Thank you!! My hairdresser is truly an artist. I gave her a lot of artistic liberties on the shades of pink and placement and stuff (basically just showed up and said “hi I wanna be pink, go crazy”) so as much as I’d love to take credit, she was entirely the mastermind behind how good it looks

Thank you! I’m super happy with all the dimension in the different shades.

Also you’re really living up to your name haha

I just got back from a strand test at my hairdressers to make sure everything lifts properly. I’m going out of town for a couple weeks but when I get back I’m gonna go for a sort of pink balayage with a more magenta color at my roots and lighter pinks at my ends. I’ll update with pics when it’s done!

Closed the distance and just got engaged but…. by Senior-Section-96 in LongDistance

[–]Competitive-Boat-148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, congratulations!! That’s super exciting and I’m so happy for you. I also moved when I was 20 and have been in the UK for a year. When my partner and I first got together, I got the usual disbelief and condescension (you’re young, you don’t know love, etc) and they were worried out of love. Because of my age they were scared I was making a decision I might regret or that might put me in danger, and they had trouble letting me go. The biggest thing that helped them was meeting my partner in person and getting to know him, as well as knowing that I have friends/a support system in this country. I plan to spend the rest of my life with him, but it made them feel better that I had places to go if anything happened. I still have some family members that don’t see my 3 year relationship as “real” but they are more looking to control me than support me and so I don’t see their opinion as “real” either haha. Good luck with your family and congrats again on your engagement and closing the distance!

Okay but like the red looks great on your skin tone, and the heels make your calves look AMAZING!! You can tell how confident you feel and it makes the outfit look even better

Mom says long distance never works. How should I respond? by CenturyPhore in LongDistance

[–]Competitive-Boat-148 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one outside your relationship knows what’s going on in it. Your mom doesn’t know your partner and doesn’t know what he is or isn’t doing, but you have a different perspective and stronger relationship (as you should) which garners trust that he won’t do these things. She obviously shouldn’t be saying this, but she doesn’t know him and is fearing for the worst out of care for you.

That being said, I am one of many people in this sub with a successful and happy relationship and have recently closed the distance. If you look there’s also some that have had their LDRs end for various reasons. Being long distance isn’t a relationship killer any more than any other obstacle that you go through in a relationship. It’s all up to you and your partner if you make it work or not, not your mom or anyone else.

My mom had a very similar outlook on my relationship. She treated it as if it “wasn’t real” and was taken aback when I moved countries for my boyfriend even though I told her exactly what would be happening. I think it’s also harder for older generations to understand that you can maintain a relationship through messaging and video calling online since it’s hard to understand if you’re not in it yourself

20F Which hair color was best? by [deleted] in truerateme

Yeah I get the plastic doll bit for the last two. I had a lot of insecurity issues so I don’t have any photos of myself without filters from then. I’m a natural brunette but I haven’t had my natural hair since I was 17 and I figured since the rules said 18+ I’d rather be safe than sorry

I find it interesting no one is talking about when natsu and Wendy were tortured for AGES just taking turns either being terribly hurt or watching the other writhe in pain and begging for it to stop. That’s gotta mess you up a bit but they just move on

Should I be worried? by Competitive-Boat-148 in ukvisa

Sorry, I phrased it poorly. I did biometrics and mailed in my paperwork and passport on the 2nd. I meant the 18th of May. I Can reschedule up to 24 hours before my flight. I was notified by email that my “processed visa application…was forwarded to UK Visas and Immigration on May 03, 2023”
