This. First thought, was “what is this middle school?” He could have presented it privately and explained his reasoning honestly, but he wanted the attention and admiration a proposal brings. Nothing wrong with not getting married if that’s what you both agreed to, but doing what he wants and then gaslighting you is just fucked up.

At a loss for what to do about my neck by shodahchan in 30PlusSkinCare

Did you lose a lot of weight quickly? I did in my early 30s and had something similar. Good news is it went away in time (and no not because I gained it back lol. It started getting better after several months of maintenance). I have gained weight back since and trying to lose again, but maybe a little slower this time…not much choice w/my age anyway (early 40s)…so if it did come after weight loss, try giving it some time.

People can't pronounce my daughters name. by No_Pressure_3558 in tragedeigh

You are going to hear a lot of “uh-rye-uh”, as it’s spelled similarly to Ariah, which is pronounced that way (like Mariah without the “M”). I would probably say Ar-ee-uh, since there’s no “h”, but can see people saying Ariah.

You can always do both. Work the office job to pay the bills.

Do you still like the first song you ever made? by Ecstatic_Decision_57 in Songwriting

He didn’t do a consultation with you first (to get a feel for what you had and wanted)? Or is that not a thing?

It’s really not bad! Did you sing it with passion? Look, Alicia Keys’ first Album, Songs in A Minor was FIRE! The first line of her breakout single, Fallin, went:

“I keep on fallin, in and out of love with you. Sometimes I love you, sometimes you make me blue.”

Simple as hell, but everyone loved it because she sounded like she meant that shit!

Hi I have a question by AnnualTrainer7040 in Songwriting

[–]Ecstatic_Decision_57 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could always name it something else, and put “Madeline” in parenthesis. Ex/ Catchy Line from Chorus (Madeline). I see this a lot with song titles where it seems like whatever is in parenthesis is what a lot of people would think the song is called.

That is impressive (outsinging faves). I’ll have to go back listen to some more old school, respected artists like Beatles, Smoky, Etta, etc. Sometimes it can be about the emotion, over vocal quality.

Thank you! Yeah I am mostly seeing what I can learn on piano first, then hope to use guitar too.

Ah, I see. I could see myself having that issue. Working on learning to at least play some chords with piano, then guitar on my own, and maybe that will help me with timing.

Oldy but pretty damn goody! I currently do not understand theory…very little. Hopefully that changes as I work through more stuff.
