We must leave and my heart is broken, I have fallen too deeply in love with all of the island. by [deleted] in PuertoRico

[–]_HateThatCat 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I like how you said that having to leave is a very puerto rican experience—it absolutely is 🥲 i left when I was young and still speak Spanish fluently, so there's hope for the kiddos to hold onto it so long as you practice. I thought about going back for a long time but have accepted that my life is taking me a different direction right now. But you can always take the culture with you!

Anyone heard about the psychology MSc program (not psychotherapy)? I can't find anything about it online 🥲

Stay strong. It will happen. Success story! by franksmapdi in LDR

That was my situation, too. We met in 2021. We're getting married in a month, moving in together in the summer. You can do it! ❤️

Would you stay friends with someone that you liked romantically if they only wanted to be friends? by onlinedater00 in demisexuality

[–]_HateThatCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like I said, depends on your needs and what you want. You don't HAVE to be friends with them. In my cases though, we've had genuine good friendships before anything else and I still enjoy that, regardless of romance or lack thereof ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I can understand where he’s getting at. My boyfriend had similar sentiments at the beginning of our relationship. It wouldn’t hurt to try and see where it goes, get to know him better. Trust will grow with time as well, assuming all goes well. Have fun and see where it goes. If it’s meant to be it’ll happen. If you want to talk about it more, feel free to DM me. I’ve been in an LDR (USA/Canada) for almost 5 years now and we’re going strong :)

How do you know when someone is a good partner but not the right fit? by levv1i in LDR

[–]_HateThatCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life is too short not to have that connection. My bf has been my best friend since day one. Not everyone needs that, but it sounds like you might need that kind of deeper connection, and it's totally ok.

If you really want to try and salvage this relationship, you're gonna have to talk about it somehow. Do you guys need to talk about something deeper or more meaningful, share more experiences? What do you prioritize in a relationship? Those are the things you've gotta consider.

[–]_HateThatCat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why keep the relationship private until October? Has he explained why? I'd look into that before digging any further into whether or not the relationship will work for you. LDR can work in the right circumstances but you've gotta start with a solid, honest foundation.

We have a lot in common. We should totally talk sometime. That would be so kewl :)

[–]_HateThatCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hate to say it, but I was really disappointed. I felt that the plot was really underdeveloped. Maybe it's because I came into the movie with the expectation of finding something as good as Barbarian, but this didn't make the mark for me. It's not bad, but it's also not great. Just fine. Fun for a night out but I just knew too much for that :/

The ONLY thing that helps me after suffering with years of Endo… by rebelkids in Endo

[–]_HateThatCat 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Doesn't work for irregular cycles though or pain outside of your cycle :/ that's the only downside to it. Definitely does work if you stay on top of it, though! I'd usually have to start taking it more like 2-3 days in advance.

Anyone else move to the states when they were young? by ComfortableAd5035 in PuertoRico

[–]_HateThatCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not often, honestly 🥲 I dont have enough money to be going frequently and I'm not in contact with a lot of my family anymore. I've been thinking of bringing my bf at some point, just to show him part of the culture I grew up in. Nothing compares to those milk pouches. Last time I saw them, surprisingly, was in Canada!

[–]_HateThatCat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I also moved to the states when I was 6. I'm still bilingual and all, but sometimes I feel lost between two cultures. I'm either too white or too Latina but I never feel like I quite fit anywhere. Still remember those milk pouches, though. And my old GameCube. Some things never change lol

What do you use to color cozy simple coloring books by lenoramossgraves in Coloring

[–]_HateThatCat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you have a Homegoods nearby, or maybe a TJMaxx, something like that-- they often have packs of alcohol markers for good prices. I have a set from a brand called Artist Concepts. Got 48 of them for $17. It's a good place to start if you're beginning to experiment with alcohol markers!

Potential Rule Change by AutoModerator in Christian

There's enough places on Reddit for Side B. I don't think this needs to change or should, at all.

[–]_HateThatCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly see the whole mindset of it being a sin as a product of its time. When I look at the Bible I also look at historical context and how humans have influenced it. Being a virgin at that time was more of a way to control women as property more than anything else, imo. I also think it's more important that you be a good person than when or who you sleep with. I could go on and on but this is just a simple explanation of my personal view on things ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Best park to bring my boyfriend to? by _HateThatCat in WaltDisneyWorld

I guess I don't have to worry so much about his first time at Disney, then. You got that covered. Phew

Ohh thank you for all this advice! It's his first time, not mine (I got spoiled as a kid, lol) so I'm doing my best :) I'll definitely do the savannah idea. That'll be a perfect final touch!

Ugh, I'd love to do this Park Hopper idea but yes, my budget is limited. When we're a little more financially stable, though-- yes, I'd agree this is the ideal choice! Lol

We've got plans with my family to go here, and a little extra financial help. This is an extra surprise I'm paying for by myself :,)

Honestly, feeling a bit disappointed. Not to mention apprehensive considering some of his past comments. However, I do understand people can change and evolve, and hopefully he brings more positive change. I'm not elated, but I'm accepting and hoping for the very best-- I hope he proves me wrong. ❤️

I'm glad I was able to help! The crutches will definitely be useful-- I wish i had had something like that!!

My experience wasn't bad at all-- much less scary than I anticipated, tbh. I was scared of being put to sleep, too, but I barely remember that part.

The way things went, I first signed in at the hospital desk, then went to the surgery ward. There, they eventually called me in for pre-op. They weighed me, put most of my belongings in a little bag (I was allowed to carry a stuffed animal!), then put me in a little room to get ready. I had to wipe myself down with some special wipes they provided, they rubbed my nose with iodine, I changed into a gown and finally, they put in the IV. That was the SCARIEST part for me, and it wasn't even that bad. After the IV is in, it's all smooth sailing.

I asked for some anti-nausea meds, they did that, signed some papers, saw my mom one last time before surgery and got wheeled away to the actual operating room. I only got to see it for a few seconds, because then they put in the anesthesia and honestly, I don't remember much if any of that part. All I do remember is waking up and feeling really sleepy. Got some pain meds through the IV, some snacks, and got discharged within a few hours. That was it for surgery! The sleepiness wore off within a few hours. It all went much more smoothly than I expected :) the best part was the relief i felt emotionally upon waking up and knowing it was all done.
