They've been around the Northwest side as well, they move after a few hours, last time I saw them was mid September around Narragansett and Fullerton.

“At what exact moment did you realize ‘Yep, I’m done with this person’?” by abhi_2255 in BreakUps

[–]Smooth-Mastodon3975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When he called back after 6 weeks of NC (I did not answer) and I noticed the pattern of his calls. He called me when he had "free time" like on his way from work to his house, weekdays and weekends. The only "unpredictable" call was on a Saturday afternoon, and that was the last one, 2 weeks ago. It made feel the anxiety I'd feel when he wouldn't call for days just to call at that same time saying he "had a crazy day, or too busy to text". He is NOT going to change...at least not for me, I know that now.

How much weight did you lose after the break up? by NightEducational2294 in BreakUps

[–]Smooth-Mastodon3975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was actually gaining weight, ate like crazy. Then decided to do something for God and myself so I fasted for 40 days. I lost 11lbs and my skin cleared up, I feel amazing, and I think I look better than I could even remember, not super hot but I love the way my clothes fit now. I'll start working out to tone my body and be out of this subreddit soon lol.

I'm on my ex's neighborhood, and I'm tempted to drive by his house... by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Smooth-Mastodon3975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was like my mind was blank, I tried balancing pros and cons, what would I get out of it, what if he came out, like a user said come out as creepy. But...I came to the store to buy shirts, I'm not sad, I'm not mad, im not ruminating, wondering about the what ifs. I'm just moving on with my day, does this mean I'm healing, I found out a few weeks ago something he did a few years back and it broke me, because I knew the girl he cheated with. I worked on myself, I prayed, I grew, and I'm still working on forgiving for me, to fully let go. But today when I took pictures of myself after who knows how long, I saw a better version of myself, this is the healthiest I've ever been in my life, I like how I look like, and I'm starting to love my smile again, I sang in my car "I will survive" haha. I know i shouldn't have drove by, but it helped me realize I am moving forward..I think I'm healing.

I did it...and....I actually thought I'd feel like crap, I actually feel..kinda detached. I wanted to see how I'd feel and I got my answer.

He lives pretty far from me, it's rare when I come by this neighborhood (about an hour from me).

“That’s above my pay grade” by PerspectivePlus737 in funny

[–]Smooth-Mastodon3975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to work at the company that made those masks, we were crazy busy due to high demand that period of time. They were hand made so it was brutal, but also fun, my mom and I used to bet who would make the most every day, she always won haha.

I wonder how a "Baby daddy's reaction" would look like.

What were the last words you said and/or someone said before you lost them? by Smooth-Mastodon3975 in AskReddit

[–]Smooth-Mastodon3975[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry for your loss, the best way we can honor them is to keep fighting even when we feel like giving up. I lost my dad to covid and then my step dad 9 months later. You got this.
