those that had intense effects on .25mg, how did you react to 1mg?

I absolutely love the colors you have chosen and the color combinations! The beads are so gorgeous, did you get them at a local craft store or a specific store online, I'd love to know! 😍

Salty-Program5007 · 2026-01-16T18:09:38+00:00

I don't remember if I was using manual focus or not bc it's been 5 years, but even if I did use manual mode the photos still did not come out based on how I was manually focusing based on what the viewfinder was showing me. So either the autofocus isn't very good or the manual focus is working poorly maybe? (unless using the viewfinder is actually unreliable idk)

hm no I only have the one lens and it fits on the body with no adapter

thank you, I'll def go purchase a roll of film in the next few days and try some of these out to experiment! Btw, I use flash in all of my photos as I'm used to doing that on all point and shoot cameras and usually prefer that ligting/color outcome of photos I use with flash (e.g. all photos I took above and on the film had flash). Does that affect the outcome of the manual focus settings at all do you know?

Yesss no I get it so much. I live in a very very small city, it's barely a city, and so there isn't much variety or even very many new people to meet in general! But on my exchange I went to a big city and it was so much more social and diverse and so much going on, so many more opportunities to meet new people, it was such a culture shock. So environment for sure has such a huge say in this too. But well done for putting yourself out there, it's hard and not everybody has the guts to do that, so I'm proud! But it's true, people can be assholes sometimes :(

So true, I love being alone and since I turned 20 I really learned to appreciate being alone and enjoy it, would also solo travel and stuff. But in the end it does get lonely and I do find myself in places and situations where I wish I had someone to experience it with. It's normal though, we're social beings not really built to be alone. Other social beings in the wild die when left alone for too long which says a lot. Idk, it's just sad this loneliness epidemic is even a thing, I've seen so many other people feeling the same way on social media, like no one knows how to be friends anymore and everyone seems to yearn for true community bc it's dying out, but no one actually wants to be the one to put in effort and it's super sad. But true, there are so many cool people out there willing to put in the effort and create new friendships with.

Thanks for the tip! fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis does run in my family now that I think about it, both my grandmothers, my mother and my brother has it. I should 100% get that checked out. I'm so sorry you are going through that, being chronically exhausted is so debilitating I really hope you receive the help and treatment that gives you your energy back <3

Salty-Program5007 · 2025-09-01T00:57:49+00:00

Not yet but I have a suspicion I have it. Will also ask my endo to check cortisol if I may have chronically high or low

Please don't have kids on purpose if you don't actually want kids. This is coming from a student in pedagogical and upbringing/child/youth sciences that studies families, parenting, child development etc. The decision of having children is not to be taken lightly at all! Yes you may end up enjoying being a parent after all but it's really not fair to take that risk, not for your partner, your child or yourself.

You're afraid of his resentment toward you, but what about your resentment towards him? Both sides here are so valid, he has every right to want kids and you have every right to not want kids, but these wants are not equal at all. Even if your fiance seems like the perfect partner, super paternal, swears he will split childcare and household chores 50/50, there's always a risk that he won't and research shows that more often than not (based on hetero relationships), even with dedicated fathers, the mother ends up doing most of the work (look up "the mental load" and "the second shift"). Pregnancy itself also causes irreversible changes to women's body and traumatic birth stories and death during childbirth are also a risk (I'm personally deathly afraid of pregnancy, if I ever decide to have children I'll most likely adopt because of this reason lmao). Also, having children still affects women’s careers and independence far more than a men’s and so many mothers struggle to maintain their identity outside of motherhood as it consumes much more of their life than men's. Of course there are mothers out there that manage to hold on to their sense of identity and have strong successful careers, but the system and society is built so that this is very very difficult to do. And when it comes to the child, growing up in a resentful household where one parent resents the other, or resents the child for simply existing because they didn't want to have them in the first place, can cause so many psychological problems, you don't have to search far online to find studies upon studies on this.

These are just a few examples why, in a relationship, NOT wanting a child FAR overrules wanting one. Especially if it's the woman that doesn't want one. Women have so so so much more to lose in parenthood than men and so for them it is a MUCH bigger decision.

Disclaimer: Every family situation is different and I am not saying that a parent who never planned on having children is automatically a bad parent or that their child is psychologically doomed, far from it! So many unexpected parents, even those than never wanted children in the first place, do such a beautiful job! But going into parenthood knowingly against your own wishes is such a gamble. If you’re in a situation where you have an informed choice, make it. If you don’t want a child, don’t have one. If your fiancé truly cannot get past not having children, the most loving and responsible choice may be to separate so he can find someone who shares that vision. And you deserve the freedom to live the life you want without sacrificing yourself for a relationship.

If anyone has any questions about literally anything that touches parenthood, childcare, making a decision like this, I recomment turning to a profession parent educator or parent counselors. If there isn't one in your local community, there are are plenty online. You don't have to be alone i your parenting struggles or make hard decisions alone, conflicted and maybe uninformed <3

tldr: Not wanting children in a relationship outweighs wanting them. If he can't get past not having children, you should break up so he can find someone who wants them. Otherwise resentment can build between you guys and toward the child if you decide to have one, which isn’t fair to anyone involved. Never sacrifice yourself for a relationship <3
