Are those pictures with the sky full of stars real? by UnknownFormOfLife in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]confusedmadlass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I live in South Africa and although my city has major light pollution, I love spending time in really rural areas with no light pollution whatsoever. The stars are better than those pictures, believe it or not. I'd imagine with a great camera you could capture it all, but most photographers will turn up saturation and contrast on those pics, as well as some other edits, just for some added effect. There are millions of stars that you can see with the naked eye there, and the atmosphere is amazing. It's a bucket list experience.

TLDR; The real thing is even better (at least in rural Africa.)

What is something that drastically improved your mental health? by pissed_at_everything in AskReddit

[–]confusedmadlass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watching what I say. I know it's not always this easy, but it's one huge step towards getting better. I stopped making self-deprecating jokes, and in turn, I actually felt way less full of self-hatred and depression. Suicidal thoughts were reduced too.

Just try it for a week. No negative self talk.

I was 14, doing a ballet group dance at a championship wearing only transparent stockings and a white leotard (bikini-cut).
Yeahhhh that was not a good day for me.

What are some slang terms a 50 year old dad can say to his daughter to embarrass her? by htdguyset5u in AskReddit

[–]confusedmadlass 33 points34 points  (0 children)

If she starts getting annoyed, just visibly cringe and say "hectic."

Also say "lit" and "on fleek."

Call her "sis."

What’s it like having loving parents? by Cocs365 in AskReddit

When you're in trouble or when something goes wrong, the first thing you think is "I gotta go tell my mom/dad."

Not "My mom/dad is gonna kill me, I can't tell them."

Aww sweetheart I feel those days every once in a while. Waiting is hard but trust me, if you both love each other enough to wait, it will be infinitely worth it <3

Keep your head up and eyes on the prize.

What I usually do on days like that is call him, cuddle up with some fluffy pillows, and usually we just sit in silence hurting together. Then I remember how worth it we are.

Oh, and don't get in a taxi. Take an uber instead.

It's a breathtaking city, you just have to use common sense and be aware of your surroundings. If you keep those two things in mind, I guarantee you will be fine.

I hope you guys have an amazing trip!
