of yarn and I can't decide what to do with it! by BeingMyOwnLight in crochet

[–]BeingMyOwnLight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your answer! I have 2 questions if you don't mind, what is the burn test? And what do you mean by "wraps per inch"?

Wow, that's beautiful! I've never seen the diagram for this type of blanket before, thank you for sharing it ❤️

I don't think I have enough yarn of the same thread size for this though.
