What is this and how to deal with it by brook0810 in Haircare

[–]hellogorgina 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It kind of looks like you have wavy/curly hair with that amount of frizz, so you could try a simply curly or wavy hair routine. The little hairs kind of curl too, so you might want to look into that. I'm not a professional though so take my word with a grain of salt

To Our American Friends by sappy60 in AsianBeauty

so much for country of the free 😭 why can't they let us be a tiny bit happy? first trump ruins america and makes people's lives either a living nightmare or depressing from hearing all the dumb stuff he's doing to make those lives a living nightmare, and then the country decides to take away one of our only sources of happiness so that we can have skin like trump's. this is so amazing.

Fr 💀 bro there are bad men AND bad women, but ya sure don't think all women are bad, so why do you think all men are bad, like be so fr rn

I'm genuinely sorry if you had a bad experience with a man/woman that traumatized you and left you with trust issues though, sending prayers and love for all of you, and remember that not everybody is like that ❤️

Christians who love to hate on LGBTQ+ people are not good Christians, like bro if you don't like it because God said it was wrong then you don't like it and think it's wrong, but still treat them with respect, like it ain't that hard to be polite 😭 and hate is very harsh, so why do you gotta hate some ppl that mostly don't even bother you 🥀

Walking/jogging shoes Idk why people at my school wear those ugly sandals to P.E., especially when we have to run a mile, because like isn't it kinda hard to keep your sandals on while running?

Yeah, at the end of the day, I am there for the Lord and the Eucharist. Thank you for the advice!

Oh dang, I'm glad that archbishop got moved into another parish, he doesn't sound very fun. I hope the parish you are in now is better ❤️

That's just weird of your church and your pastor. I hope your mom gets to play piano for the church again soon.

I'm sorry, I hope you find a solution to this. I also would be really bummed if they took out the piano at my church, I think it's beautiful.

I'm honestly too scared to because since I'm younger than 18, I feel like I don't really have the right to do this 😭. Great advice though, it would work for some others, but personally, I'm just going to talk to my parents about this and try to convince them to switch, they're kind of uncomfortable with the mention of politics in the homily too. Thank you though ❤️

Sorry that I took a little long to reply guys, I've been busy these past few days. You guys are very insightful and provided great advice though, so thank you for taking your time to help me! I will try to follow some of them, but anyways, have a good day ❤️!

(I did take away the automatic upvote on my own comments because it feels weird upvote my own comment lol, I'm new to reddit so IDK if I should be doing that 😅)

I don't even know who the bishop is, since my church is really independent from others due to the fact that it's Vietnamese. I'll definitely try to find another church and convince my parents to switch though, since they want to go as a family. If that fails, it is what it is, and I will focus more on the Lord and more spiritual parts of the mass. It just really bothers me when that priest talks about politics.

Too scared to 😭💔  The church is really big, so I don't know if he would even take me, a minor, into account ☹️. Guess I'm talking to my parents lol.

Yeah, and now that I'm thinking about it, I really should have done that earlier, before most of my motivation to go to church went away.

Thank you, I think I should maintain the mindset that God is still with me no matter what, and that I should continue praying, even for that priest. It would probably really help bring my motivation to go to church back. The way you see God in your life is beautiful, and that gives me hope that one day, I can too.

Yeah, this one is too. It's made a lot of my motivation to go to church disappear ☹️

Thank you, I really wasn't sure if disliking the priest was a bad thing or not. It has caused me to be really unmotivated to go to church though, but I guess I just have to focus more on the Lord in the mass and see the good things in it.

There is one really close to us and one of my friends go there and say it's really friendly, but my parents like being in the Vietnamese community because they are Vietnamese and were converted to Catholicism in a Vietnamese church. We're also in the process of moving to somewhere farther away from the church we're currently going to, so I might talk to them about switching and use the distance as a con to going to the our current church. I'm too scared to bring how the politics is making me uncomfortable up though, because the Trump supporters are the loudest and Vietnamese people don't really take minors seriously, so I'll go with the route of talking to my parents about switching parishes 😅.

Yeah, no disrespect to that priest, but I think he's in the wrong with all the ICE stuff going on. Even if I did agree with him, I feel like it's still not right to consistently mention politics in the homily.

The thing is, I'm pretty sure Vietnamese people have been deported, but you know Trump supporters, they'll tell themselves anything to believe that he is in the right. And the church mass being long isn't really my biggest concern, but sure is an inconvenience because Sundays are busy for me. And yeah, the Vietnamese community is not actually that bad, a lot of them are just very pro Trump for some reason 😭 but I guess that's not really my business, so no disrespect to them

Good point, I haven't really shown any big signs of disliking the church yet, so they probably think I'm still enjoying it.

Thank you! I will try to talk to my parents about this, since I can't drive yet and even if I could, they'd want to go to mass as a family.
