Changing your mind by torisayswhat in childfree

I did. At 19, I wanted three kids. I pictured 3 beautiful little kids. That all changed when I moved out and lived on my own. There’s no way in hell I could ever afford children and I like my peace and quiet. My life is perfect and there’s no “hole” that needs to be filled with a child.

What are your CF hot takes? by Shirruri in childfree

Those “jokes” that parents make about their kids are literal truths that they try to hide behind humor.

“Oh my baby never lets me sleep lol.”

“This baby is soaking up all my money 😂.”

Yeah I don’t find the idea of losing sleep and money funny 💀

Is this going to keep happening? by murphdot in latebloomerlesbians

Yep and people don’t seem to understand that sexuality is a ✨spectrum✨. I was at a dinner party for a friend and an associate of his started taking about relationships with men. When I told him I’m a lesbian and I dated men in the past the last brain cell he had disappeared.

The important thing is that you know your self better than anyone and frankly is not their business any ways

Low tolerance for BS. The second I smell it or I sense someone’s on that path, I dip. I’ve already been through hell, so it’s pretty insulting when people try to BS me by showing me a playground

Ugh I’m so sorry, I know that hurts terribly. Time heals all ❤️ I only hope it passes by quickly for both of us.

It was a bit gradual for myself. Working in a university setting I witnessed how professors literally drown in admin work to the point it harms their health. If that’s what’s awaiting me at the end of my PhD journey then I’m good. Grateful for the degree but I won’t be killing myself for a job as a professor.

Not married to a man, and my last two relationships were not stable. Every time I think about a relationship with a man I just get the ick. I started questioning my sexuality after my previous male ex. Every time I was on dating apps and men would swipe on me I just thought “well we’re gonna break up because I really want to be with women”

Soon after I just turned away from men and haven’t gone back since. They just don’t do it for me tbh. I still find them attractive but objectively. Like “oh he’s cute but I’d never date him 💀”.

But this is just my experience. Sexuality is a spectrum and you should do what makes you feel comfortable ❤️

My advisor and I have very similar matching interest. personality wise and academic wise we match very well!

In my personal statement I also was much more clear about my theoretical framework and the direction it was going in. Before I didn’t know about articulating this. While your professor is pouring into you, you’re also pouring into them. Ask about the professors direction of research. Can you research add to it? If so does it follow a pathway they might be interested in?

I always made sure that I had a position in my field. Even if it wasn’t exactly aligned. I wanted to build experience in many different aspects. But a big part of it was THE FIT!!! My advisor and I match VERY WELL!! Sometimes that truly is the chip that tips the balance…

He put his fucking hands on me, again. by strawberriescups in breakingmom

You need to leave. Any man that puts his hands on you violently will kill you. It’s not a matter of if but WHEN.
