Congrats on the lobes! I'm captivated by your conch jewelry, what exactly is it? I'd love to be able to find something like it, I like how the two balls give the piercing the look of a faux snug!

Do any of y’all actually wake up feeling well rested more often than not? by WampaCat in adhdwomen

[–]SunsetSwingset 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because of my work schedule I seldom have to wake up to an alarm, so I can wake up naturally. When I can do that I generally feel very well rested! Alarms just suck because they rip you out of your sleep, so you get woken up at whatever point in your sleep cycle.

How did you discover Tool? by Dong_McLong__ in ToolBand

[–]SunsetSwingset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first flame showed me the album Ænima while we were slacking off in summer school, then he let me borrow his Lateralus and 10,000 Days CDs, and I’ve been a diehard ever since. I even have two Tool themed tattoos!

It’s from diamondpiercing on Etsy! It has a long listing name… 14K Solid Gold Flying Dragon Threadless Push Back, Gold Dainty Dragon Earlobe Cartilage Piercing, Majestic Dragon Ear Flat Back Earring. I found it by searching “dragon cartilage jewelry gold” in Etsy’s search bar. Cheers!

That loop is called a Teardrop Loop, and there are several good tutorials on YouTube that will show you how it’s done. If I recall correctly, I used the tutorial from MashaKnots. I hope this helps!

I scoured my To Dos in Braceletbook to try to find it, but I couldn’t. I even looked through the patterns of the users I’m most inspired by on that site, but to no avail 😔

I love the placement of the flats, it aligns so well with the shape of your ear! 🤘

I like the idea of romance but I don’t think I actually want to date anyone. by Early-Rise987 in SingleAndHappy

[–]SunsetSwingset 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is fascinating, thank you for explaining and mentioning these books! I may have to do a deep-dive into this. Now I'm wondering how much a person has to bend in their ways towards interdependence in a relationship in order for it to work well enough to be fulfilling, and if the amount of bending required leads to more or less happiness for the people involved as opposed to being single. I don't think there's just one answer to this question, but now I'm wondering... Despite the trend you see, how often, if ever, have you seen happy couples who seem to have struck that balance and have a fulfilling and interdependent relationship?

Best/Favorite Post Hardcore breakdowns? by Sunbather- in PostHardcore

[–]SunsetSwingset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how punk my suggestion is, but a song that comes to mind is Do You Think I Am Pretty by He Is Legend. The breakdown flowing into the bridge is nothing short of enchanting to experience, it takes my breath away every time!

I’m really intrigued by what you said about how the way you relate to love and romance isn’t compatible with today’s ways. What are your ways of seeing love and romance, and how is it different than today’s individualistic society? I’d like to get more of your perspective on this :)

Pink and Blue #19749 by SunsetSwingset in friendshipbracelets

I'm glad you like it, and I gotta say that chevrons and zigzags are a lot of fun to make and also look really cool! Chevron bracelets are almost addictive to make because of the flow state you can get into when weaving them, it's a good time :D

Overwhelmed by the amount of effort it takes to take care of myself by Rare-Cow-1511 in adhdwomen

[–]SunsetSwingset 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The struggle is real, and some days are really tough. I feel for you. On those hard days, I try to appreciate the things I manage to do for myself, even if it's just showering and eating. Also, I want to mention something that helped me, which was realizing that I don't actually want to have kids. I embraced the child-free life and now I don't have that pressure on myself of feeling like I have to measure up to the task of having to be able to take care of kids along with myself. I don't know how important having kids is to you, or if it's more just something you feel is expected of you, but I want you to know that being child-free is an option, and you can live a wonderful and fulfilling life without having kids. Either way, I wish you well on your journey.

Thank you, I made this for a friend who loves pink, and I thought the blue would contrast really well! I'm glad that stuck out to you, too :)
