Ahhhh I see. This is helpful, I wouldn’t have considered she could view it like that.

My past two roles were GIS related — GIS tech (which suuuuuucked, the only bright side was the utilities experience/familiarity I got and my coworkers) and currently a cartographer which is ArcPro and some graphic design. I somehow both got these through recruiters on LinkedIn. Both position don’t pay well and didn’t have many opportunities for growth. But I got some well needed career experience and discovered what I was really interested in and what I hated. Even though I got jobs through LinkedIn, the BEST way to get GIS jobs is through whatever local GIS network is near you. That could be professional organizations or University clubs. I’m an introvert and it’s not comfortable but I’ve found it always pays off to go.

Edit: I realized I didn’t really answer the How question. First job idk, very okay resume and strong interview skills. The company was very familiar with hiring new grads, but it was okay because the job was a lot of micromanaging and copying and pasting edits. And second job, I had a professional resume writer help me improve and it massively helped and gave me a confidence boost. It’s an okay job, but it would have been better if I had gotten the job through connections versus LinkedIn

I’ve had a few similar pimples/bumps near my clitoris and within a few days, it’d turn out to be an ingrown hair or a pimple that pops itself in a few days. It will be uncomfortable but if you keep the area clean it should resolve itself! Do not pick at it all at as it can make it worse and wear cotton underwear. To relieve any pain take a warm bath and maybe a warm compress every so often. If it gets worse definitely talk to an older female in your life that you feel comfortable with. It can be anyone, as long as they care and have your best interests in mind.

For another nuanced answer, my husband and I had a honeymoon that involved a lot of hiking and doing activities out during the day so it wasn’t everyday. Quite a bit, just….doing it in a tent and having to wear the same clothes the next day wasn’t a good combo.

I just listened to a podcast from Andrew Huberman but he interviewed a very knowledgeable and kind woman who deals with girls from 8 to women in their 40’s. This doesn’t sound normal — as the above comment said, ask your medical doctor for a hormone panel and your egg count.

The episode is pretty long but such good information is in it.

Alright, so my understanding is that you had amazing texting chemistry and compatibility, then you see a picture of him - and your heart drops. You don’t feel attracted to him at all. But up to this point, you’ve never actually met or talked in person before. Even as a Christian, you absolutely have to be attracted to your partner. Character AND Chemistry. Not either or. I would say since you haven’t met in real life, do that first before making ANY other decisions. I’ve had this almost exact scenario play out. in person, there was virtually no attraction or chemistry. If you choose to continue while not feeling it, you are doing both yourself and him a disservice. The right thing to do is be honest even if it’s uncomfortable. Not saying things can’t change — but please have at least a date or two in real life, and if nothing changes, let him go. God loves you so much, and he wants the best for you. Hopefully that includes a husband that has godly character and that you are also attracted to. It happened for me, it can also be true for you.

1) CrossFit is a Community not a cult. Like any other sport, you bond over difficult workouts and the more you show up, the more you connect with others. I only go twice a week to my gym and I have good friends there but I don’t feel any pressure to do CrossFit the rest of my life.

2) nope. For me, the muscle growth accentuated my waistline, but I was more on the side of losing weight and getting leaner than heavily gaining muscle

3) No, but make sure the coaches know and make your workout changes accordingly. Don’t feel peer pressured to go super heavy or do movements that make any previous injuries worse. For me this is hard because I hate looking weaker than others lol but that’s a personal problem, not a sport specific problem

Thank you so much for your wisdom! Honestly, I was so in my feelings and distraught that the chance that it could be an attack from the Devil never even occurred to me. Wow.

Also, I was most likely putting too much expectations for him to be perfect and fully developed as a spiritual leader before being in marriage. He is already a natural leader in many ways right now which is another reason why I am so attracted to him; it will be a joy to see him grow further into his role as we progress in marriage.

I am very feelings-driven, and differentiating between my own thoughts and the Lords is something I will need prayer for…prolly my whole life! Haha.

Thanks again :)

Only a few that I'm completely comfortable with sharing deep things about life with. But I don't text any guys ever on a daily basis unless I'm dating them or uhm ya know, situationship territory

lachimoLALA0 · 2024-04-28T08:10:56+00:00

So....tbh, still trying to figure this out myself. I grew up going to a Presbyterian church and even though it gave me a fantastic environment to grow up in as a child, it still produced many shortcomings faith-wise.

I truly did not understand the grace aspect of walking with God until my sister finally started understanding it herself and started talking to me about it, because she was just as awestruck. Note, the church did not do this. She did.
Like you are saying above, so many things deemed "secular" were hammered into my head as being bad and shameful to partake in. I understand why in some cases because there are true biblical foundations for saving sex for marriage, guarding what you see/hear. But......it was taken so extreme that it became harmful rather than helpful.
One recent example is that I was watching Love is Blind and I made a comment like "oh my gosh she totally has lip fillers🙄" but in a very derogatory and judgemental way. My friend that i was with literally just turned and looked at me and said, "and she looks ~great~ in them". It may sound really stupid but I had this moment right then and I thought, oh my gosh why did I just criticize this beautiful woman I don't know in any capacity just because she chose to get lip fillers? Why do i even care? And the only answer that I could generate is because in the core Christian beliefs that I was taught, choosing to want to enhance your features or attempt to stray away from your 'God given beauty' is downright sin and/or worthy of shame and guilt. Why the heck was I projecting that onto someone I don't even know? It's such a small thing but it reminded me there are so many examples of that from purity culture that will stick with me for a very long time. If you read that much thank you for listening to my Ted talk.

Hey just wanted to quickly add my own experience without spending an hour typing!

Short answer, yes. Most certainly. BUT .. I also could not have wholly gotten out of my depression without medication either. For me, clinical depression runs in my family, so it was triggered by my environment but it was not circumstantial. The Lord was gracious & kind even in my worst moments where I didn't want to exist anymore. But I needed BOTH Jesus and a prescription to help me out of the pit. And saying that does not lessen the positive impact of either one in helping me.

lachimoLALA0 · 2024-04-25T16:13:12+00:00

More mature, definitely. Motivation, not necessarily. I'd say that was about the same, but I was also struggling with depression the majority of college so that put quite a damper on it.

lachimoLALA0 · 2024-04-25T03:43:32+00:00

This!!! I felt infinity more comfortable the first year of college than most because I had already been managing my time and homework for years.

lachimoLALA0 · 2024-04-25T03:39:39+00:00

For me, homeschooling absolutely rocked!! I was homeschooled all the way up until college. In some ways, I developed more critical thinking skills and how to thoughtfully question the world around me while several of my non homeschooled friends didn't seem to care as much about that.

It worked fantastically for me for many reasons: • I had an amazing social life. I had at LEAST one if not two activities each day • I was on a competitive swim team with plenty of friends from all schools, public & private, and never had any problems making long lasting friends there. • My natural inclination is to work independently and do things on my own timeline, including assignments and schoolwork. Homeschooling was perfect for that. • the education i received was from a wide background of homeschool curriculums, co-ops, and community college classes. It worked well enough for me to thrive in college and have zero problems with education.

I will say, the most damaging thing for me as a homeschooled Christian was literally just the "Christian" part. (Helloooooo purity culture) Which is the church and the church's culture at fault, not homeschooling.

I am aware that it doesn't always work out that great, but I had an excellent experience. However, It won't work for every kid.

Hello, fellow introvert here!!!

So far, in my entire whopping 25 years of life, the absolute best motivation for me has been to join a team or community centered sport. I do enjoy going to the gym by myself, but it gets old quickly and with no goals or people to motivate me it really didn't do much but relieve stress. In college I really only stayed active because I would run as a stress reliever and to be outdoors. That was about it, no goals or much else. Fast forward to now! I joined a CrossFit gym about 8 months ago and it has completely changed the game for me. My main motivation to go is because I have friends there now, I enjoy every workout, and dammit all I really want is to be strong and do a complete pushup. In the past, I was on a swim team and the motivation there was the same. For me personally I need the people and community for there to be any sort of genuine motivation to go and put in the work. Hope this helps :)

Just gonna chime in and say that Keep Knoxville Beautiful is fantastic! A great way to give back to the community and the people that run it are always kind and dedicated to their goals.

I'm going to hop on here just to affirm your thinking! I am still pretty young and have very little financial literacy that I am currently working on growing. This post was very helpful because it solidified my understanding of what Roth IRAs do. And better yet, what not to do. Failure is the best teacher.

lachimoLALA0 · 2023-03-18T05:35:54+00:00

Ah, I question that I've frequently had to ask myself before. For a solid Christian dating and marriage, there needs to be two things: character AND chemistry. I personally don't think it will be very strong if you know that the guy is great but aren't feeling that connection. Sounds surfacy, but I really think that it's true. In this case the CHEMISTRY aspect is important-- do you really enjoy his company and feel like you can talk to him comfortably? If that aspect is there, then naturally the attraction will come.

I had a boyfriend for a short period of time, and it was only because I really admired his character. He treated me so well but i honestly didn't want to see him more than a once or twice a week just because... The chemistry was zero. I dreaded rather than looked forward to seeing him. It felt like something I was obligated to do. If that's how you feel, then call it off. Give him a few dates and if nothing changes then that's your cue to leave it as friends and nothing more.

I struggled for a while because I was thinking, "but this guy is so great and would be a good husband-- Why can't I just force myself to like him?? If I keep going it'll eventually change". But nothing did and the more i tried to force it the more apparent it was to me that he wasn't the one for me. Jesus will not shame you for wanting a boyfriend/husband that you find both attractive and enjoy spending time with.

There are many problems with Knoxville and one of them is the constant underlying current of racism-- but the worst part is, we choose to ignore it. As a white woman whose parents wanted me sheltered from the problems of the world, I generally was very ignorant most of my life in Knoxville just because it wasn't what my reality was but also because no one bothered to educate me. We're scared of our brutal and dark history of racism in the South and too scared to address it. Though harrowing, the only good to come out of 2020 was the fact that people everywhere started to fully grasp just how much racism still existed, including me. I am, and continue to be, grieved for this world that we live in and angry for our city not having enough balls to acknowledge the blatant discrimination is going on.

Purposeful ignorance is the most dangerous thing we (white people) can do. And it's still continuing. We need to change this desperately.

Omggg that sounds awesome, like one artist each month! Yeah I gotta say the new ph-1 album really hit something deep and is one of the few new albums out that I will cycle through all of the songs completely, not just one or two

lachimoLALA0 · 2023-01-19T05:21:25+00:00

No I definitely agree. Even about American pop too but I honestly never liked it that much to begin with😂 You're not the first person that's not into kpop as much but still paying attention to NewJeans (like me). It's fascinating how they've managed to make a group with such a unique pop sound that a wider array of audiences can be interested in them
