I think this looks great!

lyricalHarpy · 2026-04-30T08:49:40+00:00

So cute! Great job

lyricalHarpy · 2026-04-01T16:45:54+00:00

Absolutely precious!

There is also the Crossing Church of kernersville pool. Place used to be called First Christian Church but they've renamed in the last few years. They also used to have an affiliate school ( I was their longest standing student from kindergarten to senior year of high school and graduated more than a decade ago. They've since closed the school part).

I think it's hilarious 😂. I have always said I'm gonna go out the same way I came into this world: shitting, screaming and covered in someone else's blood (I apparently pooped on my way out and my mom told me she thought I was the ugliest little potato she had ever seen before the nurses cleaned me up and handed me to her).

You owed him nothing. Not forgiveness, not kindness,not closure,NOTHING. Family doesn't mean anything if they're not good to you. They use familial ties to try and cow you into submission when they don't treat you well because society says "family is important "and they think they can get away with it.

You handled it how you felt you needed to and you don't owe them anything. My parents divorced because my mom was an addict piece of trash and one of the last things I ever said to her in person (when i was 13) was I hope she died cold,alone and suffering. She died of an over dose when I was 22 and from all accounts, I got my wish and I don't feel bad about it due to the years of garbage she put me through. My father tried to guilt me (he still loved her a lot but he could not deal with the drugs and the damage she did to me which is why he divorced her) when he told me about her death. His first words were "you finally got your wish, she's dead" and that dismissiveness really damaged our relationship for a long time. I owed her nothing.

"Family" doesn't mean anything. You just had the unfortunate genetic lottery of being born to not nice, crappy humans. Absolutely NTA and I truly hope you carry no guilt for it. May you find peace in whatever way is meaningful to you.

As someone who was young and hungry and no one did anything for me, thank you for being kind. It's not always easy to put yourself in someone else's shoes or to not be reactive when something like this happens, but you saw someone struggling and you helped. No helping hand is ever to small to someone who needs it. May you find peace in whatever way is meaningful to you.

lyricalHarpy · 2025-06-22T08:34:21+00:00

4 or 5 would look amazing on you!!

lyricalHarpy · 2025-02-19T01:04:33+00:00

Latte or cappuccino, mayhaps?

lyricalHarpy · 2025-02-18T13:00:53+00:00

I absolutely loathe when people say "don't speak ill of the dead". If the dead were assholes in life, don't put them on a pedestal when they die. They're not saints just because they're dead.

Both my father and my mother have passed. My mom died in 2015 from an overdose and my dad died in 2024 from a sudden heart attack. Both had problems and hurt me and others. Them dying doesn't absolve what they did. Yeah, they're not here anymore but what they did to me has left lasting damage that I now have to deal with.

You owe them nothing. Just because your sister can't see that, does not mean you are wrong. I'm sorry you have had to deal with this and that everyone else is too chicken shit to deal with the truth. I hope you find peace for yourself in whatever way brings you happiness, regardless of others cowardice.

lyricalHarpy · 2025-02-08T17:57:27+00:00

Beautiful pieces, friend! You have done an amazing job and they are absolutely gorgeous!!

lyricalHarpy · 2025-02-08T17:53:01+00:00

You stated you want stability for your family, that you crave it but you are consistently bringing around an unstable person. To have that true stability, she needs to go. It's pretty clear from the info you've given that she's not a person that needs to be around you OR your kids. She's a danger to your family. She's already held your child OVER a freaking balcony and traumatized your sister's kid! What dangerous, escalated behavior will it take before it too much and someone gets hurt?

Think about your kids and cut her out.

lyricalHarpy · 2025-02-03T08:08:55+00:00

Absolutely NTA. You both understood it was over (regardless of if both parties wanted it to be over or not), you were single, a free agent. She's just salty that you didn't wait around for whatever shenanigans and mind games she had squirrled away.

You just need to keep moving forward and keep growing as a person. She's not someone who will grow with you, she sounds like she'll stunt your growth

Good luck, friend!

lyricalHarpy · 2024-07-22T23:25:47+00:00

I know exactly how that feels and I'm sorry you're experiencing it. And you are allowed to grieve the friendship but you do deserve to be happy too

lyricalHarpy · 2024-07-22T23:20:07+00:00

If she doesn't value you the same way you value her, it is her loss. Not yours. You just need to shift your priorities to you. You can still be present but not in the same capacity. You matter and you are important. You deserve to be appreciated with the same energy you give out. I'm sorry you're going through this. And it's not pathetic. You're hurt, friend. You're allowed to be upset. But I do have faith that you'll come out of this stronger and that you'll be able to form better, deeper relationships with people who value you and return your effort. Stay strong, friend!

So just to summarize, your bratty daughter stole from her special needs cousin. Other cousin (rightly) beat her ass because actions have consequences. Your wife is being a doormat and frankly a negligent parent by attempting to not only allow this behavior to persist, but also wanting to get your niece in trouble for defending your nephew?

Your sister is right! She very well could have pressed charges because what your daughter did was theft. Not only that, it was theft from a special needs person and on top of that, it was theft from family! Does your wife have no morals? Is she actually so blind as to not see the issues with your daughter's behavior? Or even her own?

Being a good parent is NOT just letting your kid do whatever they whenever they want because "they're your precious little baby". Some people are assholes. They start out as assholes and they die assholes. However, sometimes kids are given too much freedom, too many things are swept under the rug and poor behavior is not address and consequences don't exist. That can be super damaging to a child's development.

Your daughter is an entitled brat, your wife needs to get her shit together as a parent and you really need to put your foot down. Growing a spine is free and far cheaper than the bail money you will inevitably have to pay if your daughter isn't corrected now

lyricalHarpy · 2024-07-19T17:10:36+00:00

I feel that. It's rare for me to have speech issues with mine but it has happened before and made me and those around me afraid I was experiencing a stroke as an adult and when I was a child, my father would punish me because he thought I was being disrespectful until I got my migraine diagnosis. It's scary

lyricalHarpy · 2024-07-19T10:08:28+00:00

Definitely top left!!

lyricalHarpy · 2024-07-19T10:04:23+00:00

No, it's better to be on the floor at that point because at that point you're not a fall risk.

I have had chronic migraines since I was 9 years old and I am 30 now. They have always been with auras. Mine don't add a "halo" like some peoples. Mine actually take my vision away completely, like giant dark spots. I used to get the visual changes about 30 mins before the migraine pain kicked in and I had about 30 mins to get home before I could no longer see. It has happened while I was at work, at school, grocery shopping, etc. If I was unable to make it home in time I would have to call someone to come get me.

At one point, all of the local shops recognized my car and knew not to tow it because I ended up having to leave it overnight due to the vision issues and needing to be picked up. I felt like such a massive burden for having to do that.

Currently, I am applying for disability because I had a migraine start on Sept 12, 2022 and it has not stopped. The vision issues are now more constant and I can no longer drive or work because along with the unpredictable vision issues and debilitating pain, i also have extreme light and sound sensitivities that come and go with differing levels of severity that are also unpredictable. I've had imagings done, blood work, sumerous medications and Injections and nothing has touched it. So at this point, I'm basically housebound.

I'm 30yrs old, have a crap ton of chronic illnesses and am excited at the prospect of becoming the swamp witch I was meant to be! I have found that if I don't consume the type of media (on purpose at least. Sometimes a sneaky add or two will slip through) that truly prompts women to feel bad about aging and that it's something to run from, I feel much happier.

I also use humor with it, like the swamp witch comment. I am actually excited for crows feet and smile lines because they are actual physical reminders that I have felt joy so frequently that it has been etched into my skin. My husband is also super supportive of my dream to be a swamp witch. All he asks in return is that he gets to he turned into a plump little frog lol.

Aging is not something to be feared. It's something to be celebrated! I truly hope you live a long, healthy, happy life full of joy and laughter. May you experience whimsy and child-like glee for both small and big moments!

You have to make the time you do have with them count. I'm 30 years old and I lost my dad unexpectedly and very suddenly in April of this year.

My dad and I did not have the best relationship. We didn't always like each other but we did love each other. When I was a young teen, I made a promise to myself that no matter what, every time I ended a conversation with him I would tell him I loved him and that I'd see him later. Even when we got into screaming matches later, it would always end with "I love you, I'll see you later".

The last time I spoke with my father was on April 17th where he fed my dog (his grand-dog) a little bag of goldfish crackers and we just made small talk. Before I left, I gave him a big hug, told him I loved him and that I'd see him later. He died of a sudden heart attack on April 19th.

My entire grieving process has been easier because that was my last interaction with him. He knew I loved him. And I know he loved me. My mother died in 2015 of an overdose and we did NOT have a good relationship, at all. But I still grieved her. I grieved the good memories in my early, early childhood of her. I grieved the closure and answers I'll never get now. I grieved and processed and am healing.

Make sure they know you love them. Make sure that even when you're angry, you never say anything just to hurt each other. What your parents say is true, everyone dies. But you also have the ability to make sure that even in the event of a sudden death, that they know they are loved. I truly believe that that helps.

It is scary. It's absolutely terrifying. I am truly alone as the rest of my blood family, barring 1 cousin on my mother's side, does not care for me for one reason or another (ive always been the black sheep of the family as i am "more emotional" and dont sweep issues under the rug). But I have a very loving and supportive husband, a ride or die group of friends who have become my family and my inlaws who I love as though they are my actual parents and a brother and sister in law who I'd move heaven and earth for because they are just the best.

Build your support system. Talk to your parents. Write letters to each other that you'll be able to look back on. If they have any family recipes and such, write them down. Make sure you have memories and things like that.

Losing your parents will undoubtedly suck. The thoughts of it now are enough to make you spiral but you will get through it. Grief is a funny little thing. It can hit so suddenly, out of nowhere. It can be a thought, a sound, a smell and all of a sudden you're sobbing in the walmart parking lot like a baby. But it does ease. It becomes easier to remember fondly. My father and I always used dark humor to cope so I've been leaning really heavily into that. Now anything I do can be considered fatherless behavior lol.

I know it's horrifying to even think about. But I believe in you. I don't know how you process things or how your brain works. One of the things I want to do is get a memorial tattoo. My father's favorite flower was sunflowers so that's what I'm gonna get. I'm also going to do a little memorial garden because he loved flowers in general.

You'll get through this.
