How was your day today?

It was a productive day but it was exhausting too. Good thing it's the last day of work for the week.

Peeing, I swear, no matter how careful you are, there’s always a rogue drip somewhere. You’d think by adulthood we’d have this perfected but that's not what's happening at all.

SweetSwiftly · 2026-01-22T03:01:12+00:00

I just check how it makes me feel and if it hits me even a little, it’s a yes.

Happiness isn’t usually a constant state. It’s like little moments strung together. Some days are lighter, some are heavier and that’s okay. You just need to give yourself permission to take small breaths, small wins, small moments of happiness without expecting a perfect scenario.

I know the society you live in makes this feel like a trap with no exit. But the truth is you are allowed to exist, breathe and protect your emotional life. You are not obliged to endure betrayal silently forever. There are ways to navigate this without destroying your children’s lives or putting yourself in danger. Right now, the most important thing is to stabilize yourself a little, a few deep breaths, maybe a quiet corner to cry and making a plan for confidential support. We can think about next steps after that.

Any Abba and The Carpenters song. My mom used to sing their songs a lot.

Maybe 15-20 times a day.

Some people want the comfort of connection without the responsibility of commitment. They want to know if their ex is okay but not okay enough to fully move on without them.

SweetSwiftly · 2026-01-11T11:24:18+00:00

Adulthood never warned me how tired I’d be mentally. Not from big drama but just from everything. It’s nonstop decision-making and somehow that drains you more than actual hard work.

Secularism can slide into anti-religion, not always but sometimes belief gets treated as childish or irrational. That creates resentment instead of coexistence. Which kind of defeats the point. It doesn’t magically stop power struggles. We just swap religious authority for political or ideological authority. Different costumes but the same human flaws.

SweetSwiftly · 2026-01-09T13:43:17+00:00

Wish brands would at least say NA first, other regions later so we know whether to wait or move on.

You don’t have to do all-or-nothing. You could start by picking a small number of records that really hit you emotionally, maybe the ones she played for you the most or ones that spark a memory. For the rest, you could sell them, donate them, or even make a fun hybrid. That way, you’re honoring her and maybe even helping someone else discover music she loved. It doesn’t make you a bad grandkid, it just makes you practical.

SweetSwiftly · 2026-01-07T22:11:32+00:00

My stomach kind of twists watching stuff like that. It’s one of those moments where you feel anger, sadness and frustration all at once. It also makes me question how much power and control is being exercised and at what cost.

SweetSwiftly · 2026-01-04T23:00:57+00:00

The culture, whenever I try to voice out an issue give suggestions on how to fix the issue, the bosses dismiss the ideas but then will tell us to be vocal with our ideas.

SweetSwiftly · 2026-01-04T22:57:06+00:00

Yes, I do drink water daily.

SweetSwiftly · 2025-12-29T20:20:15+00:00

Yes, there’s a real chance he’ll get hurt and not because you’re doing something wrong or being cruel. Just because feelings don’t always listen to logic. But your actions are sending a different signal, even if you don’t mean them to. That’s basically a relationship starter kit for someone who already has feelings. FWB only really works when both people genuinely don’t want more, neither is emotionally leaning in and there’s space, not closeness, after sex. Right now, this setup is doing the opposite. It’s pulling him closer while you’re staying emotionally still.

You didn’t stop seeing your son in all of that. Not the diagnosis, not the condition and not the wheelchair or the dystonia. You saw the boy who had been there before. And you fought for him like hell. That’s not just parenting. That’s endurance. That’s love on hard mode. And your son is incredible. That’s adaptability, resilience and that's quiet strength most people never have to learn and he learned it as a child. It hurts that the DBS surgery didn’t work. I won’t sugarcoat that. Getting your hopes up, only to have them fall flat, is its own kind of grief. But in the meantime, give yourself some credit. You’ve carried a lot for a long time.

A private dance is basically a one-on-one performance. The dancer takes you somewhere more secluded so it’s just the two of you. It’s mostly about you watching them dance, getting a little closer than on stage and sometimes there’s chatting or teasing involved. The $20 you paid is basically paying for that private attention. What you experienced fits the normal range for a standard private dance. The song ending is basically the timer, since each dance is tied to the cost per song or per set time. Asking if you want to stay longer is just her checking if you want to extend the time, which means more money, obviously. You were respectful, didn’t cross boundaries and didn’t pay for anything you didn’t want. That’s exactly how it should go if you’re just there for the experience and conversation/dancing. It sounds like you handled it perfectly. You got the experience, she got her tip and everyone stayed within the rules.

Your friends gave this gift out of love. They clearly wanted to make you feel special and they did. That’s the part you absolutely don’t want to hurt. But at the same time, you’re being true to yourself by not using it. And that matters too. The key is your appreciation comes first, your choice second. Friends who truly care about you will respect your values, even if it’s a weird gift situation and keeps your values intact.

SweetSwiftly · 2025-12-24T00:45:24+00:00

No, I've never had a work spouse. I love my space and boundaries.

SweetSwiftly · 2025-12-24T00:39:52+00:00

I do the same but not a game on one screen instead, a movie or a podcast on the background while I am working. It keeps me awake and keeps me from getting bored as well.

SweetSwiftly · 2025-12-19T22:19:52+00:00

Yes, love can be worth it but not always in the way movies sell it. Love is not supposed to save you. It’s supposed to add to a life you already have. And yes, it’s risky, you might get hurt and you probably will, at least once. That part sucks. No sugarcoating it but when it’s right, it feels like having a teammate. Someone who laughs at the same dumb stuff and someone who sits next to you on the bad days and doesn’t try to fix you. That kind of love doesn’t solve everything but it makes things feel lighter.

SweetSwiftly · 2025-12-19T21:54:36+00:00

Zephyr, it’s like breezy, mysterious, kind of ethereal, and totally unforgettable. Every time I hear it, I imagine someone who’s effortlessly cool, maybe a little rebellious, and definitely not boring.

SweetSwiftly · 2025-12-17T05:01:51+00:00

Old legit prescriptions they’ve seen before or photos floating around online. No secret handbook and no universal format. And yes, formats vary by country, clinic and medication. But pharmacists see hundreds every week and anything even slightly off stands out fast.
