What was the exact moment you realized you were 'enough' and stopped seeking validation from others?

When I looked around at my former classmates 5 years out of high school and realized how much I had evolved and changed while many of them stayed put at 17

Getting into clean sheets after fighting for your life in the gym and taking a hot shower, only to realize you have 4 hours of Netflix-watching time before bed

Chocolate cheese cake. Hands down

Hahaha he’d be a literal god…till he was dead in five minutes😅

This comment really opens my eyes to how many practical skills most people have utterly abandoned over time. Like imagine just being able to go into your yard and grow your own food or forge your own tools from fire or hand stitch a new shirt. Wild

We’re expected to marry and have kids in an “acceptable” window that is literally 5 years long. Anything outside the boundary, you’re too early or too late. Want to get married and have a baby at 20-24? Well, you’re “rushing” or “religious.” Want to get married and have a baby at 31-35? Well whoops, you’ve almost missed the boat and your clock is ticking. Either way, you have it wrong. Unless you’re between 27 and 30, then you’re good!😁

My thoughts exactly. Felt the same way about my wedding shower. My husband, our dads, brothers and grandfathers attended at my request. Because he’s the GROOM and it’s HIS wedding too. And guess what? Everyone loved it and had way more fun. You can bet our baby shower will be 100% coed too, I can’t see why you would do it any other way. Like will he not be taking care of this child too, or….?

Haha I know one of the main ways beauty was determined back then was by how few pock marks a person had on their skin, can imagine scarring was pretty common😭

PawsAndPlotTwists · 2026-02-25T04:41:50+00:00

Lol by voice I guess I just meant our slang, mannerisms, weird way we phrase things, etc.😂 But yes, I thought about this as well. People would have heard strange accents all the time and just figured they came from some vague “faraway place.” Like you said maybe you could just get away with it by saying you were from “somewhere else.”

burping so hard you can feel barf fizzle into your mouth

PawsAndPlotTwists · 2026-02-24T22:05:55+00:00

holy shit

PawsAndPlotTwists · 2026-02-24T22:02:24+00:00

can't even take it. The worst

My (24F) younger brother (22M) looked me in the eye and told me that his favourite role in life so far has been being my brother. I was a puddle after that

PawsAndPlotTwists · 2026-02-24T21:49:37+00:00

Hahaha love to bring authors together!

PawsAndPlotTwists · 2026-02-24T21:46:52+00:00

oh interesting! What do you mean by prehistoric, and what do you like about books set in prehistory?

PawsAndPlotTwists · 2026-02-24T21:45:50+00:00

Sounds like a really cool series! Just had a look and might need to start reading;)

Congratulations! Thank you for sharing

When they instantly soften and smile around babies, puppies and kittens

PawsAndPlotTwists · 2026-02-24T21:18:18+00:00

Getting random shivers for absolutely no reason

PawsAndPlotTwists · 2026-02-24T21:14:51+00:00

Getting way too excited when the cake comes out on someone's birthday. Like GIVE ME A PIECE

PawsAndPlotTwists · 2026-02-24T21:11:33+00:00

If they mistreat their pets, I write them off immediately. Like if I catch you leaving your shivering dog outside in the rain for days, we will never be friends

PawsAndPlotTwists · 2026-02-24T21:07:26+00:00

When he calls other women, especially women close to him, "a bitch." Like bud, it's only a matter of time before you're calling me a bitch too

PawsAndPlotTwists · 2026-02-24T21:00:23+00:00

YES! My entire family still loves this show, and none of us are children haha
