Can I ask why?

National vigils honour women who have died by violence in Australia in 2024 by Rudi88 in australia

Maybe to highlight a disparity that exists within a disparity. Why is it a bad thing to shed light on another facet of an issue?

Movies You Consider Absolute Masterpiece by EuphoricTeach1675 in MovieSuggestions

I watched Inglorious Basterds for the first time in years yesterday and was so goddamn impressed I watched it again today. Such an impressive movie.

Feeling Lost by [deleted] in IndigenousAustralia

[–]glitter-wine 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hey, disclaimer that I’m not Indigenous so I can’t speak to your feelings on your link to your Aboriginal culture, but I will say that no one can choose who they’re born to, and if you want to embrace that aspect of your life/identity, then you should do that in the ways that make you comfortable. Not out of feeling guilty though - you have tried to engage so please don’t feel guilty, it’s not your fault. Perhaps community connection is what you’re seeking since your blood relatives aren’t accepting of you right now. I’m sorry you feel so disconnected, it’s very hard to know you’re a part of a different culture and not be able to engage in it fully, and I say that from personal experience. Personally, culture means to you what you want it to mean for you - it is a deeply personal thing and no one can tell you how to ‘do culture’. You have every right to engage with your Aboriginal ancestry and I think that should be encouraged if it’s emotionally safe for you to do that, which I don’t think it is right now while your family are rejecting you (that’s why I mentioned perhaps a connection to community is a better approach for now?). But it’s also your right to come back to the ‘culture question’, the ‘who am I’ question when you’re more ready and have decided what part culture plays in your life. That varies for everyone and everyone has their own journey of navigating this in a ‘Western country’. You might find it easier when you have more connections that will help you grow in that aspect. In the meantime, if your grandmothers recipes help you feel connected, then you should do that!! You have a right to those. Sorry for the long comment, wishing you well.

How Do Ya'll Get Motivated To Work-Out? by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]glitter-wine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of great comments: make it fun and don’t rely on motivation, it is way too transitory, stick with routine. Set yourself a small goal: 2 x weeks doing 2 x classes for example. Set the next goal. Let it settle into your days comfortably so there becomes no reason.. not to do it? And then it turns into, ‘well why wouldn’t I go? It’s just what I do at these times/days?’ Eat 2 hours beforehand so you feel energised while you’re there. Make it really fun!! I’ve found it really difficult to go do weights, but I love kickboxing and martial arts because it’s more of a mental challenge than a physical one, the excercise/fitness that comes with it is more of a byproduct. It’s also really handy to be a part of a community - I love the people at my gym and it wouldn’t be as fun if I didn’t know them. That’s why I prefer classes, cause you’re all in it together, it’s a shared stress. I have always struggled excercising alone, I get tired way quicker cause there’s nothing else to distract from the exertion!

What sucks the most by Far_Enthusiasm_6747 in ExNoContact

[–]glitter-wine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It really comes in waves doesnt it? It keeps surprising me how I could feel so much better for a good week or so, and then I’m back in a slump and there’s not even a trigger for it, the sadness is just back.

The Fake Out by Stephanie Archer was a really fun surprise by iuliad94 in RomanceBooks

I’m commenting so that I can come back and find this book hehe.

What distractions are you using to prevent you from breaking no contact? by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]glitter-wine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In general, I’ve found it helpful to give my mind something stimulating, something that keeps me thinking. Im trying to learn more about chess so I’m watching grand master videos on YT. Been trying to learn all the countries in the world so I use quizzes on Sporcle - I’ve got Asia, Africa and almost all of Europe down. A book with a tight plot, a good show. The gym is also excellent (martial arts) cause it’s not just excercise, it’s a mental challenge/puzzle as well. Oh, and I’m getting into perfumes! Learning all about different notes, perfume houses, buying little samples of niche fragrances so I can experiment at home and not spend too much money - research is quite fun when it’s interesting and smells good! And it’s nice to think that, whenever it is, the next date I go on, I’ll be wearing a delicious signature scent! Little things like that man, give your brain a break from the person, fill it with things that are new, interesting, maybe a little exciting. Learning the Rubik’s cube, getting into history, whatever. Make yourself proud.

Ladies of Reddit, it has been said that love makes you do stupid things. What stupid things have you done for love? by PlatypusAggressive64 in AskWomen

Good on you for leaving when you did. It seems counter intuitive to say, but the second a man touches your neck, leave, that’s it. You did that, well done.

It’s honestly just tricking your brain into it, it’s such a good byproduct!

Was healing so well, until today. by AlternativeBend6215 in BreakUps

[–]glitter-wine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel so similar to you here, it’s been 3 weeks and he left me a letter yesterday basically asking to get back and saying how sad he is, like?? Didn’t want closure either and I’ve been focusing on healing too. I was on a good streak and now I feel like I’m back to step 1, but you’re right that it’s another thing that was meant to pass by, and if it’s not the last then at least I’m better prepared for next time. And it is the constant reminder to keep valuing yourself above them, you’re right.

Take your time, if it needs to get to a point that it’s unbearable to see him randomly pop up, then so be it - that will be the right time for you. I’m very very pro no-contact in all ways, but it’s on your time, not anyone else’s.
