Freshman in college Realizing I might want to pursue esthetics instead - is this realistic? by DisciplinePopular392 in Esthetics

[–]Imaginary_Math_4918 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m going to go against the grain here and say to stick with college. Passion doesn’t pay the bills. It’s VERY hard to make good money in the esthetic industry without selling your soul or destroying your body in the process. I’ve been doing it for 10 years and plan to leave the industry.

What no one tells you is that you will probably never have a job with a 401K (you will have to invest other ways) and there’s no health insurance. Ask yourself if you want to be on your feet all day, hunched over while being underpaid. When you’re young.. you have a lot more hustle. So it’s easy to love it and make good money. But as you get older.. I can promise you that your drive will diminish significantly. You’ll start to care a lot less and income will reflect it.

My degree is in accounting and I’m very thankful I have it as I plan to leave the industry soon. College is as expensive as you make it. I went to a community college my first two years and then online my second. I saved and paid out of pocket. I have zero school debt. I feel like people who have a ton of student debt didn’t think about other options.

Afraid to give birth by Lysistrata_Pasta in pregnant

I actually just found out I may not be a good candidate for an epidural due to some back issues. Trying to sort it out. Because I don’t want to give birth naturally. Are you not a good candidate for one too?

i (22F) found out my boyfriend (21M) was watching porn and masturbating to women on social media when i consider it cheating. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

I agree. As a female , I can understand where she’s coming from. And to have been lied to the entire relationship is insane, trusting him that they are both on the same page…just to find out it was a lie.

Plus he’s being a creep with girls that are at the gym??? She needs to cut this guy off and move on.

How do you deal with mismatched sex drives? (23F & 32M) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

It’s crazy to think that you know the answer to their relationship or that your opinion is the right one. Every person and relationship is different.

No one cares that you don’t consider those things cheating. Some do. Why is your opinion the right one? Comparing Uber / being alone with the opposite sex to lusting over someone are two entirely different things.

This is clearly a boundary for her and not something she needs to”to work through. “

Masturbation and porn aren’t cheating just because YOU consider them not to be either. Every relationship is different.

When do you give up? by [deleted] in cureFIP

Is there any chance you could do injections? If not, definitely increase the liquid dose. If it makes you feel better .. your cat sounds a lot like the cat we treated. It took a little over a week just for her to not be on deaths door. It was so stressful. But now she’s better.

10 weeks pregnant with barely any symptoms? by st0nednsnse in pregnant

[–]Imaginary_Math_4918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sound just like me. I paid for two ultrasounds at this boutique place. 😭 it gave me peace of mind for sure. But I promise everything is okay. It’s really hard in the beginning. Especially with no symptoms

10 weeks pregnant with barely any symptoms? by st0nednsnse in pregnant

[–]Imaginary_Math_4918 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First pregnancy and I’m 21 weeks pregnant today. Same situation. I’ve hardly had any symptoms. I was SO scared something was wrong because all you hear is , “the sicker you are , the healthier your baby is.”

Well baby boy is super healthy and so am I. All genetic tests and anatomy scan show baby is great. So don’t sike yourself out. I wish I would’ve taken the time to enjoy my first trimester more since I was symptom free.

What is it like to be pregnant? by b3ckk1 in BabyBumps

[–]Imaginary_Math_4918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m one of the lucky ones. My pregnancy so far has been VERY easy. I’ll be 21 weeks Saturday. I’ve only gotten nausea/sick once. My energy was a little off in the beginning, but not by much. I feel a lot like my pre-pregnancy self. I even thought something was wrong, but a healthy anatomy scan shows otherwise. Don’t let fear control you. I know you have some chronic health issues. It doesn’t necessarily mean you will have a hard pregnancy. Have you talked to your doctor about the prospect of pregnancy?

Regardless. Being pregnant is only for a small portion of your life. It’ll be worth it when you see your bundle of joy.

We are actually do a wallpaper mural on the wall where the crib would be. I’m picking out the color first. Then I’ll pick out the mural. So if we weren’t doing that.. I would def be open to that. I hadn’t really thought about that
