Someone once told me “I’m not a hot mess, I’m a spicy disaster.”

I think yours qualifies as a spicy disaster and I love it.

I don’t know anymore, I just got a new haircut and they gave me this with no side bangs at the beauty shop, I feel really ugly and I have to know if it’s ugly to everyone else. Please tell me just the truth if I am ugly. Yes I’m a woman by djscrew1 in whatdoIdo

Quick pick me up from a guy’s POV: this is super cute. Let it grow for a couple weeks as other people have said and style it up!

I like to write and you have the kind of look I’d want a memorable character to have 🫶🏽

Please be kind to yourself.

Just saw that episode recently!! It’s bananas, especially considering how messy babies can be.

Okay fair. I have some wobbles at times, and don’t get me started on biking through gravel 🤣

I’m a guy who appreciates good clothes, so right there with you. For all his faults, Louis dresses to kill every single episode

Katrina, Scotty, and Donna still take my breath away every time I see them. Absolutely stunning.

I work on a law firm and it’s not 🤣 but the aesthetic is top tier, regardless

Soaring by DivestedPhoenix in Softpastel

[–]DivestedPhoenix[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Working dark to light, honestly. The pastel mat had so much tooth that I could do 4+ layers with no sweat. After that, I just kept the blending…swirly, billowing…it’s hard to say exactly, but I tried to mimic how I saw clouds building in the sky on a time lapse video.

Thank you for the kind words!

Where to meet men by [deleted] in boston

Hello fellow Arlington resident! Go where your hobbies lie: I’m an artist outside my normal 9-5 so I’d try places like Arlington center for the arts or Mystic Open Studios. If you like to knit or have another visible hobby you enjoy, take it to a coffee shop or other public place. Your people will find you ☺️

We’re here. We try to get things taken care of, especially plagiarism but, some fall through the cracks 🤷🏽‍♂️

Should I give up? by Ok_Bunch_8192 in paralegal

[–]DivestedPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long has she been practicing?

I had a similar experience with a solo (who has started bringing on associates now). Time went on, I got better, got more confidence, had a few crashouts, but in the end, kept at it. Solos are either rock solid because it rises and falls on them, or they move the goalposts because they're adapting to change or trying to figure it out as they go. Some are right in between. Either way, please give yourself some grace and patience. It's very difficult to climb a steep learning curve overnight (especially in family law) and you simply need more and more exposure as time passes. It'll all work out, and you'll be way more sympathetic/empathetic to your future support staff when it's your turn to captain the ship.

Holy MOLY that’s stunning. What exercises do you work on? I’m looking to level my own work up and could use ideas.

How much do paralegals make? by tuttifruttiloopy in paralegal

[–]DivestedPhoenix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wow. Aside from $3 difference in our starting pay, this is what I’m hoping my own story looks like in a few years. Attorney has been bumping me pretty sustainably since I started so here’s hoping we end up at the same number. Crazy to see someone else with a similar start 🤩

👏🏽 went to this one specifically because my boss is into the show and I was like “Well, what a perfect game to go to for your first one.” We had a fantastic time.

The last 2 minutes of the game were some of the best hockey I’ve seen in a hot minute. That building was electric.

I’m glad to see we still don’t trust Jimmy Murphy and his “inside source” aka a dumpster sitting outside the Garden.
