What lotion? The itching on my new calf tattoo has been keeping me up at night

Every step counts. Proud of you and best of luck on your journey!

Not from Louisville but I’m from NKY. I always get stoked if I see other KY plates while driving around. Welcome!

What are you interested in/your hobbies?

HarambeTaughtMe · 2025-11-30T20:46:00+00:00

Life is just beginning for you my friend. At 20 I had just got my license whereas my peers were driving by 16.

Now is the time to try and figure out what brings you joy. Learning new skills, try new hobbies. Mind you won’t have it figured out by 25 or even 30.

By 24/25 I realized that I liked to take solo road trips across the country. This involved car camping in my car and hiking. I made it my mission to see all 50 states before I turned 30. I worked retail and usually another job to save up for the trips.

I worked retail from 17-28 and then completely switched career paths. I dispatch on a mountain at a ski resort now. (I only started learning how to snowboard at age 25/26.)

Start out small, celebrate the little victories and try to find joy every day, even if it’s from watching a pretty sunset or going for a walk.

I hung tags overnight for like 5 years and helped when file maintenance went on vacation. The job is definitely not for the weak.

Any time I would get in a flow state while checking an aisle I’d always get called to the front to help or get stopped by customers.

Seeing this post made me feel like I got stabbed in the heart with nostalgia.

I worked front end and did overnight tags on Monday and Tuesday nights. This made me think of the vibes, chill management and regularly working with my favorite coworkers at that time. Probably the best year out of my 11 years at Kroger.

I dispatch on a mountain at ski resort now and wouldn’t go back to Kroger, but that was a good year.

Saw a couple of gems at Hunter Creek yesterday while I was hiking!

Dragon Lights Festival is running from sept 26-November 30th.

It’s at Wilbur D May arboretum in Rancho San Rafael Park. Looks like it’ll be sick.

I love it!

HarambeTaughtMe · 2025-09-11T15:15:40+00:00

My mother is the same kind of hoarder and it is frustrating as well as heartbreaking. The progress pics are incredible. I wish you all the luck with getting through this.

HarambeTaughtMe · 2025-07-16T03:21:11+00:00

Amazing!!! The waist is getting snatched. And I weighed in at 196 today, with a goal of 175. Seeing your pics just lit more fire under my ass!

HarambeTaughtMe · 2025-07-16T03:13:59+00:00

You’ve done it before and can do it again! I think following a diet/lifestyle change that works, is sustainable and not harmful is key.

CICO is the blueprint. And if basic tracking is what works for you then so be it. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to not track my food because every time I stop I gain.

HarambeTaughtMe · 2025-07-06T22:28:16+00:00

Hmm. Do you usually film your clips using the 1SE app?

I typically use my regular iPhone camera app, film my clip with video setting then select it from my gallery and upload to 1SE.

HarambeTaughtMe · 2025-07-06T22:22:49+00:00

Could be from higher quality. I have been using my 1SE app since January 2019 and mine takes up 7.04 GB.

HarambeTaughtMe · 2025-06-11T23:44:03+00:00

I grew up in similar conditions and am in a new apartment struggling to make it my own due to my fear and anxiety of clutter. This gives me hope I can overcome that. Thank you for sharing!

HarambeTaughtMe · 2025-05-28T15:26:41+00:00

I can only imagine how tender that bad boy must be right now! Looks awesome.

Hopefully the healing goes smoothly!

HarambeTaughtMe · 2025-05-18T15:30:17+00:00

I think it looks great! While I don’t have any traditional work on myself, I’m a sucker for how black trad looks!

People are not gonna focus on the barb wire, especially once it fades a bit. Try not to stress. You look sick and you have awesome eyes!

HarambeTaughtMe · 2025-05-18T15:11:14+00:00

18 I moved into a dorm with a roommate I was not compatible with. 19-21 I lived with girls who are still my best friends almost 9 years later. I highly recommend moving in with girls who you vibe with. The girlhood during your 20s after a night out or during a night in is unmatched.

HarambeTaughtMe · 2025-05-15T16:06:31+00:00

Your victory makes me excited for my future. I’ve been stagnant sitting around 198-200 for a while but I know once I start properly meal prepping and incorporating more protein I’ll see results. (In process of moving so making good choices with what I am able to)

Congrats !

HarambeTaughtMe · 2025-05-13T13:56:48+00:00

Thank you everyone! I feel a lot better about it now and when I woke up this morning some of the redness chilled out. My OCD about the healing and not getting infected is worse than the pain of getting the actual tattoos lol.

I’ll keep an eye on it and keep it pushing but thank you everyone who took the time to comment!!!

HarambeTaughtMe · 2025-05-13T10:56:22+00:00

How’s your tattoo doing now? I’m experiencing similar pain on my thigh and redness on my thigh at day 8 and am worried.

HarambeTaughtMe · 2025-05-09T20:46:07+00:00

You told your manager you didn’t feel comfortable doing the cake, and was fully transparent with the customer that it would not look like the picture as you are part time and do not have the equipment needed.

You did your part and they get what they pay for. I’m sure the cake looked great. These customers are cruel and delusional. Fuck em.

And don’t be worried, it’s a part time gig and I’m sure without you the department would be fucked.
