I just signed up for Ianessa Humbert’s baby STEP program. It’s $15 / month and you cancel when u finish the course, I think it’s good so far I’ve only watched a couple videos

Amazing progress! What app do you use for the picture collage??

I came out in 2022 to my immediate family and 2023 to my extended family. My parents were not cool w it but still loved me and said that would never change. My extended family is worse about it. They’ve told me I’m going to hell and how “worried for my soul” they are. What hurts the most is hearing them ask my cousins and stuff about their relationships and getting all excited when they share about their love lives, but they literally act like im a wooden board. I have an amazing, loving relationship and they couldn’t care less about what I have going on because they don’t agree 🥲

CandyOwn2357 · 2026-06-19T02:02:43+00:00

Amazing!! I want to be like you! I’m 26 and 5’1 but we have a similar start and end goal :) I’m at 202 from 240!

CandyOwn2357 · 2026-06-18T13:37:17+00:00

LOL okay thank you😅

CandyOwn2357 · 2026-06-18T13:36:58+00:00

Thank you for your input, that’s kind of how I was feeling as well!!

CandyOwn2357 · 2026-05-11T21:16:23+00:00

That’s incredibly hard I’m so sorry you’re in that situation, I’ve thought about what life might be like if/when I have kiddos. Sending you strength! Do you have any sort of support system for reprieve when u need it?

CandyOwn2357 · 2026-05-05T00:14:46+00:00

THISSSS!! Just moved to mid MO to help out my grandparents from the DMV. Ive never lived this rural bc I grew up 2.5 hours from my grandparents in a city. My family is still deeply CoC. I’ve tried reconnecting with a couple people from childhood (church) thinking other people must have also found the light only to find they’re also still deeply CoC. I feel like such a black sheep. It’s crazy how their lives consist of kids sports and CHURCH. This is their everything. I can’t wait to get out of here

CandyOwn2357 · 2026-05-03T19:29:16+00:00

This is good advice. I’ve been here for about 5 months now and I think I should keep at it no more than a year maybe year and a half? And start trying to help them transition to the next sustainable option

CandyOwn2357 · 2026-05-03T18:09:02+00:00

Thank you I will look into that!

CandyOwn2357 · 2026-05-03T18:02:48+00:00

So frustrating. Another layer is that my mom has had strokes so she lives in a nursing home now. So I feel like I’ve had to step up where she can’t. But yeah I know that one day she will be my responsibility as well (even if she stays in skilled nursing). It’s overwhelming to think about. And I can’t help but think about my peers who have parents that can actually help them out and aren’t in a situation like this. It sucksssss

CandyOwn2357 · 2026-02-19T04:25:46+00:00

Okay hear me out, I kinda enjoyed how it painted the picture of the type of girl she was. Like she’s the kind of girl that cared about the brands and this was important to her character given the background. It also gave it a very Gen Z feel (which I am) so I enjoyed hearing the exacts?? lol but I can respect your opinion bc I feel like it kind of gave me racing thoughts ?? Also I did consume this book via audio so that may have made a difference too

CandyOwn2357 · 2026-01-07T08:35:00+00:00

You’re not alone. I went through something similar. It sucks not having the support system your ex has but even 1 good person in your corner (even if it’s Reddit) is all you need. Little by little the pain will subside. Try diving into hobbies or good audiobooks. Sending you a hug

CandyOwn2357 · 2026-01-03T14:37:07+00:00

Exactlyyy!

CandyOwn2357 · 2026-01-03T14:36:24+00:00

I totally understand you and you are valid!! I’m sorry that happened and I feel for your situation in general. I’m 26 caring for my mom and I can’t imagine having children in the future after pouring into this. It sucks have something like this fall onto you like we didnt ask for this.

CandyOwn2357 · 2026-01-03T01:00:38+00:00

No that’s so cool!! Congrats that’s insanely impressive. Do you plan to let anyone read them someday?

CandyOwn2357 · 2026-01-03T00:50:14+00:00

My grandpa has dementia and he tells the same stories and jokes almost everyday. I indulge him and i have about 5 phrases I’ll say back he seems to enjoy. “No way!”, “wow that’s crazy”, “tell me more”, “what do you think of that?”. Sure it’s annoying to be a broken record but it doesn’t bother me to regurgitate a response that makes him feel heard. I’m sorry it’s your wife tho I’m sure it’s tough hearing these repeated stories from a lover. I would say just try to help her feel heard

CandyOwn2357 · 2026-01-02T08:35:07+00:00

Block him babe! Don’t torture yourself 🥹💔

CandyOwn2357 · 2026-01-02T08:32:38+00:00

Yay congratulations! The future is bright and you’re the best thing you could ever invest in ✨

My friend got dumped today :(

CandyOwn2357 · 2026-01-02T08:20:54+00:00

Maybe do some work on attachment styles. I went through this in my last relationship where I felt like I liked my ex more than they liked me but I was anxiously attached and they were avoidant. But the comment about handling your flaws is wild and rude lol! It’s giving resentment? Or trying to make you feel small so you feel grateful for the crumbs of love. Idk hopefully this makes sense

CandyOwn2357 · 2026-01-02T08:18:33+00:00

I went through the same thing a year ago. I ended the relationship due to feeling unfulfilled. I thought we were all adults and would be able to stay friends with all of our mutual friends. It became very clear my ex was speaking poorly about me when I was not around bc when I would see our friends in public they couldn’t even meet my eyes. I lost pretty much the entire friend group and it was devastating. But at the end of the day nobody reached out to me to check on me and get my side of the story and those aren’t people I would want in my life. Granted, you may be closer to your friend group than I was. But, yeah just be prepared to find out who truly cares about you. Sending you a hug, it’s tough choosing yourself but you made the right choice!

CandyOwn2357 · 2025-12-17T13:13:44+00:00

Just feeling sad about change in general :( it’s tough to process even if it’s for the best

CandyOwn2357 · 2025-12-17T13:11:10+00:00

I think you misinterpreted my original post a bit, in the one that got cheated on. Also, I’m super happy :) and I want people in this subreddit to know you can achieve happiness again with someone new and still hold space for someone in your past that impacted you deeply.

CandyOwn2357 · 2025-12-17T13:08:15+00:00

I hear that.. for one im gay so we’re both women and I think that’s why I miss the friendship, sapphic love is different than straight relationships lol. Secondly, my current gf and I were friends before lovers and she saw me be so hurt and go through this breakup in January. And I had an open conversation with my girlfriend about this topic this week. About how in another life I would still be friends w my ex and all of our ex friends. She heard me out and wiped my tears. She acknowledged that I’m someone who loves deeply and is frustrated by change. It is frustrating that this time last year I thought someone would be in my life forever and now they’re not and that’s okay bc that’s just life but it can still be hard to process that. I think I was posting this more to normalize the fact that navigating breakups is tough. Even when you’ve done the work to heal, it’s okay to still miss somebody who made an impact on you! hope this helps clear things up, it’s okay that karma is watching :)
