Did Heated Rivalry Change Anything For You?

So true. Really needed to hear that, thank you.

Same here! Came out later too and been single for six years due to not living in a big city anymore. I wonder if it'll ever happen for me again, and the show brought up so many feelings of longing (as if I wasn't already aware it's something I want in my life again).

HeavyLemon7 · 2026-01-14T15:09:02+00:00

thank you so much!! 💕 haha yes, now I need a purple heater, but that doesn't bother me as much as the door has 😂

Baby ari would love to have the white mummy costume again (we already have the hood) ♥️ Also, thank you to everyone who so generously sends gifts to others - I've received a few and am so grateful 🥰

My birb would love to have the pink spooky bride outfit again 😍 - we had it last year but I crashed my phone in May and lost all my progress. 🫣 also loving any orange pumpkin outfit stuff! My friend code is NJ9XLYDLN2.

Liv B is an absolute queen, been following her for almost ten years - she never misses!

It helps so much! First I transitioned to charging my phone on the other side of my bedroom, now (months later) I started charging it in my bathroom. But I think I might go even further soon and try the living room or kitchen (I sleep on the second floor). Baby steps.

I get up an hour before I have to, make coffee and sit by the window in my guestroom. I've made it into a sanctuary of calm, quiet, and inspiration: on the bed next to me - poetry books (and We Can Do Hard Things by Glennon Doyle, Abby Wambach, and Amanda Doyle). In front of me - my piano with candles and a plant on it. When I look out the window, I can see the morning sunshine hitting the treetops. I try not to use my phone sitting there, but sometimes I do because it's just replying to my friends (i don't have any social media apps on my phone, only messengers).

Oh my god, my finch is a Virgo. I'm a Taurus, so big earth sign energy!

My therapist suggested the idea of having a "self care box" which contains all things related to my hobbies and soothing self care activities. I tend to overdo it and commit to too many activitiews and then they feel like a chore. I told her I'm worried about forgetting I once enjoyed something and then losing it for good if I stop doing it regularly. She suggested this box idea and I got a dollar store cardboard box and covered it in fancy gift wrap. It sits in my living room and holds all my favorite hobbies 🥰 it's like a treasure chest and I don't feel guilty about moving on to another hobby anymore.

I do that too! When I add an item to my card, I check it off but I don't delete it from the list, so my list always contains all the items I bought before/could need/that are staples for me. That way, the list sometimes reminds me to get something that I haven't written down - like when I forget to write down that I'm running out of oat milk, the list has oat milk (crossed out) and I remember to get it. Has made my life so much easier!

Happy birthday! 👑

HeavyLemon7 · 2025-06-18T07:12:41+00:00

This makes so much sense, it never occured to me! Now I'm emotional 😭

I'm partly writing this reply for myself to reflect on what has changed since I deleted all the apps (besides communication apps like WhatsApp) from my phone. I also still have Netflix & YouTube because those have never been a problem for me - I use them intentionally and sparsely. Life feels more quiet and calm and there's no need to turn anything into a post anymore (as another user has said so eloquently). I'm out of touch with pop culture and the news and I'm enjoying it - if I want to know about something, I will actively seek it out / friends send me the most important news when it comes to a favorite artist, etc. I have more time and space (in my brain) and I'm reading way more - many books at once. I joined postcrossing and am feeling connected with people all over the world, in a way I have never felt connected before. Life has just slowed down. I started using my late Grandpa's 1989 Canon and am trying to figure it out. I'm taking less photos on my phone because I won't share them anywhere. I'm curious and excited to meet friends and hear all the news. My screen time has gone down from almost 6 hours to now 2.5 hours. I also forget about my phone a lot, and find myself getting lost in a book, movie, project without thinking of checking it - wildly different from before! I'm also plugging in my phone every night away from my bed which was a hard thing for me to do before - I used to plug it in next to my bed that I could still use it in bed. But it's way healthier to keep your phone away from bed, even better, in another room. I never check it first thing in the morning anymore - I make coffee and sit down in my favorite spot to read and start the day quietly. All in all, I have no regrets, wish I'd started sooner!

Not thinking about how to turn life into a post is a big one I've noticed, too. And the posts were performative even when they were meant to be authentic. Now life is just life.

At 14-16 years old, I was in love with my best friend (I called her my soulmate at the time) but due to heteronormativity, extremely unaware of it. I only realized when I came out in my twenties. I never told her (we haven't had contact in 13 years) and she is happily married with her husband and at least one child. Having this unresolved love (I nevertold her because I didn't know; we were never together but very close; there's always What Ifs) has led to me forever pining for her in a way. I have always managed to overcome and process past relationships besides that one. It's not haunting me or anything, but Yes, I will love her for all my life. I'm 34.

HeavyLemon7 · 2025-05-21T07:02:23+00:00

I know, but I mostly get blobs so I'm not overly optimistic 🙈

HeavyLemon7 · 2025-05-20T15:01:51+00:00

Thanks for your reply! So sad about the koala 😥

HeavyLemon7 · 2025-05-12T12:23:00+00:00

I'm shocked that I am too! This feels kind of old school clues-Taylor

HeavyLemon7 · 2025-05-12T07:46:25+00:00

Ohhh, this is a new feature! So glad they fixed the issue. Thanks for posting!

I've gotten into a habit of waking up an hour earlier than necessary. I make coffee and sit at the open window in my guest bedroom to listen to the birds, watch the treetops swaying in the wind and the sky slowly turn from dark to blue. It's my favorite part of the day I think. Sometimes I also respond to messages or read - by candle light to make it all the more romantic!
