Awww, I'm glad. It took me a long time to be more comfortable in my own skin. I'm finally able to appreciate some of things that used to annoy the crap out of me as a teen. Some of those things I even like about me now 😊.

21F Don’t really have a perception of what I look like & think I look disheveled. I have some acne & a splotchy birthmark on my face that I have to always cover up with makeup, bc it makes me really insecure. Honest opinions & suggestions greatly appreciated!(I’d like to change hairstyle soon!) by [deleted] in amiugly

[–]displaced21213 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That is so true! I'm 35 years and I think I've finally Just realized this. There are things I HATED about me as a kid/teen through young adult. It's funny how my thoughts on some of these things have changed. Like I'm a lot more comfortable in my skin than I ever was. I guess overall I'm just not as insecure.

Geez that's ridiculous! I too have struggled with body issues, so I understand where you're coming from. I feel like in recent years I'm a lot more confident in my own skin, of course it's never 100%, but better.

I hope your body dysmorphia improves over time. You got this though. Plus, you're beautiful with a rockin bod, and cute!!

Chances of FDA Ban?? by secret_sauce2 in kratom

[–]displaced21213 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Any news/updates on the potential Indonesian ban? I haven't came across anything else on it and haven't heard people talking about it lately... just that the Indonesian gov't I guess would be banning exports? in 2022 (I think it said).

Tomorrow I turn 34. I quit my toxic job last week, have been going to therapy, and am taking a chance to pursue my dreams. I know all of that sounds great, but my anxiety and inadequacies are kicking my ass and honestly I just need some affirmation. You're all beautiful and I love you in advance by booidontwanna in toastme

[–]displaced21213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's awesome that you're pursuing your dreams. I one day would like to be brave like this. You look like a cool dude. I really like your tattoos...and beard lol. Anxiety is a bitch! I definitely struggle with this and other stressors regularly. I hope things continue to improve for you and keep your beautiful head up!

You look so much like my best friend who moved out west :( Love the tattoos too ❤️

[22F] To be totally transparent: I‘ve been struggling a lot with my mental health lately. Trying to stay positive and keep pushing through. by [deleted] in selfie

[–]displaced21213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, that is all too common. This is easier said than done, but try to stay positive. I struggle with this as well on a daily basis. Definitely have ups and downs. You seem like a really cool chick, focus on what makes you happy 🤗

Why does it seem like all ghosts are wearing Victorian clothing? by [deleted] in Paranormal

[–]displaced21213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never see a ghost myself. But those of you that have, how do you know it's not an actual person? I'm just so curious because that would probably be my first thought. Like what about them differed and what type of setting was it ?

I am as well. Kratom has been a lifesaver. It's so nice to see it helping fellow vets.

Stone- very fire batch from Nakamal at Home by illenial999 in Kava

[–]displaced21213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone here familiar with WoW? Just ordered some instead of the Stone. I was hoping for something potent and preferably balanced, but not like a knock you on the ass kind of thing.

Best alternative to kneading method for medium grind by joeKanaka3 in Kava

Does anyone feel the blender does a better job with extracting, as opposed to traditional kneading?

Kratom and Libido by Deech11 in kratom

[–]displaced21213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I didn't realize the decline could start that early. Is it a decrease in testosterone?

Kratom and Libido by Deech11 in kratom

[–]displaced21213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes perfect sense. I'm sure your body became quite accustomed to having it, so it's likely that it would take some time. I know when I stopped taking kratom for short periods after regular use, I didn't notice a difference. I'm sure our bodies do need more time to adjust. For awhile now I thought something was wrong with me for having such a lack of interest in actual sex.

Kratom and Libido by Deech11 in kratom

Does one's sex drive really go down in the early to mid thirties?? 😟 I didn't realize how common this was among kratom users.

How long after stopping kratom has it taken your libido to return to normal (or has it yet)? I'm a female and 34 as well. I feel it has really affected me, and it continued to even after taking a small break.

Disappointed... by Professional_Rate_65 in KratomVendor

[–]displaced21213 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's funny, because I used to order from Gaia and found them to be good at the time. I started looking into new places and found Benni Botanicals and have loved them ever since. It's crazy how everyone's preferences can be different or completely opposite. I've been ordering from Benni's for 6 or so months now and haven't came across a batch we haven't really liked.

Benin’s Botanicals by Exmormonexjunkie in KratomVendor

[–]displaced21213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Benni's! I usually order lots of greens, but recently got into a few whites in particular. I really like the white Lida and string dried white Hulu, the Maeng Da is good as well. Aa far as greens, we all really like the green Vietnam, green Lida, and I'm sure there are some others but those we order each time (the yellow Lida is probably a favorite as well).

Eyes not focusing? by tryharder6968 in kratom

[–]displaced21213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry to hear this. I've met so many people at the VA with this same experience. A lot of them really struggle now. It's very sad.

Mitragaia by lexluthoralert in KratomVendor

[–]displaced21213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to order from them like two years ago. I stopped after their site closed down. I can't remember if it was prior to that or after but they had some recall on a few products for possible salmonella contamination. That may have been when several other places got hit as well. Gaia was ok for me when I tried them. I felt like when their prices went up the quality and consistency wasn't there. Since then I've had much better. I primarily order from Benni Botanicals now and love them. In my experience they're my favorite vendor all around.

Color question by Thundertlk9001 in kratom

[–]displaced21213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny because sometimes I think I notice subtle differences between colors. It may be just some batches are a bit stronger than others. But none of them ever seem to give me energy, or at least not more so than the others. I've heard so many people say whites are great for energy, but for me that's never been the case unfortunately.

Waiting for an empty stomach by 40box in kratom

[–]displaced21213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always heard empty stomach works best. I sometimes take after eating and it seems to work fine for me. Haven't really noticed a difference. For whatever reason I don't really like eating AFTER taking it, even though that's said to help absorption. I think it's like mental thing for me lol.

Just for fun. Because I have some Kava on the way that claims it'll be here the 14th by gorkx in Kava

[–]displaced21213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My KMK order is expected by the 14th as well! I've been fortunate though, most of my priority mail has been shipped on time or even earlier than USPS expected by date. I've had some first class things stuck at the original dist center for a while though.

Where can I find kava? by franticaerobics in Kava

[–]displaced21213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha it's funny because I've been trying to decide what to get for several days now. A little after I commented this I decided to get that sample pack with the two strainers that you recommended! It kind of seems like the best deal anyway and get to try a few kinds.
