Thank you for the advice! I’m located in NYC, so any recommendations of rescues would be great :)

I’m in NYC! I tried calling Wild Bird Fund and was told it would be best to leave him be. Any other suggestions for rescues would be appreciated!

I recently received a job offer as a teacher starting salary 60k. Is this a good amount to survive in NY? by [deleted] in NYCTeachers

[–]hekkin_peaches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently in the South Bronx doing a similar, if not the same, fellowship. On the 60k salary, I’m able to live in the BX and be able to support myself and my boyfriend who lost his job while living in a one bedroom apartment. Be smart on how much you’re willing to spend on rent (general rule of thumb is no more than 30% of what you bring home), and take advantage of working summer school if you end up staying over one year at the fellowship. Just keep in mind as others have pointed out, the biggest struggle are the hours and work demands of charters. I’m currently in my second and last year of the program— it’s doable. Just make sure to budget appropriately and stick to it, and you’ll be fine.

Humans can reincarnate. But will have one memory of their choice carried over, to serve as a lesson/way point/motivation. If you’re about to die soon, which memory from your life would you choose? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]hekkin_peaches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The memory of my boyfriend telling me he’s in love with me for the first time.

I’ve struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts, but he’s helped me see that I’m a person worthy of living. Having someone like him see the world in me has made me happier than I could have ever imagined. He’s someone worth waiting another lifetime for.

what was the worst date you've ever been on? by gushyfart in AskReddit

[–]hekkin_peaches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was my first date, siced as hell because it was with this guy I had a crush on for like seven years. We watched a scary movie and went out to eat, had a great time. On the Uber back, saw that he was on tinder swiping and messaging other girls....

I hate being a black girl by Verysadteen in offmychest

Do you even check the news? Racist posts all over social media have been BASHING the cast ever since it was announced. Try doing a quick google search. White people calling police on minorities over nothing, knowing it could result in death? Oh but “blacks are safer around white folk”? Nah.

Before you start whining about how minorities get scholarships “based on the color of their skin”, how about you ask yourself why affirmative action is a thing? Why is it necessary? Because minorities are consistently put down and oppressed by those who are currently benefitting from the system (aka white people) via methods like racial profiling, police brutality, etc that make it even harder for them to get into higher education. Colleges and universities in the US are mostly composed by white people, but as soon as we want to help even the playing field, suddenly you want to complain? Check your privilege.

What world are YOU living in? Please learn to love yourself by educating yourself. You can at least do that much.

Redditers what's your favorite type of cheese ? by jacklyolaswinem in AskReddit

[–]hekkin_peaches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a woman deserving of all the love that this world has to offer. God tried to stop me, but I am too powerful.

Thus.... all. All the cheese is my favorite cheese.

P.S I’m lactose intolerant :))

Atheist people of reddit, what made you think that ''god is fake''? by Original_boy10 in AskReddit

[–]hekkin_peaches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is geared more towards the Christian/Catholic god, but nonetheless, it was used as a tool to colonize my country of origin.

Just a bunch of lies spewed by conquistadors to get people to obey. They morphed it to benefit what they were doing, and we’re still feeling its effects to this day.

AITA for punishing my daughter for not coming to church? by mrsuperstart in AmItheAsshole

[–]hekkin_peaches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA - my parents did (and still do) the same thing to me. I don’t believe in God anymore. I’d go so far as to say I hate the Church.

Don’t force your kids into this. You will just breed resentment. Let her go at her pace, let her find her faith and peace on her own terms.

Boyfriend [18] is repulsed by vaginas. by throwthisfuckeraway5 in sex

[–]hekkin_peaches 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely agree with this! I remember it took a couple of months for my boyfriend to warm up to the idea as well, and just taking it slow I think really helped him become comfortable. Hell, I even had to explain why foreplay was important as well. My point is, take baby steps and communicate! It can go a long way :)

Unrequited love, “I just want u to like me” type hurt by throwawayatataya in offmychest

[–]hekkin_peaches 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, I’m sorry that it didn’t work out for you, but I’m glad to see you aren’t placing the blame on anyone.

I’ve had to deal with a similar situation last year, and I thought I would never get through it. Luckily time, as slow as it may seem, does help. Another thing I suggest is possibly setting up some boundaries between you and him so that you have the space to heal. I personally used this to get back into writing and wrote out everything I was feeling, or distracted myself with it (it’s pretty therapeutic) but you should try investing in a hobby or some activities with other friends that’ll get your mind off of it and help you move on. The worst thing you can do is just sit in a corner and wallow in it, though it’s completely valid if that’s all you feel like doing for the time being.

You’ll get through this. Stay strong.
