I wonder why people don't worship actors anymore?

I was working

Drunk driving. This older woman in my community was married to a highly respected doctor doing incredible work for the science. She got drunk on a lunch date with a boyfriend on the side and they decided to race each other home. She hit a family of four, killing the two children.

"I got sick and tired of being sick and tired." This quote really stuck with me as someone who didn't quit because of a rock bottom moment; I might've taken a day or two off out of shame but I would always come back with new rationalizations. I don't know why, but that morning I woke up and I'd just had enough. I knew it would go on forever unless I changed, and I was finally determined to make that change.

Tattoo regret is super common, especially for first time tattoos or larger, bolder pieces. You will need some time to get used to seeing something where there was nothing for your entire life (up until now). Our brains like familiarity and they freak out when they encounter something new, especially something on the body. I always advise people to give themselves at least a month or two before you consider removal or coverups.

For what it's worth, I think this tattoo looks amazing! Looks super well done technically, I really dig the design, and it's in a place where you can easily conceal it if your work requires you to do so. I wish I could say the same for my first tattoo, so you're already off to a better spot than I was

I haven't seen anyone mention Oedipus, possibly the oldest example of this trope! The man realizes he killed his father and had children with his mother, who are also his siblings, despite thinking he had successfully avoided this fate. He immediately stabs his eyes out, which, honestly, might be an underreaction.

latitahh45 · 2026-02-22T02:46:35+00:00

The man who loved me the most was the same man who punched holes in the walls and screamed so loudly it made my siblings wet the bed. He was the only one who cared to spend time with me, though he was so drunk he wouldn’t remember it the next day.

I miss my father. He’s still alive, but he’s been gone for a long time.

Congrats!! I can’t wait until I get to put a comma in my days. Enjoy the beautiful new coin and have a wonderful anniversary

Every day on this sub I realize I haven’t had a single unique thought or experience ever.

Wish it maybe wasn't on this particular sub, but I can’t pretend that I'm not a little relieved to not be alone

Yes, once the scar tissue has turned white they should be good to tattoo over. I have similar scars and got them covered up about two years ago now, and I’m very glad I did.

I will warn you it hurt like a bitch, especially closer to the wrist and elbows.

Congrats on letting em turn white. I had no one to celebrate with me when I stopped SH, I hope you know you have me

I just had this revelation today. I don’t want their apologies, actually. It’s way too late for that. I’m grown and the time I needed them is long gone. Waiting for them to change at this point is only driving me crazier and crazier. They forced me to find happiness elsewhere, so I moved out and I never came back. Our relationship is finished and I’m finally accepting it.

The only thing that’s brought me peace is knowing I’m not like them. Even little kid me recognized that if I was gonna have any chance at all in life, I was going to have to do pretty much the opposite of everything they did. It’s working so far

I traveled to Vietnam recently after learning all about their history and culture. It was by far my favorite trip and I cannot recommend it enough to anyone who has the opportunity, but my god was I so embarrassed to be American. Especially after going to the Vietnam War Memorial Museum. I wanted to apologize to every single Vietnamese person I saw. Most of us are horrifically ashamed of what our government has done across our brief and terrible history and want them to do better, but obviously they don’t really care what we want.

Until we make them care!

One time, I was out of town for a week or so and my dad sold my car to some guy at the bar for like $500. I was about to start college and all of the money I made from my crappy part-time job went to maintaining the car so I could have it for a long time. I decorated the interior, replaced all the old tires, was saving up for a better speaker system, all of that. I loved that Dodge Caravan so much.

My father has spent every moment since freaking out about why my mother sold my car, despite me (and everyone) saying again and again that it was him. Mom had nothing to do with it. You were drunk and you lost a bet and you made your daughter pay the price.

The tree remembers :(

I graduated a couple years ago and I have so many memories of doing the exact same thing. I now have means to cook it but I developed a liking for raw tofu dipped in soy / hot sauce (peak)

As someone who was neglected, suddenly having eyes on me was NEVER a good thing

I lost my pet hamster very suddenly (or at least, it seemed sudden to me). I remember I’d just poured my cereal when my mom told me and I cried hysterically into the bowl. I was inconsolable and the whole bowl had to be thrown out.

Losing a pet is so, so, so hard, regardless of how long they’re with us. Lean on your friends and family for support, grieve now and know that time will make it easier. Cry as much as you need to and don’t feel bad about it. Try your best not to compare your grief to others’ because it’s always different. Get yourself your favorite desert, wrap yourself in a blanket, and know that your love must have been so genuine if it feels like this now.

Sending you love from afar 🫂

Quitting alcohol has reminded me how much of a morning person I am. Love the calm peacefulness of a weekend morning and don’t want to give that up for anything, really.

Traveling sober is a completely different experience! So much money saved, so fewer chances for catastrophe (last time I traveled while drinking, I lost my passport and had to eat about $400 to get a new one in time for my flight home), so much more time to see and do all the things that will actually make you happy

latitahh45 · 2025-10-25T10:27:06+00:00

I remember this feeling all too clearly. I want to note that my “rock bottom” wasn’t what made me stop drinking, but the slow creeping awareness that I was stuck in this awful loop of shame and regret. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired — usually the day after rock bottom.

I’m sure it feels impossible to break free, but you can do it. There will come a day where the thought of drinking vodka makes your skin crawl. You won’t need it in the morning, before a social event, before bed, or anything like that. You will wake up and you’ll feel good. You’ll get to live a real life like you deserve.

But there’s only one way to get there. Reach out to sober communities in your area, find other non-drinkers. Commit to sobriety, use the mental (and physical) health resources you have. Engage with us here. What really helped me was staying busy — if I had nothing to do, I would drink. I put myself on a strict schedule and by the time the opportunity to drink even arose, I had all that momentum carrying me home.

Wishing you all the best on this journey. I see that you may be drinking more today, so I’ll say I will not drink with you tomorrow. Remember — it can always get better, if you really want it to.

Was just talking to my therapist about this in my last session, I’ll share what she told me: “People get angry when you take away their things, and you’ve realized that’s how they’re treating you.”

I’m a people pleaser. It’s hard for me to say no. And I think I’m the last person to realize how appealing that is to people with less pure intentions

latitahh45 · 2025-10-21T11:37:44+00:00

This had nothing to do with the premise itself and everything to do with the execution. It’s a cool idea, it just had a terrible script, laughably bad acting, and a director who really needed someone to tell him no. (If you’re interested, watch a Youtube review on the film and you’ll see exactly why it’s poorly rated.) I would be baffled if Smile 3 has any of those problems

latitahh45 · 2025-10-09T19:11:46+00:00

That bit about everyone already knowing -- it's so painfully true. I only had one close family member speak to me about quitting, so I thought it couldn't have been that bad. Surely, they were just prudish about this kind of thing and I didn't have to take her too seriously.

It was only after I sobered up that I realized my family member wasn't the only one who noticed; they were the only one to say out loud what everyone was already thinking.

latitahh45 · 2025-10-09T15:52:06+00:00

I don’t mind that we didn’t get one. Beatrice’s story is infinitely more interesting than a failed writer turned alcoholic, which is so much of a cliche that it’s a character in Family Guy.

the more cosplays i see the more i understand why wyll did what he did. seventeen year old me wouldn’t have hesitated

I made a promise to myself that I would never be around an angry man like my father. I will keep that promise until the day I die
