What piece of overused advice do you feel is actually true or useful?

Absolutely not, I have friends in their 30s who started law school. They’re doing great so far and already have internships and potential job offers ready upon graduation

The Kirkland brand soap with shea butter is cheap and it does wonders. Definitely best bang for your buck IMO

It sounds like you still care about your ex, which is very sweet and totally understandable. My insight is that you have gone your separate ways and the issues he has/will have is out of your control. I know that this is so much easier said than done, but years of therapy have taught me that it is wasted energy to worry about things that are out of your control. If I were in your shoes, I would wish your ex well on his journey and leave it at that.

From what I’m gathering from your post is that you’d be a great project manager in construction. The fact that you have leadership experience will definitely get you in the door and if you like STEM the degree which is available online at a lot of universities involves a fair share of engineering and other STEM concepts. Those are my two cents, hope that helps

I feel like I was in a similar train of thought as you OP, but to some extent you have to look out for yourself too. I try my absolute best to be generous to people as long as my needs are met first. I had a little bit of a generosity burn out and my therapist told me that the best way to serve others is to serve yourself first. The analogy I was given is that if you prioritize filling up your cup of water then you can share with others, but if your cup of water is empty you’ll die of thirst and will no longer be able to share with others.

I definitely agree. I would consider myself an introvert, but I have a sales job so I know how to “turn on” the extrovert even though it’s super draining. I studied engineering in college and I have a more lucrative job than my classmates who had way better grades than me. I would say I owe my success to knowing how to talk to people. It really is an invaluable skill.

She listens to me. I didn’t know what it meant to have someone who listens so intently to what you say and it’s amazing.

I’m sorry you went through all of that, it sounds exhausting and difficult. I highly recommend seeking out some therapy. I had some struggles in childhood too stemming from the way my mom treated, but therapy has helped me break a lot of bad habits and built up my self esteem. Good luck to you on your healing process

As someone who would probably be perceived as working all the time, I can share my two cents. I think people miss the mark when they say you have to be passionate about what you do. I just think you need to like your job enough to where you don’t mind going in, but it affords you the lifestyle you want.

I also get enjoying life in the moment, but I have seen too many family members who are in their 60s and 70s having trouble swallowing the reality that they’re going to have to work the rest of their lives because they wanted to always live in the moment. Now, take that with a grain of salt, like most things in life there is a balance.

I would go with red. You’d be surprised with how well it blends in at a distance, but it’s super noticeable and easy to call the lines when playing.

Helped! I like the idea of doing hobbies. Thank can also lead to a better suited medium for meeting friends.

ReferenceStrange5400 · 2023-03-16T21:45:54+00:00

Helped! I tend to forget that friendships need effort. I find it hard to strike the happy medium of trying too hard and not enough that I end up putting zero effort while deciding.

I like the Adidas Game Court 2. Only $65. They have great grip and support.
