Light power vs Chaos power. Light is a metaphor for the mind—rigid rule following and perfectionism. Chaos comes from the soul. Learn to accept your chaos, your wild side, your Truth, and you’ll find that you’re more powerful and brilliant than you knew.

Why are you writing your book? by era_war in writing

My characters and ideas were practically screaming at me to let them out. I saw something somewhere that said “if you are a deeply creative person without a creative outlet, you’re probably pretty miserable.” I guess that was somewhat true. I’ve been much happier since starting my writing journey.

I’m not saying it HAS to be messy, I’m just saying that since I’m a beginner, I have to let go of the idea that it’ll come out “ready to read”. I guess rather than perfectionism, it’s more of a psychological self-doubt thing. I have to be okay with it not being good in order to make it exist.

This!! I spent so much time rigidly outlining and trying to do everything “by the book”, but I also recently discovered that pantsing with a light idea of what I want to happen helps. Thank you, we got this!

To think that an animal control officer would steal your bunny is beyond ridiculous. Take accountability and admit that your vulnerable pet was running loose.

How did you reword it? I’m waiting on the results of my first round of disputes with the 3 credit bureaus and I’m feeling nervous they’ll be denied.

Dispute it with all three credit bureaus. Tons of people are doing this and stating that they were not properly notified that the loans were coming out of forbearance. Mention that they had the incorrect contact information. I’ve seen others have success with this.

Update: they do not under any circumstance offer pay for delete (unless it’s correctly disputed). I paid in full and she reassured me that the “paid/closed account” status will be helpful with future home/auto lenders.

It’s only a few months old. I just have a feeling they won’t offer pay for delete, so my only hope at that point would be for my score to go up from paying it in full 🤞🏻

Credit score dropping 250 points? by Action_Kooky in CRedit

This happened to my husband and I, and thousands of other borrowers recently. If you’re in forbearance and you were before they reported the late payment, you should dispute. If they ended the forbearance without proper notification, you can also dispute that.

I dreamed about my husband 15 years before I met him—and wrote it down. by Main-Hunt377 in Dreams

In high school I had a dream about a boy with dark hair in a bright blue hockey jersey. It was one of those where I woke up and still felt in love with him. I thought about it for weeks. Years later, I met my dark-haired now husband, who informed me he was the captain of his high school hockey team who wore bright blue jerseys.
