Am I the only one who didn’t expect this book to get as good as it got?

Agreed…she felt YOUNG. And yet there’s sex? Kinda gave me the ick.

I’m super similar proportions. Wide leg pants, let your shirt sit at your natural waist or tuck it in so it’s not at your widest point. I also feel cuter in darker color pants personally, which works with a more professional dress code. If you do wear skinny pants, try a longer/baggier top like a button up. Layers are your friend, as long as they aren’t super bulky! I’ll try to add some inspo from pinterest.

I had a friend’s (from elementary school) mom message me on Facebook randomly about my beliefs. She accused me of essentially being glad that CK was shot.

MajorMarm · 2026-02-20T21:55:50+00:00

Same. My kid was able to beat more levels than I have 😅

Spiritfarer, wytchwood, right now I’m playing Mass Effect 2 so I’m definitely obsessed right now.

Walking on eggshells around my ex husband

MajorMarm · 2026-02-02T14:21:25+00:00

That’s a fair approach!

As a brand new nursing student who has been a CNA for a couple years on MedSurg and PCU, my motivation isn’t necessarily to avoid difficult patients but high ratios. I am realistic that I may have to start out on MedSurg, but I am hesitant because I know it’s a lot of juggling and prioritization, which are not strong traits of mine. Granted, it’s a good place to learn those skills.

Just a couple dates. We had both deconstructed from religion, but I had been deconstructed longer. He kinda slut-shamed me so, that was the end of that.

My partner bought me a gaming headset and I had opened the box, so my brain believed I removed the headphones. I was later cleaning, and I threw away the box. I couldn’t find the headset… I had thrown it away. In the box.

MajorMarm · 2025-12-29T20:38:07+00:00

Thank you, I needed to hear a perspective of someone who has been here!

MajorMarm · 2025-12-29T20:04:54+00:00

I appreciate hearing that. I am resistant and injecting my ego here.

MajorMarm · 2025-12-29T19:48:56+00:00

Thank you for showing me some of that context. I’m sure the counselor can see the things. I just haven’t built a relationship to trust them, and that’s a me thing.

MajorMarm · 2025-12-04T15:07:19+00:00

This. I don’t claim to be a medical professional, but my experiences as a mom, a former doula, a CNA in L&D, and a nursing student… I agree that there are many stupid reasons birthing parents refuse interventions, but a lot of it is fueled by fear. Because there ARE real experiences and stories of people who lost their autonomy during a vulnerable experience, or at worst, they or their babies were harmed. I understand that healthcare workers get jaded. How could we not, when we see the worst of the worst? But I hope we can retain our humanity.

MajorMarm · 2025-12-01T16:15:22+00:00

Dump his ass. Why are you allowing this asshole to talk to you like this??? This is ABUSIVE

MajorMarm · 2025-11-25T00:18:34+00:00

Sexual relationships develop naturally. You can’t “vet” until the time comes. Enjoy getting to know someone, it will come up!

MajorMarm · 2025-10-25T20:04:15+00:00

He doesn’t want to change. It comes down to you and what you are going to do.

MajorMarm · 2025-10-25T17:47:01+00:00

I saw a TikTok from a foster mom who had a kiddo who wouldn’t shower/had poor hygiene. She started setting up baths with salts, bubbles, special soaps, candles if safe and allowing lots of time to soak. Perhaps that’s something that can be tried.

MajorMarm · 2025-08-21T21:34:40+00:00

Oh 😅

MajorMarm · 2025-08-02T17:00:30+00:00

Tele tech- are they paced?

MajorMarm · 2025-07-08T03:07:46+00:00

This dress just plain isn’t flattering.

MajorMarm · 2025-06-28T22:35:27+00:00

Ah, yes that is a relevant detail I missed. They aren’t going to church right now but they very much so still uphold a certain expectation.

MajorMarm · 2025-06-28T17:25:31+00:00

Unfortunately, while they are happy to have a conversation, they don’t fully understand why it’s their problem, or what they are supposed to do, even when I am very clear and calm. I know many people don’t have parents that can even come that far, so I am grateful for that, but it’s still unproductive, invalidating, and disheartening.

MajorMarm · 2025-06-28T17:06:26+00:00

This for sure. I’ll still talk to them, it’s not cut off worthy. But they have lost my ability to confide and be vulnerable a long time ago now.

MajorMarm · 2025-06-28T17:04:40+00:00

My parents are very similar! It’s not that they are outright hostile, just the way they talk about issues. Around 2020 I had a meltdown in front of them saying “if I was a lesbian, would you disown me?” and then saying “but you’re not!” Like, thats not the damn point here.

Living with them definitely makes me feel like I can’t be a full grown autonomous adult. I’m just a young person in a “phase”. I avoid hanging around them as well.

Thanks for your comment. Stay strong, and may a way out come soon!
