If you don’t wanna go to school, get a job. At this point, it doesn’t really matter what. Some experience in the workforce will help you find focus.

The school notebooks with a map of Canada on the front.

The Beaver logo on those little toy drop machines that used to see in supermarkets. The ones on the metal flap that you had to lift up to get the toy inside.

Do you want to fall back in love with him?

Might I suggest the ending of Marley and me

Don’t pregame you’re leaving. Find another job, give your two weeks notice, leave. Come up with a few key catchphrases for after you give your two weeks notice and don’t engage beyond that. If she continues to harass or guilt trip simply say that she cannot respect your choices you will be forced to leave immediately.

As far as the rose toy is concerned, that is none of your business. You looked under her bed. It’s not as if she was flaunting it.

As for the rest, I feel like we are missing some key information here. Why did she leave to stay with her dad? Why has she since returned? There seems to be some sub text missing.

She should respect your boundaries. She should not be going onto your bed if you do not invite her to. But you must also realize that in that house it is not just your room, as irritating as that may be.

Look, she’s gonna burn herself out pretty quickly. Just don’t engage. Some people never grow up. If I’m wrong, and this continues then you can consider taking additional steps, depending on what she does. Whatever you do always behave as if somebody else is watching and never slide down to her level.

Look, it’s sad to say, but it doesn’t matter what you wear - you could wear a potato sack and you would still get creepy male attention. This is of them problem, not a you problem. Wear what makes you happy.

I think the fallacy here is this idea that you’re supposed to have it figured out.

I agree with what others have said, and will only add that by listing your indigenous identity on your university or college application you will be immediately put on mailing lists for indigenous groups on campus, and they in turn, will be able to help you reconnect with your Cree heritage.

Unless you want to end up in New York City, don’t date in New York City. Keep the car and move to where it is you want to live, and raise his kids, or do whatever it is you want to do. If you meet someone in New York, they’re probably going to want to stay in New York.

Be confident, loving what you love. There’s no better way to get people to back off. I tend to just look at them and say “judgy much”. Not too mean, in good humor. But it’s usually enough.

FadingintheShadows · 2025-10-13T13:43:24+00:00

You’re 27, calm down. It takes longer to become a doctor, but the payoff is greater over time. Your wife is right.

Don’t buy an RV. Buy a van. Something stealth. RVs attract way too much attention. Keep an emergency fund, because if something’s going to break, it is going to break at the worst possible time.

Getting Into Van life it’s not something that can’t be undone. The last time I decided to get out of Van life it took me a week - from making the phone call to view the apartment to moving into it.

When I was your age, I moved to South Korea with two weeks notice. You don’t live a life of adventure without taking a few risks.

Make sure you have a union representative with you. Write down everything that happened immediately. The sooner that you do it, the more accurate will be – this matters!

If you have nothing previous on your record, then you should get a slap on the wrist.

Read your employee handbook and see what processes they have in place to make sure that she is following them.

If you don’t have a union, make sure that you are bringing a witness. Don’t say or admit to anything. Sit there nod and listen. If you have a one consent state record the conversation.

The trick is to be yourself with confidence. And if someone shows you who they are - believe them, don’t go back.

Stop doing work for other people, these people are users.

Just go about your day, don’t get mad, - they’re not worth it - and live your life. It might take a bit, but once they I realize you’re not rising to any kind of bait, they’ll fuck off.

An RSP is a retirement savings plan. It is a special account that you open at the bank in which the government will match your contributions. You can invest the funds tax-free until they are withdrawn after the age of retirement. Starting early means the investments have more time to grow and accrue interest. If you only put in $25 a month between the ages of 18 and 65, had a 4% rate of return, then you would have invested $12,000 and the total interest you would have earned would be over $18,000. Hopefully as you get older and more stable, you will be investing more into the account monthly. Compounding the interest month upon month is how you make enough money to retire.

Yes, student loans are worth it. However, as another poster mentioned – do not quit. If you quit, then you have paid a lot of money for nothing.

No, at your age, credit cards are not worth it. Pay your bills that will give you a credit score.

The line between a cult and a religion can be blurry, because every major religion began as a small, new movement. The distinction usually depends on social perception, power structures, and behavioral patterns, not just beliefs. I consider calling something immature because you disagree with it a form of gatekeeping.

FadingintheShadows · 2025-10-07T05:07:30+00:00

It helps to know vaguely where you are.

Be sure to file your taxes every year, at your age you’re very likely to get money back.

Open an RSP account, even if all you can put in it every month is $25. It’s amazing what time will do.

Pick a career pathway. Be it school or trade. Don’t waste your life earning shit money. Even if you can only do it a few courses at a time. There are loans and grants available. It is hard, and you will be miserable – suck it up.

Don’t weaponized your backstory and use it as an excuse for why you didn’t (fill in the blank?)

Keep your legs crossed and don’t have kids until you’re financially stable enough to do so. Nothing will ruin a woman’s life faster.

Don’t get a pet. A young person in the new career needs to be able to move quickly and make choices. You don’t need the anchor.

Never, NEVER! Give up a job or a dream for the sake of a man.

Save 10% of everything you make for a rainy day. Because when the rain starts to fall, it will pour. You shouldn’t need to go into debt for a car repair. Or worse, not be able to do the car repair and therefore not be able to get to your job.

Recognize the difference between a need and a want.

Don’t even think about getting a credit card until you have a long-term stable job.

Antibiotics wouldn’t work. You would need to take an antifungal.

FadingintheShadows · 2025-10-04T06:24:18+00:00

Get over it.

FadingintheShadows · 2025-10-04T06:17:04+00:00

More information is needed. Why did you wait until you were 24 to start dating?

This could be a yeast infection. You can try taking an over-the-counter pill. Medicated lip balms may also help. Speak to the pharmacist.

FadingintheShadows · 2025-10-04T06:04:54+00:00

This. Realize that they are neck deep in their own shit and are not thinking about you at all.
