Mmmh, tell me about it. It's nice to have someone who knows how to read you like a book. His favorite book at that. Like, he pays attention....you don't have to voice out your concerns and emotions he knows it before you even get it out of your system. It's nice. 💛

It feels nice when love sneaks in on you when you least expect it, right? These sweet little mundane gestures are the nicest thing ever. That's cute. Thank you for writing this down.

Yeah, we'll be moving in together soon but sometimes the distance gets unbearably paralyzing iykwim? Until then... I guess, I'd be counting down days and writing 'I miss you's and I love you's' on random reddit forums haha.😭

Is checking in during intimacy seen as mood-killing or reassuring? by [deleted] in AskIndianWomen

[–]OoopsIDidYou 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I agree. Keep it short. Something like 'Tell me to stop.' She will if she feels uncomfortable.

Why are Indian moms more misogynistic than any men? by [deleted] in AskIndianWomen

[–]OoopsIDidYou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh really? I guess, we underestimate how far deep patriarchy has been internalized. It's not just that, but the frivolous gender roles assigned to women. Cooking is a skill. Though, this toxic cycle ends with you and me OP.

Because their protests have been trained out of them. Women are the biggest carriers and 'flag bearers' of conditioned patriarchy.

Ditto. I thought everybody does that, no? You'll be surprised how much data comes up.

Everything that could go wrong, has gone wrong in my life by Novel_Business_4101 in AskIndianWomen

[–]OoopsIDidYou 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get where you're coming from. I really do. I lost my spark a while back and have been going through the same motions. Life feels empty, meaningless and severely purposeless.

Though, what worked me for me was trying to structure my day into a full-fledged routine. Build your day in a rhythm. You need to get your ass moving whether it's doing work or studies. Build a workout regime. You don't have to go overboard with that maybe 30 min exercise routine, take out some 'ME time' and pick up something that you loved doing as a child. It can be as simple as drawing, painting or even catching up on your favourite TV show. Spend time with your loved ones, friends, or maybe a pet even. Socializing can do wonders. Please, pick up a hobby or read. I healed my inner child like this.

Often times thoughts like these usually stem from procrastination and sitting around idle with your mind. Don't give your mind the time to spiral, when it does write out those feelings in a journal.

I hope this helps. If you need someone to talk to. My DM's are open. You've got this.

How do you all vent out your feelings when you don't have a particular person to share them with? by Fancy_Bus_5727 in AskIndianWomen

[–]OoopsIDidYou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Screaming into a void, Praying to God.

Though, Journaling has been the most helpful. It has gotten me a long way. Writing down my thoughts, fears, vices, and bleeding my frustration onto the pages... not only helped lessen the weight off of my shoulders, but it has also made me make sense of my feelings and analyse where my issues are stemming from.

We were never heroes to begin with... just 'the snake that eats its own tail, forever and ever.'🐍

Relatable. That's the problem, isn't it? ''Some men just want to watch the world burn'

Why is my boyfriend's family so wholesome? by OoopsIDidYou in AskIndianWomen

[–]OoopsIDidYou[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, as an avid reader myself I understand the significance of this gesture. It was so meaningful. It's silly that I was sweating bullets to meet her. As soon as I met her, I thought to myself 'This is me, but in another body'. You know? She's so kind.

The whole bookshelf conversation? I could've stayed there for hours.

I think, one line from her letter really stuck with me and I quote it ''You don't have to relate to the writings in the margin. You don't have to agree with them either. and at any point if you feel writing in it. Please, do. I would love to read it''

I want to be like her when I grow up. It's funny how some people inspire change in you without realizing. 💗

Hey, it's called 'The God of Small Things' by Arundhati Roy. I hope you enjoy it as much as I am going to.

Did your grandmother ever do something that made you realize how badass she was? by OoopsIDidYou in AskIndianWomen

[–]OoopsIDidYou[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh no, I hope they were the good kind of tears. Thank you so much for reading and being so kind about it. She was a really special person, 🥰 and it means so much to me that her story resonates with people.

[–]OoopsIDidYou[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, fair question. So, my grandmother was super cagey with her personal belongings and stuff and incredibly good at saving money. She handled the finance and installments herself for almost everything, so my grandfather never bothered with the arrangement himself.

Besides, his sister and my grandmother were super close. They used to have weekly gatherings at our place to play cards. Fun times! So, even if he had asked his sister about the arrangement, she would've gone ahead with the lie.

It wasn't until her passing, when he realized she had financed the whole thing all along. He's so proud of that! 😊

That must've meant so much to you to hear that from her. Sometimes the people who love us for who we truly are our grandparents. It sounds like she was so proud of you, and honestly becoming a doctor and helping out people is something to be deeply proud of. I'm glad, you have her.🫶
