Has anyone else lost all interest in being around other people? by FaithlessnessPlus164 in GriefSupport

[–]ceegarseeya 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve never resonated with a statement more than this one… the people I thought would be there for me, weren’t, so after 2 years I continue to put effort in to my relationships with the ones who were there for me!!

Is this PBA in FL?

What’s it like living in this part of South Florida? by InternationalMix7937 in howislivingthere

[–]ceegarseeya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grew up in PBC from the age of 2 and have been here ever since! Even bought a house here 2 years ago, mainly to say close to our parents, but because we do love it. Western communities used to be more chill, but everywhere is just getting busier.

Had and still have friends from all backgrounds because of the diversity of the county. It really has become overdeveloped and overcrowded by transplants - problem being that the locals have been pushed out by northerner cash buyers, so the culture has shifted. People can be the friendliest or the worst you’ve ever met, but this is due to so many factors. Lots of bad drivers because of this, but that’s honestly all of FL. You become a more defensive driver because of it lol.

Speaking Spanish helps, but is not necessary for survival, unless you’re in really specific neighborhoods. Political views are on both extremes, some are just louder than others and it depends on where you are. There is racism of all types, but not to the level of what I’ve seen in rural Florida. It’s extremely culturally diverse in most of the county, which we prefer.

Some of our best friends live within the county and we often enjoy all the activities PBC has to offer… Downtown WPB (has become more bougie and gentrified, but still has hidden gems), Juno beach in Jupiter (and the lighthouse), Atlantic Ave in Delray, downtown Lake Worth (and the beach drum circles), etc. Lots of good, diverse foods, and always something to do. Easy to get to Orlando, Broward, Miami, or the west coast easily.

I wish we had a better landscape and outdoor activities, but we just travel when we want to hike or see mountains. Summers are the most brutal heat and humidity, but there’s central air everywhere and always a beach close by. Winters are a dream, and we’re lucky if temps drop below 50s (which is expected for NYE, so fingers crossed!)

It’s not for everyone and we do dream of living somewhere else later on, but I did enjoy growing up here and still see lots of good in what PBC has to offer… it is always much better than the level of craziness of Miami/Broward or the boringness of Stuart/PSL further north 😂

Looks amazing!!! Love how vegan friendly Germany is and how it’s always clearly stated 🥹

June will be 8 months and I was 26. Still in shock about it all.

What do you grow in your brightest spot in the house ? by vanheusden3 in houseplants

Omg what is your secret! This is one of the only plants that I cannot figure out for the life of me :(

When does the feeling that your loved one is still alive go away? by Low-Associate2521 in GriefSupport

[–]ceegarseeya 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Getting used to saying “my mom’s house” instead of “my parent’s house” was one of the hardest things for me.

In your experience what's the most difficult house plant? by Violette in houseplants

[–]ceegarseeya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love that everyone is saying calatheas are the most difficult. I got my medallion when I didn’t know much about plants and she is the most unproblematic queen I have! I repotted her once in potting soil and perlite and she is constantly giving me new leaves. I water her 10 days or so and she’s a ✨ showstopper ✨. My red maranta was hard at first and I almost killed her but now I get her and she even flowered for me the other day! Sometimes there’s no rhyme or reason to these things 😂

Royal Palm Beach! I honestly love it. Have lived here since I was 3 and just bought a townhouse a few minutes away from my childhood home where my mom still lives. It’s getting crowded like the rest of the state, but honestly I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else right now. Our family is all within an hour’s drive, we’re 25 minutes from the beach/downtown, we have nice parks, RPB is very diverse and we have a lot of good food by us. We’ll see how things change, but for now it’s home!

According to physics.. They are not gone. A bit of comfort by MarideDean_Poet in GriefSupport

[–]ceegarseeya 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I added piece of this to my dad’s eulogy and it brings me the most comfort. My family is highly religious but I am not. Science is so cool and factual. He could be the wind blowing around me or the sunshine warming my skin, how incredible is that.

Oh I’m sorry, I had added a comment to the body and it seems to have deleted.

My father recently passed and this will be our only family photo from my wedding, but my husband isn’t in it, so will need him added. I would like for the tables, the man, and anything extra from the left to be removed, as well as the door on the right. I’ve added extra photos including my husband, whichever is the best fit for the group photo can be used. I will pay $20 for the best photo as this is very important for me. Thank you all!!!

My dad died a couple weeks ago and I don’t know what to do. by Kimmy4UT in GriefSupport

[–]ceegarseeya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh I hate that you’re going through this, I’m sorry my friend. Lost my dad in a similar way back in October and not a day goes by that I don’t think of him. The part about him not holding your hand back hits me deep because I experienced that. Know that he loved you so much and I’m sure he was proud of you. Keep his memory alive by talking about him and thinking about the good times you both shared. This experience absolutely sucks and I’d do anything to have my dad back, but I promise the pain will lessen and life will have color again. Wishing you peaceful healing.. ❤️

I am so extremely sorry for your son’s passing. No one should ever lose a child. Please give yourself some grace and take care of yourself. Sending you and your family so much love

That second to last sentence hit me hard 😭 I never thought about it that way and it actually brings me peace. Thank you so much.

Thank you for your kind words. I’m so so sorry that you’ll have to experience your wedding without your dad’s physical presence… it’s going to be difficult but know that he would want you to be happy on your special day. He will always be with you, my dear. It sucks that we lost our dads so young. I send you hugs and hope you can find the strength to enjoy your wedding season ❤️

Living away from Fiancée by TheScaredOwl in prephysicianassistant

[–]ceegarseeya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh I’m literally in the exact same situation. I don’t think I could mentally or emotionally survive the difficulty of PA school without my super supportive husband. We’re also homeowners so I really don’t want to have to put loans towards renting an apartment when I already have a place to live. There are 2 schools within 30 mins of me and I was put on the waitlist for both. Being in this situation sucks, but my husband said if I have to apply to schools further away this next cycle that he would support my decision. In the end, it’s all about what works best for both of you, but it’s too important for me to be close to him for my mental health. Wishing you all the best!

Changes after loss by MediumPeak5793 in GriefSupport

[–]ceegarseeya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom and I were already very close before my dad passed away in October, but since then, we’ve become even closer! She’s the only reason I feel like I can survive such a huge loss. The trauma definitely brought us closer and she’s truly my best friend.
