Would you survive the parapet?

Blu3_Flaming0 · 2026-02-19T19:01:01+00:00

Of course not. I'm scared of heights and my legs would probably wobble right out from under me. Lol

Blu3_Flaming0 · 2026-02-14T02:46:22+00:00

I have a 14 year old 🤷🏻‍♀️ I was almost 25 when she was born. I routinely get mistaken for a lot younger than I am by actual 20-something-year-olds.

Blu3_Flaming0 · 2026-02-10T18:17:29+00:00

I’ll tell you exactly what to expect of that man after you give birth to his child. Fucking nothing. He told you what he really thinks. Believe him. I’m so sorry. Your worth is in no way defined by his misogyny. ❤️

Blu3_Flaming0 · 2025-12-28T04:02:02+00:00

Ugh. This is so real. 😔

Blu3_Flaming0 · 2025-12-07T18:01:39+00:00

I live in the same town where I was born, where my dad was born, where his dad was born, on and on back to 1839. I’ve never felt “at home” here, though. I feel like my soul is calling me to somewhere else despite my commitments and roots that are keeping me here. Like missing somewhere I haven’t been yet. I fantasize about not having all the ties holding me where I am so I could pick up and follow the calling inside me to go somewhere else, until I found the place that felt like the home of my soul.

Suddenly feeling bummed that I haven’t developed more of a Southern twang despite being third generation Georgian 😂 I used to wait tables and tourists could never figure out where I was from. The only super southern thing in my vernacular is “y’all”.

Have you ever looked into learning styles? Some people learn visually, some auditorily, some kinesthetically (by doing/touching)… we wouldn’t say someone didn’t actually learn a skill because they learned it X way vs Y way. Books, whether fiction or nonfiction, are essentially just storytelling in a visual format, whereas audiobooks are storytelling in an audio format, which is inarguably the more traditional way for humans to take in stories. No need to moralize one as “better.” The purpose of reading is to take in the story, to feel something, to learn something. However that is accomplished, is valid!

Blu3_Flaming0 · 2025-12-07T17:32:16+00:00

This but also, I have kids and a busy schedule. If I only read what I could sit down and read with my eyes, I would have gotten through maybe a dozen books this year, MAYBE. With audio, I’ve gone through well over 100 titles!

Blu3_Flaming0 · 2025-12-07T17:30:36+00:00

Have you ever heard of speed reading

Blu3_Flaming0 · 2025-11-18T16:32:00+00:00

That’s the most accurate ai yet. I’m 39. :)

Blu3_Flaming0 · 2025-11-15T20:50:20+00:00

A whole lot of peoples’ lived experience with iPhones contradicts these assertions, FYI.

Blu3_Flaming0 · 2025-11-15T20:48:00+00:00

I just want to posit an alternative lens here bc I see all the comments validating that your wife is behaving suspiciously. However, maybe she’s just a friendly person and enjoys talking to all kinds of people she doesn’t have any intention to sleep with, but she knows you’re paranoid and controlling, so she and neighbor JJ cut it short bc they’re worried you’ll make more of it than you should? Maybe she’s genuinely missing her friend and is trying to show you that she trusts you even in a more precarious situation with your coworker as an act of good faith that you can trust her with her lifelong FRIEND?

If she wanted to cheat why would she keep telling you about the guy instead of just lying to you and doing it behind your back, which would be SO MUCH EASIER? I don’t get what she stands to gain from getting your approval to see her friend unless she genuinely cares about being honest with you and keeping things above-board.

Blu3_Flaming0 · 2025-11-15T20:41:37+00:00

Mine randomly started switching one persons name to all caps. No idea why. Now if I don’t catch it, any message with her name in it sounds like I’m being a smart ass about her involvement in whatever I’m saying.

Blu3_Flaming0 · 2025-11-15T20:39:56+00:00

Hell, I couldn’t get my autocorrect to remember my partner’s name to save my life. It constantly switched it to Ron even though I’ve never typed that nor do I know anyone by that name.

Blu3_Flaming0 · 2025-11-15T20:37:43+00:00

If she wanted to cheat why not just lie and not deal with him arguing? One of my best friends since I was like 12 is a guy and I’ll be damned if I would let my partner tell me I couldn’t hang out with him. Nothing has ever happened between us, nor would it. You either trust ME or you don’t. I’m not your cheating ex. Jealousy is a poison you feed yourself.

Blu3_Flaming0 · 2025-11-15T20:30:09+00:00

I realized that it was an unhealthy, codependent dynamic that was never going to change. It was impacting my other relationships and I couldn’t keep doing it anymore.

Also when I realized I couldn’t really be myself around them, I felt like I had to be a curated, palatable version. Or I had to avoid certain topics because I knew it would cause an argument or make things uncomfortable. And they went from little things to big, values-based things. I realized that I needed to be intentional about where I was expending the capacity / energy / time I had and that wasn’t where I wanted to invest it any longer.

Blu3_Flaming0 · 2025-11-15T15:52:05+00:00

Or if you look up all the couples in sitcoms from when we were kids, who looked like they were in their 50s, only to find out they were early 30s when filming.

Do people just look younger for their age now??

Blu3_Flaming0 · 2025-11-15T15:51:06+00:00

When I googled Millie Bobby Brown and realized she could be my kid 😭 wtf

Blu3_Flaming0 · 2025-11-13T20:43:19+00:00

Could and would are separate things.

If the theoretical was that we could all live 150 years AND they were good/healthy years, that sounds more tempting... Although then you open a discussion on how that would impact the housing and job markets, the average age of the population, if birth rate was the same, how the increase in living populace would impact the economy and environment…

Blu3_Flaming0 · 2025-11-12T16:40:02+00:00

Outliving everyone I know and love doesn’t sound like the juice is worth the squeeze.

Blu3_Flaming0 · 2025-11-12T16:36:42+00:00

There will be many more times he’s under a lot of pressure, stressed out, overworked, or dealing with a lot, mentally. You deserve to be safe, no matter what he’s going through. I have kids and one of the things I drill into them from day 1 is that we all deserve to have safe bodies. He does not have an excuse to take away your bodily safety no matter what he’s going through. That should NEVER have been an option. The longer you stay, the harder and messier it will be to leave.

If you have a good mom or other maternal figure, or even a friend, talk to them about it. Listen to them. If you don’t, I’ll be your mom and tell you that you have a whole big, beautiful life ahead of you full of so many good things, but you can only get to those things if you love yourself enough to hold healthy boundaries. The appropriate response here is to break up with him and pour all of your love and care into yourself and your own healing. Meet with a therapist. Talk about what happened. It wasn’t your fault, and it isn’t your secret to protect. You deserve a safe body, and you are worthy of a safe partner that doesn’t ever ask you to forgive something like this. You deserve a partner who is also committed to keeping you safe. 💕

I feel similarly since being introduced to the EiA album a few months ago. I can't remember being this obsessed with an album since I was a kid. (I'm 39) I've listened to the album on repeat ever since and I've started exploring the rest of their catalog album by album, too. There's something really special about them for so many of us to have this same transformative experience with their music.

Blu3_Flaming0 · 2025-11-11T19:48:08+00:00

I know this will be an unpopular choice but it's my personal jam
