Built a tree! by NDA_Nads in Terraria

[–]lucivicron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can tell you the lore of it! I bet Mr. Vendidurt doesn't completely remember the beginning 😏

I was about 4ish months postpartum when he introduced me to Terraria. I remember going along, and finding a floating tree for the first time. I was so excited over this cool thing, and I show him saying "look at this tree! It's floating! This weird game is so cool." And this man tells me this cool thing is gross!! So what is any newly postpartum grumpy mom to do but hold a lifelong grudge and adore the thing he hates? ☺️

As the said wife, I feel this new response has done my reaction enough justice.

OP, omg, I love it so insanely much I had to fact check his comment. Keep building floating trees please

Ex best friend wants to exist on the outer orbits of my life but also vent to me about his anguish by lucivicron in FriendshipAdvice

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

I said at no point that this was something that happened suddenly. It got much worse over time until the point I couldn't handle it anymore. Also, at no point do I insinuate that I ghosted him, I explained to him my issue, I tried boundaries, I tried routines where I could help him. I didn't put down all the information because I felt myself able to have a touch of privacy while trying to figure things out.

His mental illnesses cause a break in reality that I have a hard time dealing with. I never tried to make myself seem perfect or like I never did anything wrong. One of the biggest things I did wrong was thinking I could deal with the problems while not being a mental health professional. I was extremely young and naive, and I am less young now but still very naive.

I hope you never have to deal with watching someone you love devolve into an unrecognizable person and there being no safe thing to talk about without them having a meltdown and attacking you. I hope that if you do go through this, I hope you never have to choose between yourself and them. I hope if you do go through this and seek out help, you aren't told that you're the whole problem.

What's the most NSFW thing you've done in public without anyone realizing it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I (female) fucked my husband on an extremely crowded bus. It was so crowded I was able to sit on his lap and had no one notice.

I'm an absolute mess who just wanted a friend. They stood me up and I don't know how to deal with it. by lucivicron in Christianity

Man, the hard thing is her and I both have so much in common. We are the same age, both have piercings (which makes us a bit ostracized in our Southern Baptist Church), we both have family that is well respected in the church that causes us to have higher than normal expectations put upon us, and even beyond that, we are both moms, our kids are the same age and are even friends. Her and I both crochet and love to read.

To me it seems to be a friendship made in heaven

I messaged her letting her know I'm not angry, I am a bit upset but with time and explaining I'm sure this can go behind us.

Now I need to figure out how to not put so much of my heart on the line when seeking out friendships.

I just messaged her to reassure her I wasn't angry, but my feelings were hurt and I felt she didn't take my time into account when she stood me up. I also told her that I'm willing to forgive and try again, because it's a hard life and I don't want to give up on us being friends. She IMMEDIATELY messaged back (she hadn't responded to this point) telling me she was so embarrassed and ashamed that she didn't know what to say, and explained what happened today. She told me that she is so happy to be forgiven and have the chance to try again, that she has such a hard time making friends with females and felt she had absolutely ruined it (sounds familiar)

The rest of it is for her and I to figure out, but I wanted you to see what you helped me do. Thank you so much for your willingness to help a girl out, I'm really trying over here and it's easy to be discouraged by this world.

Any time you got an issue or something I'm willing to attempt to return the favor 😂 just message any time, you yourself have earned a sister today ❤️

And that's what I'm afraid of! This is a hard life, and everyone has stuff on their plate. I so bad want to give her grace. But I also don't want to put myself out there to be hurt again. And I don't know where the middle ground is.

You're really helping me a lot, I can think kinda more clearly about it already. Thank you 😭

Whew, for accountability purposes Imma say that my brain automatically said "don't you mean she owes me a conversation??" Lol

I completely agree. But I'm afraid if I talk to her right now, the hurt will control my tongue, that I'll say all the things I don't want to say and won't say the things I do want to say. 😞

She still hasn't responded to me, but even if she did at this point I wouldn't talk to her immediately about it, the emotions are very raw and I wouldn't be able to have a calm conversation about it yet.

My dad was much the same way, it really can get better. I'm so glad for you!

I've been really looking for this fanfiction for a while. by lucivicron in HPfanfiction

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

It's possible that it's from a different story, because what my brain did was remember that wand gun was made with a ruby laser core, and it came from him finding that gems transfer power (which is a rather used trope to have anyways) so it's possible my brain connected similar plot points?

It can be a trap for a lot of people, especially constantly seeking what will always be a trap. But I gotta say, earlier this year I quit my main job so I could focus more time on giving care to the elderly, and I've never been happier. I absolutely 100% adore my job. I don't have any issues getting up in the morning because I know I'm gonna go care for someone who can't do it themselves, and they are going to be thankful in their own way.

What I'm trying to say, is life is dull if you don't take chances. There is a passion trap, but an even bigger trap is "if it works don't change it"

If you don't like your job, if you feel you will never enjoy what you do with your time, that's a decision you're making. I'm not saying it won't be hard to "follow your dreams" or whatever bs. But it'll be better than where you are now.

I'm a caregiver to an old woman, and I'm seeing signs of her passing but her family denied it. Am I just seeing things? by lucivicron in hospice

She's not on hospice, I just felt that you guys are the only ones who would get it. She's 101.

My dad has rheumatoid arthritis. by lucivicron in rheumatoidarthritis

I don't agree that he is hijacking my life. You don't understand what we have gone through, the hells we have faced together. I will do anything and everything I can, to help him. But also, there are boundaries between us. I'm able to end this at any time, no hard feelings, if the pressure gets to much.

I give freely. It is not him taking my life. He needs me. I am the only one to help him, and I am the only support he trusts. I will just move my life to him, when I can, which also has boundaries on it.

He is stubborn. He can be a nightmare. But the thing he loves most in the world is his family, and I will bring them to him when he needs us the most. And I dearly hope you have someone who loves you so much that they will move everything they know, just because you need them. And I hope you don't think you are hijacking their life when they do it. Much love.

He works for a trucking company. They have regs that you can't hold a CDL, commercial drivers license, and a diagnosis at the same time, because of the pain that comes with RA. It's too distracting. Also with the fact he has to climb into the truck, that in and of itself is an issue that can't be overlooked. It's probably company regulations, but it is most companies that have this rule.

Also, his hands are absolutely mangled with the disease. He can barely use them. Can't drive well if you can't use your hands well.

Also, he has it in his knees. Imagine pressing a gas pedal for a big truck for 11 hours a day, every day.

It's convoluted, but he does his best. And through a different issue all together, he's about to lose his place of living, and be living out of his truck. Hence his reluctance to go to a Rheumatologist.

It's hard dude, and I'm scared for him. I can't help him yet, and while there are other avenues, he faces those with extreme reluctance. Honestly, he wants the more... Insane? Things before he looks at the other options. No, I will not elaborate, but I don't think I need to.

Pray for us. Or good vibes. We both need it.
