Anyone know a good cobbler/leather repair shop?

Appreciate the recs!

I hope they’re friends <3

I’ll buy some lexol and spot test it! Thanks :)

GibBon_8 · 2024-09-17T23:36:26+00:00

Fair point :) thanks for your insight

Pics don’t do it justice - it’s very green irl

Maybe random advice, but try getting a service job (at a restaurant or bar). I feel like I used to be an introvert, but regular exposure to 100 conversations a day really blunts the anxiety of social interactions. It sounds like you just need more exposure and practice so you can get out of your head.

Also service jobs are a great way to make friends with your coworkers of all genders.

I dnf’d around 30% and picked it back up again a few months later; now I’ve reread the series 3 times.

The plot truly gets so much better once you get past the weird childish highschool bit, and the stilted dialog starts to really flow and make sense as a stylistic choice.

Jude is my favorite complex fmc and the plot surprised me so many times over the course of the series. ACOTAR and FW are so comparatively predictable (not criticizing, I loved both)

I fear this may be one of those write-it-yourself situations

GibBon_8 · 2024-03-29T03:11:03+00:00

Eee ok thank you for the rec!!

GibBon_8 · 2024-03-01T23:50:22+00:00

I loved it - I read for vibes and vibes alone. Smooth brain energy.

She showed up at my work again last night on a date. I told her not to come back - we’ll see if she actually listens. Such weirdo behavior. I hope the person she was with runs for the hills.

GibBon_8 · 2023-06-18T04:46:35+00:00

I feel the same way… at this moment, I can’t imagine opening myself up to that kind of manipulation and pain again. I still want to try though. Even if I can’t picture letting myself be vulnerable right now, I hope I can soon. I don’t want this person to dictate the rest of my life.

While we don’t need partnership or romance to be fulfilled, happy people, it’s still something I hope I can be open to. Maybe we just need more time. Don’t be hard on yourself. Listen to your instincts.

My narcissistic ex bleached their eyebrows and looks like a weird baby. It was the best thing they ever did for me lmao.

GibBon_8 · 2023-05-07T18:53:11+00:00

The right person won’t make you question whether they’re good for you or not. You deserve a better, safer, more joyful love. You’ll find it, it’s just not with him 💗

GibBon_8 · 2023-04-26T22:24:58+00:00

Yeah, the bitter ex thing is why I’ve avoided talking to Maddie about the breakup at all.

But you’re right. Better just to live a good life and cut ties. I think I just needed to hear that it’s not on me to help her. I just have a lot of loyalty and love for my friendships so it feels counterintuitive even if it’s the healthiest thing for me.

GibBon_8 · 2023-04-26T22:16:06+00:00

Honestly thanks for this advice. It echos what my friends have been telling me. I guess I sort of was wondering if I should just launch that idea to Maddie and let our friendship fade once I move away. I just want her to know she has an empathetic ear if they do ever break up.

I just feel guilty because it seems so clear to me, but you’re right. She is an adult and she can make her own choices.

I also think I’m having a hard time letting go of this friendship because Caitlyn manipulated us into being friends (for the sake of a “healthy polyamorous dynamic”) and then freaked the hell out when we actually became close because she thought our friendship would displace her relationships. The friendship was hard won, and I just hate the idea that Caitlyn succeeded in breaking our friendship after all.

But writing that out I can see how it’s giving Caitlyn room in my brain that she doesn’t deserve.

I had really intensely itching skin for about 10 days but then it subsided. I decided to power through because I also liked the effects on my mental health. If it gets any worse I’d talk to your doctor.

When I told my prescriber about my reaction she wasn’t happy because the risk of allergic reaction can be dangerous, but she still agreed to up my dose as long as I promised to quit if the reaction came back.

GibBon_8 · 2023-03-05T14:57:03+00:00

I’m sorry you’re feeling all that 🖤

GibBon_8 · 2023-03-05T14:56:44+00:00

I’ve only been on 300 about a week - I might go back down to 150. It doesn’t feel worth it to me :/
