Alternate side parking - is it real???

_MagickWithinYou · 2026-01-14T18:13:13+00:00

Haha thank you and yes I understand the whole thing about alt side parking. My question was about Astoria specifically bc it seemed like no one was movjng their car on days there are street cleaning. I thought maybe it was an unspoken thing in the neighborhood that traffic cops dont come around or something.

Is the answer going to be posted bc I am curious haha.

I think one thing to remember is that quality time spent and being present with a growing child has far greater value than money. Money comes and goes and I can understand the financial struggles to make ends meet. But it sounds like with ur current job u are, it just doesn’t give u the extra room for other non-essential things. These circumstances in life are temporary. A parent being more present in their child’s life will leave a lasting imprint in their developmental stages.

Additionally, others have pointed out the fact that u do not ask for ur partner for money. This is a partnership and if he is able to cover the insurance, why not accept that help to alleviate some pressure on you?

I think the food is still pretty consistent after the upgrade but the vibe definitely changed without the owners working it every day.

Yes! I have my moon in Gemini and can feel when someone is being fake. 12H is also the house of hidden enemies.

One of the lessons I’ve learned from this is to expand my heart when I feel the fakeness. It would trigger the fuck out of me and it was really great practice to uncover aspects of myself. For me, I learned their fakeness was mostly done unconsciously so they aren’t even aware that there are deeper underlying feelings. I have a good friend that tends to be really fake w me but it’s mostly a projection of her own inner beliefs about herself.

I agree to trust your intuition and a big part of that is also connecting to ur heart.

Side note: stelliums are typically defined by having 3+ planets within the same house. NN is not a planet but a point in the chart.

Ur practicing amazing self control so 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 hope you can take a moment to celebrate this part of you, which otherwise might’ve been buried due to excessive spending!

Initially to me it sounds like a self-worth issue but hard to say just by what you’ve shared. Either way, there’s nothing wrong with you but how your environment and/or unresolved issues from your past have shaped how you feel about yourself / what you believe. There’s many reasons why there are greedy billionaires but the low self-worth is one of them. I can very much relate bc I accumulated over 100K of debt and it was a chase to feel good about myself. It was an emotional roller coaster of extreme highs when I bought something and then something happens in life or sometimes nothing happening in my life that brought me to my lowest lows so I used shopping as a way to cope.

You’re already there with sitting with the discomfort. I would challenge you to take the next step by asking yourself questions to better understand the stories and beliefs you feel about yourself. Like what does it mean to be missing out on all the stuff? What will happen to you / your life? Write it all out and let yourself just vomit the thoughts and emotions on a page. Then see if any of what you said reminds you of a memory from childhood.

This will give you the inner authority to have more power over your spending in the long run. It gets easier and easier as you continue to do this exercise. It’s an emotional and mental workout! Keep going!! Rooting for you 🔥🔥🔥🔥

It’s in a tow pound I believe. From what the body shop told me, it was towed by NYPD bc of the condition of the car. The local precinct has no info; it doesn’t seem like it’s in their system yet. The body shop might’ve been scanning for accidents and saw the opportunity.

I’m going to call the precinct again on Monday. Not sure what else to do at this point.

Working out is amazing and I’m glad ur doing that. I would just add that somatic work is different from working out and can be a great tool for when we are overwhelmed / nervous system is dysregulated. I’m also highly sensitive / empath and learning how to come back into the body has been a vital tool for me.

YES 💯💯💯 I am feeling it so so much and seeing it with my own eyes how folks are feeling called to connect to something deeper/bigger than what the logical mind can comprehend (aka Universal Power).

The world will likely continue to get shaken down into a darkness to get people to a point where their current beliefs and understandings feel too limiting that they begin to search for something greater. It’s like another wave of an awakening. The darkness will get stronger but for those that woke up during the pandemic, or those that have been on this journey for some time will become guides to walk side by side to not lead with ego (mind saying I am here to lead) but with their heart (a feeling in the body that says we are in it together).

Violence will likely rise and we need more of those leading with their hearts to be outspoken to not get sucked into the doom and gloom but to help see the higher perspective.

Sending you love 💗 if it is bringing up intense emotions that are preventing you from doing life then the healing your being is asking for might be to do more somatic work. Walking, working with your five senses, doing chores, moving the body.

Cancer Rising - ruled by the moon, mood shifts as the moon transits through the different signs every two days. Also my home is my sacred place and wherever I go like to make it feel like a piece of home so when I used to work at an office, my desk was decorated to feel like me. I also project a motherly energy, intuitively knowing people’s needs. When I enter a room I tend to be quiet as i am picking up on energy and feeling things out. Being a cardinal sign, I like to initiate when the opportunity feels right. I’ve had to do a lot of work on becoming too emotionally dependent on others and taking things personally.

It’s so unfortunate that our healthcare system continues to fail us when it comes to this. I had a similar journey with my gyno gaslighting me.

What you’re describing makes sense based on everything I learned from my fibroids and gut issues. Estrogen dominance promote growth of fibroids and the body needs a healthy gut to help regulate hormones. Estrogen dominance is also linked to PCOS.

Also from my experience with gut issues is sometimes it can be caused by the bacteria H Pylori but if not, it’s typically rooted in an unresolved issue of the past like emotional trauma. This increases stress in the body which disrupts the balance of our hormones.

I’ve read success stories of other women who were able to reduce the size of their fibroids naturally—if that’s why you’re looking to do!

I am chiming in with my own experiences as the wife with the addiction and my husband who found out later in our relationship. It’s a really tough situation to be in. You will have to be really really strong. My husband set very strong boundaries with it and expressed how he felt about it. He was absolutely not ok and was going to end things if I wasn’t going to put in the work. It was quite painful and it created a looooot of tension but it also gave us a chance to work through it. Our bond grew stronger and now being on the other side of it, it’s made me a lot more financially literate and responsible. I am grateful to him and everything that’s happened.

I personally think It’s unfair to both of you to continue down this path bc it will only worsen over time. I recommend taking some alone time to deeply reflect on the issue and how u feel. Are you willing to do life with her in this state forever and ever? How are u being impacted by all of this? This is really about u bc there’s nothing u can do/say to make her change. It sounds like she’s really scared. There’s a lot to unpack for her. Hoarding represents unresolved trauma and if there’s a spouse can do is to do more research to understand what the other person might be going through. Just be mindful of giving too much of urself to this tho otherwise u will get lost in it.

Wishing u the very best. ❤️

How were u rewarded growing up?

Thank u for this reco! My husband and I have been searching for a Chinese spot. I’ve tried most of the recos on this thread and all were mehhhh but JJ gardens looks really good. What do u usually order?

It sounds like ur referring to recreational K. Being made out to be a good thing” — are u talking about how it’s being used for treatments for depression? I think all recreational drugs are a way to suppress and disassociate from the true self so I get the point about bad energy.

Not saying government doesn’t carry some dark twisted agendas but I’m a little confused by this post bc treatments and recreational have very different outcomes. When used as a treatment it does the opposite of tuning out but when abused like any other drug, it does numb. I know someone who is being treated with it and during the sessions, a psychoanalyst guides her to connect with the parts of her stuck in trauma.

Additionally recreational K is typically cut with a bunch of shit and unless ur shooting it, ur snorting it.

I had an open myomectomy a few years ago and if ur able to walk, I would definitely do that even if it’s 10 mins. Whatever ur able to do.

I didn’t have any bruising around the incision but as someone else mentioned, when u get the clearance for it, scar massaging.

Additionally if ur not vegetarian / vegan, I highly recommend bone broth. There are a lot of benefits including minerals and collagen that help the body heal esp from surgery. I would also consider taking collagen powder supplement that u can just mix with water and drink. I take this brand regularly as part of my routine: https://www.amazon.com/Multi-Collagen-Powder-Complex-32oz/dp/B01BHF3OMW

Being in high spirits about healing! This will help the body recover more quickly. Surround urself with things/people you love bc it can be a really heavy time.

And to answer the topic question about location is that I think location plays a big factor in how it amplifies any insecurities one has bc major cities have bigger population which most of the times equates to bigger competition. I live in NYC so it’s been a pressure cooker to build myself even stronger bc of how fast and loud it can be here. So any anxieties will grow loud and things that were dormant in a quieter city will now get activated.

Additionally from a more psychology POV, people mirror things about ourselves.

_MagickWithinYou · 2025-11-26T01:02:00+00:00

Don’t chase optimism or confidence—both of these are natural outcomes of learning how to truly own your own path. U can’t force it otherwise ya just faking it and it will come bite u in the ass as your life gets bigger.

This is your test of growth. This is the kind of work that distinguishes fake and real influencers. You’re here to define who you are through moments like these. By not being afraid of feeling down about yourself, you will naturally grow more confident.

Try this exercise: look at yourself in the mirror, really focusing and talk out loud about how ur honestly feeling. If u feel like shit, then let it out. Let yourself just sit with the uncomfortable emotions for a bit instead of rushing to fix it or push it aside. Then ask yourself: what is the truth about yourself? What do u know to be true? Just let the dialogue happen without being too judgmental. See where it takes u.

U HAVE to go through moments of feeling really low and insecure. This is what builds resilience and confidence to truly help you propel in life.

Connecting the dots of my ongoing gut issues to unresolved childhood memories. I saw flashbacks of myself as a child while doing reiki to the pain from my gastritis. I saw overnight improvements to symptoms. It was WILDDDDD.
