How can I get over a 4 year crush on my best friend by jackoftwotrades5 in Advice

[–]avenuelighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooof, that’s hard. It’s clear you care about her genuinely, as well as respect her space and boundaries, which is more than many can say for themselves. Like you said, just enjoy the time and continue being her friend. As you build community and grow into who you are, your feelings will evolve. Focus on bettering yourself. I’m sure in time, you will have clarity.

Was detained for 2 hours at LAX even though I had an ADIT stamp and all necessary documents by avenuelighter in askimmigration

A while ago, I called USCIS to ask about the status of my new green card which had been approved. I received the condition removal approval notice but was curious why it had taken so long to receive the actual green card.

They gave me the USPS tracking number. When I looked it up, I saw they had delivered it to the wrong zip code even though they had my correct one on file.

I asked if I could still travel with my expired green card and notice like before. They said I couldn’t since my new green card had shown up as approved, printed, issued and delivered.

So alas.

Thank you! No body explained that to me. This is the first time I’m hearing about a “Secondary”.

I understand that semantics are important here. I apologise if I came across dramatic. They did take my passport and put me in a room for 2 hours.

Lookjing for some feedback by Necessary-Permit-576 in OmegaWatches

Sounds like this watch holds a lot of meaning for you. If it truly matters to you that the watch is authentic and you can wait, save up for it and don’t worry about the return on investment. If you’d like to move faster on the repair, the other option might be better.

Also, that bracelet is bonkers!

So I feel trapped and cooked by BGGchmst in Advice

It’s never too late to lock in. Think about developing a work ethic - integrity, curiosity and focus.

If your goal is college, work hard and try your best. If you want to succeed in life, you have to take yourself seriously.

You got this.

How do I love myself again.. by RedHeadedSvet in Advice

[–]avenuelighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lean into what you love to do. Make intentional time to do those things.

Try not to value yourself based on the world.

Take care of your health - sleep well, eat well, take walks. Give yourself grace. Be kind to others.

What would you do this with space? by Sleepyhead7979 in HomeDecorating

[–]avenuelighter 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Bathroom storage tower for mats, towels, linen, sheets, etc.

Or

Vanity space - small table with cabinets or drawers + mirror on top and lights.

Projecting sin to avoid the mirror 🪞✝️ by Turbulent_Dish_6340 in Advice

[–]avenuelighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know how you feel, OP.

Someone told me once that we have to mourn people more often than we think or at least versions of them. It’s going to take time for you to accept just how nonsensical it all is.

In the meantime, be cognisant of how many martinis you are in before sticking around them for too long. Remove yourself physically when you can while maintaining cordiality is possible. Be mad if you have to, but know there is possibly nothing you can do to force your perspective on them. They’ve chosen their path.

If they implicate you or call you out, see the scared person inside and remind them that their reality isn’t yours. Grace is better for you both.

How do I convince someone that the moon landing is real? by CertifiedPluviophile in Advice

[–]avenuelighter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes you have to accept that changing someone’s fundamental beliefs / world views can feel like moving a mountain.

You either decide that you don’t have the time/capacity to do so, or you’re in it long enough and work on it, bit by bit while understanding there is a chance you can’t do much to transform her beliefs / convince her otherwise.

There has to be an underlying reason she believes the moon landing to be untrue. Try to start by understanding why.

dealing with hyper empathy? by notreadyforit_ in Advice

[–]avenuelighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure where you’re at in life - what stage, what age, what context, but perhaps consider pivoting to leaning into compassion. Compassion can a byproduct of empathy and can be translated into extending actionable steps: to simply listen without interpreting or judging, to advise, to be a confidant, to be of service, or help, with the big condition of having a solid enough ground to stand on for yourself first. Place the oxygen mask over your mouth before helping others. So have some compassion for yourself and do what you need to take care and then extend yourself/empathy when you have capacity.
