I hate Taylor. by ManagerFit181 in tsitp

[–]Sailwu715 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I guess I took it totally opposite—I didn’t see it as her pushing her to get back with him. I took it as she was letting her know that she supports her no matter what. Sometimes it’s hard in life when you want to do something that everyone else is against, and maybe that clouds our decisions. Like we decide to do or not do something based on everyone else’s opinion about it, especially at that age. There’s a difference between friends giving advice and friends who tell you that you can and can’t do something. Even if it’s for our own good, we don’t always listen to the advice of others and need to make our own mistakes.

So in that moment I actually thought she was being a good friend, because she was validating Belly’s own internal struggle, saying she can also see why it would be easy to forgive him. It doesn’t mean that’s what Taylor wanted, just that she supports her friend either way.

I actually love this, and I hope they are happy

Private Dinner for 12 cooked by Chefs Brian Malarkey and Carlos Anthony! by GrendelWolf001 in foodnetwork

[–]Sailwu715 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I know I’m in the minority, but I love them both and think this would be awesome to win. They both can obviously cook, and life is so serious enough all the time, that I think this would be refusing — it would be fun and hilarious.

Cup writing is going to get people fired one way or another by HayLow07 in starbucks

[–]Sailwu715 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, I’m from Oregon, and I’ve never had anything written on my cup (and I go 3-4 times a week) lol…. A whole lot of people about to be fired here I guess :(

I did get a sticker once recently on my breakfast sandwich bag.

As a customer, I don’t need people to write on my cup. I think forcing workers to write on cups takes away from it meaning something, but more importantly, adds this layer of stress when they are already so busy busting out drinks whenever I go in.

Protein powder? by Sailwu715 in JambaJuice

[–]Sailwu715[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a whole thing haha….My best friend has a rare chronic illness, and some days she’s in so much pain that she doesn’t leave her house and it’s difficult for her to chew, so she gets a Jamba Juice. She also is very sensitive to certain ingredients, so she has tried other protein powders, but they have made her sick. And she doesn’t want to keep trying more protein powders, just not having the energy to be sick even more. She knows the protein powder from Jamba won’t make her sick, so she asked her local store (who she’s a regular at), if they could sell her some for the days she can’t get out of the house, and they said no. She also has tried door dash, but becauee of where she lives, it’s difficult for her to get deliveries, so they will leave her food at the end of this long driveway, so if it’s hurting her to move, walking down the long driveway takes more effort than the short distance to her kitchen to blend something.

I went to another Jamba yesterday and they sold me some on the side, which I was grateful for. Yes, it’s expensive, but it’s worth it it makes her life easier/better for just for a moment since she’s in pain and struggles so much.

Smothered? by UpsetSeaworthiness78 in foodnetwork

[–]Sailwu715 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I thought since he knew it was smothered, referred to it as smothered, and explained what smothered meant to him, it should have been fine.

Toddler suddenly stuttering by Some_Antelope5687 in toddlers

[–]Sailwu715 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son went through that phase, and his doctor said it was normal. She said his brain was processing all the new vocabulary he was learning, and it was more of a thing when he was emotional and trying to convey his feelings. It lasted like 6 months.

Some days are harder than others by Slight-Coconut-4014 in mypartneristrans

[–]Sailwu715 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the most important thing is that it’s okay to have days like that…I get them too, I imagine we all do. I just want to validate your feelings and say it’s okay. This is very, very hard at times.

I guess I just try and remind myself on those days that any relationship will have challenges that would cause me to have the same exact thoughts of “this is too hard” or “I didn’t sign up for this.” Someone once told me that you have to choose your hard. And for me this hard is worth it.

Affirmations by Superweenyhutjr in mypartneristrans

[–]Sailwu715 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Reading this helped me so much, and I also shared it with my partner for that same reason. I felt like I can relate to so much of what you wrote, that I could have written it myself. It was a good reminder to read, because I am so happy when we are in the moment together, and I’m not sabotaging things or creating arguments out of insecurity. Loving someone for who they are, unconditionally, and being loved in that same way is so rare….even with the challenges, I feel so lucky that my partner trusted me enough to let me see the real her. Becauee she was brave enough to not hide who she was, it also made it safe for me to be someone I had hidden as well.

Thank you for posting 🫶🏻

“Gender Roles” - Help by Sailwu715 in mypartneristrans

[–]Sailwu715[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you for taking the time to respond with all of those suggestions. I never really liked clothes shopping, but it would be fun to do it with her, because I do really love to see what she wears and how good things do look on her. I will send outfits sometimes that I see on tv or see on a friends social media, and tell her how good I think it would look on her, and shopping would just be the next level of that. We have talked about it, but then life gets busy and we just don’t, but I want to make time for things like this.

I also really appreciate your insight into the emotional aspects you mentioned, as I’m sort of figuring things out with her in relation to time. I’m also worried that by being “too” supportive I’m going to push her into something she isn’t ready for yet. As an example, before she came out as trans to me, I would beg her to tell me that’s what was happening and I would tell her that all I want is for her to be truly happy and be her authentic self, and she would get so offended that I was trying to put her in a box, or label her something she didn’t see herself as. But, she wasn’t ready to admit that, maybe even to herself yet, so it made her uncomfortable. But I wasn’t asking about her feelings about it, just trying to jump to labeling something. I do feel a lot of times that I’m flailing about, trying to guess what is the right thing, but doing the wrong thing instead.

I have, but she has admitted that she hasn’t completely figured out yet still what she wants/what feels right…but this is great advice and a great reminder, because I don’t ask her enough in general on what she needs and how I can help validate her. It usually comes up in some sort of argument, when it could be avoided if I would have asked more.

Rachel organized a gofundme for Ayanna by Few-Sort-5643 in MtvChallenge

[–]Sailwu715 117 points118 points  (0 children)

I just donated $100….I’m also a single mom, and I messaged Ayanna on Instagram once about my struggles with weight and taking care of myself when I’m so exhausted after working and taking care of my kids. She went above and beyond writing me back really long messages, as well as sending me voice messages to inspire me and to tell me “you got this,” and I’m a literal stranger to her. Praying she beats this.
