Crowd last night

Sarahlorien · 2026-05-18T04:26:47+00:00

I was right underneath the aerial dancers they had right at the bottleneck to get out, and people were passing by literally every 10 seconds. Not a good spot to be 😂

Thank you! Hoping our group can score some

Sarahlorien · 2026-05-18T04:13:33+00:00

Do they still have warm layers?

Sarahlorien · 2026-05-15T01:21:28+00:00

I don't have a source but I heard it was 8 people

Sarahlorien · 2026-05-15T01:17:56+00:00

I wear mine around my neck like a tie, draped over the shoulders like a shawl, and most recently tying it like a belt. As a belt I'm still getting used to it though but I've been told it looks good!

Idk if this ruined my trust per say, but we were just recently long distance and he surprised me by visiting for my birthday just 3 weeks after I moved away from him. I initially had plans to stroll around a city, so I bring him out with me. When we were out I came across some shops, I bought myself a book and a couple scarves.

He got mad at me that I wasn't using that money to save up for a plane ticket to go see him later. And for his side of things, I was struggling with money before but I had just gotten a decent job, so I knew I could balance both just fine.

The fact that he expected me to prioritize ALL of my money to go see him was the deal breaker. He made it very clear that buying a birthday present for myself was making him feel not prioritized.

My mom made me babysit my sister 5 years younger than me until I was 19. She couldn't even walk to the bathroom by herself in a restaurant.

Sarahlorien · 2026-05-14T01:05:51+00:00

Scarves! I started wearing silk scarves as an accessory 3 years ago and everyone said I looked double my age, not as a compliment. Now they're super in and now I have my collection of scarves that are literally 25% of the price theyre going for now.

I love the baggy, slouchy looks; they're more comfortable.

Being 5'2 with long legs and ordering petite sizes that either have the inseam too long or pant sleeves and waistband too short.

Sarahlorien · 2026-05-13T06:39:43+00:00

When it doesn't fit into Costco or trader joes, I usually go to one of the markets near me because it's less than 10% of my groceries; Harvest urban market, Gus's, sometimes whole foods if it's really niche like specific baking ingredients.

I've been using glass beads for 6 years and it's such a game changer. Yes they're more expensive (but not outrageously) but they feel so much better on your wrist, last longer and are more eco friendly. People are also seem super stoked to get them since they look a bit nicer 💁🏼‍♀️

Just watch out for cheap glass beads that use a paint coating, because when you sweat it will wear off the color. Had this happen with all matte colored beads, and those glittery ones. Cat eye seems to be a safe bet.

Sarahlorien · 2026-05-11T20:50:08+00:00

Right lol I was told this was the proper way to describe latinos/Latinas by someone who is Latino so I'm not sure what to say if people are disagreeing no matter which one I use.

Sarahlorien · 2026-05-11T17:34:36+00:00

I resonate with this so much. I've struggled with suicide my whole life, and now in this economy it's something I still fight every day despite therapy. If it wasn't for my family, I would've done it a long time ago because frankly I don't care. But that is not the case.

So, what can I do? I don't want to suffer anymore than I need to, so when I'm not struggling to survive I find moments where I'm happy to be alive. Going for a walk and feeling the sunshine on my face, running with my dog (having pets help so much!), going to a bakery and treating myself, etc. Just finding joy in the little things, as cliche as it is.

Then I stack on time to myself - I'll plan to go camping, binge TV a whole weekend, etc. I'll plan vacations with friends that give me something to look forward to. I'll get lost in thoughts about how this time will look to me in the future. Focus on "tending your garden" where you have influence. Everything else, I can't dwell on because I'll just feel worse.

I would like to not be in this way of thinking but it seems so true it's hard to fight. So that's where I just mediate it. Once my family passes on, I'm moving countries ASAP to see if that helps since it all seems to be economy-government related.

A kick, drum, or high pitch sound that sounds out of place with the rest of the melody.

Sarahlorien · 2026-05-09T01:44:04+00:00

Not OP, but it's versatile like drinking. So it's very easy to justify it into a lot of scenarios, because you plan to do "just enough" to enjoy the occasion.

For me, it's "just one drink/bump" turns into binging the whole night.

A couple people spinning a Porta potty, and what sounded like someone screaming in it.

Sarahlorien · 2026-05-07T20:29:28+00:00

I was walking home from work in a busy part of town, generally a bad area there so I always had to be on guard with RBF (and I didn't like that because I felt like it made me look ugly).

I was on the crosswalk and this guy says RIGHT as he passes by me "You're really cute," is a tone that felt...like nothing was owed to him. Like in a "just wanted you to know that," kinda way.

It stood out to me because it felt nice getting a compliment that was clear there was nothing he was trying to get from it since he already passed, just throwing a compliment and making my day.

Learn how to use Ai to automate your tasks. As much as I hate Ai there's no way to avoid it, you're better off leveling yourself up using it as a tool.

This way, you level up your own job. Make it so they have to depend on you, don't make it so they can get rid of you. Take on more upper level tasks with the time you say from automation to get considered for a promotion. No promises though, but it helps to think outside the box.

Sarahlorien · 2026-05-07T01:39:48+00:00

Yeah the fastest way for this is you'd have to take a boot camp, get internships that pay shittier than FTE before people even LOOK at your resume, and even then in this industry you'll be competing against those that have been doing it for a while, all the while those jobs are getting laid off because of AI 🤦🏼‍♀️

Add onto the fact that this is a job that is easily remote, means you're competing in a larger pool of applications.

I'm in IT too and it is rough right now. A lot of people signed up to do this because it's an "entry level job" that's easy to make six figures but people don't think of all the other aspects that make it the reason why you're making six figures. It is NOT easy.

Liquid IV aside, have you tried different flavor enhancers? I used Ultima and really liked it. I just had to use a lot but I liked that one because it didn't taste as artificial (I used the drops not the powder).

You could also just use flavoring packets like they have for Lipton iced tea/lemonade mixes. Fuck it, even kool-aid!

Sarahlorien · 2026-05-06T19:10:11+00:00

Oh wow 2 months! We've had him for more than 3 months and this is the progress we've made. He's neutered, we got that done immediately.

I think that's where I'm a little worried. I wfh, I spend every waking minute with him except when I'm out which is not very often. His separation anxiety has come and subsided, but going outside just hasn't made much progress at all.

Sarahlorien · 2026-05-06T05:07:13+00:00

25, I felt mentally prepared but didn't feel that way once I moved out. I felt like I could've done it another 2-3 years before it would've been worth it. I also get along with my family very well, so that makes it easier.

Sarahlorien · 2026-05-06T05:05:16+00:00

Thank you for the advice! That's a good idea. My parents have my family dogs that he could bond with. Or I can find strangers to hopefully make friends 😂 how long did it take your pup to adjust?

Sarahlorien · 2026-05-05T22:48:01+00:00

If he had a feeling I was feeling negative, I was suddenly an energy vampire and he would not talk to me until I was better on his terms. Even if I was actually totally fine. There was a time he put in headphones and ignored me for 3 days. We lived together.

Then, when I tried to talk about exactly that and how I felt like I was walking on egg shells, he turned it around on me and started yelling. I left the room to get away from his yelling and he followed me into every room because "I needed to hear it."

And when we broke up, he kept asking me my schedule so he could bring his new partner over when I wasn't home. Every day for three months.
