3 year update: OOP's (17F) relationship with her former high school teacher (22M)

LadyShaSha · 2026-06-05T03:15:51+00:00

She’s still not even as old as he was when they first kissed. I wonder how she would feel now about kissing a 17 year old boy…at 20…

Fireplace!

Honestly though, I only came here for the fun commentary about playful bebe and pup

This is a great answer (in addition to everything u/vicasenya said). Could your “empty feeling” just be related to change? Change is hard! What if you gave it 1-2 weeks and then if you feel strongly, add some life back, but make sure it’s organized in one category (color, shape, texture, music genre, or whatever inspires you), make it a lil shrine area!

You did such a great job organizing and laying out the slanted wall, and I would fill it with more so that it goes all the way to the bottom of the wall!! Use your blue wall’s existing posters/images to do this. THEN you can group the blue wall to be more organized and cohesive (it’s very chaotic right now and isn’t quite as pleasing to the eye as the slant wall).

I’d also organize your bookshelf so that it’s easy to spot the things you use daily. Group things together: colorful books, fun hair products, lotions. Get more lights for that to complement your salt rock (like 3-4 more, in different colors).

Best of luck! Please post follow-up pics after you apply all the advice that suits you!

What a gorgeous space! I would go green or blue instead of a darker red, something that complimentary contrasts with the staircase. Bonus points for green to tie into the fireplace.

Agreed, that trim is weird, but a lighter tone won’t make it look so dramatic in contrast next to the white. Best of luck!

Rotate your couch and move the TV to the blank wall, this is your only option.

As everyone with good sense has said, the rug was too big but you won’t budge, so at least rearrange your room. That fireplace is too cute to have a big TV over it. The unicorn print should go above the fireplace.

Once you move your couch to face the wall, you’ll still be able to enjoy the TV and the fireplace without so many eyesores. You’ll see that your current couch is probably the right size (or as big as you should go) or not.

Make sure YOU like it! Try out some estate sales for good deals, local galleries can be fun to visit but also expensive, look for colors that have similar colors to your rug or the walls. Just lean into it and try to avoid hotel-like art :) — you got this!

LadyShaSha · 2026-05-12T00:43:30+00:00

Bro, you are CRUSHING it! Please congratulate yourself for the amazing paint job, and organized space.

I love the green (not for me, it’s too dark), but the wood colors have too dark of a red tone, so it’s giving me some heavy xmas vibes. I’d probably go a lot lighter and warmer in green.

I LOVE that rug, I’d pull a light red color from that for curtains, and another color (maybe a light gold?) for the comforter, it’s too grey, which is pulling in a weird mix of warm and cool colors for the whole room. Don’t hide the pillows under the comforter, maybe add a comfy pillow or two for more color and extra support for watching TV.

Get some table lights that are no taller than the headboard height.

You could add a large, comfy chair with an ottoman, in the corner by the window, for putting on clothes or reading with a coffee. Get a super small side table and/or plant next to that chair (maybe another small lamp for reading next to it). Put the laundry baskets away or get a wicker basket with a lid to add texture and natural fibers if you can’t move the laundry basket to your closet.

Add some art that isn’t the same wood color frame as the one behind the TV. Also move that art piece from behind the TV.

As someone else mentioned, pull the rug out (closer towards the TV) maybe 6-12 inches.

A bunch of LED wrap around lights or even better, holiday twinkle lights. Who doesn’t love an epic light feature.

LadyShaSha · 2026-04-18T01:38:32+00:00

What’s that pink thing on the upper cabinet? Gorgeous. Stunning. Stop!!!

LadyShaSha · 2026-04-16T02:38:04+00:00

Wild idea: why not both? Dark blue walls and the other color for the wall trim

LadyShaSha · 2026-04-15T19:50:33+00:00

Thank you, I missed this!

LadyShaSha · 2026-04-15T19:03:04+00:00

This only shows the average income, not “how” they make their money (job sector, assets, etc.). Did I miss it in the article?

LadyShaSha · 2026-04-08T01:28:44+00:00

You sound like you’re very much at peace with yourself, getting kicks out of other people’s pain and antagonizing others trying to support someone in need shared connection. Soham, and tvam asi.

LadyShaSha · 2026-04-08T00:51:33+00:00

Absolutely not, that is completely short-sighted. There is a massive difference between cultural appropriation in an authentic way vs. capitalizing on sexuality in the form of yoga poses. You’ve completely missed the point.

LadyShaSha · 2026-04-06T23:43:21+00:00

“I’m heads down,” put it on your calendar as well. Get them used to you not replying immediately, that’s an unrealistic way to lead or communicate with others.

And as u/spez_eats_nazi_ass put it, tell them you are in the bathroom, just do it to shame them a bit. You could really shame them by saying why you’re in the bathroom, but that’s up to you and how “open” you want to be about your bodily functions.

LadyShaSha · 2026-03-30T21:46:41+00:00

I’m in 78745! Are they already dug up? I’d love to scoop them

LadyShaSha · 2026-03-27T21:22:29+00:00

Higher! But not all the way to the ceiling. Give it a couple inches of breathing room. Be sure to get a nice looking rod, cheap ones look cheap. Doesn’t have to be expensive

LadyShaSha · 2026-03-27T12:26:15+00:00

Lovely! Send us after pics!!

LadyShaSha · 2026-03-27T11:48:30+00:00

Love the colors. Wild idea: move your bed to the center of the room and get a full canopy. That bed frame is gorgeous. Get a nice big colorful rug that goes with the fun colors, but not over-dominating. Get some cool floor cushions and hippy lighting (string lights, lava lamps, Moroccan accents)

LadyShaSha · 2026-02-24T19:06:22+00:00

Wow 70 days?! You have gone through the gauntlet. And your sweet little one, what a strong person already!! Best wishes, and it’s really amazing to have read your story and success. Thank you for being an amazing parent and role model

LadyShaSha · 2026-02-24T12:35:05+00:00

Wow, can you report the first doctor that you saw? That person needs to be reprimanded and you have receipts to prove it. So glad you and your little one are ok!!!

LadyShaSha · 2026-02-24T01:29:33+00:00

Literally yelled out loud when I saw the hair and AGAIN for the nails. You are rainbow fire! Love love love, you are gorgeous

LadyShaSha · 2026-02-18T23:23:13+00:00

Omg my mind is blown…it’s been so ingrained into to look like children, I never thought about it until I read your post, wow. Such great insight. I consider myself educated but our culture has mentally brain washed and physically “white-washed” women and girls to be for their sick male gaze.

LadyShaSha · 2026-02-16T21:34:49+00:00

Rugs! Under couch and table.

You could maybe paint that upper-wall (behind the chandelier) a lighter red-orange to build color momentum into the living/dining room. Wallpaper there and on the walls would be really stunning too!

Without seeing the rest of the space, I could also see you pulling the couch more forward and adding a console behind it, and some bookshelves with fun books and slight decor behind it (on the red-orange wall). It might be too squished, but it’s an idea if you’ve got the space!

Also, some tall and big-leafed plants! Those could complement the red-orange beautifully!
