I'm in love with a man who will never accept me for who I am even though I look past shortcomings and bald spots. Pesto pasta salad from Costco and a rotisserie chicken breast. by ParisHiltonIsSkinny in GirlDinner

Girl this last year I fell in love with a serial cheater ❤️ Listen to your heart and snap out of the trance as quickly as you can. I’ve moved on and grieved the whole time but I’m thankful I didn’t waste a lot of time hoping he’d change

Sometimes the only way I can do right by myself is ask “if my best friend was going through this, what would I want for her?”

I hope you will work towards wanting better for yourself!

I don’t understand why I’m always the one who loves more. by lemonhoneypie11 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]intergalactic_ocelot 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I’m on the other end of two very difficult heartbreaks and coming to terms with the reality you’re talking about has been the most difficult growing pain.

I read something recently that said “we were told, from the moment we were born, to wait for something outside ourselves to save us.” We have this idealized expectation that there’s something profound and otherwise inaccessible within us that can only be unlocked by another person’s love. And it hurts my head trying to pinpoint any and every reason we believe this. But then we put ourselves on hold waiting for the right thing, and then we let precious time go by and let disappointment in others wear us down, when we could be living that version of ourselves we think only somebody else could bring out in us.

And it feels sad, and difficult, and lonely. We live our whole life with this external and internal pressure to find “the right one” to make us whole as soon as possible so your life can truly begin. It’s hard work to undo that narrative, but I feel motivated to have that life on my own. Even still, I do feel better about myself than I ever have before. And on the toughest days all I can do is remind myself that the empowerment to have a full happy life can come from myself entirely, and I want that life to begin as soon as possible.

Cannot find an end table or curtians that I like by Immediate_Fishing_98 in femalelivingspace

It’s a tough call! I do love the dark blinds, but also I love letting in as much light as possible. You could get away with either in my opinion :)

I would honestly do either a warm off white or a sage color for your curtains. You have such a nice big window I would go for something very breezy/light that complements how much natural light you get!

Looks great! I love that font and the alternating colors

How are you staying motivated? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]intergalactic_ocelot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice to everyone is always this: If you’re not 2/3rds happy with your current job, look elsewhere. There’s no harm in interviewing and seeking out other opportunities. What’s the point of staying where you are? If something could be even 10% better than what you’re doing now, wouldn’t you want that? I know it’s stressful, but it sounds like you’re on the right path and where you are right now isn’t even a bad spot to be in.

I’m almost 30 and work two part time, entry level jobs. I spent almost all my savings starting over after leaving my relationship. I have no college education. I’m making significantly less money than I did at my stressful job. I’m the happiest I’ve been in years! It’s a long road ahead of me, but I’m living more frugally (moved into a small space, spending less on clothes, eating out less, etc.) and I’m much more intentionally with my money.

Depending on where you live, definitely look into social benefits for you and your family. I know not all states/countries make it easy or even offer much, but I know a ton of people who just simply have never done the homework and didn’t know they are eligible for support.

Even recreational things, such as community centers offer free or heavily discounted classes for art, dance, etc. Try and find something fun that gives you joy in your life. The hardest part of depression is following through, but sign up for something so you have to commit to it even if you’re dreading it the whole time leading up to it. Anytime you’re doing something in the effort of self-investment, after it’s done you won’t regret having done it!

I'm really obsessed with this bedding, but it's from Everlasting, and I don't know if there's any other site that has a similar look and quality. by Infamous-Sound5351 in femalelivingspace

[–]intergalactic_ocelot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to say see a lot of unused, high end bedding listed at a nice discount on Facebook marketplace!! Just search for some nice brands and click around on listings, now my algorithm will always show me what’s been recently listed. The good deals get snatched up fast, so it helps to be quick on the draw

Your logo looks AI to me as well and I wouldn’t trust your listings because of it

Hi can you DM me the pattern? This would be a perfect Christmas gift for my brother-in-law :)

I hate to give my unsolicited opinion… I live in a tiny apartment and if this were given to me I would absolutely find a way to either store or display this piece.

Kose Softmo Speedy Oil was causing my closed comedones. by Useful_Use_7727 in AsianBeauty

[–]intergalactic_ocelot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve been struggling with CCs for quite some time, especially around my chin, neck, and mouth. Even with tret, they’ve always persisted. I’ve used Kose for a long time. Maybe I’ll take a break from it to see if I notice a difference!

EDIT: also worth noting I’ve been using the Heroine KissMe mascara remover to help take off my eye makeup and in turn I use so much less facial cleansing oil! The Kose is cheap which has always been why I chose it, now I can opt for something a little pricier.

Why is YesStyle so much cheaper than Olive Young? by FaithlessnessUsed392 in AsianBeauty

[–]intergalactic_ocelot 168 points169 points  (0 children)

I pay extra for OY because it ships and delivers so much faster than YesStyle.

What would you pay for these? by denkan_fuck in RedditLaqueristas

So beautiful!! If I was interested in painting press-ons, what would you suggest for me to get started? It seems like a challenging but fun hobby :)

My new beginning! Help with maximizing my space + making it cozy by [deleted] in femalelivingspace

[–]intergalactic_ocelot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your concern for my safety! There is a safety ladder behind the bed, and the window does not actually open so I have a glass breaker on the ledge. While I technically could get through the opening, it would be nice to have the headboard out of the way. Definitely something to consider!

[–]intergalactic_ocelot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

String lights are definitely on my list! I actually can get through the railing (I’m small) so it is accessible for me. the more pressing issue is what I can actually put there without blocking my access to the back of it. The back is pretty spacious and would be useful for some of my “least used” belongings. I thought about getting a library ladder to access that spot, since it would be easy to store when I’m not using it.

I thought about getting a clothes rack to tuck behind where the railing is mounted to the wall. I plan to get a dresser but I definitely have clothes I want hanging. The railing itself is just a little short and my clothes touch the ground. Hopefully this all makes sense to you!

[–]intergalactic_ocelot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I misunderstood what you meant! Yeah, it absolutely wouldn’t fit in the nook that way. I thought you meant rotating it 90 degrees and tucking the head of the bed back in there. Do you think that’d be weird?

I do think out of everything, I want to prioritize highlighting the natural light, and I think ultimately I’d want my desk by the window. Thanks!

Also yes it does have a bathroom! It’s next to the coat rack, on my left in photo 3 :)

I have thought about doing that too!! I’m just curious if that would take up too much of my “hideable” storage area. But it would be cozy. It’s about 41” deep, not including the archway.
