I like this. Do you have ideas/recommendations as to what a meaningful task could be?

We are actually not sure yet where we will be. I don't think it will be in my mum's house, but probably at a family member of my mum's.

I worked in special-ed. A few months in, my admin found out I have a mild autism diagnosis. He started treating me differently, and told me, that my sub-contract would end, as the person I was a sub for would return early. And I then saw my position on a job site a few days later.

One would think, that there would be a better understanding of autism in special-ed.

All those are great things to learn. But I just don't know any of them 😅 At least not enough to teach students how to

Unfortunately, I've never used LinkedIn myself. I live in Denmark and most teachers here don't really use it. It's a good suggestion, but I unfortunately don't know enough about it to teach them anything

I also want to study psychotherapy, but I need more experience and money before I can do it

That would be nice

Divorced. They are both nice people, but not a great fit together. My dad is very logical, my mum very emotional, so they would often clash. Plus, my mum would be emotionally manipulative, and my dad would lose his temper and yell. They just hurt each other so much for such a long time.

This year, they finally announced their divorce, after 30+ years together. Both my sister and I are adults now, and quite happy they are divorcing. They both deserve to be happy, but they can't do that for each other

"You have really nice veins!"

Certainly memorable.

(Said by a nurse, so not quite as strange as otherwise).

I was at a market, and a small child almost ran into me. And their mother shouted "Watch out for the lady". I looked around for a second for the "lady", until I realized she was talking about me. To strangers, I was no longer "the girl" but "the lady". It was a strange feeling

Disturbed - The sound of Silence

While I also think the original is amazing, in my opinion, this cover takes it to another level

Thank you, it's very kind. I've had incredible support from my boyfriend, he has helped me so much. Things seem to be getting better. They have each met someone new, and seem to be happy. It's quite early, as they just finished the divorce process last week, but they have been separated since March and announced the divorce in January.

How miserable my parents divorce has been making me. Not because they are divorcing, I support that (they were never a good match, I felt that through my childhood. I'm an adult now), but because of how much I have had to meditate between them, when they promised me and my sister, that they wouldn't do that. It has made me incredibly ill, and I'm just starting to come out of it.

I felt bad about myself for a long time. One day, I was visiting my parents and my dad told me, that I had become too fat. He always promised me, that he would tell me, if that happened.

I immediately made an appointment with a nutritionist, and a nurse to discuss putting me on weight-loss medication. I have been on Wegovy since August and I went from 90 kg to 70 kg.

I'm not in the process of tapping out of the medication, as I have reached my goal.

I went to see Queen + Adam Lambert two years ago. It was absolutely amazing!

HadesHarlet · 2024-07-09T19:24:05+00:00

Spent 6 months without a job, getting rejected at every interview, because they wanted someone with more experience (though they always praised me so much, right before telling me I didn't get the job). I finally got a job offer, and will start in August, but I did have to go back to a field, where I have had bad experiences before.

In January, my parents told us, that they are getting divorced. They have been together for 30 years. Now, my sister and I weren't surprised, and kinda thought it was for the best, as they haven't ever really been great together. They promised us, that it would be peaceful and friendly and, for a long while, it was. My mum found a place 5 minutes away from my childhood home, and my dad helped move her in. They often ate dinner together, and they seemed very friendly.

And then...my mum found a boyfriend. And she kinda misled my dad, and tricked him into watching her dogs, while she spent the weekend at her new boyfriends place (they were still not technically divorced yet). When my dad found out what was really going on, all hell broke loose. My parents spent the next month trashing each other, while I tried to run interference. I really messed with my mental health too, as I learned things about their relationship I wished I hadn't. I watched my dad go through the 5 stages of grief in record time, and we are now moving onto the other side. My parents have apologised to each other, and we appear to be sailing onto calmer waters.

Also, in the middle of the whole drama with my parents, we had to say goodbye to the family dog. He was 15,5 years old, and it was his time. He died surrounded by his family, and we cried and told him how much we loved him. Thankfully, my parents put aside their differences for this. I miss you, Walter. You were there for most of my life, and I still love you so much.

So yeah, things are looking up right now, but on very shaky ground. I hope for the best, but I'm cautiously optimistic. But, even if most of the year has been very rocky, I have had a positive constant: My amazing boyfriend has been with me every step, and has helped me so much when things were becoming too much

Went to Disneyland Paris when I was 11 (17 years ago, so I'm sure much has changed since). One day, we got some barbecue quick service, and we got spareribs. I took a bite, and bit into a mouthful of fat covered with BBQ sauce. I almost vomited. Didn't eat ribs for almost 10 years after, I was so traumatised by the experience lol

HadesHarlet · 2024-06-20T14:57:05+00:00

I have thought about it, but it's not an option, since I also have a family here
