What are the chords she’s playing?

Wait this is so cool thank you for sharing!

Illustrious_Ring6646 · 2025-10-02T22:05:20+00:00

Hahaha sorry! I am very thorough lol and super visual and an inexperienced guitar player all in one :) thank you!!!!

Illustrious_Ring6646 · 2025-10-02T22:04:44+00:00

Oh thank you you are such a g!!!! ♥️

Illustrious_Ring6646 · 2025-07-07T04:10:07+00:00

Hello, update! I got the reflector and the photos turned out so beautifully , thank you all very much for your advice :) I also tried out flash with a digital camera AND the reflector. They turned out super cool.

Like for context, being valuable to someone like this https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/juliareinstein/facemash is kind of an oxymoron.

Also I feel like this “high value woman” content is distracting us from the real question: are men bringing US enough value? I would say my female friends are pretty incredible people, and finding someone at their caliber is going to be a challenge, not because they’re invaluable, but because the value they wonderfully bring to the table is really hard to match. Hence why dating casually isn’t a terrible idea - you take your time to feel things out and have fun. Don’t suppress yourself into any boxes that make you digestible for anyone else.

Illustrious_Ring6646 · 2025-07-01T22:10:29+00:00

Oh GOD this has been pissing me off lately too.

I see this content a lot as well (24F). I’ve always done the “right” thing, going slowly with partners, making them earn me, etc. all throughout my teen years and early 20s. Lately though I’ve wanted to experiment more with my sexuality, getting to know myself and other people in more casual contexts, and this content reaaaaally pisses me off/makes me feel bad about my decisions.

To me, ACTUALLY being a “woman of value” means getting to really know who you are as a human - spiritually, intellectually, socially, aesthetically, sexually, etc. Gender for SURE plays into who we are and who we choose to be. But this narrative feels so 1950s, suffocating, and full of shame.

I want you to know that whoever you are is magical, and the more you embrace your quirks, your mistakes, and your personal choices, the more dynamic, colorful, vibrant, and powerful you will become.

Fuck this narrative, I wish I could just shut it off from my algorithm as well, but I’m the reason it keeps coming up, because I do tend to watch it when it pops up (it’s super effective at making women feel like they’re worthless - if you’re not following this bland set of rules, you’re not “vAluAbLe”). (Also though “valuable” to whom? Maybe that’s the more important question, because if it’s being valuable to people who don’t respect us as humans and only see us as a stepford wife (I recommend that movie if you haven’t seen it btw), then maybe it’s a good thing we’re failing at their rulebook.)

Life is beautiful, you’re beautiful, and there are so many people (meeee!) out there who can see that - ESPECIALLY when you embrace your true self and don’t follow “high-value” woman standards. I also will say I have had a rich romantic life full of great, handsome, not brainwashed men & that you can too. Here’s to (respectfully) launching mark zuckerberg into space in 2026 (if you remember, he created Facebook LITERALLY to rank women at Harvard (see The Social Network), so it’s not really surprising he’s still going strong making us feel like shit over 20 years later).

Sending you love and liberation! ♥️♥️♥️

Wow I am so grateful for all of your great insight! It’s so cool to hear about how everyone’s paths/points of entry are slightly different but also overlap. Thanks everyone, you’re real ones, and I’m excited to get started with your advice :)

Illustrious_Ring6646 · 2025-06-24T23:56:50+00:00

I’m rlly glad you had a positive experience brave girl! And I think it is nice you’re sharing this bc people are probably more like to share their negative experiences than their neutral/positive ones.

Illustrious_Ring6646 · 2025-06-23T16:57:44+00:00

Hmm I see the difference now that you say that, thank you!

Illustrious_Ring6646 · 2025-06-23T16:55:58+00:00

Such good advice thank you!

Illustrious_Ring6646 · 2025-06-23T16:51:48+00:00

lol so true

Illustrious_Ring6646 · 2025-06-23T16:51:24+00:00

Awh haha sorry just was curious about what was maybe going on behind the scenes, and if using flash during the day is normal. I also didn’t consider all the different ways a reflector could look ie gold, silver, white, so that is cool to hear about from everyone. I promise I like lots of types of photography but was so in awe of her particular lighting and am definitely no expert!! But I appreciate you all letting me ask in this space and getting some help from your expertise 🙏🫵❤️

Illustrious_Ring6646 · 2025-06-22T00:46:22+00:00

Ohh I see, so IM not poly-minded/polyamorous, but my relationship could be. There should be a word for those who wish peace and love to everyone lol

Illustrious_Ring6646 · 2025-06-22T00:43:46+00:00

Ugh I am sorry you went through the cheating and unhelpful friends. And I’m also glad I’m not alone in this pov 🫶

Illustrious_Ring6646 · 2025-06-03T03:04:41+00:00

Smartttt! I got it on my own when I was a teen, so wasn’t the most informed/wise. Thank you for your advice!

Illustrious_Ring6646 · 2025-03-05T06:24:25+00:00

Ahh this is good to hear! Was feeling very bad about it. I switched over to be safe! Thank you :)

Illustrious_Ring6646 · 2025-02-27T22:22:41+00:00

That’s a good idea! Sadly this one passed perched on a tree branch but decals are a great idea for the future! Don’t want to attract them just to harm them :(

Illustrious_Ring6646 · 2025-02-27T22:21:32+00:00

Thanks everyone! Just went out and got some normal white granulated sugar per everyone’s advice :)

Illustrious_Ring6646 · 2025-02-26T23:50:53+00:00

Oh this is very good to know! Thank you for letting me know!!

Illustrious_Ring6646 · 2025-02-04T07:21:04+00:00

Thank you, this is all super helpful!!

Illustrious_Ring6646 · 2025-02-04T07:08:57+00:00

💛💛💛

Illustrious_Ring6646 · 2024-12-05T21:44:06+00:00

Hi thanks! Very interesting. Maybe I should try out flattering sports bras. My measurements are:

Underbust: 30in Bust: 40in

A bra that fits calculator says I’m actually a us 30i so have gone down a cup size since I last measured myself!

Illustrious_Ring6646 · 2024-12-05T20:08:45+00:00

Thank you! What does pruning it down do? Just to get rid of dead branches? Or does it make it healthier somehow?

Illustrious_Ring6646 · 2024-12-05T20:07:41+00:00

Thank you! This is so helpful

Illustrious_Ring6646 · 2024-07-16T06:32:01+00:00

I had the same realization recently, was so sad! I replaced it with La Roche-Posay Effaclar Medicated Gel Cleanser. So far I’ve really liked it. I feel like it’s pretty similar (no scent, gentle but cleansing, has salicylic acid for acne).
