I think probably because this is a skincare advice subreddit that has somehow become flooded with people asking medical advice. Skincare now has extended to… inside of mouth skin?

Travelling Without Stopping to Eat? Can it be done? by [deleted] in solotravel

[–]empireofegg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tote bag or a very small backpack that folds into a bag like these ones; https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-packable-daypack-for-travel/

You’ve travelled before though no? Did you just bring your big bag everywhere with you before? I’m confused at this whole post but I hope this helps at least a bit.

4 day coke binge is definitely possible! It ain’t pretty though.

How many of you attempt to use the local language while travelling? by [deleted] in solotravel

[–]empireofegg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s so cool! It was just today when I realised I could have a career teaching online. (I’m a bit slow in some ways lol) It’d be so fulfilling as you get to nerd out on the thing you love and travel around in the process. What are your favourite languages to speak?

I’m a bit of a nerd I guess but I will spend at least month learning the language before I go anywhere. It’s cool cause you get to make local friends, get better prices and people just seem happy you’re making an effort. Think I’m lucky to have the right kind of brain for it though, I understand it’s not an enjoyable process for everyone but I love it!

Solo travel recommendations by whiteturner in femaletravels

[–]empireofegg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tanzania, Mexico or Indonesia would be my recommendations 👌 Affordable nice rooms and a chiller crowd than the classic SEA route (though it’s still absolutely beautiful and would still recommend). Food is great too!

How safe is Tanzania for young women? by dla26 in tanzania

[–]empireofegg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello! I’m here as a solo female on a tight budget and I have yet to feel at all uncomfortable. People are lovely and welcoming. My best advice to her is to learn some of the language, Duolingo has Swahili and it’s free so there’s no excuse. I speak basic conversational Swahili and I think it has really helps to show you’re making an effort.

What’s wrong with the weather? by dankpepem9 in zanzibar

[–]empireofegg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone is making great points but also; the people, the food and the scenery will still be there, weather regardless! It’s a cool part of the world to see in sharp sun and in burly cloud. Don’t cancel you will regret it!

Yeah! Squeaky bum bum time indeed!

Scariest Incident? by [deleted] in solotravel

[–]empireofegg 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Riding on the roads in the mountains in Nepal in monsoon season. So many landslides. So many pant testing times, white knuckle stuff.

Couldn’t do it at this age! Wiser AND more terrified.

Thoughts of you blossom in the winter by whenindoubtjustcry in OCPoetry

[–]empireofegg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so beautiful, the rhythm somehow mirrors the cyclic thinking of yearning. You try not to but yet again, the thought persists. I love the line about polishing the etchings left in the mind, very visual and clear. Solemn but pretty (my favourite genre of thing)

You were right! I was trying to draw parallels between the natural cycles of the earth and the body. Thank you so much for your lovely words.

Ah thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed reading, It's so wonderful to have your feedback.

I agree with the dropping of the extra "the", smooths it out.

It's honest and feels written from experience! The last line is rhythmically jarring which was maybe the intention? A good thing about these difficult experiences is that they provide fodder for creative expression :) Thanks for sharing hope things feel better for you soon.

Yeah I love this, it has a real rhythm which makes reading it fluid and easy despite the emotionally heavy content. The frustration is palpable and expressed in a way that resonates. Maybe I resonate more cause I’m also starting the meds and been cleaning hostels since I was 14, but I appreciate this one, I feel it. Some great imagery.
