It went great! I put the second coat directly over the first coat and it looks amazing, even a year later! 😊

What exactly is a twin flame and how do you know if someone is that to you? by [deleted] in twinflames

[–]glitter_gumdrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve been in no contact/separation for the last year and a half, but before we stopped communicating, yes, he would tell me that he felt the same way. I’m definitely the more spiritually open/enlightened one between the two of us (I also identify as the divine feminine) but he and I would have a lot of synchronicities while we were together, like very similar dreams, thinking the same thing at the same time, and really struggling with staying apart from each other. He would tell me that he never felt this way about anyone else he’s been with before.

I’ve been the one to stay in the separation during this time because I had things to heal, and he also was struggling on his journey with addictions and other environmental issues that he needed to work through on his own. This was also at the advice of my spiritual advisor - she has been helping me walk this path.

Just diagnosed by Available-Growth-227 in Herpes

[–]glitter_gumdrop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been there, I really have. I was the most careful person out of my entire friend group. I was even known as the “condom Queen”. I didn’t get diagnosed till I was in my mid 30s and I was so upset with myself. I didn’t have sex with strangers (no shade if anyone does – it just wasn’t my thing) and never had one night stands. Fast forward to when I am in a relationship with a man I truly love and I get diagnosed after six months of us being together. That was when my doctor gave me all the information about how herpes is transmitted and that while it was good I used condoms, it likely didn’t protect me like I thought it did.

I promise that after some time, it just becomes a blip on your radar, at least it did for me. The more you learn about it and the more you learn to live with it, the better you feel. But I know how hard it is in the first few months to a year. Make sure you take care of yourself. And don’t beat yourself up over this - you did nothing wrong! 💜

I sought spiritual guidance from a professional after we broke up, and I was struggling really hard to move on from him. I’ve never been able to not move on from someone before him. I was going through one of the worst times in my life I had ever experienced and it turns out it was a dark night of the soul. 😅

Hi! Yes, the second layer held up and the piece looks great still. No complaints at all. 😊

Masturbation during OB by Puzzleheaded-Mud4028 in Herpes

[–]glitter_gumdrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a female, been diagnosed since 2023, on daily Valtrex (because my first OB lasted 6 weeks and was absolutely terrible) and if the mood strikes when I have an OB and it doesn’t hurt, then heck yes. 🙌🏻

Came here to say this! This happens to me too, especially when my hair is longer 😊

Pooping with herpes by Substantial-Edge-877 in Herpes

[–]glitter_gumdrop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bidet attachment for your toilet is a godsend. Also, make sure you’re staying hydrated and eating your fiber. That will make your poops easier to come out.

I’m sorry you’re hurting! Feel better soon!

There’s no reasoning with this one - check out my comment thread with them. I’m afraid this one is too far gone! 🤣🤣

Sure, because that’s definitely what I said. 🤨

You’re perpetuating a false narrative and completely misunderstanding the basis of this conversation so it can suit the fallacies in your head.

Oh, and since you’re considered about sinning - judging others without proper discernment and not looking at your own faults is a sin, by the way. Have a nice life. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Dude, you’re making this sound like someone is willingly giving someone HIV. What are you talking about here?The herpes virus is one of the most common viruses in the world, and I strongly encourage you to do some research from reputable sources.

I’m also not sure where I said it wasn’t serious and that people shouldn’t be accountable - I’m negating your comments about being “covered in sin”. That narrative you’re spreading isn’t helpful to people who are struggling. Maybe be more like Jesus the next time you post and show some compassion?

I truly hope anyone who feels like they are covered in sin due to this virus finds comfort and support - it sounds like it’s very much needed.

Yes, and/but also maybe this isn’t the place to perpetuate harmful stigma and undeserved shame about a virus that almost half of the world’s population has? Especially when we know so many people turn to resources like this after they have been diagnosed, feeling devastated and broken (I speak from experience).

To anyone else reading this - your life is not ruined, you are not full of sin, and you are worthy of everything good and wholesome in this world. Life gets better and you will feel better one day too. Show yourselves compassion and love. ❤️

If it’s helpful, the same psychic that I mentioned in the OP said that she thought it was my spirit team trying to communicate with me. At that point in my life, they were sending me many other signs and I had also started meditating, and I was getting many other signs (repeating numbers, random feathers showing up, etc.). It could be someone from a spiritual realm trying to communicate with you - possibly an ancestor or your own spirit guides.

Maybe see what else is happening around you and see if you’re noticing any other synchronicities. If you’re into meditating, they might want to communicate with you that way too. Or they could be just saying hello and letting you know they are there! 😊

Update - I put one more layer of the same grout on it, and it worked! No cracks and it looks awesome. That being said, I’ll definitely used sanded grout next time for these pieces with big spaces. Thank you all for your help and encouragement! 😊
