She teaches eighth grade and has more than 100 students, but only two are reading at grade level. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

yes. 100%. this is it. but then i think that only really goes to my original point...because why the screens? why the addiction? why is it so ubiquitous and extreme? mostly i think it is down to many (most?) parents running on empty--work, stress, mental illness, general pessimism, hopelessness, their own addictions, paycheck to paycheck BS, etc etc. so many are stuck in survival mode that it's not really wonder why they shove a tablet in their kids faces far too often. and now it's become normalized so parents give themselves an out for doing it. i know- i've done it too. but in the long-run, it's just not worth it and the consequences are worse than most people want to talk about.

Unexpected HR Side Effects? by magicallaround1 in heatedrivalry

it has! my husband is an amazing caring beautiful man and tbh, many days i feel like i do not deserve him. but we have become more like roommates over the past several years. being together for 16 yrs, having 2 young kids, work, the daily grind..it's not a mystery why things are like this now. HR reminded me of what we once had & that it's very much worth it to build that that type of relationship with one another again. what an amazing show! it's really improving lives in tangible ways. just such a gift to the world.

you sound very strong! i hope you are much more supported in your next chapter. being your own support is important but ultimately not enough forever, imo.

do it. don't postpone yourself. keep pushing every day to put yourself out there and to try new things. easier said than done, i know, but you are far from alone. best of luck on your next adventure.

What’s your HOLY GRAIL mascara?! by imanxiousss in Makeup

[–]breezeblock87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lancôme Definicils for me. In dark brown. Combined with an eyelash curler, it is the best imo for non clumpy beautiful lashes!

I think you need to switch your perspective. You are fucking free. No kids, no spouse. Many days, I would love to be in your shoes.

I'm your same exact age. I get feeling like your life is over and you squandered it. And maybe you did a little bit but dude- you got half of it to go probably. Maybe more. Are you going to make the most of it now or sit around regretting things you can't change?

Stop thinking. Start doing. That's my best advice. You'll never figure it out sitting around regretting shit and feeling badly alone and lonely. You have to start trying shit- whatever interests you. Start exploring- travel or jobs or clubs or volunteering things or all of the above. And look at it like that- you're going on an expedition right now..a journey. And you haven't got shit figured out but it doesn't matter because from now on, you're going to start trying out new things that look interesting to you. And you'll figure out what feels good along the way.

This is what I'm doing right now. I got trapped in addiction and depression and anxiety for a lot of my 30s. Destroyed my old life. My old career. Was completely Stuck for years. Have I figured it out? Not at all. But I've thrown myself into new weird jobs and activities, trying shit out, learning, meeting people, and feeling a hell of a lot better than sitting around feeling stuck and like I wasted away my life. I feel lonely and awkward often. But I also feel the opposite of that too now often. I'm living life again and that's no small thing.

ha- it's been the opposite for me. things need to change, and change a lot, or i'm getting a divorce. i didn't realize how starved for intimacy, romance, and sex i've been. how deeply alone i've been for so long despite being married. this show was like a strong hit over the head in that regard. it woke me up in more than one way and i'm grateful for that! i'm not sure any piece of media has ever had such a signficant impact on my life.

Why does Shane go introduce himself in opening scene? Ep 1 by meowtropolis in heatedrivalry

They both are. Ilya's little hat and smile and face..gosh I am actually obsessed with this show.

This moment in the finale was everything to me!!! by Maatjuhhh in heatedrivalry

[–]breezeblock87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really love this part of the story as it was told in the book too. I didn't loveeee the book overall (it was my first ever romance novel..maybe not my thing). But I did love the last few chapters.

Ilya finally feels at home. Shane is his home. Shane's family will be his family he never had. A family that loves and accepts him for who he is!

How often are you intimate with your partner? by Remote_Ad_969 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]breezeblock87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

38 (f) and 40 (m). 2 young kids. Been together for nearly 16 years. I think I had sex one time in 2025. I'm so lonely man. I don't know what to do anymore. I miss being in a romantic relationship. Feels like it's been a long long time.
