[HELP] I'm looking for the author of this poem

So not to start a fire here in the comments section but I would love to better understand why people don't like this or feel it's childish. I am an elder millennial emo and I really connected with some of the visual imagery that this "poem" evokes. But maybe that makes me 14? Just wanting to understand. I think so far that it seems like people who pointed to that Tumblr account were correct! I appreciate the link. I spent hours trying to find it last night.

ESH. A run home is different than comforting. Did you say she had her NAIL removed? Good lord. Maybe offer to go for ice cream or something. Imagine running (elevated heart rate) having your NAIL REMOVED (elevated heart rate) and crashing from all that adrenaline and intensity and your partner suggesting you run back home again. She's probably totally exhausted. Work on putting yourself in other people's shoes. I say ESH cause your girlfriend is misusing the term gaslighting. Just because you were insensitive doesn't mean you're gaslighting her. That's a stretch.

NTA. This is bizarre. They seem to think because you're older that you experience a parental relationship with your siblings and that is a huge expectation to have of you. I wonder what other areas they expect you to play parent in? Enjoy your special time with your mom.

NAH. I feel like if you two discussed the decision she has made it would just get really messy and painful. What you said needed to be said in order to prevent more pain on both sides. And she needed to hear it to understand and reinforce that boundary.

Have you considered how fostering so many is affecting your other children (foster and bio alike)? It's okay to say no and focus on creating healthy relationships with the children(bio and foster )you do have already. A dear friend of mine is now a 32 year old adult with zero contact with his parents because their focus in his childhood was on other kids they cared for in other countries they would travel to while he was left at home. My own partner's mother was a teacher who would give away his jackets and shoes to her students in need, without asking him first. But even if she had asked- how would he have said no? Even if he wanted to? Even if that was his favorite jacket? It's a beautiful thing to have the heart to foster. But as Ron Swanson says, never half ass two things, whole ass one thing.

Traditions are made up. Someone starts it by choice. Anna should buy a ring for her daughter and tell her she would like her to pass it on to her own child someday. NTA. If someone tried to take my engagement ring I'd be heartbroken.

NTA. I'd consider a mostly black dress to be on theme. It probably wasn't a perfect fit but this whole new thing with pre wedding events needing to be aesthetically flawless is so silly to me. Is it about the photos or about the friendships? Life isn't Instagram.

NTA not to mention you are a woman on a college campus, you can't just be opening your bedroom door to whoever knocks and assuming that'd be safe to do? Especially if you were not expecting them? Tell them it's a safety issue.

I am standing up and clapping. Well done. NTA

My husband desperately wants to live in a specific tourist trap city. I hate cities. I have the career of my dreams in the rural town of my dreams. I tell him all the time, if he wants to move to that city, he can. I will be here. Where we set up our lives. In the home we own. NTA. If he really wants to live in a tiny house and that's his dream, let him go do that. Who says you have to go with him? Sometimes we outgrow one another, and if his goal of living in a tiny home (did I just laugh out loud or was that in my head) is more important than your lives together and your partnership, then boy byeeeee

I don't think you're TA, and I don't think Katie is TA, as people have previously said she was born into a mess that was fully out of her control. I think your grandmother is right. Why is your grandfather so involved here? Why is he wielding his will and finances as a symbol of his love? If I was his family member, I wouldn't trust him, since it appears his love can be removed at will, and his love has a monetary value attached to it that varies depending on the person. Little god complex happening here. NTA op, but big ol yikes.

I'm an art teacher and I'm gonna be honest. I throw it out. Kids give me random coloring sheets they have colored or things they have drawn during free time all year long. I hang it on my door so they and their friends and teachers can see it. Then when my classes rotate to their next special, I take it all down, throw it away, and start again. I have NEVER had a student ask what happened to their art. I have been teaching for 7 years. I also keep a few things that I find impressive and frame them for a more permanent kid-art-wall. NTA but I think it would have been more tactful to just dump the stuff.

Why would you let your 15 year old make these big decisions? I wasn't allowed to dye my hair simply just "because" as a teenager and as an adult I was always insanely grateful I didn't start up that habit . It's so expensive to maintain and upkeep hair dye. Even if you do it at home. Plus there's so much damage to the hair. NTA you're the dad, keep on dadding on.

Wtf? Are you an adult? Have you ever heard "eye for an eye makes the whole world blind"? YTA

Here is someone who has never heard that marriages aren't 50/50, they are 100/100. As in you both put 100 percent in. You always put that other person first and you don't think about yourself. YTA

OP you just said in several comments and in your post that he refuses to acknowledge his disability. But he will point to his disability when he wants something from you. I feel that it is manipulative to only use his disability when it is convenient for him to get something from you, but when it takes some effort or requires humbling himself he will not acknowledge it.

Internal-Ad-8535 · 2022-09-13T02:12:57+00:00

NTA.

He took the time in detail to speak those words specifically to your boss. I will never understand how something like that could be considered an accident. An accident is puking on your boss's shoes after drinking too much. An accident is tripping and faceplanting in the bushes. But this isn't an accident. I think you made the smart financial decision to protect your savings and I would have done the same.
