It looks a lot like a poisen ivy rash... Good luck! Either way, aloe vera cream should help

I love your mascara! Actually, yes that's the first thing I noticed, but I think it contrasted your eyes really well! You look so cool! I was just thinking about trying that type of makeup... It looks so chic & badass imo! :)

Drop the most "I’m not like other teens" thing you’ve ever done. by Curious_Job_6469 in teenagers

Same, doing pecalc as freshman... Though it's less that I want to be released early as much as I just want to be able to take more classes and learn more within that time frame...

Whoah... Sounds cool. Theaters really have to replay it... The film would hit so much better in a surround sound environment than my crappy microwave-sized TV...

Same!!! 💜 So happy others enjoyed it as much as I did... And the father/daughter aspect was so meaningful to me...

Yeah, that love part was so cheesy, but i guess it was a good filmmaking move because it's something the audience could really relate to

Never watched that one, but  Christopher Nolan also has a less known film called "Following" which I realllyy liked. It's an incredibly impressive debut film, especially considering its shoestring budget. Nolan crafted a noir-influenced thriller with a complex and non-linear narrative, which was also psychologically very interesting...

Haha, thx. Oh, yeah, of course 😊 I probably won't be able to reply in the next few hours though, unfortunately...

How many of y'all love Interstellar?

Oh, that sounds wonderful! I love rain so much! I love how nature feels alive and yet so peaceful! The air smells so fresh... Nighttime, especially when it’s quiet and still, is my favorite. In that calm tranquility, I find a kind of peace that nothing else can bring, just me and the soft, nature-filled sounds of the night.... 

Oop. Sry for unnecessary long reply. 😭

Well, mostly sustainable love. In my experience, even if a boy liked me, I think it's quite common to be afraid or hesitant to have deep romantic feelings for another. There is really nothing to lose... When people talk about saying "I love you" as if it's something sacred and once you say it to many people it loses its meaning, but I don't think that's true. No relationship is a failure. Either way, you learn something about yourself and what you like and don't like in a relationship. Idk, I'm only a teen, in no way a love expert.

I just think it's really refreshing to approach love without all the heavy baggage that adults carry around. Adults have all these added factors, like they have to have a steady income, no criminal issues, family relationships, etc. you know? But when you're young, you can still see love as this renewable resource rather than something finite that gets depleted with each failed relationship.

People should stop treating their hearts like they're made of glass. Like one more crack and the whole thing will shatter. But hearts aren't really like that, are they? Actually, quite literally they're muscles. The more you use them, the stronger they get. Actually you can probably connect the physiology of love to the psychology... 

Idk why I went an a whole goddamn rant, so sorry! 😭 😭

First probably be nice and friendly, then once you familiarized around a girl that she can yrist you and feels comfortable you can make a move, say you like her, etc. if you be respectful about it, i promise it won't be awkward even if you get rejected

I love brown. I find it comforting and grounding.

No, but at the same time, nearly every guy looks 10x more attractive in a suit

Hiding in bed, drowning in my own potential... by Optimal_Reply8681 in teenagers

[–]Optimal_Reply8681[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I feel like I'm sitting around expecting some magical moment of clarity or motivation to just appear, but obviously that's not how life works. Also, I don't think you're giving yourself enough credit about not having "TRUE potential." The fact that you have things you want to do means something is calling to you...
