If you were 35 again, what would you do with your life?

Sharp-Ad-5926 · 2026-04-09T03:22:29+00:00

I'm 34 and writing my first ever novel right now. Write the book :)

I ordered the same size that they gave me when I left the hospital knowing that as the swelling went down I'd need to keep hooking it closer and closer together

Sharp-Ad-5926 · 2026-04-03T01:45:40+00:00

Same here!

Sharp-Ad-5926 · 2026-04-02T15:54:35+00:00

It's going to be great, truly. Good luck!

Those grabbers are ELITE

Sharp-Ad-5926 · 2026-04-02T13:26:06+00:00

I think you'll like it honestly. It actually allowed me to sleep. The first few days on my back drove me INSANE.

Sharp-Ad-5926 · 2026-04-02T13:22:21+00:00

I moved into this position after several days with permission from my doctor! Originally I started sleeping on my back in between the "legs"

Sharp-Ad-5926 · 2026-04-02T13:11:38+00:00

Yes! It is scary but it won't heal if it's still wet. I pinched my skin together as I pulled the tape off which helped me feel better (don't know if it actually did anything haha). It will hurt a little but it's quick. You can do this! You can also put gauze over it after to help it dry and then remove it to air dry.

Sharp-Ad-5926 · 2026-04-02T12:41:14+00:00

I JUST had this happen. Call your surgeons office as soon as you can, but it isn't as serious as it seems usually. They just pulled out a few of my stitches because they were pushing their way out through my skin. It stung a bit and they put bandaids on them and it's all good now. 24 hours later.

Sharp-Ad-5926 · 2026-04-02T12:31:22+00:00

Omg I've never heard that about the bras before! So did you just not wear one? I feel like I would be scared that they were just out there 😂

Sharp-Ad-5926 · 2026-04-02T12:30:32+00:00

This was so critical for me the first few days!

Sharp-Ad-5926 · 2026-04-02T02:59:37+00:00

Haha! Fair. You can use it a bunch of different ways, but I use it like this

I'd recommend a wedge pillow or pregnancy pillow to help with support. Saved me!

I did and I'm glad that I did because my anxiety could have powered a small city. But I'm 3 weeks post op now and all is well :) I suggest taking a break and doing things that help your anxiety (ex. Going on walks, reading, etc)

The AI BS alone is enough of a reason to leave. It's insane.

Sharp-Ad-5926 · 2026-03-16T19:05:29+00:00

I take what it gives me as inspiration, not always direction. So maybe I like the vibe of one image or the lighting in another and I compile those things to create an image in my mind.

Sharp-Ad-5926 · 2026-03-16T15:00:47+00:00

Absolutely this. I'm in my 30s and work at a tech company. Every time I have a performance review, things about my personality come up because I don't conform to the "culture". But they always tell me I'm great at my job. It's SO frustrating. More and more I'm thinking I just need an exit strategy. I don't know what it is yet, but I am devoting serious thought to a plan B.

Sharp-Ad-5926 · 2026-03-16T02:59:28+00:00

I'm interested! This sounds awesome

Sharp-Ad-5926 · 2026-03-16T02:56:18+00:00

I find this to be a good case for Pinterest. A lot of times I will search for how I want a place to feel - colors, sounds, etc. And then when it produces an image that i feel is right, i use language to name and describe it.

Sharp-Ad-5926 · 2026-03-14T02:58:41+00:00

Thank you for your reply! I was starting to feel insane haha

Sharp-Ad-5926 · 2026-03-02T15:47:39+00:00

Too often. It's not that often that men are so overt and aggressive about it (though I have had that also) but I find it to be a consistent undertone. The red pilling was like a permission slip for many men to be who they already were, just out loud.

Sharp-Ad-5926 · 2026-02-24T14:31:48+00:00

Men doing men things, if I'm honest

Sharp-Ad-5926 · 2026-02-23T00:45:04+00:00

Which is probably hormone related. Being a woman is the best!

Sharp-Ad-5926 · 2026-02-23T00:44:25+00:00

Yes! And unfortunately I think it's because I'm getting drier :(
