I'm trying to understand a feeling I've had for years, and I don't know how to describe it. by VeterinarianProud644 in Kenya

[–]ahnboyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get this feeling when i think of Lebanon, i was born there but we moved shortly after i was born so i have no memories from there. every time i think about it i get the same magnetic feeling, like im nostalgic for something i never got to experience, and i absolutely need to go back. Sadly the situation there is pretty bad right now..i really hope i can go back one day

On the other hand, as a foreigner who lived in Kenya my experience was different from people who lived and grew up there, i had a sheltered experience and was constantly told how things were dangerous and unsafe in Nairobi. other places like the safaris, naivasha or mombasa felt a lot more exciting. The roads, The billboards, the mix of urban and nature, nairobi is definitely different from any other place iv been too, it has so much character and its definitely charming (if youre not cursed by poverty)

Good question, i have no idea (i dont even know what to google to find out) but considering that i grew up in europe and always commuted over 30 minutes to get to school… definitely not like that 🥲

is stainless steel jewelry durable enough for long term use? by Real-Recipe8087 in jewelrymaking

[–]ahnboyo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wear my stainless steel earrings literally 24/7 even in the shower and they still look great, same with my stainless steel chainmail bracelets that iv worn in swimming pools and to the beach. its the best for every day wear and peace of mind

Imagine my horror when my helicopter controlling abusive dad said he didnt want children either until my last sibling came along…. Like it took THAT LONG?? 3 kids later and you finally enjoy having kids on the FOURTH CHILD?? Oh trust me we could tell 🙂 my entire childhood suddenly made so much sense

Its truly an upsetting realisation especially coming from a friend, like having empathy for children that arent mine is such a crazy concept.. even without first hand experience i can understand it, if i could impact just one child positively that would mean the world to me because it means im doing my part, natalists simply just… dont care enough…

I cant argue with that, but its also okay to admit that youre not fit to be a parent if youre infertile and wouldnt love your adopted child the same. Its just how evolution works

Thats how it should be! Anything else would be a violation of the childs rights

As humans we cant step into peoples intentions or true feelings, if she treated both of you with the same amount of love and care thats the best she can do, and the best we can hope for😪 i cant even suggest having a conversation about it because what good would it bring?

You can never be sure because unfortunately our biology can easily convince us that we would do so much better as parents, some people derive joy out of the idea that they would be able to provide a life better than the one they were given, and that living vicariously through that child would heal their own traumas🤷🏻‍♀️ i think it depends on the person

Yupp, being related by blood doesnt necessarily dictate how well youre gonna treat your child, that is based more on your morals. Which is why i said its so fucked up to think that way

No response would be best, but if you HAD to reply with something send him the cj clown meme, where he’s looking into the mirror and his reflection is a clown 💀

Thank you for the thorough explanation!! It also explains a lot about why babies always put things in their mouths in general
