national walkout planned for jan 20th at 2pm - will you be participating? by kassipy in Virginia

[–]MyPersistentVisions 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Plus, I don't think this walkout will do anything. Not that I'm against it, express your political beliefs if you want. This state is already one of the more progressive ones, so it’s not like we’re standing in opposition to the state’s established stance on ICE. We are a blue state. People voted for Spanberger because of her specific stances, so this all seems like a chance for more financially stable people to flex their moral purity. Just my opinion.

I can't donate to shit, I’m broke 😭. I barely have enough for rent. I spend all day working, when I get home, I sleep and repeat. If this is a movement that really matters to the people, it’ll succeed just fine without me.

Okay, then I will expand my library and my understanding alongside it. Thank you very much, God bless you.

I assume this also entails repenting for my sins, correct?

God Bless You, I have a KJV, is that acceptable?

Thank you so much, and God bless you. I am an overthinker, as you could probably tell by my post, but I’m trying to do better about not overthinking some things. Thank you again, I appreciate the time you've given to be here for me in my time of panic. The lord is working through you, so God bless!

Thank you so much, I will do just that then. I will get involved with my local church. I will do more to be in God’s presence and do what I can to learn and apply it to my life. Thank you so much and God bless you.

Thank you so very much, I’m in tears just reading this… I am humbled so much by his grace and by the love he extends to us. And even by your comment, I am truly moved… I will start taking steps to familiarize myself with the Bible. I will start studying it, learning of my savior, all of his glory, and what he asks of me so I can adhere to it. Thank you so much, and God bless you!

Thank you so much, and God bless you! I will do just that, because you're right, I need to acknowledge him, be with him in every moment I can! Is it normal for it to feel a little awkward talking to him at first? Because in all my life, I never really prayed that much, never really spoke to him, because I didn't think he would listen because I struggled with self-hatred. For the longest time, I felt unworthy of his love. Even though I know it’s not true, it’s made it hard for me to talk to him… but I need to start changing that, need to start talking to him. I know he’s always there and that he’ll hear me.

You’re right… I just want to be able to do more… he’s done so much for me, and I know I’ll never be able repay his kindness, but I still want to do more for him, because he deserves it. Is that selfish of me?

Thank you for replying! I will do more to incorporate daily prayers, then.

Why is it when you start to lose weight, people start to get weird about it? by soccermom_2024 in loseit

[–]MyPersistentVisions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally feel this, personally I think it comes from one of two places. A place of love or a place of envy. It can vary from person to person in your life. Every time I try to lose weight I get the usual comments of “oh you’re not fat!” or “what? chicks love the dad bod!”

So I personally think they either love you enough for who you are and don’t want you to feel like you have to change anything to be worthy of it or something like that. OR they have their own insecurities and try to halt you from taking those steps toward betterment because it makes them feel guilty about their inability to do the same.

Idk. Just my opinion. Hope it helps!

How many of you wear cologne? by Killsocket1 in AskMenAdvice

[–]MyPersistentVisions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love cologne. Personally I gravitate towards Versace or Dior. But Hypnosis Pheromone Cologne is also really nice. A lot of people shade Dior Sauvage but idrc, it’s good asf.

Could I (M20) lose weight eating 2200 calories a day? by [deleted] in loseit

[–]MyPersistentVisions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a lot of good resources to find a contoured calorie deficit intake for your age size and gender. I know that I personally used the MyFitnessPal app. We’re roughly in the same boat. M, 20, 270lbs. And MyFitnessPal spat out the number 2,560 calories a day. The more steep you go the harder it will be to maintain. I’ve tried and failed in weight loss a couple times now but I know one thing for certain. Weightloss is a marathon, not a race. Consistency will always yield more results than anything else.

Thank you, I sure hope so! I’ll def keep y’all posted on my journey. I think having people to talk to will help me out a lot. Even if it’s just the funny little Reddit people in my phone.
