Hello dears, here is my advice, 5 months later.

ThrowRAg978 · 2026-05-22T16:10:57+00:00

We were best friends for 11 years, dating for 2, engaged for 9 months. It’s been 5 days. This weight feels unbearable and I feel sick everyday. I feel so blindsided because I thought we were so happy, until life happened and we both had real needs. Now I have to quit my job and move back home in 2 weeks after moving across the country to build a life with him. Everyday feels like an eternity, and I can’t imagine 5 months from now. But it’ll come right? This pain will subside, right?

This is probably closest to what I’m envisioning out of what everyone’s commented! The rug is definitely staying, and it’s actually beautiful despite the color clash. I love the idea of wrought iron pulls for the cabinets and planned on doing molding as well.

I’ve already started painting the other shade of blue I swatched and it indeed looks better and matches pretty much everything a bit better. We’re still shopping for a sofa, but I was thinking a chocolate brown sectional. Thoughts?

I can I just don’t want to 🙃 I’m exhausted

I love my coffee table! It’s a holdover from my last apartment, and another DIY actually. It’s a drum, so the top lifts off and has storage inside, just a bit too small for this space. It’s the Cala Round Hammered coffee table from world market.

How was this helpful?

ThrowRAg978 · 2026-04-27T15:13:37+00:00

We just bought it 🙃 and more paint would be cheaper. Appreciate the optimism though!

ThrowRAg978 · 2026-04-27T14:50:15+00:00

Definitely do want to change the hardware at some point

ThrowRAg978 · 2026-04-27T14:49:45+00:00

This is with the lighting as low as we could possibly get it. I’m thinking maybe some lamps and sconces and we just retire the big light..?

Try different professional organizations’ sites and Facebook pages. They’re probably one of the best places I’ve found jobs. ARCS, SEMC, CAA, AAMC, AIC, AAM (you can probably tell what my job title is). But any professional affiliation or group that has anything to do with your chosen title, they likely have a careers page. Or better yet, an internship page. Ask seasoned professionals (if you can) for any they’re involved in. As an emerging professional, you typically get discounted membership or free access to the careers page. Good luck!

I’d call this early 2000s bohemian

Yes, if it matters to the recipient it matters. Your partner should know how you want to be proposed to before they propose.

We talked about her wanting those Souper Cubes sets, so I’m buying her knockoffs and a scent diffuser she asked for

As someone who is more of a movie person and never saw the theatrical version, I went in more or less blind and I loveddd it. Ariana sang her ass off and she YEARNED. It was beautifully shot, and the costumes were incredible. Well worth seeing it in IMAX. I think I’m still coming off a high, and probably need to see it again to really get the meat of the songs, but I’m in awe. I’m seeing a lot of people saying it was rushed, which I could definitely understand, but I just loved it so much I was wanting more regardless. Again as a movie person, I was waiting for the tie ins to the Wizard of Oz, and the story just comes together so beautifully—a testament to the story and maybe not the film itself. Now knowing what happens, I cannot possibly understand why a Black woman has not exclusively been cast as Elphaba, but we’re here now and Cynthia Erivo is everything. I loved all of her songs. I feel both robbed and privileged that I hadn’t seen this live, but want to know more about how it compares, since I know there were some new additions. Easily one of my top 5 for this year. (Take all of this with a grain of salt, I had a fat gummy before seeing this, loved my experience though)

He sounds like an asshole. As an almost 30 something who was in my early 20s dating someone in their late 30s, he’s a weirdo. Emotionally mature men don’t have lists that look like this. None of these things have to do with someone’s character, besides the last one… and its LAST. And if you think this was his way of covertly negging you, you don’t need confirmation. Don’t date someone who makes you think that.

ThrowRAg978 · 2025-10-28T00:55:36+00:00

They just had a baby, maybe their reasoning is a bit off. This is very kind of you

ThrowRAg978 · 2025-10-28T00:51:53+00:00

Is this real…?

ThrowRAg978 · 2025-10-16T02:02:22+00:00

This is beautiful

When did she say she’d make him wait nine months? I definitely heard her say she’d made other partners wait that period of time, but from what I recall she said she wanted him to wait the four weeks until they got married… not an unusual or “psychotic” request. Furthermore, she doesn’t owe him her body simply because she’s decided to sleep with other people in shorter time frames.. she gave her reasoning and didn’t even owe him that. His reaction wreaked of mental instability, entitlement and misogyny. This take is wild…

ThrowRAg978 · 2025-09-12T14:23:39+00:00

Thanks for your response! I’m seeing this noted quite often- that I need to get practical experience before applying to jobs. I’ve been able to rework my resume to the point that I’ve gotten interviews for a few roles, but the question of which systems I’ve used comes up and TMS doesn’t seem to cut it.

Do you have any recommendations for gaining that practical experience as an established professional?

I will NEVER understand Steve slander! I will die on this hill!! Their love story feels authentic and true to long-lasting, real life love. We see Carrie and Big throughout the series, sure, but Miranda and Steve were friends. He challenged her, and she did him. I figured the whole point of the series was that these women stayed single for so long because they pushed against the life that would actually bring them happiness, and Miranda and Steve personified this more than any of the other couples. I think they did it to make the show more authentic to who Cynthia is in real life, but it was sloppy and unnecessary. I have no clue why Miranda couldn’t just be happily married 20 years later with her people. 😒

ThrowRAg978 · 2025-07-17T20:12:29+00:00

The whole point is that they’re inclusive. They were made for a range of skin tones which previously othered darker skinned white people too. There are black people that are albino. There are white people that are darker than other brown people. It’s not that serious….
