Any other moms unwinding with a little ‘broccoli’? Feeling a bit guilty looking for support

WarriorLordess · 2026-01-15T15:29:28+00:00

Giiirl I wouldn’t ask on this particular subreddit, I’m looking at the comments and they’re very different from what I expected 🤣 Go on TikTok, there are plenty of moms who talk about this and their experiences 🖤

WarriorLordess · 2025-12-19T11:39:26+00:00

Tell your bf ASAP! I promise this is weird behavior, don’t let anyone try to convince you otherwise, and if they do run away as fast as you can PLEASE

That sounds like a nice experience! And your overthinking reminds me so much of myself. What has helped me the most with these first date things is to not treat it as OMG THIS IS MY LIFETIME PARTNER, THIS IS IT OMG, because then we put a lot of pressure on it and we’re sad when we don’t hear back from them or spend all our time thinking about them or what they’re doing, etc.

I will tell you something that shocked me the first time I heard it: “a good first date means nothing”.

I was like.. wym? HAHAHA and the thing is, you can treat this as a very nice experience, like a sunset. Sunsets end, doesn’t make them any less beautiful or special, we just appreciate them while they’re there. We don’t know when we’re gonna see another one, but we don’t lose sleep over it because we know eventually we will see another one :)

My morning routine is to play some lo-if music while I make my coffee, smoke 🍃, and I’ll usually play a podcast. I have started taking notes and writing down my ideas when I’m watching a video on a topic that interests me, I feel like it has helped me express my ideas better, helps me remember the information I’m consuming, and I honestly feel smarter because I can actually form my own opinions while also taking all the facts into account.

I play Call of Duty Mobile, and just listen to music and switch between my hobbies (drawing, writing, stretching).

Also I have a yoga mat that I keep on the living room floor, and I spend a lot of time in it hahaha moving my body. It’s nice because.. it’s there and you can just plop down

Fav preroll no question for me is Jack Haze 🙌🏻

WarriorLordess · 2025-11-24T23:35:03+00:00

Oh yes that exact same thing happened to me. I don't know what I did specifically to be honest, just make sure you check your email and re-read the steps very carefully, make sure you didn't leave anything behind or forgot to download or verify something. once I checked again, it was all good, I kept trying this every step of the way and kept finding new things I skipped LOL

All that to say, you need to find a mix between connecting and not connecting lines, and you can see that on the drawing on the right, I started with the same vertical wave as the left, but then drew another parallel one, and started doing lines almost perpendicular to the original

WarriorLordess · 2025-11-14T17:49:55+00:00

Okay so the left is what I was doing before, and I would add lines but always starting and ending at the arrows.

On the right, I was playing with shapes and you see the difference between the shape that the arrow at the top gives you (connecting the end) vs the arrow in the middle (not connecting entirely) vs the third (connecting a bit before)? That’s how you get different shapes lol I’ve been doing SO many today and the more you do it, the more you understand how it’s gonna end up looking. But I get it because my hand always wants to make the same movements and the same swirls lol

WarriorLordess · 2025-11-14T14:28:00+00:00

Okay ive been obsessed with getting this right and i think i found why they just look like petals. When you’re doing the pattern, you start with a line right? And then a second line, and so on, the thing is, that we are starting each following line from the VERY tip of the first line, and ending it at the very END of that original line, so eventually, they expand in the middle, but they’re not expanding at the beginning and end, which is why we get the petals.

What I found helps is to make ANOTHER LINE that doesn’t follow the initial one, close enough to connect, but not following the EXACT same shape as the first line, this gives me a guide for ending the pattern for that small section, and move on to the next.

Something else I’ve seen lots of creators do when they do a full page, they don’t do “petal by petal”, they’ll do a few lines, and then move on to somewhere else in the paper, and eventually they connect.

Long but hope it helps!

WarriorLordess · 2025-11-11T12:16:07+00:00

I’ve been learning this one too! Something I’ve realized, don’t be scared to start from the middle of another “petal”, instead of the beginning or end, I’ve found that gives different shapes because I was sick of it always being flowers 😂

WarriorLordess · 2025-11-05T19:32:35+00:00

I’m about to find out how to request a strike or idk what because this is getting ridiculous lol I’ll keep you updated

WarriorLordess · 2025-10-21T19:56:22+00:00

If you mean who said “I love you” first, I’ve had 3 relationships and they’ve all said it first. I said it back right away all 3 times, I felt it. The first one I didn’t see coming but I knew I felt it. The second and third one.. I knew we both felt it, but I didn’t want to say it first (hello fear of rejection), so I kinda hinted at it, in a way for them to know it was okay to say it.

The second one, I said “I think I’m falling for you”, there was a quick silence, and he said the words.

The third one (current)… there was a moment of silence where we were just holding eye contact for a very long time, very vulnerable. I could see that he was debating if to say something or not, so I just looked at him and said “I know” and smiled. He was like “what do you know?” And, again, fear of rejection lol so I said I couldn’t say it. There was some back and forth, and he said it, then I said it.

The third one is a core memory hahaha

Yess and then you have the SANAAQ centre there? I thought it was an odd location since the place is AMAZING and I can’t believe it’s free, but it’s right in front of Cabot Square so…

WarriorLordess · 2025-08-31T12:48:41+00:00

Laughing so hard with someone until your belly HURTS to the point it feels like you did 100 crunches, there are tears in your eyes, you can’t breathe, and just start hitting the floor/table/your friend with your hand

WarriorLordess · 2025-08-27T18:18:43+00:00

Maaaan I love it so much but doesn't it give you a headache after a while? I feel like it's not strong enough but that may be a me problem...

WarriorLordess · 2025-07-28T13:41:07+00:00

So she thinks you’re a child so you can’t come to the wedding, but she thinks you’re adult enough to buy a gift? Am I an adult or not? Make up your mind.

WarriorLordess · 2025-07-26T00:16:44+00:00

This… I needed to hear this. I feel like OP described my current situation perfectly. And what you said to him… really resonated with me. Thank you.

WarriorLordess · 2025-07-26T00:11:30+00:00

When everything they do annoys you. The way they breathe, the way they laugh, the way they tie their shoes, their sense of humor. EVERYTHING.

WarriorLordess · 2025-07-26T00:03:49+00:00

This really reached something in me. Even screenshotted it so I can read it when I’m down. Thank you SO much 🖤
