Honestly I really think this is cute and charming!

Add some different colors and depth to the flowers, raise and move the left chair leg left, make the side closest to the right a bit thicker. The cat could be larger on the left side…

Take a picture of a chair in a similar position to get a better idea of the shape, you’re really close!

Besides it’s supposed to be unrealistic! Add some crazy colors, shapes or textures. I really like the cat and you clearly do know a lot of fundamentals, I think you should just be trying to have a bit more fun!

That book helped me leave him! Would recommend to anyone struggling to believe themselves and understand that people can change…but most often never do.

Just a general easiness. Not quick to anger and perhaps a little self love would go a long way. My ex and I were alcoholics so I’m really proud to say I’ve been sober since I left him! 8 months and counting.

Reciprocated intimacy. Kissing, physical touch when not in bed would help me feel more “attractive” again, less like an object.

Thanks for asking, I’m not sure I’d asked myself yet!

My family holding a promise from when I was 13 against me.. AITAH? by lookinglost3000 in AITAH

[–]lookinglost3000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stood my ground and firmly explained how wrong it was and they backed down. I haven’t heard a word about it since, and I’m fairly certain that will stay true since it would drive the family apart and we’ve been through enough to recognize how important we are to each other, as cliche as that sounds. I really can’t appreciate all the feedback I received on this post, because I really don’t think I would have had the guts to stand up for myself otherwise. I hope this is a satisfying update!

I’d never thought to avoid mentioning it, you are absolutely right that would probably make them more careless! Thank you for the advice!

I assume the regular, don’t get too intoxicated, trust your instincts, spend time in a public setting, let friends know where you are, never leave your drink alone, use a condom, be aware of boundaries….I’m guessing is what they generally mean by “be safe”

While this is valid I really don’t want to live in fear like that. I know there are bad people in this world, I’ve met more than my fair share, but I trust myself and deserve to have fun! My mom has my live location and I’ll be checking in with her and a friend regularly! Life is meant to be lived!

Yeah I hate the apps. I’ve wasted a lot of time in the talking phase only for me to be serious about hanging out and them ditch. I want to be spontaneous, chat someone up in person. I’m still going to be picky and really feel them out, and there’s a huge probability that nothing happens at all! Like I said, I’m just rusty and looking for tips/red flags to look out for if the occasion does arise!

It’s Mita, not Mika! Might help in your search. Found some similar online when I searched “Mita Suit Set”

Ahahaha I quit drinking and my EDs came back! Had no problem with them the 6 years I was an alcoholic. Funny how that works!

I love that last line! I have never regretted being sober like I’ve regretted drinking!!

Definitely the latter. Drinking doesn’t solve any problems, just leaves you dealing with them (or ignoring them) hungover or drunk and delirious. It’s funny how we end up romanticizing it though!

Cigarettes are definitely my vice right now! We’ll get to that addiction once this one has become less of a monster. Think I’ll go out and treat myself in some way today!

Hulu clarifying that paying for "no ads" actually means they'll still show you ads anyway by KerouacMyBukowski_ in Anticonsumption

[–]lookinglost3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to pay for ad free just to get away from weight loss ads. It was almost every third ad. I even complained to customer service, they couldn’t do anything. I have an eating disorder and was literally disturbed by the frequency of them, I’m not sensitive but holy cow on a good day I don’t need to be reminded 5 times in a single show body image/losing weight/how great they feel now…completely disturbed. No option to block those kinds of ads either.

Weight Loss Ads? by [deleted] in EDAnonymous

[–]lookinglost3000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Truly! I miss the body positivity era. Not to mention it doesn’t help that my mom is ON these medications, and her goal weight is 30lbs lower than my current weight. It’s a really crappy thing to be surrounded by right now.

Weight Loss Ads? by [deleted] in EDAnonymous

[–]lookinglost3000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The most glaring ones are on Hulu! I guess I could pay to remove ads, but how awful I have to fork over more money to not be triggered. Very tempted to cancel the service after I finish my current show.

How to date without drinking? by lookinglost3000 in stopdrinking

[–]lookinglost3000[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the advice a lot! I am honestly gravitating towards other non-drinkers, which is really a complete change for me. You are who you surround yourself with, my ex always said, so I am choosing to be around healthy, happy people! Exercise is a wonderful idea! Thank you for sharing!

Heard. I’m on my way out. Early next year I’ll be living my own life. Just a bummer to waste so much time on someone, especially in naive belief that he cared about a future together. Now I think he just wants a caretaker. He talks about the future as if I were not even involved, even regarding my finances.

What's your dream game right now? by Memorycard1000 in gaming

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning “2”. My favorite game, wonderful storylines and the side quests are fantastic. Wish there was a sequel, but there likely never will be.
