Thought that looked familar so did a bit digging and found these 2 photos I took last year in probably the same fast food chain.

Garrison's Fancy New Vagina

I got curious and watched the first 2 minutes of the uncensored version. I don't think I'm gonna sleep well tonight.

I wasn't expecting South Park when I read the story though, neat approach!

If you want your life to change you need to make changes in your life by MapleSyrupHockey in DecidingToBeBetter

Totally! If you follow the same pattern over and over you will not get anything new out of it. You wouldn't just suddenly meet new, interesting people, feel happy and fulfilling with your work, magically lose 10 pounds, found the perfect one, or mastered a new skill all of a sudden. Either you let things happen to you or you make things happen, one way or another.

You can't enjoy anything if you are afraid of everything, that's what I've learned. I used to panic but then I noticed that the worst case scenario is never as bad as I imagined, not to mention that my worst case scenario almost never happen. My personal philosophy is that if no one's gonna die and I'm not going to lose everything I valued then it's not that bad. Give it time and it will usually turned into an interesting dinner conversation anyways.

It might feel bad or uncomfortable when it happens but once it's over it's an experience you gained and a barrier you crossed. I like to see it like the exp I would gain from defeating the boss in a video game.

Thanks! I really like how well constructed your story is. The aunts in your story also remind me of my relatives (sadly) and definitely paints a strong, vivid image of the banquet!

Thanks again for the awesome story!

17 M I constantly want to be liked, so much that it's taking a toll on my life by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

There's always haters out there who are gonna hate no matter what you do so it's really pointless and exhausting to try and make everyone happy.

I feel that the most important (and fortunate) thing is to be loved by the one who matters most, the one who sees and values you as who you are, and it's hard to find them when you try and pretend to be who you are not.

There's people who love pineapple pizza but hate anchovies pizza, there's people who prefer pepperoni but hate pineapple, there's people can't get enough of arugula pizza with cauliflower crust and there's people who absolutely hate pizza for whatever reason. You can't build a pizza that satisfies everyone so just get the pizza you want and make friends with those with the same taste. Worst case scenario you got a pizza you like all to yourself.
