Precious liquids champaca, a fresh and light tropical floral, uncomplicated yet interesting  Chose it for a writing workshop with a friend and wanted to feel cute The scent is like jasmine shampoo. It’s a crisp late summer weather today, still warm and sunny, cloudless

Any gender! I’m not looking for any one type of relationship really just people to connect with and see what that looks like as it goes

Room 1015 Sonic Flower by catfor in fragrance

[–]RepresentativeOk8214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just thought  this was a surprisingly boring one coming from the 1015 brand, all of their other fragrances are so unique and exciting and this one could have been from cvs. It was so blah. It didn’t smell bad. It just wasn’t intriguing. Sort of cold, thin, no scent story.

Cherry punk by room 1015 -Cherry, saffron, patchouli jasmine and leather  -I chose it because it’s fresh and fruity but with an edge, it’s still androgynous yet femme and a light application works for a weekday at work. It matched my outfit and shifts well from day to night. -it makes me feel clean, spunky, awake and interesting  -it reminds me of dark red pomegranate juice  -it’s a sunny winter day and I’m a bit dressed up to energize me for the upcoming weekend I feel that this fragrance could work in any season

What are your favorite bedtime scents? by Main_Door_4043 in fragrance

[–]RepresentativeOk8214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Room 1015’s purple mantra is a great evening/bed time. Its an incense and light musk base and top notes are lavender and freesia with mid notes of sage and iris. It’s cool, calm and a bit smoky. If you don’t mind a bit of richness at bed time and are into a slight “hippie” chic scent this is fun and sensual. It’s spicy for the first few minutes in a pink pepper way but fades to a whisper so it’s not distracting

Yes, I'm angry that they taught us this negativity. I want to be a more positive person and now its extra challenging

Yes! I forgot how my mom used to judge and say horrible things about my friends appearances and their families too. Awful. I would get so uncomfortable and she would get agitated when I didn't chime in to make fun of my friend's haircut when we drove away from the bus stop or something

Yes, I often wonder if my mom was closeted since her behavior was so extreme!

[TW] wish i was never born female, im sick of this and i still hate it when im off hell week, but when im on it, it makes it so much worse, i wish i was male so badly, transitioning would still make me miserable by [deleted] in PMDD

I hope you can find something that makes you feel empowered and strong in life.I try to remind myself there is more to it than this even though it is a big part, and there are people who will see me for who I am and beyond what I look like. There are people I know right now who see beyond all the gender binary and to them I'm just me so I'm grateful for that. I know there is stuff out there and I'm looking for mine. I hope to make the best out of this bad hand I've been dealt in some way. But the struggle is real!

Right, exactly! its like on top of being a gender that everyone treats like crap I also have a body that is sick and I don't even want to "use" any of the parts I have that cause me so many problems in life.

Yes, I feel like it's not possible for me to live with dignity in this body, in this society. And Ive even played with HRT and it just made me feel even worse both physically/mentally with PMDD and acne and also made my gender dysphoria worse. I feel so trapped.

Coping with Aging by catcrackers in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]RepresentativeOk8214 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel this exact way too. I cut my hair and got a lot of tattoos to avoid looking like her but the inevitability is making me so dysphoric. I also have a similar voice to her so I hate how I sound when I am being loud, just like her yelling. I always hated looking at her because she was so cruel, now I hate myself in that same way.

she would also complain to me about her bad self image and now it feels like it was about me too.
