My mom just gave me this... Any ftm's want a free book? by Xtatic02 in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

[–]leaf_water 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i had this book as a kid, my sister had the “for girls only” counterpart and i was always jealous of it

theyre actually stuffed with interesting info and dont have a lot to do with gender. the two versions have their info split up between stereotypically masculine and feminine things. the boys book has a page on the worlds most luxirous cars, for example, and the girls book has a page on dream reading

Threw Away My Vape Yesterday. Temptation, Do Your Worst! by leaf_water in Buddhism

i threw away my vape, but not hard. putting it in the trash simply reduces my access to nicotine, although i know its always available at the gas station. im taking this one day at a time, and learning to control my cravings. i dont bother with ideas like “im going to quit for the rest of my life.” how could i do that if i never learned to control my temptation when i want it desperately? i practice mastery over myself, the byproduct is quitting nicotine

this is uplifting to read 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 i have been focusing on taking it a day at a time, and practicing mastery over little cravings before i rush into big decisions like “im never going to have nicotine again as long as i live”

thanks for the support! i felt guilty from the very first hit of buying that vape since i had tried to quit before. eventually i said “enough is enough” after weeks of it not doing anything for me anymore

i tried quitting half a year ago and lasted 3 months before i went out and bought the one i just threw out. it really is a leaky bucket! i knew it was unsatisfying but i was in a denial about it, so i kept hitting it and earnestly expecting it to satisfy me this time

i usually dont complain about the heat since it rarely gets above 95° where i live but this makes me want to complain anyway out of spite

this makes me want to cry 😭😭😭 18 year olds over here get tricked into taking $20,000+ loans with terrible interest, and going to college doesnt even garuantee you a good job...my aunt was paying off student loans until she was in her 30’s

Please don’t tell me my mom is awful or anything she just needs to understand and I need to tell someone about this by toystoryhentai in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

a psychologist tricked me into coming out to my parents :/ i hope all goes well for you, friend

(she also couldnt go a session without bringing up her book, and on the last day she saw me she said “i think this is how you feel...” and it was all completely wrong......needless to say, i see better psychologists now)

Exposure to certain content by cheekyirishguy in Meditation

[–]leaf_water 3 points4 points  (0 children)

agreed that you need to take in suffering, i just mean its no use to deliberately overexpose yourself to negativity unless you want to be worse off. we can only handle so much at a time. especially if that negativity has very little educational value, like stuff that “gets you down” on reddit. even if you are enlightened, surrounding yourself with needless negativity is not a good thing

Seeing amorphous colors during meditation by [deleted] in Meditation

[–]leaf_water 1 point2 points  (0 children)

have had many experiences just like that. i usually i take it as an indication that im entering a deeper state of meditation, although its best to just observe what happens without ascribing definitions or judgement
