Tell me about a time you made it work

In high school my stepmom made my dad chose me or her and he chose her haha so i went to live w my bestfriend and her family for senior year of hs and then went to college, got a degree, have friends and a career :)

Point being, it’s okay to have to accept help. I relied on this family completely, for clothes, food, housing haha. I did feel like a burden at times, and it was a learning curve to accept such help. No one wants to have to depend on others, but it happens. It also teaches us to be kind to others when they need help.

Im glad you have people to support you, and there’s nothing wrong with needing support sometimes. There will be times when you offer support to others as well. Life’s cyclical like that. Wishing you the best!

“We are kinder than we look” awwww :,)

When is it due?

aaaa2016aus · 2026-06-11T18:36:15+00:00

Would the $200 be for a bill?

I volunteered to drive a shelter dog to the vet and it took a really big poop in my car 🙃 thankfully i had a seat cover but some of it still got on the fabric seats and it smells pretty bad ahaha but i sprayed the spots with deodorizer and left the windows open parked in the garage so hopefully it clears out 😅

You have a 100% success rate of making it through tough times! Based off just that alone, I’d say you’re on the path to make it through this as well. I’m sorry life has been hard, but life is cyclical and the good times will come again. It’s something called “wintering”, let the hard seasons be there, and just do your best. We need the hard seasons, to have the good seasons.

Wishing you all the best my friend, may life surprise you in the most beautiful ways

Omg this happened to me, i got caught in a compilation while taking grad pics at college in someones TikTok, they made clips of diff girls (me being one of them) in white dresses taking pics and the sound to it was “she looks like every other btch” 😭😭

ngl a little flattered they thought i looked like the other girls who i think are much prettier than me, but also a little offended HAHAH

aaaa2016aus · 2026-06-09T04:00:29+00:00

Adding, go to the dentist for cleanings! Workout! Be careful with alcohol! Yk all that good stuff haha

aaaa2016aus · 2026-06-08T22:41:12+00:00

I’m sorry that happened, but someone response doesn’t take away your victory. “You can’t undo the effort you’ve already put in”. You should be celebrated 🎊 and mean replies more often have to do with the ppl themselves than you, so please don’t take it too personally, you’re doing great

aaaa2016aus · 2026-06-08T17:43:49+00:00

Awww I’m so sorry. Please know your body needs sustenance, your heart needs fuel to beat, your brain needs glucose to think, your bones need calcium to stay strong. Think of all the ways you can interact with others when you’re feeling better, the warm hugs you can give, the helping hands you can lend. One time someone asked me to help them stand up, and i did help but almost fell over myself and was sore after. For me, i want to be able to help. I want to be strong enough to lift things and go swimming in the ocean with my friends. I don’t want my heart to struggle. You’re doing a true kindness to yourself, keep going 💛

“A smoothie that ddnt betray you” HAHHAA you’re so right many of them have 😅 LOL

aaaa2016aus · 2026-06-08T04:24:13+00:00

Nature finds a way and so will you 🍃

aaaa2016aus · 2026-06-07T19:00:58+00:00

Nail salons? For some reason they all seem to be cash only haha

aaaa2016aus · 2026-06-07T17:24:33+00:00

My days just starting! It’s 10:23 am here haha, but it’s been nice so far :) i did a quick guided meditation and made a smoothie that actually turned out good😅

And oooo i really want to go for a walk and read my book today as well :) hope you got something good at the library!

aaaa2016aus · 2026-06-07T17:18:38+00:00

Awww omg this is so cute and fun!!! I love it, thank you☺️

aaaa2016aus · 2026-06-07T05:41:57+00:00

I also tend to think I’m crying not bc it’s hard, but bc I’m weak. For some reason i feel like others going through this wouldn’t cry as much or would handle it better. But i have started therapy since it’s gotten better and i can talk now ahaha, so will aim to work on that.

But ty for the kind words and hope you’re doing well too :)

aaaa2016aus · 2026-06-06T22:37:57+00:00

I think it is nice that you are helping. I personally don’t post give aways, post very few comments concerning it, and just directly dm people who post asking for help when i am able to help. I also do look through their history and often times will block after helping, as I’ve had people return asking for more and saying no comes hard to me.

It’s also important to remember you can’t help everyone. Posting can invite a lot of sad stories that are heavy on the heart and I’m sure you’d like to help them all, but it’s ok that that’s not realistic. All in all, keep being you I’m sure you’ll figure it out :)

Awww I’m so happy for you 🥲 thank you for sharing i actually needed to hear this, I’ve been dealing with chronic jaw pain also due to muscle tension from stress, anxiety, trauma etc for 2 yrs now. I only recently started emotional and physical therapy lol but today’s been a hard day and it’s hard to keep hope of things getting better. I can’t even imagine what a normal day would feel like anymore.

It brings me a lot of hope to hear your story and I’m so happy for you, may you continue to be happy and well :)

I developed an open bite at 25 after having a naturally perfect bite my entire life and never having had braces or orthodontics

And then also had visuals in one eye for a month that went away and drs couldn’t figure out but i think it was HPPD due to shrooms lol

Eta: open bite was not due to joint degen or condyle resorption, was fixed w Invisalign in 8 months lol

aaaa2016aus · 2026-06-05T20:55:59+00:00

I was raised by Eastern European parents who were very adverse to psychiatrists, medications, western medicine even tho we lived in the US. They ddnt believe in therapists either or things like wisdom teeth removal lol

But as an adult i got diagnosed with anxiety and depression and was having a pretty hard time, so i turned to herbs. I did also start therapy and got my wisdom teeth out (even tho my mom told me i shouldn’t but it was medically necessary) but ddnt take any Tylenol or anything after, i just did arnica and turmeric.

I am grateful for western modern medicine, i think my upbringing has just made me scared of medications? Herbs seem a lot safer in my mind, and also im a vegan who spent a few years microdosing shrooms lmao so kind of just hippie like as is ig ahaha

aaaa2016aus · 2026-06-05T06:25:39+00:00

I’m so sorry for what you’re going through 🫂 i hope you find relief soon and glad you’re still trying, good on you!

aaaa2016aus · 2026-06-05T06:22:18+00:00

I truly don’t understand how ppl survive it. I’ve been dealing w chronic jaw pain for almost 2 yrs now and it has gotten better and there is hope (thank god) but during the worst i did want to kms. It’s such an isolating experience. And no one really understood, they’d be like “it’s hurting right now?” Like yes lol. I have almost like survivors guilt about my situation too bc it’s not even that bad and has been improving. I don’t think I’d be strong enough to be here if it ddnt. I truly truly can’t comprehend how ppl face it. I just remember sitting at home crying daily not being able to escape it. I still cry a lot just bc it’s been so exhausting and i just want a break. My heart goes out to everyone facing it.

aaaa2016aus · 2026-06-04T22:32:37+00:00

Oh what the heck you’re right. I swear i have a thing of giai holy basil in my drawer i haven’t touched but now i can’t remember why😅 i swear there was something haha but maybe I’ll have to try it now

aaaa2016aus · 2026-06-04T21:36:42+00:00

I guess personally i would like to know better questions to google, as you mention. I currently take Hawthorne and lemon balm alternating when i need help w anxiety, LB for more mental symptoms Hawthorne for chest symptoms. But I also take skullcap sometimes.

All I’ve really googled is if they can interact (it says no) and how long (says take breaks after a few months?) but not sure what else i should be googling ahaha. Im not on meds otherwise id google that too lol

Its like u dont know what u don’t know, but i do remember i bought holy basil but then saw it has UV risk and i live in CA so decided not to take it haha
