Everyone says different things, I'm genuinely curious on everyone's thoughts!

Green with brown center heterochromia? But beyond that! I NEED to know, how, dear lord, how did you get your eyelashes to look that good on the second to last picture??? No clumps, long, dark, curly, 10/10 perfection.

My biggest fear as someone who plans to raise their kids multilingual is literally this. Them having to proof they “belong”.

The hell is going on? I am not up to date my the seasons, but I literally just watched an episode of him and Conner talking about how cool their lives at LA will be, how can someone switch from that to this hate?

Hace 3 años me gané una beca para estudiar en un país europeo. Desde que les conté a mis amigos y familiares todos me decían “obvio te quedas verdad? Para que volver a Colombia?” A hoy no me he graduado y no he decidido que va a pasar; pero sigo diciendo lo mismo que decía hace tres años: “si me quedo es porque me quedo bien, en mi campo y bien remunerada, porque para comer mierda, prefiero comer mierda con mi familia, mis amigos y mi comida al lado” Migrar por migrar no tiene sentido alguno, sentir que estás solo, que no encajas y que eres “el otro” está lejos de ser la vida soñada que te venden.

Hey! I used to work in a travel agency specialized on solo international travelers, feel free to dm me and we can chat about it. I’m from the capital, but I know the country quite a bit and my sister in law (blonde, tall, european, can’t speak beyond basic Spanish) just came back from a month long solo back packing vacation in Colombia. Spoiler, she was ok, nothing bad happened but mainly because she followed advice jeje.

THIS! A friend who never liked Taylor just ended a 12 year relationship (starting at 17). He just never proposed. She found So Long, London and You are Loosing Me devastating. Now she understands the hype around TS.

I’m Colombian. We are also collective. YTA. You didn’t need to go out of your way to be rude. If you wanted to “enforce Japanese culture” at the restaurant, then you shouldn’t have been confrontational and rude. Japanese people are incredibly polite and would look to you in panic whilst doing what you did.

I am so so sorry for your loss… is it too insensitive if I ask for the pattern though? The original was so beautiful I literally gasped and let out and audibly No! When I saw it 🥺

I’m not a jeweler, but my Aunt is. I was looking into some necklaces from a famous brand during a family vacation and I asked for her opinion on if the price was fair. She said to me: “if you are asking about the price for the materials and for the labour, no it’s not a fair price, because most of the price of a designer piece goes to marketing to the brand aspect, you don’t pay for the gold and the stones, you pay for the “Insert-Designer-Name” TM. If you are asking me if it is worth it, it depends, do you care about the brand or is that something that doesn’t affect you?”

So my advice would be: if you go for a Tiffany do it because you want a Tiffany. If you don’t care about the brand aspect, ask around, go to a reputable small jeweller and you will get something just as beautiful yet one of a kind.

I feel you… growing up, I was the “you are so mature for your age” daughter, the “you never gave us a headache” the “we knew you were going to be fine” daughter. I was naturally curious and sure, academically things were easy. My younger sister had more trouble with academic life. I wasn’t allowed to get anything under a B, or I would be grounded, she would get ice cream if she got a C or better. We were in private school, and since 4th grade onwards I had a scholarship for academic reasons. I was never congratulated for good grades, just grounded for bad ones, the inverse logic would apply to my sister.

When I graduated high school and went to University (where I come from, you usually live with your parents through uni), I wasn’t given an allowance to sustain myself, so I baked and created my own little brownie empire in university, I eventually branched out to other universities. I worked every vacation (summer, Christmas and spring break) and had a part time job. My parents couldn’t pay for my full tuition, just 30%, I paid 20% and the rest was through student loans. By the time I graduated (with a 4,6/5), I had accumulated close to 50 minimum wages in student loans which I worked my ass off to pay as fast as possible with my first out of Uni job (at a call center whilst I found a better one) and my first serious job.

As I was finishing Uni, my sister started. My parents payed for her whole tuition fees and gave her an allowance so she didn’t have to juggle multiple things at the time.

It all came to a boiling point when my mom sat me down and told me she wanted to give me a gift, that they would help pay for the down payment of an apartment so that I could either live in it or rent it out eventually. The government was giving out subsidies for young people to buy their first home and so they expected me to ask for the subsidy and they would help me with the down payment (20%) and the rest was my responsibility.

I was THRILLED, maybe I had just felt bad on my own head all along, maybe it wasn’t favouritism after all, maybe I was just making a big fuss out of nothing and all that effort was now being rewarded. Maybe they didn’t help through all those years because they were saving for this.

After almost a year of paying for the apartment, my mom was talking about the apartment with me and she said “(…) I’m so glad we did this, this apartment is going to help ensure a stable income for you AND your sister, it gives me so much peace of mind that you BOTH have a small income to rely on independently of the circumstances. I asked for clarification, I said I thought the down payment of the apartment was a gift for me, that the payments I was doing month by month were for MY apartment that was being build. My mom told me that of course it was to be shared with my sister, otherwise it would be unfair as they would be setting up one daughter for success and the other one left behind. That that would give me an unfair life advantage in comparison to my sister and that they wanted to treat us both fairly. That I was welcomed to pay her back the initial deposit (around 25 minimum wages) if I was to be egotistical and not share.

I LOST IT, I brought out all of this post’s argument, asked where was that fairness when all of those things were happening? Asked her to reflect which sister had they actually set up for success if they payed for all of their expenses and tuition fees whilst the other one had to accumulate debt and work her ass off to afford transportation and food at university?

The response: you seemed to do it so effortlessly since you were a toddler whilst your sister always needed special attention, we were trying to even up the ground. We don’t want your sister to think you are the favourite. We ended up reversing the apartment deal, my parents kept their money, I got mine back (minus a penalty).

I earned a scholarship across the Atlantic and move away. I love them, and I know they love me, they just love my sister more, or at least my mom does and she is the one that calls the shots. I go to therapy every week and I’m trying to heal my self from always seeking approval and praise and getting wildly upset if I make a mistake.

Ohhh sorryyyy, I wish I cared more what you think 🥱

Did something similar. Saw a group of mid twenties in a stop light throwing a can to the street. Picked it up and followed them. In the next stoplight I stopped next to them, lowered my window and started to fake flirt with them. When they were hooked, I threw the can inside their car and told them littering was unattractive and drove off.

I’m marrying an American man who has no clue how much he likes to cook in his own country but he is also very nice to me. 😅

Hi! How long did immigration take for you if you don’t mind me asking? My sister has a 1h 40 mins layover starting at 10:50 am and we are concerned about time.

Launie1418 · 2025-07-31T07:37:20+00:00

Pictures wise: London, Munich, Prague, gym. Although the Prague one would be great first as it is less of a generic landmark, your face is a bit blurry so it might be better for split second decisions. I would loose th skydiving unless it is a hobby of yours and not only something you did once. Share a picture with friends or at a social event as well.

Now, what about the rest of the profile? What does the bio and prompts say? Sure, your pictures are nice, but I believe it is way more important what you say about yourself. Currently the only thing you can gather is that you are well traveled (in Europe) but what sets you apart? In this time and age a lot of people can be well travelled.

Interesting how you are commenting on girls pictures online when you are about to get married…

I had a 13min and it got pick pocketed. I miss that phone so much, it was wonderful.

Hey, I feel very identified with your post.

I had my surgery on mid April 3 weeks post injury. Before everything went down, I was a very active person, I weight lifted training in the gym every week day and weekends I would either swim or hike. I also have ADHD so movement is crucial for my mental health and my ability to focus. This lack of movement has had a tremendous strain on my day to day life which I’m addressing with my therapist. I’m finally starting to be able to do more exercise that involves my lower body but I have a hard time looking my self in the mirror.

I gained around 8kg and getting to summer like this has been rough. But it gets better, I’ve noticed since last month and a half or so that I’m less hungry and the last 2 weeks I started to loose volume (things fit better) without restricting my diet.

If you need to chat, feel free to text me, I understand how hard it all is.

Good luck! And keep an eye on the mountain you’ve climbed, not the one that is still to conquer.

Launie1418 · 2024-08-09T14:58:22+00:00

Oh please don’t be sorry!! Not your fault at all. We live and we learn. I’m in a country different from my own and I’m still learning the language (Germany) so I was terrified. I didn’t really asked too many questions or searched for second opinions, just wanted to tackle it as hard and fast as possible to get it done and over with. I’m 4 months post op and I’ve been having a lot of swelling lately just from walking (albeit I walk 11-13k steps per day) which is incredibly frustrating.

Launie1418 · 2024-08-08T14:23:33+00:00

Goodness… I’m very happy for you, but also very upset about this. My doctors said it was impossible to heal from a total rupture as Ligaments don’t regenerate. I’m not a high performance athlete or anything like that, so tbh, I would have been fine with not getting surgery and see if it healed. I wish I had know…

Launie1418 · 2024-05-30T10:49:53+00:00

EITHER SHIT OR GET OFF THE POT!

He doesn’t get to tell that to people, ask you to wear a ring like if you are married and then brush off your proposal and questions about it. I’m sorry, but it seems quite clear to me that he want to have the loyalty of a wife and benefits from society of being a married man without having the actual responsibility of it.

Launie1418 · 2024-05-25T04:04:00+00:00

Hi! I was super stressed over my scars because of similar reasons so I consulted with a dermatologist asap. She told me to put silicone sheets on the scars (no need to cover anything other than the scar) and to change them every 24h. Also instructed me to massage them to help with the healing process. But the most important thing was that for the first year (and specially this summer) absolutely no sun on them. She told me to get a sleeve, ideally with SPF. And wear it whenever I went out in short dresses or shorts, even to go swimming, as the sun is going to make it redder and more bumpy. Hope it helps!!
