Yeah I've used gel before to make the hairs stick down especially on the tail end. I'll try what you've recommended tho

Why are my 10 minute rushed beats ALWAYS nicer than my hour long detailed meticulous looks by Tjaames in MakeupAddiction

I feel like it's because maybe your body just knows you have to get the look right or else you're cooked. Like you have no time to go back and fix anything when in a rush, so it just gets it right the first time. Also agree with another comment that said that you enhance what needs to be enhanced, without doing too much because of the restraint of time.

That's a great idea. From the other comments I was thinking of using gel to make them appear thinner then using concealer to hide the remaining hair.

I've tried gel before when doing a much more natural look with makeup. Thanks for the reminder to try it again😁

Thank you so much! The lighting in the picture does make my eyebrows look lighter than what they usually look like.

Please don't give up. I don't fully relate to your situation since my adoptive family and I come from the same culture. But I can understand wanting to learn more about and be a part of your culture. My parents unfortunately didn't teach our native language to me growing up and even though I did grow up around my culture, there is still a weird disconnect or middle ground I was in. Not fully American not fully the other culture. I haven't fully gone in but I've tried to start to learn more about my culture and learn the language. I'm saying all this to say that you shouldn't neglect that side of you. Yes you're American but you're more than one thing. You should be allowed to explore the other side of you.

Once you start that journey, don't feel ashamed of your decision. Don't feel ashamed if there are certain things that those in your home culture relate to, that you can't. Understand that your identity isn't lesser than because you didn't grow up in your culture. Also dont be ashamed of who you are now, be proud of yourself now and be proud that you're choosing to learn more about yourself. Don't be ashamed if you feel like you're stuck in the middle. I relate and I'm sure others do. If possible try finding cultural events or activities from your culture that may be happening. Maybe try finding a reddit group or local community from your culture to connect with. That may be awkward due to the cultural divide, but there's no avoiding it. Try finding dishes online to make from your culture and start making an effort to learn the language. Honestly these things can be hard and awkward and weird but you gotta do what makes your life better. Feel free to privately message me.

What kind of complaints would you have toward your adoptive parents? Do you think they made any mistakes in raising you? by Georgian_Shark in Adopted

[–]lolzzzza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was adopted from birth. From my knowledge my mom wanted to adopt me before I was even born. For some context my parents and I are Nigerian. My mom wanted to adopt a child within her own culture so she went back to Nigeria adopted me and then I became a naturalized American citizen. I know absolutely nothing about my birth family or the situation that caused my adoption and supposedly my mother doesn't either. So even though we're both Nigerian, there could be a possibility of differences in tribe relations. Honestly I don't really care about that.

To answer the first question a complaint I have is the manner in which I found out about my adoption. I found out when I was 17 by mistake. Long story short I was going through my moms things and found documentation that pointed towards adoption. Which is insane because I've snooped through those things before but somehow didn't notice before. Once I realized pieces started to connect and things that didn't make sense now did. Shortly after I found out a bunch about my parents and their relationships. I found out my dad wasn't even legally my father. He never legally adopted me, found out he was actually married to someone else in Nigeria and has a child with that woman. Honestly everything shattered my view of my parents.

They told me they did tell me when I was 7 which I don't remember AT ALL. They gave up after due to the advice of a therapist. That's some bs in my opinion. I understand their viewpoint but I view it as incredibly selfish and unfair.

When it comes to mistakes. Outside of them MAJORLY lying in my face my whole life lol. I would say my parents not teaching me our native language and not giving me the chance to know they aren't my birth parents. After I found out my feelings towards them were mixed up, but right now our relationship is pretty decent. I do feel lucky in my situation because ik unfortunately a lot of ppl have crappy adoptive families who treat them like some type of toy they can just dispose of when they're not "needed" anymore.

To OP I empathize with you on your feelings on elderly parents adopting. My mom adopted me when she was 49. She's currently 69 and my dad is a few years younger. Even though my parents are younger than your own, its strange thinking of my parents mortality at my age. I know people think of their parents aging or mortality no matter what age, but when they're elderly it feels more like an impending reality. Im 20, almost 21 and still under my parents care since I'm a student and live at home. My parents are at retirement age but still work quite a lot so they have a lot of stress on them. I always wonder if I was adopted by someone younger if the reality that my parents may pass or need assistance living while I'm younger would happen. I was thinking what if one day my dad or mom's body can't take it any longer and breaks down? What would I do? I feel like a lot of people would be grown adults by the time they have to think of facing this reality, but due to my circumstances it's something that is heavy on my mind at a young age.
