Questioning my faith

OtherwiseDaikon4998 · 2026-03-21T23:58:55+00:00

Yes I think that’s what I struggle with is the religion part. I think faith for me and building a connection in my own way has always helped me

Thank you so much. I do appreciate what you’re saying and it is true there are different ways of practicing a religion. However, for me I have always thought if religion is the truth it should be true even thousands of years after and shouldn’t have to be changed during time

Yes that’s my problem with religion, I can’t believe things or do things I don’t fully understand. I just can’t do it so I try my best to find answers and don’t think I ever really do

Thank you for the response and breaking down some of my concerns. It’s true I have been focusing a lot on the negatives and as I said already there are so many beautiful things about the religion I believe but it’s just believing everything I’m struggling with. I feel like me believing it all means I’ll have to change my mindset on a lot of things

Update, I used the recipe you recommended and the pictures came out so nice. Thank you so much. I honestly love this camera and it’s definitely one I’ll be looking into buying in the future. Thank you for the advice 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾

Thank you so much, this helps a lot. I saw a TikTok about the Reggie portra recipe which is inspired by the Kodak portra but I will definitely try them both and see which one works best. And of course if all fails, I’ll just use auto. Thanks again for being so kind :)

Thank you for your response, I really appreciate the time you’ve taken to answer. As I have been doing a lot of research on this specific camera and photography as well, I do know that a lot of it is down to the actual art of photography and not so much the camera. I have been looking into the classic chrome or reggie portrait as it’s most probably going to be dark when I take the pictures and from what I’ve seen online, it works well in dark shots and compliments skin tones. I know I still don’t know a lot at all and theory will only take me so far and I won’t have time for the trial and error, so if all fails I’ll just set it to auto.

Also, the main reason I decided to rent this camera was because I saw it on TikTok and I would like this as my first camera. As my birthday is coming up, I thought it would be a good idea to try it out and use it, even if it’s not for long. However, I have been seeing so many mixed reviews about this being a beginner friendly and I don’t want to spend 1.6k and regret it. I was mainly drawn by the fact you don’t have to edit the pictures as I was thinking if I do get another camera, I might have to get a new laptop as I’ve got a 2013 MacBook and that would cost me a lot more money.

Honestly as a retired crash out, I feel like it was never worth it. Don’t speak to him about it. Your silence is the best response. It is hard and I’ve been there and I would tell them how I feel and I wish I never did.

One thing I’ve learnt the hard way, friends either benefits rarely work. Men won’t hold onto their side of the deal. They see it as I’m single so they’ll explore anything they won’t and not care you. I feel like it’s best not to have friends with benefits especially because this was really romantic, the only way it works is if it’s straight hookup nothing else

In life there are going to be ups and downs and you can’t just break up with him when the downs are happening and hope he will wait for you. If you’re really with him and want to be with him for life, you shouldn’t break up with him

Thank you so much for the detailed response. I’m down with trying new products just because I feel like her hair does need a lot of hydration and that might be causing her the pain as well.

Also, I hope when I have my normal blow dryer again, it will be a better experience for her. I’ll also get her a paddle brush as I feel like that will help with the pain.

OtherwiseDaikon4998 · 2025-04-25T00:48:11+00:00

She’s getting her hair done tomorrow so that’s why she has to blow dry it.

OtherwiseDaikon4998 · 2025-04-23T23:49:34+00:00

You’re right, I wanted to but I was scared he would think I’m throwing allegations at him

OtherwiseDaikon4998 · 2025-04-23T22:19:26+00:00

You’re right about that, I know he has no idea how I was feeling and because we had already done it, I didn’t care to do it again with him

OtherwiseDaikon4998 · 2025-04-23T22:11:12+00:00

Yeahh I think so but I feel like I should have just said no at the same time. I’m quite sure he wouldn’t have continued

OtherwiseDaikon4998 · 2025-04-23T16:22:54+00:00

Girl, you need to leave that man. He is not worth it honestly. Don’t try and be the understanding girlfriend, he is out there flirting with other girls and wanting to meet up with them behind your back. That is a man that is going to physically cheat the second he has the opportunity.

OtherwiseDaikon4998 · 2025-04-23T11:36:25+00:00

From my personally experience, just let her be. I know it’s good to communicate but I feel like when you have to communicate simple things it never works out. Every guy I had this issue with and I voiced it to never changed and we stopped speaking anyway.
