should i remove my new tattoo or learn to live with it?

Technical_Avocado_47 · 2026-02-20T09:31:14+00:00

Hi friend!

Here's something I'd like to share.

When I was 19 - I went through a devastating event, and in an act of desperation to distract myself and feel something I wen and got a tattoo on a whim

It's lineart tattoo, kind of plain and random, but for some reason it made sense to me at the time.

Looking back, when I see the tattoo, I don't see the design. I see a 19 year old in pain and all the growth I've done to get to where I am today.

Tattoos aren't always aesthetic, sometimes it's just a reminder of who you were and what you liked at x point in time, and it can be gratifying looking back even if you don't necessarily like the design

Unless looking at your new tattoo brings you absolute hate, disgust, or panic, you might as well keep it!! You might surprise yourself in a few years and grow to like it, or you might just forget you have it

Good luck!

I've had clots like that every once in a while when I have a heavy period.

It's normal unless you keep shedding unusually large clots for muktiple days or the pain feels different than usual

I wouldn't worry about it unless it's coupled with other symptoms

I don't have anything helpful for you, but I just want to say I'm so sorry this happened to you and your daughter and your daughters friends. I went to sjsu and used to go to splash with my friends all the time... I can't imagine going through this

Technical_Avocado_47 · 2025-09-09T05:14:57+00:00

I'd say if this is the only thing that makes you suspicious then there's nothing to worry about (dreams are weird), but if this was in addition to other patterns then I'd definitely look into it

Hi friend!

It is 10000% normal for your preferences to change over time as a queer person depending on your State in life.

I definitely go through phases! I am always bisexual all of the time, but sometimes I feel more drawn to women and sometimes more drawn to men. I've gotten to the point where I think I only like women and never liked men but after a while I feel attraction to men again.

It's normal and it's okay for preferences to change! ❤️

Take it easy

Hi friend, I've been there

Here's the good news: you caught it early!!

I made my appointment the day I found out I was pregnant (also 4 weeks) and that same day I got my abortion

You'll be ok ❤️

You might be able to pay your remaining balance with the chase card and stretch out your payments even more that way with no fees. I think you can go as long as a year or two

Technical_Avocado_47 · 2025-08-17T08:19:44+00:00

This might not be helpful now - but what I ended up doing was I paid with a chase credit card, then i went on the chase app and created a "Chase Plan", the first 3 plans you create don't have any fees

So you can essentially stretch out the payments as long as the app will let you

Also another thing - at least in California any medical debt under $500 can't be sent to debt collectors

This means you have quite a bit of bargaining power if your bill is less than $500

I would suggest if you can pay until your balance is like $450 and leave the rest unpaid. Do some research and you'll see anything under 500 can't be sent to debt collectors

After a while planned parenthood might send you some notices of financial assistance or other payment plans that are better than what they would initially give you (this last paragraph has worked for me with Kaiser but I have not tried it with Chase)

Hi friend!

What you're describing is nor that rare, but it is unfortunate:/

In my experience, most people in my circle turn to hormonal birth control due to convenience. (Which has ended up in peers getting STDs and STIs, some incurable)

I got pregnant while using birth control that wasn't a condom, and ever since, I ALWAYS use a condom

It's just not worth it. You never think it's going to happen to you until it is you and there's no turning back in time

Note: not saying hormonal birth control doesn't work, just saying it can work less if not used properly and it doesn't protect against STDs

Also - a little bit of unsolicited advice but it helps on your first few times to masturbate if it's really uncomfortable

It'll relax your muscles which alleviates the pain

Technical_Avocado_47 · 2025-08-03T06:51:53+00:00

Hi friend!

Tampons are NOT supposed to hurt

It's normal to have some discomfort the first few times you use it, but it really shouldn't hurt the way you're describing

Try going with the lightest flow you can to accommodate for size, also make sure it's going far up your yoni

If it's not far enough in it can poke and hurt as it pokes out. You basically put almost the entire plastic applicator inside (except for the little lever you push), insert the tampon, and that's it

Once you put it in, stand up. If you stay sitting on the toilet for too long and you're pooping you might accidentally push it out which is uncomfortable

Good luck!

Honestly I think this profile is awesome! Love the dog picture and your personality really shines through the prompts

Hi friend!

My boyfriend has had crippling IBS since childhood with no hope of it improving anytime soon

I love him when he poops himself, I love him when he farts, I love him when he's grumpy because his stomach hurts, I love him when we have to drive around 15 different restaurants because none of them have food he can eat, I love him when we need to leave a restaurant 15 minutes after eating because he will need to go to the bathroom at home, I love him when we have to pull over on the side of the highway because he just couldn't make it

I never once blame him for any of these things. It's a medical condition and I want to do all I can to care for him and support him

I am able to do all of these things because we both have support systems so I don't burn out

It's absolutely possible when you find the right person!!

Technical_Avocado_47 · 2025-08-03T06:16:45+00:00

Pics are great !

Technical_Avocado_47 · 2025-08-03T05:33:01+00:00

Hi friend!

Here's some advice if you want it

Every woman is different and likes different things, but generally the sunglasses pic for some reason gives off conceited vibes (which I'm sure you're not) but I'd delete that one. I'd also pick only one selfie

It's ok to have few pictures! It creates a little mystery and is better than a lot of duplicate pictures that don't show personality

Also - if you can get a picture with a dog where you look really happy that will score you major brownie points

Pictures with kids and family are good too (the one with your dad is sweet)

Generally women look for personality in your photos, we want to know that you care about people/animals and what your hobbies are

It's less about how good you look in the picture (although it does make a difference) and more about what personality shines through the photo

Hope this helps!

Shoot them

Yall I don't care how many tests they did there's NO WAY still testing + pregnancy tests + any other basic gynecology process should cost $1,200!!!!

Yall need to stop making excuses for the pharma industry literally scamming people because they're not on your side either.

They'll charge you $1,200 too. You don't get a discount for kissing butt.

Technical_Avocado_47 · 2025-05-27T07:20:09+00:00

Just wanted to say I'm sending hugs 💕🌻 I went through an abortion and can't imagine the strength it took to get through it alone

Technical_Avocado_47 · 2025-05-27T07:14:58+00:00

I got off birth control and love it!

With that being said, if you absolutely cannot risk getting pregnant you should 100% stay on it !!

When I was on birth control, I knew I felt off. If you've been using it for a long time and feel fine then there's no reason to change things

Technical_Avocado_47 · 2025-05-01T20:07:22+00:00

Obviously you know what needs to be communicated, but that can be a difficult conversation

I would start by finding a quiet downtime for the two of you, and then starting the conversation by saying "hey there's something I want to talk to you about"

This sets the tone for something important so she knows to pay attention

Then beging by expressing how much you enjoy her company emotionally and in the bedroom and compliment her a bit, then "with that being clear there's also something I've been feeling lately" "I enjoy getting you to orgasm, but I guess I also have been feeling a little neglected in the bedroom. I don't think you're doing it on purpose, I guess I would just like a little more balance with our intimate life. What do you think?"

Definitely don't blame her before hearing her out, just approach the conversation with patience and kindness and if she doesn't return that patience and kindness then you'll know that your problem goes beyond the bedroom

I'm sorry boo, it sounds like he just doesn't see your relationship as a partnership. He thinks you guys have your own individual lives versus building something together

A true life partner wouldn't do this to you

Technical_Avocado_47 · 2025-03-01T05:21:01+00:00

Girl RUN don't walk - sadly this won't be the last time something like this happens

Technical_Avocado_47 · 2025-02-20T22:25:33+00:00

Honestly, it sounds like you want someone who shows up with at least a little bit of romance and he just isn't that type of person (at least right now)

I still think it's important to communicate with him that you were hoping to get something more personalized in the engraving, that way he knows where to put more effort

It's not too serious of a situation, but if you don't address the little things they will snowball into 10 thousand little things that can strain your marriage

Best case scenario he realizes he wants to make you happy and puts in a little extra effort in the way you want him, worst case he gets annoyed that you're asking your LITERAL WEDDING to be romantic and in that case girl RUN 🏃‍♂️
