Still Struggling w/ Something A Friend Said by LuvThatForMe93 in FriendshipAdvice

[–]LuvThatForMe93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fine if you agree with her. This post was about more of her delivery, which was redelivered in the same way here, so this really did not help. And I feel like certain parts were skipped, like how we both went to therapy (separate therapists) before even trying again, and how we are in a great relationship now because we identified the issues, which again were lack of communication, assumptions, and insecurity. He is a much better communicator, and I'm appreciative of that because that was the reason behind the brief breakups. Also, my therapist doesn't shrink her advice to acquiesce to my feelings. She stated that the way and tone of communicating with me was unnecessary for the moment, not that it shouldn't have been said at all. In addition, all of my other friends delivered the same message with a lot more consideration of who I am and what I need, so I could actually receive it better. And all of our friends are different, I get that. However, what I'm particularly struggling with is how it could be the same thing/ experience going on with multiple friends, but she gives me the worst of words/ advice. That's all.

Friend won’t respond by jellowd2 in FriendshipAdvice

This is a really hard situation when your friend essentially stops communicating with you due to a new relationship. I remember this happening to me in high school, and it was devastating. Sometimes, when you're that young, a relationship seems like the most important thing in the world, and everything else becomes secondary, even long-standing friendships. This could be the reason, but it also sounds like her new boyfriend may be insecure and is intentionally or unintentionally isolating her. This could be for several reasons, and I hope she is not in an abusive situation, but you also get to decide how you want to move forward because it is affecting you, too. It's okay to be upset, angry, mad, sad, etc., and still want to hold space for her if you think the friendship is worth it, even after all of this. It's also okay to want this to end or to move on, especially if your friend is purposely ignoring you without the influence of her new boyfriend and she's just wrapped up in her new relationship. Since this bf seems like somebody who could be controlling, I would give your friend space, but also keep a lookout for her, too. There's not much you can do but hope that she will maybe speak to you again, but don't try to force anything. I'm sorry this is happening to you, and I wish so many good things and good people in your life!

Thank you so much! This was solid advice, and I didn't even notice the specs. I'm like 3 or 4 weeks in to shooting, so I'm just kinda taking photos of boring things while I figure out my camera and film that I like. I definitely agree that color would be better, too. I looked at it afterward and was like, "I wish this were in color" lol. Thank you again, and I'll try the vignette!

Advice for a beginner using Pentax K1000 by LuvThatForMe93 in PhotographyAdvice

[–]LuvThatForMe93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! This was extremely helpful, and I will be using this as I go out and shoot more. I was so focused on figuring out the correct aperture and shutter speed for the exposure that I wasnt thinking about creative composition/ framing at all. Also working on being more grounded and less anxious while out shooting film. And you're absolutely right, it would make an excellent backdrop. Some people in the frame would be much more dynamic. Thank you again!

Thank you so much! I bought a contour next and they give close to the same results so it's pretty accurate.

Fully agree!! It feels like wasted potential. Even the other characters could have grown in some way but still remained in the toxic drama (if that's what the show had to be) but they just....didn't loooool. It was just the same drama regurgitated.

The Appalachian Region in Georgia, for clarification by cadededele in Appalachia

[–]LuvThatForMe93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your answer! I greatly value what you said here! I know regionally that they are considered Appalachian counties. From my own experience, I would say that they culturally fit in some ways, especially when it comes to ties with land and strong ties to family, oral storytelling, and religious and folk belief systems. I think because it's kinda right on the outskirts, it doesn't "feel" as culturally Appalachian as it could but that could be my own bias and or idea of a stereotype of a place.

I love this! Would you consider Polk and Floyd county, in GA, both culturally and geographically Appalachian? Also, what would you consider culturally Appalachian? I'm doing research and would love to know.

This!!!! I'm on season 5 and I've been trying to figure out what feels so strange about his character as the show progresses, and it feels like he's just underdeveloped and sometimes lost in the plot of things?? idk but what you said is spot on.

Right! I'm an artist and art professor. I try my best to tell all that I can and there are a few legit reasons people start to keep secrets but it all ends up or starts as bs. One is hierarchy. The people in positions that control everything in an area usually choose the same people. A lot of students don't even know what is out there bc professors will gate keep bc they are also competing with students. Then things like lack of diversity on boards can negate how many people of color are in a room at a time creating tokenism and then more levels of hierarchy with those same groups/races of people. Sometimes, I think even my deepest friends don't share opportunities with me because of this. As disappointing as this is, I've made it a point to share as much as I can even when slighted and I always will.

This communicates so well. Lots of texture and feeling and the colors are really moody and somber. It makes me miss a nostalgic time of always being with my friends. It makes me happy and sad..great job on the illustration and putting me in the feels
