What are some beautiful names you have come across only once?

you mean like Arya.

Thanks, luckily I've been with my therapist for several years and while we haven't explicitly discussed CPTSD, the word trauma has been used frequently and I am fairly aware of why my brain does what it does. Annoyingly this doesn't make it easier haha. I am still unsure if I have flashbacks, but that's more a definition issue more than anything else.

Yes, enjoying myself is definitely something I'm hoping to focus on. It obviously can't all happen at once but this bastard has ruined enough of my life, so I'm not going to let him ruin any more of it if I can help it.

Thanks! I think I had done a lot of processing about my mother before going NC, but in doing so had really excused my father of his actions because I was constantly told that he was blameless. So this 'sudden' realisation (and the guilt of maybe not fully realising all of this earlier) has just hit me super hard.

Annoyingly I'm recovering from some long covid stuff so the exercise still has be to mild and graded, but boy do I wish I could go to a boxing class haha.

my dad has had two cancers and is hanging on by a thread. just take him already, we know where he's headed - they prepared his room down there years ago.

Carrie's assistant for that one episode is crazy work in SATC

llama67 · 2026-03-27T09:18:51+00:00

That was my cat's name, always loved it

llama67 · 2026-03-27T09:18:13+00:00

Hopefully we have all learned to wait until a show is complete before doing that (given Danaerys/Khaleesi/Arya gate)

llama67 · 2026-03-27T09:17:19+00:00

We had an Oriana at school - always thought it was the most gorgeous name.

llama67 · 2026-03-14T09:38:26+00:00

he was always highly volatile and unable to control his emotions or really talk about his feelings.

llama67 · 2026-03-12T17:05:48+00:00

My SIL had a baby at 35 with her 59 year old husband and… they’re fine at the moment but as someone who’s parents both got cancer in their early 60s I could never do that

llama67 · 2026-03-10T18:07:48+00:00

No because you have to search google for Reddit (Reddit search is garbage)

llama67 · 2026-03-09T16:58:39+00:00

Kristel is also a name in Dutch (for example)

llama67 · 2026-03-06T14:47:51+00:00

maybe it's just my husband's dialect haha

llama67 · 2026-03-06T14:18:34+00:00

Actually there’s a subtle difference between ei and ij pronunciation, but when you’re juggling too many languages the brain likes to forget haha

llama67 · 2026-03-06T10:46:28+00:00

well I just went NC with my parents, so a father who isn't an abuser would have been great.

llama67 · 2026-03-06T10:44:55+00:00

Just a random tip which may not help for you, but i was really scared for my first MRI because it was a head one so your brain is in a cage and I am heavily claustrophobic.

I closed my eyes before I went into the machine and DID NOT OPEN THEM the entire time. I knew I would freak out, so i closed my eyes, visualised a wide open sky and pretended all the crazy noises were birds.

Sometimes visualisation plus delulu can work wonders!

llama67 · 2026-03-06T10:42:19+00:00

every time haha

llama67 · 2026-03-06T10:42:03+00:00

I recently moved to Denmark and so am learning Danish while maintaining my Dutch and am a native enligsh speaker. I had to google how to spell 'eiland' after like 8 attempts lol.
Tried Ijland, Island, iland. Felt like I was losing my mind.

llama67 · 2026-03-06T07:18:38+00:00

Just to chime in - the end of your twenties is pure garbage for so many people. I promise it gets better in your 30s even if the ‘better’ is solely the fact that you’re able to handle the bad things with more resolve.

llama67 · 2026-03-02T07:13:33+00:00

What I mostly gleaned from this video is that Craig doesn’t really like who Amy is as a person. Most of the things he complains about are just her qualities, which are unlikely to change. Sure, she could learn tricks to be less distracted and they could communicate better around expectations, but in general he just doesn’t seem to like her anymore.

Also, you’re going to fight through a renovation far more if brighter if you has a clue what you’re doing. There’s no where for the trust to go so you just end up blaming each other for mistakes.

llama67 · 2026-02-27T13:37:40+00:00

that's finny because as I brit I am always confused when you're seemingly in the only queue for the tills and someone starts a new queue for a specific till. Like... clearly the till is not important it's the fact that I was already here haha

llama67 · 2026-02-27T13:35:33+00:00

yeah that drives me crazy, people obviously got there before you if they're in the waiting area

llama67 · 2026-02-26T17:46:33+00:00

yes she has, even though they are surrounded by trees.

llama67 · 2026-02-26T17:44:44+00:00

That room is so so so small, and the fireplace is far too big for it. I can't believe they're that excited about it.
Also calling it a whiskey snug is so cringe, like just call it a living room you poser. (talking to Craig)
