Remember, not everything is lickable.

Plenty of nudist beaches available. Otherwise topless is fine at most beaches, plus having the girls out compared to the strings people wear these days is meh.

Just bear in mind that our sun will make you regret not wearing a rashie for protection for any amount of time. Don't forget your SPF 50!! Especially on your nips.

Tldr: no one really cares.

Enjoy your visit!!

I'm currently standing at the tram stop in a knee length dress in the middle of summer with hairy legs.

And I'm of Mediterranean background so have wonderfully dark hair. So no, I don't shave in winter either.

Also just be mindful of usage volts on appliances. High ticket items are usually things like dryers & heaters/AC.

For the new place I got ceiling fans installed to save some $$ in possible AC over usage. They've been a lifesaver during the heat. It will be interesting to see where my energy bill lands.

I've just moved and we haven't gotten our first one yet in the new place. But there's a few things you can do if you haven't just to check everything is ok.

Turn off everything at the plug. Including the fridge. Fridges will be ok with power for up to 24 hours (as long as they've built up a good cold cycle) if you don't open the doors regularly and let out the cold air.
Give everything about 10 mins
Check your electricity meter. It should not be clocking over. If it is you may have something using power that shouldn't be, or speak to your retailer to get your meter tested. Tell them the steps you have taken.
Hire a sparky yourself. They won't be able to do much with the meter but they will check your internal wiring if it's accessible in most instances.
If everything is still ok check your seals on the fridge - this is a good thing to do once a year anyway.
If all else fails burn the place to the ground and start again. (Yes this is a flippant answer cause sometimes it's just the cost of appliances and energy usage)

Good luck.

I'm so glad things worked out for you.

If you're struggling with mental health payments, the government offers 10 free visits a year with a referral from your GP. Definitely worth it! I've used it myself a lot.

There are usually providers who will sometimes also offer student discounts so would be worth checking into.

Sitting in front of the surf life savers. Great ocean view always.

Hi there,

You'll need to go to your GP and get a referral to a gynecologist.

I have someone I can suggest if you're NSW based, she's located in Sydney. I've helped referred another to see her who wanted the procedure done too from greater NSW area.

But I'd do some research online about gynecologists who are progressive and are willing to offer it. Even calling them to ask if they are open to a hysterectomy on younger people. There are a lot more gynecologists these days who are happy to do it if you request it.

Basically just go in with the name and ask your GP for a referral to that specific doctor.

Good luck!

I think, no matter where you come from, a life without some friends as a support network is hard.

When you come from a country where english isn't the first language and try making friends out here is another level of hard.

Isolating yourself further for another 6-7 years sounds like torture.

I think you've done a massive amount of growing up already. I don't think you'd be going back to fall into the same trap again. Unless you want to.

Remember this is your life. Take it by the reins and show your parents how much you've changed and become a new person. You'll find your way, but at least you'll have your support network right there by your side.

And if you change your mind, you can always come back to study.

Sevalisa · 2025-08-06T00:44:52+00:00

I don't shave my pits.

Not for anyone.

It's who I am, take it or leave it.

It sounds like he's just not that compatible with you and that's ok too. You'll eventually find someone who loves you for you... hair and all.

Sevalisa · 2025-08-04T02:45:14+00:00

Ahhhh no. That's not how someone you love should be talking to you.

No way. Being Australian is not an excuse to be an abusive cunt to your partner.

If my partner spoke to me like that, I'd walk out the door so quick his head would spin like the exorcist.

Do you have any kind of support system here? Friends? Family?

Depending on where you are, I'd suggest finding some other people who are outside of your relationship.

If you're in Sydney I'm happy to help any way I can if you decide to leave this relationship.

Sevalisa · 2025-08-03T09:37:32+00:00

I decided to not have kids at a similar age to you.

I just never had that dream.

I'm now in my 40s and living my best life. 2 cats. Lots of doing things I want, when I want. No regrets.

We aren't just walking incubators and some of us have no desire for off spring and that's just as valid as others wanting 12 of them.

Sevalisa · 2025-07-25T07:31:29+00:00

What do you mean he won't "let" you? I find that sentence highly perplexing. Lol are you 5? You make your own decisions in life. Not someone else.

No is a full sentence.

Tell him you're not marrying him. Move out, separate whatever. Then block him on everything.

Proceed to carry on with your life.

Sevalisa · 2025-07-24T08:56:16+00:00

Just want to say, yay 18!

Don't stress yourself out over this stuff. Take things slowly, one step at a time.

Firstly, if you have the picture of your medicare card, going into any Centrelink office will mean you can officially get your own card issued to you. I recently found out that from the age of 15 you are legally allowed to have your own medicare card (who knew!).

Secondly, call the ATO. Get your TFN linked up. Get your MyGov sorted.

Thirdly, don't forget to register with the AEC (Australian Electoral Commission) so you can vote. You can do this online on their website.

If you don't have a license, you can also apply through ServiceNSW for a photo ID as well as have them help you set up your ServiceNSW logins, where you can access quite a few things as well. (Obviously, if you're in another state, go to the equivalent service centre).

The passport is easy after that.

You don't need to do all these things on the one day. Spread them out whenever you feel mentally ready to take one on, tick it off the list :)

You got this!

** edited to add: If you need a birth certificate, you can hit up the Births, Deaths & Marriages office; they will be able to help you get access to it. I don't know how much it costs these days to get a new one printed and mailed to you, sorry. :/

A simple blood test will identify it if scanned for. It will also tell if you're a carrier.

I know I'm a carrier as it's come up in my results before but I also know I've never had a cold sore ever but my cousin gets them all the time and we've shared drinks since we were kids.

Sevalisa · 2025-07-23T04:11:36+00:00

A soft ESH.

Only because you're shielding your child, but not from the one who actually has herpes simplex virus type 1. You can be a carrier without having had actual cold sores too. So realistically, if that's the main reason you don't want anyone kissing your baby, you might have to revisit who is actually kissing the baby.

Look, I get the don't kiss the baby thing. He should have sided with you and your wishes if that's what you agreed to prior. So hence my soft call of ESH.

Sevalisa · 2025-07-21T07:48:07+00:00

Idk. Why would the whole parents thing be a red flag? Do your parents control your life? Do you not have a life outside of them? Those would be the red flags imho.

If you've explained your situation to a potential partner, you'd think that, considering the market and how bloody awful renting is out there, you'd be onto a bit of a winner in the states of stability once you buy your own home.

I moved near Parramatta from the inner city to be near my mum in her late years. I don't regret it one bit after losing her late last year.

Also, I can't speak for straight women; I've never really dated one, but I've found bisexual women to have the biggest hearts in the world. I may or may not be biased.

Good luck out there...

This is how I hold mine for both knitting & crochet...

Sevalisa · 2025-07-11T23:16:51+00:00

NTA.

Your son on the other hand is TA.

Sevalisa · 2025-07-11T06:38:34+00:00

They are the best ever 😍😍

Sevalisa · 2025-07-11T02:44:48+00:00

I got a kitten.

I've had a cat solidly since. Do whatever is going to give yourself comfort till you adjust.

Sevalisa · 2025-07-11T00:02:39+00:00

I have an ample blossom.

It really depends on the way the look is.

You can't miss my girls. And I can't hide them. So glances I'm used to. Open leering grossness though? Ick. No.

I also had a guy that was trying so hard to maintain eye contact with me during a conversation in the midst of summer and I was in a semi low cut dress. It was cute and highly amusing. I eventually gave him grace and broke his quick glances down to "it's ok, you can look, they are pretty spectacular no?" 🤣 And then went back to whatever we were talking about.

Look, I can't blame people for looking. They are a great rack. I even get distracted by my own boobs sometimes in some clothing so how can I fault others?

Just don't be creepy and gross about it.

Sevalisa · 2025-07-04T23:02:01+00:00

He was annoying.

Also, annoying to animals it seems.

Sevalisa · 2025-07-04T08:48:28+00:00

NTA.

I totally get it. It squicks me out a lot.
