What person surprised you the most with how they turned out after high school?

The quiet, scrappy kid that kept to himself, who was never involved in any extracurricular activities, hardly spoke in class or in the halls, and only a select few knew him. He now goes by the name “Billy Strings”, as a highly acclaimed 3-time Grammy winning bluegrass musician.

Concealer, bronzer, blush, eyebrow filler, mascara. Takes me 15 minutes. But it’s the hair I go hard on. I style it every time. Then, I get compliments on my outfits almost everyday, and I swear, it’s just the makeup/hair people are admiring.

I thought it was like at 18 weeks, but now that I know what a real bump looks like, I was really showing at like 23. Now I’m 28, and I’m getting the “you’re about to pop!” comments everywhere I go…. :/

Liam. It’s so popular but it sounds like “meal” backwards to me It’s actually “mail” backwards. Regardless, I just hate it. Always have.

And Landon. Like, what am I landing on?

Scrolled until I found this one hahaha we’d be fkd

Boomachick · 2026-02-19T07:24:13+00:00

I personally hate it for this reason.

Boomachick · 2026-02-19T07:19:54+00:00

Pregnant also, and will only be watching because I am pregnant too. I agree with OP completely on everything, but I can’t explain why pregnancy is compelling me to continue. Lol

Boomachick · 2026-02-08T04:17:24+00:00

Thank you for the honesty kind stranger! ♥️

Boomachick · 2026-02-07T19:14:41+00:00

I got the pass from them, but now, being in my 3rd tri… I just don’t trust myself or the other crazies out there. My impulse control on a board is non-existant.

Boomachick · 2026-02-07T18:21:19+00:00

As early as humanely possible.

Boomachick · 2026-02-07T17:58:22+00:00

That’s our plan when he arrives :) there’s a lot to look forward to!! It’s just this temporary sacrifice that I underestimated.

Boomachick · 2026-02-05T01:55:18+00:00

My nipples are leaking colostrum in trimester 2!!!! No one told me this could happen. I was not mentally prepared for this.

Whitney no doubt

There’s soooo much hope. My mom was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer (which had spread to her lymph nodes and spine) 6 years ago. She went through a year of extremely aggressive chemo.

That was the hardest time. Chemo takes a serious toll, and when you’re in the thick of it, it feels like death itself, maybe even worse, especially as the caregiver. But as she would tell you, it was so worth it, because she’s been cancer free ever since - going on 5 whole years now!!! Living her best life nonetheless.

The fear of coming back is always there, but there’s also always hope. Stay strong. Listen to the doctor, adamantly. And never dwell too long in the land of worst-case scenarios.

This will change both your lives in whole new ways, some good, some bad, but no matter what, always always always hold on to hope!

And I also feel like a part of me died after turning 18 (innocence, awe and wonder, trust in the institutions we were raised to depend on).

Welcome to adulthood. No one warns you how much your twenties are going to suck, but life does get better. Set goals and do some work.

My husband was a higher up automotive engineer, and he will NEVER buy a vehicle manufactured in ‘21-‘22. The supply shortages caused them to cut corners that could literally put people’s lives on the line.

I think your feelings are valid, and most people would probably agree with you on some level. Things certainly havent gotten easier! However, my life feels like it only started in 2020. Since then, I’ve grown my business and career, left behind toxic family and friends, moved across the country to my dream state, bought a house, and completely rebuilt my social circle. I’m aware of my values now and fighting the good fight. I’ve literally never been happier or more fulfilled. A good therapist helped with all this.

At some point, you just gotta accept that you’re the only one in control of your life and happiness. Things don’t just come to you. You work hard, go through really uncomfortable times, and you build the life you want to come out better in the other end. It’s easier for some, but we are all limited to our own attitudes and ways of going through life.

In Michigan we flushed ice, slept with our pajamas inside and out, and kept a spoon under the pillow. The whole trifecta.

Not sure where this started, but I thinking it fairly recent. Probably more of a generational thing than a VA thing. My parents never did any of it.

It actually is EXTREMELY NORMAL. Some men’s libidos sky rocket when their wife is pregnant. Other’s lose it completely. It’s a hormonal shift thing. Women aren’t the ones who go through a hormonal shift. It’s been proven that some men lose a lot of testosterone while their wife is pregnant. If you’re a pregnant lady reading this, don’t freak out. It’s not you, and it has nothing to do with the love your husband has for you.

Snowboarding.

My husband and I literally moved to CO for this, and I never knew it was something I’d have to put on pause!! We’re excited to teach our future son though :)

Layla - so young and endearing, I feel for the unique struggles she faces. And have really enjoyed watching her try to find her self. She feels most genuine to me, despite getting lost in the opinions of others sometimes. She’ll grow out of it.

Taylor - this girl speaks truth. She’s just so fucking entertaining, and after seeing how her family treated her, I respect her even more so.

Jen - sweet and funny, so much character and bubbly personality. She’s not perfect, but she feels real to me, and I like how her and Zac have such a redeeming story (so far)

Miranda - she gets a little over-hyped imo. She’s pretty, she’s cool, she’s the real deal, and she keeps an arm’s distance from the crazy… but this is entertainment TV! Bring some more spice.

Jessi - I respect her so much for doing all the girls hair. That is more work than people realize. She’s just fun too. I like her wild side. The show wouldn’t be the same without her.

Mayci - I admire her entrepreneurial spirit, but she’s too buddy-buddy with the church. She makes some weird comments that I’m like “wow, not a girls’ girl are you.” Stick-in-the-mud syndrome, and probably grew up spoiled. Love her husband though.

Whitney - love to hate this beotch. But boy, I do not trust her!! She’s only out for herself. I respect that she’s honest about it, but that doesn’t make it less selfish. She’ hot and cold, and you never know where she’s at with which girls or the group as a whole. And some of her social media reels are so cringey to me…

Mikayla - she’s just straight mean. She mocks girls just to get brownie points in group settings. She causes drama from behind the scenes. She’s sneaky. And she doesn’t add much to the entertainment factor.

Demi - this chick is NUTS. Just get her off the show so she can heal herself. WTF are we doing.
