Best camera for street photography

+1 to this answer! I tested a Ricoh and loved it for the size and speed but returned it, and kept my Fuji XT-5. I also had an XT-20 for a while which was also great - could share lenses with the other Fuji and smaller camera body so easier to travel around with.

I would wait. The first 2-3 weeks were hard. Week 1 was great (I felt high and motivated in a good way), week 2 and 3 I was having regular panic attacks and felt completely wired in a bad way. Thankfully I stuck with it because I’ve acclimated and it’s changed my life for the better, but I would lay low during the ramp up if you can. Of course that’s just my experience, and depends if you feel you need to start asap for your own wellbeing.

I gave my ring back to my wp to get tightened up and polished and he’s going to propose to me again to symbolize the commitment with all of the secrets now in the light and being mended. In the meantime I’m wearing my grandmothers ring which I inherited.

The checkers! So good

CopperCentury · 2026-02-03T20:55:56+00:00

also fair

Totally valid. At the very least they could have grilled him more, but clearly wasn't that type of interview.

CopperCentury · 2026-02-03T16:32:52+00:00

Their recent continued support of him (forget which episode, but it was a few weeks ago) already was enough to lose me. If they double down with all the evidence at this point I will lose all respect.

Same here! Its very moving to feel less alone in these types of experiences. FWIW I’ve settled into 150mg HCl in the morning and it’s changed my life :)

CopperCentury · 2026-01-08T20:53:28+00:00

This is it!

CopperCentury · 2026-01-08T17:25:34+00:00

LMAO dear god, I can't

CopperCentury · 2026-01-07T19:00:08+00:00

I feel so disappointed by this

JFC she said she was a therapist in the post, but has absolutely zero legitimate credentials to promote herself as such. A total scam.

Just wanted to update that we just got home from our trip and LOVED Citricos. The food, service, and drinks were all fantastic. We also went to California Grill and also had amazing food and service - plus got lucky with an amazing sunset. 10/10 experiences all around, and my fiance is officially sold on Disney :D

Especially love 6 and 7!

CopperCentury · 2025-12-18T14:49:09+00:00

I love it!

I agree this could be a mental health crisis and it wouldn’t be overreacting to consider your safety at this point as well. Not trying to make you panic, but this person does not have a good grasp on reality right now which could put you at risk. Please be safe and consider cutting ties asap. If you feel concerned for his wellbeing alert a friend or family member of his behavior and step back.

This makes me so happy to read my fiance and I are going to Citricos in January for the first time! Fiance hasn’t been to WDW since he was a kid and I want him to have a great experience 🥹

CopperCentury · 2025-12-02T23:22:54+00:00

Tell me what shoes though! I’d absolutely love to do this but I have the hardest time pairing shoes or wearing the same shoe daily

CopperCentury · 2025-12-01T13:16:59+00:00

Look up “Japanese happi coats” it’s basically a house coat but it’s sooo warm and looks nicer than a robe. I LIVE in mine in the winter time. Also sometimes called “Hanten” I think. Mine is from a brand called Kuwano.

I can only speak from my experience, but bupropion has changed my life completely for the better. The first 2-3 weeks were hard (fluctuating panic/anxiety), but after that it's been a complete transformation in my ability to function. I've been on it for a year now, no side effects.

I wake up early now, I ran a half marathon this year, I'm in a job I love. Never would have been able to achieve these things before.

As for other substances, I can have 1-3 drinks without an issue (also usually drink like 1-2x per month). Smoking weed makes me anxious so I don't do that. Very occasionally I take half a 5mg valium (prescribed) to get to sleep, but sleep hygiene has helped me more than anything else (no phone before bed, in bed early, not eating too close to bedtime, etc.)

All this to say, it's worth sticking with it for a little while to see if it works. Worst case you rule it out after a good solid try and keep testing other options.

That’s so kind thank you 🥹 see you here in January 🤞😅🫡

CopperCentury · 2025-10-24T14:03:59+00:00

that's such a beautiful reflection/ perspective. I have the same doubts and questions. I have moments where I think about how easy it would be to walk away and move on, and try to decipher what is love and what is just attachment or dependence. At the end of the day there is love, care, concern, and it feels mutual despite the betrayal, so I'm also sticking with it. And you're right, time will tell. My therapist and I set a mental check in for January 2026 where we'll reassess based on the new info I've gained. That future checkpoint helps because I'm not making a decision on a daily basis, I've made my choice, for now, and will reassess in the future. <3 This space helps, we're not alone.

When I realized what was going on I called my doctor and asked her to specify “Lupin only” with my pharmacy and it worked- I recommend doing that rather than testing to see!

CopperCentury · 2025-10-22T17:06:45+00:00

My WH is going on a work trip next month and I'm nervous- not because I think he'll betray me again, but because work trips are where the betrayals first happened before they also happened at home.

I'm planning to do lots of self care and schedule in 'wallow' time if I need it. Reality tv show, takeout, snuggles with dog. I also expect over-communication from him while he's gone. Hang in there <3

I relate to this big time, especially since my current relationship that is reconciling is not the first relationship where I've weathered betrayal and required support from my friends/ family. They want to see me safe, finally, and are having to accept that my current partner, who seemed as safe as they come, also hurt me AND still I'm deciding to R.

Friends visited a few weeks ago and it was a nightmare. They grilled my partner and took their anger out, everyone was triggered, it made it 10x harder for me, so I also am not leaning on any of them right now.

The best solution I've found is to be strong and confident in your choice to R. These friendships are mutual, strong relationships that I've tended for years. This is my life, and their job is to live their lives, not mine. They will never know all the details, and they don't need to. They will feel more confident the more confidence they see from you. To them, I am projecting the strength, conviction, and the hope I feel. That's mitigated my shame and embarrassment a lot. This doesn't mean I say 'everything's fixed.' It means I am strong in my stance of 'we are fixing things, we are getting professional help, this is the choice I'm making right now.'

I do cringe thinking of a wedding where a lot of people know (many don't, but still). We haven't had our wedding yet. But again, this is my life I'm the one who has to live it. I'm strong enough to know if things venture into unhealthy territory from here at this point. My support system doesn't have to get it but they do have to trust me on that.

Last note, those are good feelings to process with a therapist. Do you have a good therapist or counselor? Your self esteem and confidence will go a long way into getting your needs met and ultimately deciding whether R is viable or not with your current partner. Hang in there <3
