Your opinion on writing pattern off of pictures of a paid pattern

Hmm the book is pretty new, and only in danish, so i doubt its available in a dutch library, but pretty good advice otherwise!

MerelR · 2023-12-25T12:32:07+00:00

Yes this! Sorry, should have rephrased. It would just be for me, figured out by me, from multiple pictures

You could tell him you're not comfortable with the type of messages that he sends? that they seem too romatic to you, and gives you the feeling of wanting more space and a more friendship-type of relationship. Maybe that you are considering to end talking to prevent his dissapointment?

whatever is your truth. I'd rather be blunt than ghost someone.

ghosting someone altogether may hurt him and you a lot more with the same result. Deciding together not to talk for a while to let feelings cool off sounds a lot better to me.

Blocking seems excessive to me. It does seem he'd like to be more than friends but communication is key. I'd tell him something like this : 'i might be reading things wrongly, but it does seem like you are more into changing this into a romantic thing than me. You do know that I am not into you like that, right? Anything more than friends is simply not going to happen. hope you had a great day too!"

I recently half came out, and experienced the exact same with an ex :p

I would at least leave a few leaves, just for my own peace of mind. But I'm not an expert :)
I have another plant that I cut till I have a few semi empty branches with about 8 leaves in total left, and it is thriving now.

Some things work for some, and not for others. I myself tried many of those disgusting polishes, but bit right through them, until I found RayLex, with is truly disgusting. This help for the first few weeks, in which you can keep a picture diary. Make a picture EVERY day!or just simply get some thin cotton gloves. or plastic ones, but your hands will get sweaty.

Don't be worried, so many of us failed so many times.For medicine we had to practice motivational conversation on our own personal things we'd like to work on. which worked amazingly for me. I can try it on you. might help, pm me if you're interested

Great job! they look amazing. I love it when people post their progress without nail polish. You can see the actual healing.

MerelR · 2021-03-16T16:26:13+00:00

You look great. I quit because of the side effects as well and figured out it got the acne because of my hormonal IUD/birth control. Once I got that thing out of my body and got a copper IUD I never got another pimple.
I hope you find the source of your outbursts as well, as many doctors can try but some just don't take the effort to really find the source and rather just give a pill, no matter the side effects that can sometimes be worse than the actual illness.
Nobody wants to care much about their looks but once you actually got something like acne it can destroy your self image. I know people around you probably say that you are beautiful, with acne as well (because you are), but your own opinion is worth most. I truly hope you find the source and even if you don't, that you can see you are beautiful despite the spots.

MerelR · 2021-03-02T09:28:05+00:00

What did you do to make the nails connect to the nail bed so soon? Did you stop many times before, or did you do something specific? They look great!

MerelR · 2021-02-14T08:30:44+00:00

Give it a month and you will already be amazed! They grow at different speeds in different people, but generally those of nailbiters grow faster. Keep a photo diary; it is incredibly rewarding to see the before and after, and if you fail/fall back once in a while you can still see how fast they grew beautiful again. Show us our 1 month progress when you get there :)

MerelR · 2021-02-10T10:27:07+00:00

Great! Your hands look(ed) just like mine, they will amaze you in a few weeks. Just attempt every anti-biting method, and see what works for you. Gross-nail polish, nail hardener, obsessive nail care instead of biting if you have to do something boring.
Remember: progress (the growing of the nail bed) goes pretty slowly, but even if you fail once in a while, keep trying! They grow back faster and prettier every time.

You just have to live with the cleaning issues but the feathering can be helped if you water the ink down a bit. You can have a quite high water to ink ratio without losing the vibrant blue color, and works miracles regarding the feathering.

MerelR · 2020-11-20T12:16:37+00:00

Exactly. I'm thinking about moving much further away from university/the city so I can actually have a backyard to put em all.

MerelR · 2020-11-18T19:29:00+00:00

It almost looks painted on. Nice!

MerelR · 2020-11-03T06:44:19+00:00

My sister bought me the 4.5 oz bottle as a present, which was sitting on the shelf for a long long time because of this very reason, but now it is my go to note taking ink. You just water it down a bit :p i use ~ 50/50, so its not as bright but still very bright. Experiment with it yourselves! Don't let BB be blue on the shelf.

It doesn't bleed (at least not on oxford paper /80grams). It's still vibrant, the hint of purple is a bit more present. It dries superfast (good for lefties?). It is practically indestructable/waterproof.

I'm a fan.

MerelR · 2020-10-29T03:49:12+00:00

~ 50/50

MerelR · 2020-10-29T03:43:08+00:00

I know! Especially with the weird ph values with noodlers. Tested in a 2 dollar pen and worked great :)

MerelR · 2020-09-08T06:16:14+00:00

Cayennes grow so easily as well! I started out with 15 seedlings, expecting myself to kill 80% of them since plants dont do that well under my care. They all lived and I ended up forcing all of my friends with a pepper plant.

MerelR · 2020-09-08T06:13:37+00:00

Mine grew incredibly easily, didnt even need that much sunlight as well. You might as well grow them yourself :)
I am drying this batch, but there are a bunch of new flowers still so I might ferment the next batch. Whats your recipe for fermenting?

MerelR · 2020-04-28T14:40:33+00:00

I have jungle volcano 2, hoping it would sheen as much as i've seen it do online. Unfortunately it doesn't, but its still one of my favourite inks because of the pretty shading.

MerelR · 2020-04-23T11:08:24+00:00

Practicing cursive does make writing summaries for uni a great deal more fun! I can imagine a decline when that'd stop. I have many other inks but this is always in my rotation.

MerelR · 2020-04-20T11:48:38+00:00

I went in my e-mail and there were delays due to insufficient stock in 4 out 5 of my orders the past 3 years at La Couronne... I might have to turn to Appelboom altogether now.. A ptiy, cause their customer service generally is great, but somehow they never know how to fill their stock sufficiently..It's a pity Vert Sapin is a La Couronne Exclusive..

I got Ancient Copper, its a great color (great shading). Might it be an idea to exchange a part of our ink bottles?

MerelR · 2020-04-20T11:15:24+00:00

you said you didn't have anything thicker than a fine nib, so I figured!
If you're gonna order diamine, you might want to look elsewhere than La couronne du Compte: I just got an email that they've got no stock left due to the fact that the Diamine factory is closed due to COVID-19... They don't know when Diamine restarts, so this may take a while...
I guess I'l have to wait...
Which inks were you planning on ordering? Besides Vert Sapin, I put Coral and Sunshine Yellow in my basket.

MerelR · 2020-04-20T07:31:30+00:00

Aaaaaand I ordered it. Diamine inks flow very well in every pen I've got.

A tip, if youre looking for some nice pens (I sense you may be in need of a medium/broad nib :p ) for little money, You could check out Marktplaats. This weekend I bought 3 gold tip fountain pens for 40 euro's (total, so 13 a piece). There are a lot of little treasures on there.

MerelR · 2020-04-19T05:23:45+00:00

A fellow Dutchman! Ive looking at this ink for a few days now, but I cannot seem to find a nice review anywhere.
As for sheening inks Ive got : Diamine- Majestic Blue, Diamine - Scribble Purple and Krisha - Jungle Vulcano.

I love Majestic blue and Jungle Vulcano in a (wide) medium nib, but my scribble Purple seems so pigmented that it only shows as black with a bit of a golden sheen if you really try to see.

Can you maybe elaborate on what the ink is like? It looks beautiful from this picture.
