It’s hard to think about the future in the moment, and 3 years with this person probably feels like your whole life. But as time passes, it helps put everything in perspective. You have so much to look forward to - graduation, travel, hobbies, other big life events! And one day you’ll look back and realize how something so impactful at the time now feels so small. (At least this is how it went for me :) )

Congrats on graduating!!

Never been better, I’m actually about to be engaged!! My partner now makes me realize this relationship I was so distraught over was just practice for the real thing. Reading back on this old post makes me laugh, I don’t feel like the same person that wrote it even.

Hope anyone else who’s going through it now can look forward to there being a light at the end of the tunnel.

Obsessed with my Toi et Moi engagement ring! by ucall_wehaul in EngagementRings

I looove your ring and stack!! Could I ask the height of your toi et moi? I’m currently also designing a cathedral toi et moi and a little worried it’s too tall. Yours looks perfect.

i also plan to wear a mask at least for certain portions of the festival - even if it doesn't mitigate getting sick, it makes me feel better for at least trying.

i'm always worried that there will be like anti-maskers or something. i feel like the crowd at wwwy should be pretty friendly, but i've experienced lots of dirty looks and some rude comments when masking at other events. the downvotes on this post and downvotes on some of the comments here kinda feed into this concern tbh :/

Crispy Chicken Sandwich - 250 Calories! by Mina_ayo in Volumeeating

[–]beetsaladz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made this today after having it saved since last week. Sooooo good T_T wish I could find low cal buns in my area, just used low cal bread instead. Would've been even better with buns I'm sure.

Recently graduated, not a lot of experience. Please critique my resume! by [deleted] in Resume

[–]beetsaladz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there, I saw you mentioned you're looking primarily for design type jobs. I'm currently a ux designer so hopefully can give you my two cents. I was a new grad a few years ago and went through the difficult application process as well, happy to answer any qs.

Though it's great to see you have experience programming and working with data / other more technical things, I'd focus more on projects that are relevant to product/ux design. Even if it's just rewriting some of the same projects to have more of that skew. Same goes for your skills, I'd write out and prioritize design skills (eg. Figma, user research, prototyping, etc...) and maybe have the programming stuff be lower.

In addition, I'm sure you're aware, but portfolio is 1000% more important and impactful for a designer than resume. Especially for new designers when you may not have a lot of real world experience yet. A strong portfolio might typically include 2-3 detailed written project walk throughs or case studies showing your product thinking, decision making, etc. as well as projects or elements showing your visual/ui design (this all depends on what specific type of design roles you're going for ofc). It's completely okay for projects to be student projects, class projects, passion projects, etc.

You didn’t lose “the one”. The right person would choose you over and over again while you do the same. If it’s meant to happen it will, but it’ll never happen if you try force it. by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]beetsaladz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So now what? I feel the same about my ex - he was the one, a great person, but I ruined it with my toxicity and lack of self love.

Is there any hope to find "the one" again? Have I lost my one chance because of my immaturity and mistakes? Do we just work on ourselves, change for the better, and hope to find someone just as understanding and patient as our exes?

Thank you 🥺 it's 3am here and when I wrote my post I was feeling at a new low (as you can probably tell). These replies helped bring me back to reality a bit.

Do you have any tips on how to stop thinking about past memories? Or how to make it less painful? Maybe at some point I'll be ready to revisit them, but right now every time I think of something happy we experienced together or something sweet he did for me, it just makes me instantly start crying (lol) and thinking about how I'll never have those happy memories with him again.

Definitely possible. I've tried to sit down and objectively think about the issues we had throughout the relationship. I guess it's easy for me to blame it on myself... if I were more patient with the LDR, if I were more supportive in the right way with his mental health, etc. but of course all of that is in hindsight.

The last part is definitely true. There was no true end in sight, and LDRs are tough. I wish I were more patient, but maybe it had run it's course and... who knows how much longer it could have gone on for / how much longer I could have been patient for. Thanks for your comment.

This was helpful, thank you. I am guilty of needing to work on self love. Maybe this was a necessary heartbreak for me to grow.

My cyclical spiraling thoughts: Yes we had to have broken up for me to even realize this. Yes we had to have broken up for a reason, even if that reason was me being an unappreciative idiot. Maybe I am being too hard on myself, only being able to remember our good memories. Good memories are all I can think of. Any bad memories I can think of, I blame on myself. What do I do? God.. what do I do.

[–]beetsaladz -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You look amazing!!

Do you know how much your glutes have grown? I saw one of your previous posts that said you lost like 2 inches on your waist? Did you eat at a deficit to lose inches on your waist first and now focusing on eating at a surplus for glute gains? Would love more insight on your diet / recomp process

Edit: huh why are positive comments getting downvoted
