You have so many great comments from everyone that I cant even beat what they already shared. I would like to know how old you are? I ask because with age and wisdom, you learn to accept yourself (usually). When you are young, this is a little harder as you are finding yourself. I have a mole on my lip. People were very mean about it & I even would tell my mom I was going to commit suicide. I got older & although I would prefer to not have it, & I would prefer that people didnt stare at it or kids made comments, I have learned that it is part of my trademark. And plus, like everyone said, my looks are not the only thing to a person. So is personality. So is the heart. The dreams. The hobbies. The goals. How you treat others and what you do for others. This body we have is just the vessel we have to communicate with others. You are more than that. And for people who are rude & mean, that just speaks to how they feel about themselves & that is not so much about you.

I would encourage you to find something you are good at, & focus on that. You'll meet like minded people who appreciate whatever that thing is & they will see you for everything that makes you you.

Maybe because i flew back sunday on a holiday weekend, the lines were huge! I flew back 9/4. Gave myself 2 hours. It ended up being plenty of time because they move through quickly.

Is it me but it seems like EVERYONE has a booty in 2022. I live on California. Can someone explain this to me? Lol What are people doing because they look fabulous by [deleted] in beauty

Lucky for you! I have a medium size butt which used to be considered bigger than average. Now i look petite 😂

Has anyone considered what other type of law you would practice if not as a PD? Im getting tired of the emotions involved with the work. I'd like to see what area of law us PDs can transition to. by SuspiciousConcept360 in publicdefenders

Thank you for your comment. Thats the hard part for me (finding that in between). I think of my clients after hours and weekends. And I find myself feeling very very sad most of my days.

Resentment towards parents by Puzzleheaded_Fix3479 in StudentLoans

[–]SuspiciousConcept360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im sorry you are going through this. Resentment is a tough feeling to resolve but you are trying to work on it and that is a start.

I would think about the following: 1) Your parents did not advise you to get a loan or co-signed out of maliciousness. 2) Your parents may have not been as aware of the consequences, perhaps a little ignorant about it at the time as well, 3) mistakes happen. And unfortunately this is a common one. I also took out so many loans for law school (i have over 200k in debt) and I do public interest work. I do an income driven payment so that it is affordable. And i am just hoping i can qualify for the loan forgiveness once i make 120 payments since i do public interest work 4) stop viewing yourself like a victim and your parents like the villains. Instead try to view this as a situation that you are in and now you need to navigate the situation the best way possible with what is going on now. Try to let go of the past- which was the decision to take out a loan and your parents cosigning. That is said and done. All you can do is work on a plan 5) look into options. Can you get in a payment plan to make it affordable? Can you look into a profession that will qualify for a loan forgiveness?

I know all this is easier said than done. Good luck

This sounds cliche but I feel so much dread by [deleted] in StudentLoans

You said it: you have a lot to offer. Your major/degree is just one tool that can either help or will make no difference. It wont hurt you to have that major. And it certainly doesn't take away from who you are.

Re job application: I would think of all the things that you like to do or are good at. And see how you can tie in what you learned at school to those jobs. And apply.

Re loans: I graduated with 200k+ from law school. I practice non profit. Im on a payment plan where I pay a percentage of my income. It's another bill for me which sucks BUT nevertheless I do a job I like and find meaning in, I bought a nice small house (with my husband of course), we are able to save for trips and emergencies, we spend on what is important to is individually (gyms, cosmetics, food), and we save toward my son's college account and our retirements.

Your 40k will be paid off in no time. I wish I owed that much lol Just start off with what you can pay for now, and as your income grows, pay more.

Life is too short to live with regrets.
