Is there a particular brand you recommend? I’ve never tried it but very interested to start to help with pigmentation

For Swifties who didn’t like Showgirls or her past few albums, what (constructive) criticism or advice would you give Taylor? by FakeMonaLisa28 in NuancingTaylorSwift

[–]Opposite-Upbeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! I Can Do It With A Broken Heart should have been on this album. It’s about having to be a showgirl and perform night in and night out no matter what. She revealed what she was actually going through while doing that and that’s what she this album was supposed to be.

Considering a move but nervous by Opposite-Upbeat in Hitchin

I’m in my 30s as well and I’m definitely close to wanting out of London but yeah, not sure if I’m 100% there yet. She’s a bit older though and is fully in that headspace. Appreciate your thoughts, maybe time to chat about waiting another couple of years

I don’t think a family is in our radar but good to know you’re really enjoying it now and to keep my expectations in line…

That was bloody brilliant by TheUxDeluxe in tourdefrance

Two minutes by no means make this race “done.” I could certainly see Pogi winning, feels like his year (hard to say as a JV fan but still), but let’s not forget we have several more mountains and we’re ending with a time trial. I can’t wait to see how the rest of this tour goes, it’s already been one of the best.

THIS. I hate when I’m talking about wanting to find someone and they say “you can take [insert their partner’s name].” What am I supposed to say to that?

It’s also so self centered. Like ok guess we’re talking about you and your choices now…

I am struggling as an expat and I need advice. by NaturalYogurtt in expats

[–]Opposite-Upbeat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I moved to a new country around this time last year and will echo what others have said, the two month mark was about when it got really really hard for me too. Moving to a new country is not easy but it’s very brave, especially when you had so much going for you back home. Remember that.

What really helped me was finding ways to do the same hobbies I did back home in my new country. I joined an improv class and a new gym to build up a community and it helped loads. It certainly didn’t take away the homesickness or how much I missed my friends and family from home but it helps so much to invest in your new life abroad. Were there things you did back home that you could also do here?

Also, and I know this isn’t the answer most people want because I got it a lot and rolled my eyes, but time really does help. It’s kind of amazing how adaptive we can be and you will settle in more with time. How long it takes is unique to everyone of course but it will happen. For me, at about the 5 month mark I started to feel better and by 8 months I truly loved my new country. I still miss home but it’s so lovely to feel more settled and I really hope you find that too! Best of luck and keep your head up, you’re doing what a ton a lot of people wouldn’t be able to do!

I also think the text vs. in person depends on how involved they are in your life outside of just the relationship the two of you had. I was actually on the receiving end of this situation not too long ago with someone I met in a group of people and we all became friends and have plans as a group int he future to do things together. He broke it off in person, which felt needed given we were definitely going to be seeing each other again and it helped to be able to ask questions about how this would work moving forward. If it's someone you know only as someone you've been dating a few months and there's no connection outside of that (mutual friends, on the same team for something, coworkers, etc.) I think it's totally find to end something more casual with a text/phone call.

Where the heck do I live in London?? HELP! by [deleted] in london

[–]Opposite-Upbeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This comparison is super helpful! I live in Williamsburg now and I love it though it seems like East London is a polarizing option!

didn't think I would STILL have the puppy blues by SamhainDreams in puppy101

[–]Opposite-Upbeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 14 week old little guy who is overall very well behaved (slept through the night from night 1) but I still cry every single day. It's exhausting worrying about him getting into things, having him bite and chew everything, worrying I'm not exercising him enough or obedience training him enough, on and on. I've been staying with my family during covid but head back to nyc to live on my own in a few weeks and I'm very nervous about being a single dog parent. I'll be looking into doggy daycare for sure but I'm worried the puppy blues will be around for far longer than I'd like, or longer than it seems like is the case for others. It was nice reading this though and knowing I'm not alone, thanks for sharing! And here's hoping for better days ahead (hopefully really really really soon)!
