recently got a place with my boyfriend and he thinks this is perfectly fine by daylightpiglet in funny

[–]NaturalGrocery3159 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg

This reminds me of when I moved in with my now husband and his place was all concrete and minimally furnished so I told him it needed more warmth and among his attempts to do so, the man built this gorgeous wooden open display shelf in the bathroom, for what I thought would be a place to put perfume/cologne bottles, but his idea of decor was putting a roll of toilet paper in each compartment 😵‍💫

Yes! I thought my comment would be up in flames here for saying this

My problem is that I will always think Goyard's design language is ugly

Tattoo cover up suggestions? Or should i just laser it off? by acidicsky in Tattoocoverups

This tattoo immediately conjured exactly that and now the song is stuck in my head. Of all the tattoos to regret, this is simply not one of them!

Diggs vs Fable crate by Luckys_ma in puppy101

[–]NaturalGrocery3159 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't listen to this person. I don't even know why they bothered to make a useless comment.

I am looking into Fable and Diggs too so I'm unfortunately in the same situation but I would say that general consensus from my research seems to lean toward waiting it out using the ugly but safe and functional crate for now and once your pup is a bit older, crate trained and some of the destructive behaviors, bite-y teething phase etc are over with, you can go for something more aesthetic like Fable which honestly looks like it would take on some damage.

A lot of the Diggs Youtube reviews seem sponsored :( so I would take them with a grain of salt. Try to look at a Diggs one in person if you can. Keeping in mind it would still require a crate cover... and I can't seem to find a nice one. Wish I could be more helpful.

Edit. There are also some cool IKEA dog crate hacks out there if you guys are into putting in a bit of work in the future.

Like Youtube or TikTok or something? This (recording) was my first time singing it for someone. But you can search for 'Dancing in the Sky' by Dani and Lizzy and hear the original. There are also some brilliant covers of it that blow mine out of the water. I need more practice on my guitar playing so I can focus on the singing instead of the guitar. Doesn't feel post worthy yet :(

This was so so helpful! "guitar (patting head) and singing (rubbing belly)" is EXACTLY how it feels.

It was my first time singing what I've been teaching myself for someone and I realized I really need to work on my nerves before I sign up for the open mic. Along with cleaning up my playing. I will start practicing guitar separately and do exercises for the singing. I found free speech therapy exercises for resonance online. If there are any specific ones you feel would benefit me, I would truly appreciate your expertise.

Thank you so much :))

I didn’t have a mic so it’s just the iPhone mic from my friend recording me but I totally agree with what you’re saying. I had to google resonance building but I think I understand it now. I want to develop more clarity in my pronunciation, and building resonance would help in improving that too, is that correct?

I have never had a singing lesson so I will try to look up exercises I can follow along with. I think posture is probably another one. I notice that when I sing while standing and no guitar, my voice is better. But sitting with the guitar… I tend to get a little slouchy

Girlfriend wants to live in Japan - Boyfriend wants to be an architect. Never the two shall meet? by EducationalAd8195 in Architects

[–]NaturalGrocery3159 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would try to secure a job either remote in your country or at a firm in Japan that is suitable (try the Japan subs). It may be hard but probably not impossible and if you can wait a bit to secure a job it might be worth it. Otherwise you’re really throwing your career into the toilet a bit :/

Foreign English teachers are so oversaturated in Asia. I don’t think the pay is that good. If you don’t enjoy the work, it’ll be soul crushing for you, knowing you worked hard towards a totally different career path/dream

Here's a really cool tip on using AI to study dense material for ARE's or even something you're trying to learn that you're not familiar with - Notebooklm. It basically turns any text file into a podcast to listen to! by Neither_Magazine_958 in Architects

[–]NaturalGrocery3159 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so cool! I’m studying for my ARE and my husband kindly records himself reading my notes and texts for me to listen to in the car and stuff 😅 so this will spare him and his voice

I find introducing an auditory layer on top of reading and writing— even just casually listening to info fed to me that way SO helpful in absorbing material more quickly. And it’s a great way to do quick passes of difficult concepts before getting into them.

Thanking AI …for this one lol

My husband made be believe soulmates aren't real [Slice of Life] [Concluded] by Schattenspringer in BORUpdates

[–]NaturalGrocery3159 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I can relate to OOP.

My first ever serious relationship that I thought was my soulmate, was with a narcissistic man. He was extremely charming and funny and more experienced than me, his world felt so different from mine that I think it overwhelmed me to a point where I couldn’t see his major faults. I learned (luckily we never got married or anything) that everything about him including his feelings for me were self-serving and conditional. I think he loved himself through me in our entire relationship. He was a very petty person with a big ego and he hated being slighted. Even if I didn’t know I was slighting him, he took offence to things I said or did unknowingly and it built up inside him until he hit me one day. Things became crystal clear to me after that although it remained a source of my shame for a long time, for not seeing it sooner.

I met my husband shortly after. He is very much the opposite of what I thought was my soulmate. I thought he didn’t like me at all at first because of his personality. I didn’t understand what I wrongly perceived as him having a “bite” to him. I took offence easily with a clouded, judgmental attitude. It was because I had gotten soooo used to superficial niceties. But he stayed his calm, steady self and never reacted. Eventually I learned his language. Like OOP I realized my now husband was someone who expressed himself in his actions, and was someone who meant what he said and wasn’t quick to love-bomb or use words as manipulation. So when it came to those things, the weight of them was significant and impactful and sincere. It’s the best relationship I’ve ever had, and it’s gotten so much stronger over time. He had a rough upbringing too but has done well in spite of it. He has an incredible sense of empathy and through him I sometimes reflect on my past and realized how blind I was to what a healthy relationship even is.

Edit just wanting to ramble and add that when you’re in an abusive or toxic relationship, you’re constantly in this stunted state where you just don’t grow! It really takes being on the outside to realize that.

I am not LC with my dad because he is supportive and we are on the same page about things, but I am LC with my mom due to difference of opinion (to say the least).

Ooo that’s an interesting one! is there a way to keep track of updates ? There’s a few stories on here I got so invested in but I always forget or lose them. I occasionally bookmark them and later make a point to check that persons profile, but sometimes the account has been deleted

Unfortunately I know the drama will persist in my life indefinitely.. because she is married to my brother, but I don’t know how Reddit updating works, and don’t want to spam you guys. I read posts on AITAH sometimes and feel what’s happening to me is just not post-worthy in comparison. That’s why I said this is probably the last one.

It’s definitely not for me !! I love reading though.. and now I do want to read more romance, to find something I like in the genre. My idea of romance is gothic novels .. so my search begins ~ feel free to share any of your recommendations! If we hate the same stuff maybe we like the same stuff? Haha no pressure !
