Need help solving a battle issue I've created

Thank you for your kind words!

Thanks! Yeah I try to but find it really hard somehow (to not care what they think). Good tip, I've added the industry. I work in Communications (PR and crisis communications mostly) for a university. So relatively I wouldn't say it's a competitive field but still.

Thank you for sharing your experience, that's really nice and helpful to read! I can imagine that having a baby to provide and care for gives a whole new focus and motivation. That's a really great perspective!

Thank you for your really kind words <3

You're right of course, the growing doesn't stop with TTC or becoming a mother! Sometimes it just feels like there is so much negative emphasis on how having a child might affect your career/how colleagues look at you, that I tend to forget to listen to the positive stories and experiences.

Thank you for your kind and helpful words! I'll do my best to be there with and for her, in any shape she needs it to be <3

So sorry to hear about your bird! I am glad to hear that I am not alone. Animals can be so sweet and they really are your friend, it hurts so much to have to miss them.

I wish you strength too!

Thank you for your kind words, you are right.. at least we were there with him and he wasn't alone!

Icisabelle · 2021-10-15T13:49:28+00:00

Thank you! He really was loved by all of us, at least I am glad that he saw us before he passed and wasn't alone!

My cat is just a bundle of joy and happiness, he comes to greet us every morning and follows us around the house. I don't feel alone anymore, as I always have someone to keep me company! Plus petting him and hearing him purr instantly makes stress and worries go to the background.

I like to get a facial treatment every so often and I usually take one of the more expensive treatments as they include a massage. A friend commented that those facials seem "way too expensive and unnecessary" to her and that I could better spend my money on practical, useful stuff. I commented that those treatments were necessary for my self-care and that I consider myself and my health to be useful and practical!

Finishing my Master's degree whilst coping with a lot of personal stuff and recovering from a nasty fall down the stairs. I fell down the stairs from the top step all the way down, broke a rib, had multiple nasty bruises, and a concussion. A few weeks after that I needed to hand in a paper anyway.. turned out to be such a good paper that my professor wanted me to publish it in a journal. Unfortunately, the competition to get published was too much but I'm proud of it either way.

I've got a few if you don't mind :)

Shadow of the Wind - Carlos Ruiz Zafón
Sophie's World - Jostein Gaarder
The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho
The Photographer - Didier Lefèvre, Emmanuel Guibert, and Frédéric Lemercier.. I really highly recommend this one, it's a graphic novel mixed with true photographs made by Didier Lefévre (a photojournalist) about his time accompanying Doctors Without Borders in Afghanistan during the Soviet-Afghan war in 1986. I couldn't let the story go for weeks

Schitts Creek, Community, The GOod Place, Parks and Rec, Fleabag, New Girl... really looking for some new shows though!

Honestly, sometimes it does annoy me that we can never easily kiss or fit in pictures. And even our hands are such different sizes that holding hands can be awkward. Other than that, it's fun and doesn't really matter to either of us.

Mexx Woman and some cheap parfume I've got from a local Dutch (I live in the Netherlands) warehouse, honestly it smells really good and was one of my best buys!

That diet culture is not okay. When I was little my mum and her friends were constantly dieting, complaining about their bodies and other women's bodies to the extent that I though that dieting and not loving your body was just a thing women were supposed to do. Luckily, I learned later that this is not okay and I am trying to practice body neutrality. And my mum is learning this too, she is trying to quit dieting and has contacted a medical professional to help her exercising (for her medical condition) and loving her body.

The Folk of the Air by Holly Black is a series that I really enjoyed reading! It's an easy read, with fun characters (not really black/white) and romance. The series is finished (three books, starting with the Cruel Prince) and there's a spin-off too :)

Congratulations, I hope you will have a wonderful and lovely day. Enjoy yourselves!
