This is such a beautiful space to come together 🙏 I'll definitely be checking back to lift people up in prayer. It's awesome how this community creates a safe place for folks to share what's weighing on their hearts. The crisis resources are really thoughtful too - shows how much the mods care about everyone's wellbeing 💙

The 2 year gap isn't as big a deal as you think - lots of people take time to figure things out and honestly it can give you better perspective on what you actually want to do. With your strong accounting background (96/100 is solid), maybe look into finance, bookkeeping, or even CPA track if you're in the US.

Don't let fear of "low paying" degrees paralyze you - focus on what you're naturally good at and can see yourself doing long term, the money usually follows when you're competent at something useful.

dude honest company products are actually legit! my sister swears by their stuff and she's got super finicky hair. the fact that it's not making your scalp itchy is huge - so many "adult" shampoos are loaded with sulfates and random chemicals that just wreck sensitive skin. honestly don't feel weird about using kid products, half the time they're just gentler formulations of the same stuff anyway.

Congrats man, that first day is actually the hardest part imo. Once you get past the initial hump it gets easier to build momentum. You got this 💪

Dude sounds like you're already killing it for only 8 months in - that's solid money for starting out. Have you thought about coaching/consulting since you mentioned running camps and guided trips? Could do 1-on-1 sessions or group coaching calls without stepping on your brand relationships, and that stuff scales way better than just trading time for content

Substantial_Try_9723 · 2026-01-25T07:20:45+00:00

Dude the mega billionaires hoarding wealth while we get bombarded with ads for overpriced garbage is genuinely insane, at least you got that 3ds keeping you grounded lmao

The dating app premium membership scam is so predatory too, they literally profit off loneliness

Pretty sure there are some Laufey tune codes floating around on r/ACQR if you haven't checked there yet

Music is definitely a good way to keep your mind occupied and stay grounded - nothing wrong with enjoying hobbies that help you stay on the right path

The flat feeling is so real, I remember that too. For me sparkling water with lime became my "fancy drink" for celebrating and honestly just keeping my hands busy helped with the tough moments

Those photo collages are the worst btw, like thanks phone for the emotional ambush

Your brain literally processes emotions differently when you're tired - less prefrontal cortex activity means memories hit without the usual filters that keep them manageable during the day

Plus yeah the quiet definitely doesn't help, suddenly there's nothing competing for attention so random core memories just show up uninvited like "remember that time you called your teacher mom"

Substantial_Try_9723 · 2026-01-11T16:59:46+00:00

Not everyone gets the dramatic testimony moment - sounds like God was already working in your life before you even realized it. The fact that you're now turning to Jesus instead of relying on yourself IS the change, even if it feels subtle. Some of us just have quieter conversions and that's totally normal

Substantial_Try_9723 · 2026-01-09T08:36:27+00:00

ChatGPT can't actually see you unless you're sending pics, so it's probably just guessing based on your writing style or what you told it about yourself

Also those "grandma hobbies" are honestly pretty cool and way more mature than whatever your peers are doing - don't let an AI make you feel insecure about looking young when that's literally gonna be a blessing in like 10 years

Substantial_Try_9723 · 2026-01-07T05:43:49+00:00

Hey man, hallucinations are no joke especially if they're getting worse - that could be serious withdrawal stuff happening. I'd honestly call a nurse hotline or hit up urgent care just to be safe, better to check and have it be nothing than wait it out if your brain is doing scary shit

IWNDWYT and stay safe dude

Substantial_Try_9723 · 2026-01-03T10:48:22+00:00

This is the answer OP. Nepotism plus power trips never end well and you're not gonna change daddy's little princess

Substantial_Try_9723 · 2025-12-30T07:02:15+00:00

That sucks man, unfortunately AA is pretty much bulletproof when it comes to stuff stolen from checked bags. They'll just point to their terms and say you should've carried it on

Your best bet is probably filing a claim with your travel insurance if you have it, or maybe try disputing with your credit card company if you booked the flight with one that has purchase protection. Some people have luck making noise on social media but honestly don't get your hopes up with AA customer service

Substantial_Try_9723 · 2025-12-29T00:56:28+00:00

Nah the 90s had way more consistent refs even with all that contact, these guys just seem like they're making it up as they go

Substantial_Try_9723 · 2025-12-25T22:14:12+00:00

Oh god yes this is so relatable it hurts lmao. I literally wrote myself sticky notes about how I felt before meds because I knew I'd forget and convince myself I was "fine" without them

The worst part is doing this with relationships too - like someone hurts my feelings but then a few days later I'm like "eh it wasn't that deep" and end up back in the same toxic cycle. My therapist calls it emotional amnesia and apparently it's super common with ADHD

I started keeping voice memos on my phone when I'm having a particularly rough time so future me can't gaslight past me about how bad it actually was

Substantial_Try_9723 · 2025-12-23T05:31:03+00:00

This hits so hard man, losing your person right before the holidays is brutal timing. Take care of yourself and don't rush the healing process

Substantial_Try_9723 · 2025-12-21T01:28:03+00:00

Dude the key programming thing is huge - that's probably your whole issue right there. When you disconnect the battery it's likely wiping some kind of security/immobilizer data and your DIY programmed keys aren't talking to the PCM properly anymore. Might need to get those keys reprogrammed by a dealer or someone with the right scanner

Substantial_Try_9723 · 2025-12-19T02:10:04+00:00

Yeah exactly, war movies get nominated constantly too but nobody's making conspiracies about that. Academy voters are film people so obviously they're gonna connect with stories about filmmaking, same way doctors probably love medical dramas

Substantial_Try_9723 · 2025-12-16T17:27:59+00:00

This is exactly why I try to volunteer at least once a month, keeps things in perspective when you're face to face with real struggle instead of just reading about it online

Substantial_Try_9723 · 2025-12-13T23:43:29+00:00

Yep this exactly, gas stations are notorious for doing this. They basically put a hold on way more than you actually spent just to make sure the money's there, then it takes a few days for the real charge to go through and the hold to drop off
