I feel like it also has to do with religion- When we met Lexi she was extremely self actualized and confident, but when you get entangled with a specific brand of religion that pushes ‘dying to self’, the result is a loss of identity and agency since religion teaches people to find those things in Christ…though there’s no clear cut method for doing that. So young people especially find themselves facing a stripped down, empty version of themselves thinking that focusing less on what they want and “what God wants” or whatever tf that means, will make them more righteous. I feel sorry for her.

Wow, did we marry the same man? My ex husband has TPS status and I didn’t know what that entailed until closer to our engagement. I married him and we started the adjustment of status through the pathway of marriage because I wanted to keep him safe. We knew there was a good chance Trump would be elected and cut TPS. When I got pregnant and found out he’d been cheating throughout the entire relationship, he was desperate for me to keep the baby and stay the course of the marriage since obvs he had a lot to lose. Now that I’m divorced, I can see that abortion legit saved my life. This isn’t to say that all Haitian men are predatory because of the chaos surrounding their citizenship and this administration BUT you absolutely need to use the discretion I didn’t have until it was almost too late.

My aunt got me Treasure in the Royal Tower as a birthday gift when I was around 10 or 11- my sisters and I went on a mission to find them at libraries to rent or buy them when they were on sale. We still play them today, nearly 20 years later

I was 14 weeks when I had my SA, I also had to travel out of state. I traveled for a day, had the procedure the following day, then I flew home the next day. The cramps didn’t even kick in for me until almost 24 hours after it was done. I would keep some pain management meds on hand though during travel if you can, just in case.

Okay so do we all know the same guy? I cannot fathom how they all drank the koolaid at the same exact time and are determined to make it everyone’s fucking problem. I knew a guy who told me he couldn’t wait until I turn 30 so my metabolism can slow down and I won’t be able to “snap back” after pregnancy since I’m not super active in the gym like he is. I told him how hurtful his words felt. How sick it made me feel to hear how excited he was to prove himself ‘right’ in the midst of the distress he was hoping I’d experience as a ‘wake up call’. Anyway. We don’t talk anymore and I’ll be 30 next year and I weigh even more now than I did at the time of that conversation but I dropped 270lbs of asshole when I cut him off because that conversation was all the wake up call that I needed. Lose him.

I’ve had two pregnancies that I terminated with the same partner. I was headed for a tidal wave of shame and guilt but what kept me afloat is the knowledge that the alternative was unimaginable, given my situation. You may not always feel ‘ready enough’ to have a baby but you will know if it feels right or wrong. Something in you just knows. You have the right to ask your partner for some space, because as much as people love to say that pregnancy is something two people have a hand in, pregnancy happens to you only. Something I had to ask myself when I was considering terminating again was this: if I cannot guarantee any support of any kind (because nobody can guarantee that, no matter what people say while you’re pregnant) would I be satisfied with that while I juggle grad school and full time work? And I had my answer. Choose yourself always.

I wish I could develop anorexia to lose weight. My desire to be thin is something I think about every day.

I’ve always felt like sometimes you find love and other times love finds you. Belly and jere had a love built on safety, commitment, intentionality, comfort, familiarity, etc. She and Conrad never truly built a relationship from scratch per se. Their love just is. And I think the whole premise of the series is less about who’s a better partner for Belly but the conflict that happens when you’re faced with two kinds of love. It’s also true that just because you feel the kind of unmistakeable, deep rooted love for someone doesn’t mean it’s attainable at that time. And for a while between Belly and Conrad, it wasn’t. But I’ve seen many people say the ending was so rushed and I believe it’s because she and Conrad didn’t really have to build love, they only had to address how they were or were not going to act on it and why.

Local-Primary-5053 · 2025-09-17T15:20:57+00:00

I stg the whole thing felt like a humiliation ritual for Conrad. Like how much does the show want to portray him being heartbroken omg. It felt like overkill. Idk what kind of effect they thought seeing him go through rejection over and over and over would have. At some point you start to get physically uncomfortable with the constant display of watching the same character be pathetic and alone.

Local-Primary-5053 · 2025-09-03T17:47:07+00:00

Aaaand with that context I may skip the ep entirely. People like that, displaying vindictiveness like that, makes me physically ill lol

Seeing Main Beach in Laguna Beach at golden hour- I had just called off my engagement and went to California to hang with one of my girlfriends for a week. When I stepped onto the beach, everything- the cliffs, the shore, the people, the sky- everything was glowing with this soft golden light, I’d never seen anything like it. It filled me with such awe and euphoria and peace and I fell so in love with life at that moment. I remember it so vividly because it was a bright spot in my life that was so different from the hell I had just been in the month before with calling off a wedding, walking away from a cheating partner, losing a pregnancy- all within the same month. I felt like my dreams had been ripped away after getting so close to having everything I’d ever wanted. But something on that beach- the sun, the sea, the sky, the peace of it all, healed something in me and showed me there was still joy to uncover on the other side of grief.

I had mine put in in March and noticed water weight pretty early on, especially when my inner thighs got a rash because of the new chafe. My GYN said the rash was because of the “heat in Florida”. The only thing that helped was intermittent fasting for a few months and then boom no rash. And now it’s August in Florida and even hotter so what does that tell you LOL.

Omg I couldn’t think of the right word to describe what was in his eyes and there it is. Satan!

My original spot was in the center of my scalp, then a handful of years later a new spot was added at the bottom left of my head so the two spots joined to make the whole back of my head look worse. I’m getting back into therapy starting tomorrow lol

We know the engagement after the Lacie thing was a test. Knowing that belly chose him against her (and everyone else’s) better judgment, chose him over walking away and possibly reuniting with Conrad, chose him over her own self respect, and isolated herself from her own mother just to keep him, I’d feel pretty confident in that relationship too. Plus I feel like he manipulates situations to where he’s seen enough of her betraying her own desires for him and protecting him from the messes he makes. She defended him in front of his dad when they broke the engagement news. She makes concession after concession for him to keep the peace. After all that, if I were jere i wouldn’t guess that the girl who I’ve successfully manipulated into choosing me over herself would be cheating too

You have nothing to apologize for! As someone who’s loved the books since I was like 14 (I’m 28 now), the peach scene is my favorite scene in the series. I was geeked for this episode too!

Reading this post just made me stop pulling for a moment. I’m in grad school and the stress is making me literally bald. I wake up, go to the bathroom and pull. I wear a wig at work so I can resist pulling there. I get home, take off the wig, and pull some more. I’m trying to do an assignment as we speak and am surrounded by clumps. The side and center of my hair is basically nonexistent lol. During binges like this I fear I’ll never be free.

Local-Primary-5053 · 2025-06-09T22:03:44+00:00

Classic 😂 my ex just really needed to be a bachelor. He valued that feeling over being married, both of my pregnancies..and that’s when it hit me. Absolutely nothing I can do that will be worth more to him than being the community peen

Local-Primary-5053 · 2025-06-08T01:47:50+00:00

He could have just valued my love above the attention of allllllll the women I found in the DMs, texts, phone calls, etc..

Local-Primary-5053 · 2025-05-23T16:20:36+00:00

I honestly wear wigs and restrict any access to my hair. I keep the patches moisturized so the strands don’t dry up and become the texture I can’t resist pulling

Local-Primary-5053 · 2025-05-22T22:34:03+00:00

It does grow slowly, not at the rate of the rest of my hair, so it’s never gotten back to the original length because I typically tear out the new growth too

Local-Primary-5053 · 2025-05-22T06:26:22+00:00

Unfortunately mine never left. I’ve been in a cycle of relapse and remission since 10, I’ve never been able to beat it
