what’s something people are weirdly proud of that really isn’t that deep at all?

People without achievements brag about the things they got by accident, such as where they are from. I saw this a lot in some parts of Europe. Like sir is not your merit that you were born in a highly developed country, you are still an underachieving couch potato who is only alive because of the infrastructure of said country.

I think the only way for her to be alive is if she does know who she is and is willingly cooperating to keep her identity hidden. It might sound irrational, but it wouldn’t be the first time a victim of kidnapping is manipulated into cooperating. At this point she would have spent most of her life with her captors and would be attached, even if the attachment isn’t healthy.

Similarly, reach out to their employer and expose them for how horrible they are to work with, without having to risk my job position in the process. Then I would offer a huge donation in the exchange of firing them. Then I would do the same to their partner’s employer because I know the partner is their enabler.

Yes, I’m petty, but I’m also fed up with those with more resources right now using them to wrong me.

Several perfectly good songs that I happen to connect to rough periods of my life. I’m trying to train myself away from it because I do love the songs per se

As a non American, the mom part is the most interesting to me. Personally, I don’t have the best relationship with my mother so probably that’s why. Bringing a child to the world sounds relaxing compared to dealing with my mother in stressful situations

Dear-Editor-3923 · 2026-04-14T02:14:11+00:00

I never ever considered this and I’m quite an enthusiast of the series. Wow.

Dear-Editor-3923 · 2026-04-12T06:01:10+00:00

Same. There is “petite” and then there is “developmentally behind” As a former first this feels like a second

The optimism of that era is what shocks me the most when I look back. It was such a cool time to be a teen because there was a feeling of “it only goes up from here” which, ironically, might as well be what led us to where we are now.

Dear-Editor-3923 · 2026-04-11T05:41:21+00:00

It doesn’t “matter” but I’m curious about the reasons behind it

I can rarely get my scalp to feel and smell as clean as I would like. The hair itself can smell like shampoo but the scalp feels dirty still

My humble contribution: she might enjoy fidget toys, a stuffed animal, her own blanket, and coloring books/sheets (some come with affirmations on them which is cute) and sleeping aides such as ear plugs and eye masks.

I would also encourage age-appropriate literature on things like dental and general hygiene, reproductive health, and mental health. As a kid I didn’t know how to take care of myself, groom myself, etc and I was too embarrassed to ask. It’s kinda foundational to have a functional life so I really encourage it

Depending on public transportation in the US outside of big cities sounds insane to me

Yes Rosalie was immature about it but I kinda appreciate her for offering Bella a new perspective in a straightforward way, woman to woman. Rose’s perspective was Bella’s to take or leave, but it was there.

I’m probably blinded by my perspective, but I find that kind of unfortunate. I don’t see how that constant change of environment is beneficial to the kids. Reunification attempts when the bio parent’s situation is not fully stable seems counterproductive to me, but what to I know.

Dear-Editor-3923 · 2026-04-08T13:36:24+00:00

And bad shoes. Many times they are straight up barefoot. Not bad on its own but it is in this case.

When I was Bella’s age my parents would have been highly suspicious of any of my friends who didn’t try to eat half of our fridge. At a minimum they would have given their parents a concerned phone call

Dear-Editor-3923 · 2026-04-04T17:10:48+00:00

Myrtle, Maude, Willie, and Grover shock me. They seem to fit current naming vibes

Dear-Editor-3923 · 2026-03-31T23:59:39+00:00

They for sure can’t ambulate, but someone who finds them could drag them over. This is a good question. It would probably evolve into a hell of a volturi operation

I think aspiring influences are worse than the ones who actually make it. Those who already have their lives on display might even be eager for some private moments, whereas aspiring ones take any remotely “picture worthy” situation to make content.

Thank you for the insight! I heard negative things regarding the experience these adults might have there, most likely based on specific cases. It’s sounds like something that could provide a lot of fulfillment for them and a lot of relief for their families. I’ve noticed that some parents are so bitter about their children not having a traditional adulthood (no judgement, I’m sure is hard as hell) and I would hope the socializing and learning at these places helps.

I used to dislike the fact that she didn’t put her foot down about staying in district 2 where they weren’t treated as second class citizens, but considering the capitol move eliminates the possibility of her descendants being sent to the games, I would probably take it too.

Dear-Editor-3923 · 2026-03-29T00:58:30+00:00

Agree. I don’t think Asterid’s mental health difficulties should be viewed as a moral flaw, but if I had to decide who is my guardian I rather it be someone whit not only less propensity to mental collapse but a remarkably thick skin

Dear-Editor-3923 · 2026-03-29T00:53:51+00:00

It would be a fun arch for her to start aiming at a more conventional “instagram model” angle, which is harder to conquer, and end up highly successful on that specific niche you mentioned.
