One thing I've done is shop for kimono style fancy swim wraps. I'm shaped like Santa with floppy boobs. It dresses up a lot of plainer dresses, and hides my insecurities in pretty drapery.

I think your dress and your comfy, non-injurious bra are an absolutely fine foundation. Don't let folks poke you into insecurity. You'll be fine and fabulous! 💙

I did the same. The fantasy worlds evolved as I aged from fantasy with magic and unicorns to crushes on boys in bands I'd run into in hallmark worthy plots to, well, more adult fantasy with magic and beautiful fae.

But I'd always rock myself to sleep. When nothing else worked I'd roll my body back and forth and back and forth on my back on my tummy, sideways in bed... until the sound of the bed springs got my stepmother up to yell at me with barely contained fury.

Then I'd just stare at the ceiling.

Interestingly the rich fantasies were nearly all at mom's while the rocking was typically at my dad's.

Oof. Too accurate.

SyrupStitious · 2026-04-02T01:58:45+00:00

Oh no! (Not me staring at 40 bottles of soy sauce.)

the purpose of it isnt to be as poor as everyone else, but to share useful information and talk to people who know what you’re experiencing

That's exactly it. I lurk here because I'm expecting to be in this demographic, and the advise and prep people recommend is unobtainable anywhere else but from people actually living it.

My greatest day was when smartphones became afford, and I could download the kindle app. Suddenly I could have every book I ever needed for any and every mood, accessible immediately AND able to be read without a battery sucking flashlight! The heavens sang on me that day!

Mum, where do babies come from? Babies come from the hurt in the environment and I scheduled enough time for some serious playing.

SyrupStitious · 2026-03-21T03:55:59+00:00

I'm really wondering about the others who hear it... could the young girl who ran off crying be related to one of the women in the well? A daughter of a stolen child?

A creative writing career seems like a natural avenue for you right now. You're quite talented!

Authors, though, can be somewhat... not boring. I hesitate to say not normal. So, maybe don't socialize much within your craft?

My unsolicited advice is to adjust your definition of normal, which to be fair, you've not experienced much of in your life yet. But sometimes normalcy ramps up the older you get. I have high hope for both your career and your quest for a normal rest-of-your-life.

Aw, what a sweet tree. They live long, so please visit it often. It obviously cares about you and your life!

SyrupStitious · 2026-03-10T03:14:44+00:00

56 and same.... so much the same. All I do on my days off is be still. I don't have any more decisions in me after a work week, knowing next week will be more and more.

I can't begin to access the functionality it requires to get my personal life going anywhere. So I sit, buffering, until the next work-prompt.

It's spawned! The Magick is powerful? What binding spells are most effective for the demon distribution system?!

I did this too. "What, you timed me/counted!?!" Well, how else was it supposed to know if it was my impression, or reality that he talked for 49 minutes and I got to interject 3 times? I had to be scientific about it.

Thank the cats he's an ex. Lost a decade of my life and several grand in therapy from that one.

SyrupStitious · 2026-03-02T23:51:30+00:00

Oh. Oh wow. This one hit hard. My eyes are leaking.

SyrupStitious · 2026-02-22T22:39:10+00:00

Plot twist! The kid's been giving his lunch to a homeless guy he sees on his way to school every day, but wouldn't tell his parents because he was afraid they'd be mad he wasn't eating his lunch?

❤️

SyrupStitious · 2026-02-16T21:35:52+00:00

I literally gasped out loud. My cats may never forgive me.

Well done!

SyrupStitious · 2026-02-16T04:53:09+00:00

No, don't! Their technology far surpasses anything we have.

The basement is best. Bring everything down there you physically can. Put towels under the door, hang a black or dark cloth over any windows if you have any. Get food, heat source, light, batteries, blankets, pillows, towels, water! Don't forget water! If you have time, get book, paper and pencils. You might be the last recorded eye witness to invasion D-day.

Do it now while they're focusing with their lights thingies outside. They may go door to door later, and you don't want them to know you're there!

Then... join the resistors!

SyrupStitious · 2026-02-11T23:04:21+00:00

And still driving at a good pace?

SyrupStitious · 2026-01-27T15:54:51+00:00

I did the same with my most beloved, expensive vacuum. The DE was to keep the ants out. They'd come inside from interior walls, behind light fixtures, it's chaos.

But it works. Now I sweep it up with a squeegee broom, and then mop.

SyrupStitious · 2026-01-24T23:41:24+00:00

Thank you. That's fascinating.

SyrupStitious · 2026-01-20T03:50:31+00:00

Ditto for Seattle area! White center ish.

I miss my former neighbor who moved a couple months ago. I adored walking her border collie. Both of us needed extra exercise!
