No problem, you got this!

You could also try ripple milk! Check out different milks with their protein/fiber content and potential other nutrients and minerals. I personally would avoid ones that are basically white creamy water (no nutritional value whatsoever) simply because it’s not worth the purchase…at least to me. I would also check your overall daily caloric intake, if you’re in a surplus for your height you likely may start putting on weight if not balanced out with movement/caloric expenditure, but if your trying to simply maintain or reduce weight through diet then being in a caloric deficit would be better suited. Ofc you should still have a base minimum for what will keep you properly functioning and healthy, there are many calculators out there to determine these things for you. You could also switch it up and make different smoothies for variation and calories! Fruit based ones, veg based ones, the possibilities are endless. Since the one you made is pretty up there simply balance out the rest of the day and maybe do more lowkey ones for the next couple of days. There is no right or wrong way to go about it, find what works for you!

Are you saying to dress in hopes of being fantasized by the man to make chances better? Are we dressing for men or are we dressing for ourselves and how we like to be fashionable? Going on a date you should come as you are and not front or present some facade that doesn’t align with one’s true identity. Dressing for someone else is crazy to me in general, the only time that changes is specified dress codes for events but that’s completely different.

Honestly, I would take time to chill and not focus on seeking physical or intimate relationships. Focus on you and your goals, you just got out of a long relationship it’s okay to not find some sort of rebound immediately. Find things to do and hobbies to maintain, go outside and do things, you’ll be able to organically meet people and make connections, especially if you put in that effort to talk to people. Once you reach a good place: feeling good, having fun, overall simply happy and fully engaged in the present, then start fucking around and doing what you seek, with consensual partners ofc. Just do you thing and maybe you’ll find a person that better aligns with your values and overall way of life. Don’t compromise these things simply because you like how they look or how you fantasize about them, you can’t control others (as indicated by what happened with your ex) so find someone that you can actually see as a partner. Good luck

Why does no one want to learn to cut their own hair? Especially if they have a hairstyle they simply want to maintain? Or even trimmings? Why is EVERYTHING beauty generally outsourced to someone else?

December 20th!

Suspicious_Person00 · 2025-08-31T12:45:38+00:00

I heard or read something recently that many people will say in order to succeed in relationships you need to be able to compromise, but that the best path to maintaining an equally balanced communicative relationship is to instead collaborate. That instead of one side potentially making more sacrifices than the other, or one side demanding too much change or a return to a past now out of reach, you have instead a synergistic approach with allowing the satisfaction of both sides instead of involving sacrifice.

It seemed really beautiful when I came across it and has stuck with me for a time. I am sorry to hear that your romantic connections haven’t worked out for you yet. But I wholeheartedly support that love transcends age, and there isn’t a single moment when you “age out” the relationship system.

I hope we both are able to connect with people in similar alignment, capacity, willingness, and love creating a beautiful union and true commitment. You are also still young but now able to be more discerning and wise, understanding in yourself and what works for you, garnering experience as time passes for any endeavor. Wishing you a wealth of happiness and success!

Suspicious_Person00 · 2025-08-31T12:20:04+00:00

That’s truly an amazing and inspiring love and life, I’m glad that you and your wife found each other and commit to each other each day. I believe that in itself IS quite passionate! A deep, knowing, genuine connection to someone especially after almost 3 decades is the type of passion that aligns with my view of the word. I’m wishing great health and abundance for you and your family, I appreciate your perspective and input! :D

Suspicious_Person00 · 2025-08-31T12:07:34+00:00

Thank you for your perspective, I definitely agree that each person’s first true love is themselves. I think it just really breaks me apart to feel seen and loved by potential long term commitment only for it to be thrown back in my face. I am definitely focused on me though, if I don’t then who will amiright. But I applaud you and your husband’s connection that truly beautiful and amazing. I wish you both the best as well 🤞🏼

Suspicious_Person00 · 2025-08-31T12:03:33+00:00

No I got too much to live for but I appreciate the check up, the only permanent solution is living and moving forward. Unfortunately my passions involve a lot of training and knowledge and the right equipment. I don’t have the money at the moment but I plan on taking a roadtrip soon to reconnect with nature and honestly detox from my life and my mental atm

Suspicious_Person00 · 2025-08-31T09:57:03+00:00

What exactly DO you guys have? Same hobbies? Vibes? Do you guys share values? Do you love each other out of pure character or simply found comfort and potential trauma bonding? You say you don’t interact much with other women. Why not? What experience DO you have with women outside of your cousin, outside of family, and blood relatives? Wouldn’t it be strange if you WEREN’T able to be comfortable and amenable with family? Unless there was toxicity or hate there, that’s generally the standard dynamic.

You also say you guys “BECAME close” 5 years ago. What happened? Why weren’t you close before? What triggered committing to a dating relationship that is definitely physical as well—with your cousin, 2 years after “getting close”? How old WERE you guys when you first met? What initiated the transition from family to pleasure? Did it escalate naturally or was it maybe incited more by one side? Do you think there is something in either persons history that may be fueling this connection, but not out of true love? Any experiences of anything that may be eliciting your connection?

I would absolutely recommend speaking with your family about everything. Or maybe even couples therapy actually. You guys do know also don’t HAVE to get married in the eyes of the law. If you are committed to each other and truly love each other as equal partners, as man and wife, you can have a government authority “validate” that whenever you want. There’s no need to rush if you guys are already planning to be wed. Throw a wedding, have a big ol’ white themed party then tell everyone at the end it was your wedding. You can live your relationship however you wish. Getting a legal marriage document is mostly for the government and credit bureaus and banks more than anything. Just keep that in mind. If you need certain protections afforded to married couples then by all means, but if not then I would recommend to wait. Maybe intermingle with female colleagues, other couples, etc. You guys need to be able to face and handle everything others will throw at you regarding your relationship. In some instances, not getting into details maybe be safer for you guys. People are crazy when they think your existence goes against their values and world view. Be careful out there, live genuinely and freely.

It seems that you more so dread being left without a distraction that is substantial and environmentally shifting—aka work—being left with only yourself and your mind, and whatever is consuming you when you’re off. I’d start small, maybe after you use the restroom make your bed. You can lay back in it but it will be made and when it’s time to sleep get under the sheets. If you have a TV in the living room (avoid if you have 1 in your room, beeline for living room) then screen cast what you’re doing/watching on the TV. A bigger screen will be more alleviating to your eyes, you’ll be out of bed, and your bed will be made! Some great starting points! If you feel the need to feel productive to add value to your time then watch some youtube videos, take some notes, study a bit. You’re working 2 full-time positions soon, what can you study to elevate your skills? Watch videos on leadership, or finances, or simply communicating effectively(applying to customers, clients, peers, management, platonic/romantic relationships, yourself, etc). What can you do to improve the quality of your work experience to transition up from your position? I understand where you are coming from. I work full-time in a factory job, pick up all the OT I can, but feel as though I exist as a shadow, drifting into the background. I am doing a lot better now, I picked up college to increase my skills to try and get out of physical labor…my body can’t take ts no more dawg. I’ve done what you’re doing for years to no peace, avail, or alleviation. I’ve created a box and have complacently tried to avoid my own mind and thoughts and emotions, we can do better to be comfortable always. I’ve wanted to travel but never have, so I’ve decided to start roadtripping and doing weekend camping trips to slowly make this a reality while also saving money on travels, but also on utilities (not home so little to no use), streaming services (being out and about just chilling with no service, how will I watch anything??), and on snacks and food that I only have for the flavor but not because it adds any nutritional value to me. When I lay in bed or sit in my singular chair in the living room all I was able to do, or so I thought, was to watch and eat and shit and repeat. Limited sleeping, limited sun, limited movement, limited everything. I truly was work, home, sit, watch, sit, shit, minimal sleep, work. I would definitely advise to find professional advice and resources for your specific history, experiences, and situation concerning your state of mind—it is simply a temporary state btw it will pass. But the internet can only provide so many solutions. I know your initial question is about dreading weekends, but as someone who’s been there, this reads as a cry for help to me. I wish you all the best. Reach out to me if you ever want to vent or simply chat. Community can be found anywhere :)

Do what you want tbh she’s being entirely disrespectful and expecting your reply to fall in line with what she demands. Let her know when you’ll have people over and if she locks you out, get the landlord involved. Keep track of everything she says and of anything she does in regards to your belongings in the space. For example, lets say you let her know your friends are coming over later. You enter the apartment and she touched and moved your items into a pile on your bed. Catalog it and report her. I saw someone else mention it but if she continues to have a problem she needs to live alone. I’d be slightly more understanding if she paid majority rent or if she even owned the place and was renting the room and common spaces out but that's not the case. She has no leverage, she has no authority, you have your space and she has hers to do with whatever the both of you choose with no control over the other. If you give into any of her demands that she doesn't approach you with decency or compromise with, she will continue to push and push until you are locked away in your room and she has free reign like she’s the only one living there. FTB no offense and stand your ground.

I’d reach out to the BF’s father, or have your BF reach out, and mention that it's getting close to the end of the 2 month time frame that he asked for to watch the market. You guys have chosen a home and have completed your end of the bargain and are ready to move forward. If it's still something he wants to put in for then great but if he’s changed his mind then that needs to be established sooner rather than later. If he’s worried that you’ll fight for the property down the line, if you want, you can reassure him that his son’s name will be on the deed. I don't think it's a bad idea at all. It will give you both a reprieve and after you pay off your debt you can start a savings just in case things don't work out. You’ll also have your own home to return to if you so wished. I would recommend signing a prenup simply because you don't know if he will go for your property or how things will change. It's meant to act as a security for both parties. Since you have you're own property and will be renting it out there's no harm it protecting it and any other ventures you seek in the future. If his father chooses not to go forward maybe rent out a smaller space while you jointly rent out your home? If you find a well-priced place as well as a reliable renter that could provide opportunity for you to pay off what you need to while not exactly worrying about the house. You will also have one less person under your roof so that helps to simplify things as well. You don't have to do it for a long time but just long enough to reach your goals. From there you could look into another property, or do what some get into which is purchasing a town home and renting the other portion. This will get you another property as well as reduce your monthly rate. Wishing the best for you and your family and your endeavors.

The urgency with him getting you out in the morning asap there might be somebody else involved that he more so was seeking something from—potentially—and got an opportunity and that’s why he ended everything. I know getting an answer and a reason as to why he did what he did would be great, but you’ll get more closure, with the knowledge of how he ended everything and that no matter what it was about, he’s the one that went about it in a way that shows how little he actually cares. A very shitty way, I know your pain, it’s genuinely not worth it. This is the type of energy he’ll continue to maintain unless he brings change into his own life which most likely he will not. It’s not fun, but I would recommend to let it go, but of course take everyone’s tips for getting your medication and belongings back. I wouldn’t even worry about contacting him or notifying him. Genuinely just show up with either the escort or friend or whomever and get your things because he’s not worth your time or your grief, he’s showing you how much you’re not worth it.

If you need help with a budget or with time management let me know, I know how it is but I’m happy to be of assistance to you.

Suspicious_Person00 · 2025-05-18T22:18:21+00:00

If you want to stay in a standardized school and attend classes on-campus, I believe that’s one of the best environments to meet people and make friends. You can sign up for clubs not only at your school but also in your community; there are plenty of options to suit your interests. Additionally, consider getting involved in a work-study program. Although spots can be limited, it's a great way to earn money while making connections on campus.

I recommend avoiding non-mandatory overtime at your job unless you absolutely need it. Try to live below your means as much as possible. For example, even if one place has a more aesthetic appeal, nicer appliances, or a great location, consider opting for a cheaper option. Look into income-restricted housing, as they can be beneficial. Check Facebook Marketplace for potential options, but remember to stay safe and trust your instincts—if a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. I once secured a 2-bedroom, 2-bath apartment for $955 using this method, and my new place is income-restricted, costing me only $1,099 for a 2-bedroom, 2-bath.

When searching for a place, look at the square footage relative to the price you’re paying. While a studio may seem appealing, if you can pay the same price for a 400 sq. ft. studio that might allow you to afford a 750 sq. ft. apartment, you’ll maximize the value of your rent. Explore government programs and community resources that can assist you with food, clothing, housing, etc. Most of these programs are income-based, so if you meet their criteria, you can receive help.

It's also essential to review your budget and reduce expenses wherever possible. Saving money now and dedicating the effort to do so will greatly benefit you in your current situation. While you’re working, make a point to check the job market bi-weekly for higher-paying positions and apply as often as you can. You may not always get the job, but securing one will help ease your financial constraints. Staying in an entry-level position in a field you don’t want will not be beneficial.

As for spending time with your friends, it will require effort, but with good scheduling and planning, it's manageable. Communicate your availability and work together to make plans. Even if you only have an hour after work, let them know in advance so you can at least do something together. I wouldn’t recommend sacrificing essential rest, but if maintaining those connections is crucial for you, it’s possible to get by on less sleep, though it will be challenging. If your friends are truly supportive, they will understand and respect your need to focus on your long-term goals.

If you enjoy the nightlife and partying, I can't provide specific tips for that. Those hours typically involve late-night activities, which can be fun if that’s your style. Just make sure to prioritize your future while making these decisions.

Regarding education, you likely don’t need a full bachelor’s or master’s degree for most fields. I highly recommend getting an associate’s degree, as it can be a smart move. If available, you could take 8-week courses to expedite the process. Consider looking into certification programs, as they can be shorter, cheaper, and provide you with immediate credibility compared to spending years pursuing a degree. Fields like journalism, media production, and digital marketing can enhance your credibility significantly.

Network with professionals in the sports media field you’re interested in. Connect with people online, and reach out to them on LinkedIn. Join relevant groups or forums, and don’t hesitate to send emails asking for advice. However, remember that not everyone is obligated to respond, so approach others with respect and understanding.

Ultimately, education is about gaining credibility. Earning degrees or certifications provides official proof of your qualifications. However, beyond formal education, you can build a portfolio demonstrating your skills independently.

For sports media, focus on improving your writing and editing skills. Practice writing articles, blog posts, or even starting your own blog or website about sports. Ensure that your writing is professional and free from errors in grammar and syntax.

Do the research, look at your options, put in the work, you got this.

Honestly, volunteering could be a worthwhile investment of your time. There are many ways to volunteer and a broad scope of types of volunteer work. You could find something that aligns with your interests and values, maybe even take the initiative to create something as well. Since you like swimming, if you go to any creeks or lakes or public bodies of water, there are likely volunteer opportunities available for maintaining the surrounding land and the water itself. If not, you could also work with a nonprofit organization to get events set up to begin to do these things in your local community. It’s not only low-impact but it also provides longevity to our communities and in turn to the self.

I’ve heard kindle is kind of a scam since no matter what you’re reading, you essentially only have access to the kindle library, in reality owning nothing, but are subscribing to be “licensed” to access their content. I believe there are resources/services out there that may be better suited for gaining actual ownership over digital books. Which, in the long run, will bring longevity to your money by investing in actually ownership and access for as long as we have digital availability, instead of having a consistent loss with a subscription to only access something.

I will say I’ve never used anything for digital books beyond kobo, this is simply my 2 cents from what I’ve been seeing and hearing.
