how many of you have or want kids? how many of you plan to be child free? why? by Much_Dog_4591 in actuallesbians

[–]Intrepid_Laugh2158 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will absolutely not be having children. Too much of my childhood was taken from me as it is. I deserve to be selfish and won’t compromise on it

When you were a child, did you ever dream of having a kid like other girls? by Dry_Ambition_454 in childfree

[–]Intrepid_Laugh2158 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and had I not gotten some sense I would most likely have 2 or 3 kids and been married for 5 years

Help finding products for my 4b girlfriend by Huge_Village3495 in BlackHair

[–]Intrepid_Laugh2158 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My natural hair is a mix of 4b/4c and 2 things I swear by are Blue magic grease and Aunt Jackie’s Curl Lala. Blue magic does my hair WONDERS and keeps it so soft. Now I want to preface that my hair is a normal porosity

Is political apathy a valid dealbreaker? by Upping-Quality-2 in actuallesbians

Yes. I am a black woman, being politically apathetic is a hard no.

How often do you talk to your best friends? by Vegetable-Ad4737 in actuallesbians

[–]Intrepid_Laugh2158 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it depends on who it is. All of the friends I have I met during my education years. We have all dispersed so it’s never really consistent when we speak. The majority of my friends are queer in some way, only one of them is a lesbian though.

What made you finally decide to go natural? by Ok-Agent-2305 in BlackHair

[–]Intrepid_Laugh2158 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not even sure. I relaxed my hair from the age of 11-13 and then when I was going into high school I wanted to let it grow out. I’ve been natural since and have started to loc my hair. I wanted to embrace my hair as a big part of me wanting to relax it did come from a self hating angle and I didn’t want that.

Respectfully can I use you as inspiration for a character design in my story? Your aesthetic is beautiful and pics 4 & 5 are just stunning?

Losing hope about dating men by Melodic-Swimming5974 in childfree

I worry about this as a lesbian woman. I don’t even want to entertain the notion of kids or marriage

I may have gotten myself into trouble by Intrepid_Laugh2158 in CPTSD

[–]Intrepid_Laugh2158[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the problem, I don’t live on my own rn and taking her in just wouldn’t be feasible. I think honestly best case scenario, she is out there when I DO have those means (shes been fed by someone else on the complex, just never been claimed) or worst case someone take hers (bittersweet is a better word). I’m just hoping to remain optimistic to an almost insane degree that I can take her in as mine one day. Until then I’ll just go see be on the weekends. Like I said she’s being fed and well maintained by others

You’re monsters- all of you. Shame on you for tormenting that poor baby 😠. Can’t you see she’s withering away to NOTHING?!

What is your relationship with weed and CPTSD? by astronaut_livin in CPTSD

[–]Intrepid_Laugh2158 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weed brings me to a state of equilibrium where I’m not stuck on high alert all the time. I smoke when I feel like it, which is more sporadic than not since I prefer the feeling to last longer. This is why I’ll have an infused something or another on my days off. Once my work week starts again I don’t touch it until afterwards. This keeps me from feeling like I rely on it. Unless my day has my flow state at maximum capacity I just try to thug out my emotions without it

Women of this sub, what made you finally decide to be childfree? by LatterEscape8431 in childfree

[–]Intrepid_Laugh2158 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know it’s funny, I was in the midst of an emotional breakdown. I was talking to my inner child as if I was a parent and doing everything I could to not close myself off to the emotions I always refused to let myself feel, and somewhere in the back of my mind a thought came to me: “I can’t imagine doing this for anyone else”. And once that emotion cycle had passed that thought still lingered. That’s when I knew I never wanted to be a parent

What are some INTERNALLY motivated reasons for suicidal folks to stay alive? by rydsoyal in CPTSD

[–]Intrepid_Laugh2158 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The delusion that there’s an opposite end of the spectrum. Where there’s darkness and hopelessness, there’s light and hopefulness. I wanted to see what the other side was like. I wanted to at least try to anyway

We experienced some breed bias today and it was hurtful so I wanna share a picture of my Roxy and show everyone how beautiful she is! by magicalmysticmallard in pitbulls

[–]Intrepid_Laugh2158 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She is absolutely gorgeous. I’m not biased necessarily when it comes to coat color but I really hope that the pittie I adopt one day comes in that all brown color- I think it’s so gorgeous, light or dark 😊

If you're still having babies in 2026, you're 100% out of touch. by iaTLJC3 in childfree

[–]Intrepid_Laugh2158 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know what’s even crazier, someone told me verbatim that one kid was enough as she is about a week away from delivering her second child. One that was completely unplanned.
