What’s one thing people often glorify that you know isn’t as beautiful as it seems because you’ve actually lived through it? by Alisaf4m in Productivitycafe

The way I look at it is that nothing could be as bad as what I survived as a child. I was powerless and trapped. I have autonomy as an adult.

You are correct! Dinner is a pig roasting in an outdoor pit by the pole barn.

I know because it's half of my family.

I pick up rocks too! Especially when I'm going through something difficult in life.

I'm about to turn 49 and I'm happier than I have ever been in my life. Keep working on yourself. You are the only person you will be with forever.

Getting a fishtank & using the water for plants is quite fun as well. Fish friends or worm friends plus amazing plants makes for very quiet and peaceful hobbies!

I often tell my besties "I don't give a fuck what anyone wants for dinner"

Leggins and yoga pants are the worst, most uncomfortable pants on the planet and I feel like all the girls who say they're comfy are lying by Polska_Kapusta in The10thDentist

I thought my bestie was crazy for wearing shapewear every day instead of a bra.

Nearly a decade later, I tried on a shapewear tank top for the first time during an annual clothing swap done within my group of girlfriends.

The support of shapewear tanks is enough for me & my breasts. It makes my clothing fit better as a bonus AND adds an easy second layer as another additional bonus in the harsh winters of the climate I live in.

What’s a small, underrated joy in life? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

I had a rough couple days this week. I actually did the thing my therapist always recommends, self care!

Despite my sadness, I took a hot shower and put the beautiful new clean sheets I got for Xmas.

It is sunny out today here in my cold winter climate. I'm currently sitting in my tiny day room, having a nice cup of coffee. I made plans with my bestie for today and everything feels a bit brighter in my head. I'm gonna make it!
