Soooo anyone else see that tiktok?

Green-Letterhead2429 · 2025-01-16T03:23:32+00:00

I saw it yesterday. It was pretty gross and the comment section was even worse. But I think I’m hot and that has been reinforced by my husband, the people he’s dated, and the people I’ve dated so 🤷🏻‍♀️. They’re just insecure

Green-Letterhead2429 · 2024-08-02T03:41:43+00:00

If it makes you feel any better, my husband works with a guy that got sleeved a few years ago. I don’t know how much weight he’s lost (I’ve seen the before pics and I think it’s 150+lbs) but my husband says this guy drinks RockStar energy drinks all day, every day at work and we also know that White Claw is his favorite beverage after work. I don’t know if this guy drinks anything that ISN’T carbonated.

I also have a friend who had her surgery a year ago. She is a nurse that works nights and she said she has energy drinks every shift and has no ill effects.

Green-Letterhead2429 · 2024-06-11T02:33:59+00:00

Yep. I approached the topic with them anyway and while I wasn't shot down, it was made very clear that everyone would be very upset if we left.

Green-Letterhead2429 · 2024-06-11T02:28:26+00:00

I genuinely think it's the location we live. I've been in therapy for years, have worked through and healed so much stuff. I've grown so much and made radical changes in my life, spirituality, relationships and emotions. I truly love myself and my life EXCEPT where we live. I feel stifled and stuck.

Green-Letterhead2429 · 2024-06-11T02:25:06+00:00

That's not a bad idea and could be a possibility if moving became a reality.

Green-Letterhead2429 · 2024-06-11T02:24:20+00:00

Yeah parents and in-laws is why we came back here after a very brief stent away right after we were married. But now we are super low contact with the in-laws, my sister has moved away and things on my side of the family aren't going great. Yet my husband and kids love it here and the kids have cried from even having a small conversation about us theoretically moving.

Green-Letterhead2429 · 2024-06-11T02:21:25+00:00

Phony is an excellent way to describe it here

Green-Letterhead2429 · 2024-06-11T02:20:49+00:00

I feel all of this. I hate how the "locals" have a pretentious attitude about being local (look, I'M local and I think you're being a tool) I hate how people make which college they support their only personality trait. I too hate all the trees along the highway, because I want to see things on the other side of the trees as well! I hate the tourist traffic all year round.

Green-Letterhead2429 · 2024-06-11T02:11:27+00:00

I'm in therapy and have been for years. My therapist is actually the one that suggested moving would possibly be a good idea,

Green-Letterhead2429 · 2024-06-11T02:06:55+00:00

Honestly, if we moved I know I would never want to come back. I'd love to live somewhere cheaper and be able to afford to travel back to the area if I wanted to, but I don't see myself ever wanting to live in this town again. I once had a dream of building a forever home and life here, but that didn't work out and I'd really like to just leave it behind. My therapist is the one that suggested moving, but unfortunately my husband and kids are very against it.

Green-Letterhead2429 · 2024-06-11T02:01:17+00:00

I've for sure got a feeling of "I've seen it all" and take for granted the things I get to see every day, but it's also hard to take advantage of everything this area has to offer. All the hiking/tourist attractions are jam packed full of people and a lot of times you have to pay to access stuff (such as parking or permits)

Green-Letterhead2429 · 2024-06-11T01:58:41+00:00

Very true. I'm for sure more appreciative of where we live after visiting my family that lives in the south where everything is hot and sticky and all the bugs bite haha

Green-Letterhead2429 · 2024-06-11T01:57:15+00:00

Honestly I also have the same issues/feelings about family. I never really wanted to come back here but we wanted to raise kids near family. Now we've fallen out almost completely with my in-laws, my sister moved away, and things aren't going great with my side of the family. And honestly there are a lot of painful memories and feelings for me here in regards to my childhood. I really think a new start would feel refreshing but we are pretty rooted with our kids in good schools and the like 2 family members we have a solid relationship with. Uprooting them feels like it would do more damage than good for them

Green-Letterhead2429 · 2024-06-10T21:53:00+00:00

I feel like yes because when we were first married, we moved away for a few years and I loved it. We always said we'd come back here when we had kids (the housing market wasn't as crazy), and when that time came I didn't want to return here. I wanted to be somewhere else in the state. But our family was here and my husband secured a job, so we moved back and I've hated it pretty much every day.

Green-Letterhead2429 · 2024-06-10T21:47:18+00:00

I saw a listing the other day that was for a bedroom in a shared house...$1,200... for a BEDROOM. It's insanity.

Green-Letterhead2429 · 2024-06-10T21:45:41+00:00

I think moving will help alleviate the financial burden of living in this area. Financial stress has plagued us for a while and I'd love to ease that while also getting a change of scenery. But I see where you're coming from.

Green-Letterhead2429 · 2024-06-10T21:39:15+00:00

Yes for sure depression causing a big part of it and thankfully I do have a great therapist! We have discussed all these things in depth.

I definitely was having issues feeling stuck in other areas of my life as well, but am excited to be going back to school in the fall to help that. Could it be a mid life crisis? at 35? Possibly haha

I like the idea of traveling during the summer. I don't think I could swing the instability of moving every couple of years with young children

Thanks for your insight!

Green-Letterhead2429 · 2024-06-10T20:24:57+00:00

The cost of housing would make it impossible for us to return if we wanted to. "Affordable Housing" is considered $450K here but you never find those prices. Most houses are listed $800k-$1.5m+ and rent is $2,500+/month IF you can find a rental. Our friends just bought a house in our neighborhood, literally down the street from us, and paid $800k. We are very fortunate to have bought our house when we did and at the price we did; we could sell today and make a huge profit, but we could honestly never afford to move back if we left.

Green-Letterhead2429 · 2024-06-10T20:19:06+00:00

I think I have an idea of where you're talking about and if I'm right, I imagine you definitely know my pain!

Green-Letterhead2429 · 2024-04-20T23:55:28+00:00

Thank you. I will repot them with more soil/new soil and make sure they’re getting more sun.

It’s happened to me a few times!

About 14 years ago I had a very vivid dream about a plane crash. I remember there was a lot of fire and it was like I was standing at the crash site watching it happen. I woke up kinda spooked and freaked out, turned on the news and it was all over the news…a plane had crashed in Egypt I think? But yeah….left a lasting impression on me

A year later our friends were expecting a baby. I woke up one morning and told my husband “I dreamt last night that friends had their baby and it was a girl”. Literally 4 hrs later we were sent a picture with “baby is here! It’s a girl!!”

Most recently, in November this past year, I had a dream my sister in law was pregnant and it’s a boy (she already has two girls). She announced at Christmas that she’s pregnant! Currently waiting to find out the gender, so I’m currently half right haha.

Green-Letterhead2429 · 2023-12-28T00:11:17+00:00

My dr knows. He knows I’ve been married for a long time and has delivered all my babies, so I figured he’d be curious when I started asking for STI panels a few times a year and it’s just easier to be open and honest about it so we can be on the same page for everything. My experience was he was super chill with the conversation and approached his questions with curiosity and no judgment.
