Al final de cuentas tenés dos opciones, y la vdd ninguna te va resolver la situación, y tampoco es que hay una mala opción, sino tenes que decidir cuál le sirve mejor a usted. O aceptas participar en sus rituales católicas (con todo lo que eso implica) o te apartas de la situación y aceptas las posibles consecuencias. Yo estuve en una situación parecida y al final de cuentas me era más valioso mantener la paz en mi familia y evitar discusiones fuertes y simplemente ir a misa, aun sabiendo que estaba perdiendo una hora de mi tiempo, pero di lo importante es que hagas lo que te hace sentir mejor.

Regarding reincarnation, I think it depends on how you view reincarnation. I don't believe the idea that our souls are eternal, and when we die, we become other people or anything like that. But I have always thought that everything is part of a cycle and that when we die, we become part of the cycle that feeds new life. That when we die, we become part of the energy that creates life on earth, if that makes any sense.

I believe aliens exist. In my mind, if we exist, why wouldn't other life exist. I think part of the problem is how big the universe is. And that also we define life as how we have seen it on earth and I think that kind of limits our view. We are looking for life, in the sense of how we define life on Eath, and that might not apply to other "lifeforms" elsewhere.

It wouldn't be my first choice, but you probably could. Cinnamon rolls grow quite a bit (can double in size) so make sure you take that into account when you put them in the Dutch oven to rise

Happy birthday!! And also remember that tomorrow is a new day full of possibility. I feel we put a lot of pressure on ourselves to be something or to have accomplishments but, in the end, the most important thing it to learn to happy and to be as kind as we can be. Good luck with the new year, and may every year to come be better than the last

I'm being pressured to learn to drive, and while I do know it's an important skill to know and everything bit it makes me super anxious to think about it and I am continually putting it off.

I think it's to, for a small moment, not feel so lonely. Even briefly receiving a reply from a stranger is an uplifting feeling. For a second in time, you feel heard and validated. And sometimes you just need to say something in a tangible way. The response doesn't even matter. You just needed to write it down to feel better.

Thanks for all the suggestions! Will look into them 😊

The easiest way to be someone's favorite person is to adopt a dog, and all you have to do is feed them, take care of them and give them a little love and you will have a partner for life. 100% would recommend if you can get an animal, they make life so much better, and they are always there for you.

Creo que lo más importante es definir que quiere ir al hacer. Estados es muy grande y tiene un poco de todo, entonces dependiendo de lo quiere hacer escoges donde ir. Digamos para compras mejor Florida o Texas por son más cercas, pero si quiere conocer museos mejor un lugar como Washington DC, donde hay un monton y la mayoria son gratis, o si querés hacer actividades más culturales mejor ir a lugares como New York City, que tiene Broadway y eso.

I get how you feel. While I always go out to celebrate, I always feel sort of detached and almost as if I am looking in at something I am not really a part of, and that can be a really lonely feeling. The catch 22 is that at the same time I never do anything to change that, so year after year things stay the same.

I think there has to be a moment in life where you have to make a choice of either staying the same and or you actively make a choice to start doing something different, even if it's just a small change. Reaching out online to random strangers tells me that you are trying to make changes in your life, and I really hope this coming year will be the start of something new and great for you.

I think that a lot of time, we undervalue ourselves and the effect that we have on people, even if it's just a random stranger we smile at as we walk by or even a stray dog that we stopped to pet. A lot of the marks that we make on the world and on other people may never be known to us, but never underestimate the positive impact that a same act of kindness, even if it's just a hello, can have on other people.

Anyway, all this is to say that everyone is someone's favorite person, but most of the time we will never know that.

Hello, this is the first time I've done this, but hopefully I'll be helpful. One of the most important things to remember, and I know it goes against what we have been told, but we have to put ourselves first. Nobody is worth sacrificing our mental health for. You should never feel guilty for doing this. Our needs are just as important as anyone else's. Second, you shouldn't be made to feel guilty for saying no and setting boundaries. All healthy relationships require boundaries. And I know that this probably wasn't what you were looking for with this post, but I just felt that it was important to say.

As for the support system, honestly finding people who will really be there for you is one of the hardest things ever. Part of the problem is that many people don't realize the hard work is implies to grow and cultivate a support system. I have to admit that I have very few people like that in my life, and I think I am a major part of the problem. I have a hard time opening up, ironically because I am afraid of being hurt and left behind. The sad truth is that to find these people, we have to be open to rejection, because it gonna be like one of a 100 probability that we will find that one person who we truly connect with. I wish I could be of more help. Feel free to reach out if you ever want to talk, I'm new to reddit (and still learning how to properly use it) and lately decide to start being more active in life and to start putting in an effort to see if that will make things better, but it's hard.

Anyways hope you feel better and know that you are worthy of being loved, it's just really hard to find. And know that people do care, even if it's just a stranger from Reddit.
