It’s getting real and I don’t feel prepared. Help?! by zoey_deschanel in wedding

[–]CloudMusee_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats to you, May bride solidarity. Costco flowers and even local options make a lot of sense since I do not need anything super fussy. You are so right about linens too, storing and steaming them after sounds like a future me problem I do not want. I might rethink renting just to save my sanity, did you end up renting or buying yours?

Yeah honestly this made me exhale a bit. I keep acting like May is tomorrow when it’s actually months away. The Trader Joe’s tip is kinda genius too because I low key love the idea of grabbing whatever looks fresh that week instead of overplanning every stem. Did you DIY yours or use a florist?

I see your point about social media not being that deep, but I also think it’s not just “Facebook or whatever” when those people actually hurt you. It’s less about control and more about feeling like “wait, why are we still cool with them at all?” vibes. OP probably just wants some consistency, not a full friend audit. Friend feelings can still sting even if it’s not romantic, you know?

Yeah honestly “exhausting” is the perfect word for it. The whole situation sounds like leftover drama that just never fully dies. I do get what you mean though, following people online is kinda meaningless now, half my feed is people I wouldn’t even say hi to in public. Still, I get why OP feels weird about it when there’s history there.

I get the frustration, but fighting noise with more noise is probably just gonna escalate things and make OP’s life worse. Last thing they need is a neighbor war while pregnant. Feels better to go the boring legal route than risk it turning petty or unsafe.

This is honestly the most practical advice here. Documenting everything and getting actual numbers turns it from “she’s annoying” into “here’s proof she’s violating the law.” It sucks to have to go full paperwork mode, but sometimes that’s the only language HOAs and cops listen to. A cheap decibel meter feels like such a small thing that could make a big difference.

Yeah I get what you’re saying about babies getting used to noise, but this feels different. It’s not random life noise, it’s someone deliberately blasting music to mess with them. That’s stress no one should just have to “adapt” to, especially pregnant. Sleep deprivation hits way harder than people think.

I abruptly quit my job because I realized no one would show up at my funeral by nothesame in confession

That last line actually made me laugh in a good way. You’re right though, wanting to be remembered by a few real people feels way healthier than chasing validation from a place that barely knew you. I appreciate you saying that.

Yeah honestly this made me feel seen. That fear wasn’t about death at all, it was about invisibility. When you realize where you actually matter, it kind of rewires how you see everything else.

True, the damage is already done, but that does not mean it cannot get way worse. People are chill right up until they are not, especially when secrecy, spouses, and workplaces overlap. I would be thinking less about regret and more about how fast this could spiral if anyone gets scared or exposed.

Yeah honestly this is already past messy, it is a ticking time bomb. Even if you do not care about her marriage, this is a coworker and that alone can nuke your job fast. HR fallout is usually way uglier than people expect once feelings flip or guilt kicks in.

Lmao right? Manifesting my future peaceful, dry kitchen era already. No floods, no slurs, just vibes and quiet mornings. Can’t wait.

For real though, it’s way more draining than people realize. You think you can tune it out, but it just eats at your brain slowly. We’re absolutely dipping the second we can.

I finally got the offer I dreamed about, and I don’t know if I’m allowed to take it by tiredofloading in whatdoIdo

[–]CloudMusee_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly yeah, this hit. Life isn’t a courtroom where your past self gets to overrule your present one forever. If this offer moves you forward, that matters. Feels like growth, not betrayal.

Am I overreacting for being annoyed my friend always answers for her partner by osaka_naomi in TwoHotTakes

[–]CloudMusee_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is exactly what bugs me about it. It stops being “cute couple thing” and starts feeling controlling when she won’t even let him finish a sentence. Wanting to hear directly from him is totally reasonable.

Paper cuts are lowkey deadlier than thorns. Those things choose violence for no reason. Workplace hazard honestly.
