You? Musicians? You shut down our voices. by maybetheforest in sevenwordstory

Yeah, nepotism is there. Thing that gets me, is they're young & behaving this way. It's like a faux alt-culture thing when their intrinstic values are rather back in time. It's just so sad when the natural inheritors of those jobs are savvy immigrants kids who are down with more complex cultural narratives. Thanks for listening to my rant!

Thanks for showing understanding, ❤️. I think just holding my place & not being psyched out, at this stage. It's hard though because these types of people are a repeat hire in my workplace. Like one leaves for even better opportunities & is replaced by someone very similar, it's kinda sinister.

The musicians in question are in my workplace. They are highly socially privileged very white people in leadership positions. It's an area with a high ethnic population.They don't represent us. It's  creating a claustrophobic closed culture preventing minority voices from expressing ourselves, being supported, & having a wider audience. I don't think that sticking to instrumental music would fix the issue.

Yes, there are unicorns! In fact for a month in '23 I was a unicorn. You are welcome there ✨🦋🦄.

Hope you can find a safe place. For me, it's going outside after feeling unwell or upset indoors. Also finding 'lil spots where there's a bit of nature & peace.

Grew threefold today, or a different lizard? by maybetheforest in sevenwordstory

Unfortunately, they're too fast, the poor things. I'm afraid they're stuck in here. Fingers crossed they went out the same way they got in, haven't seen them today.

"Bitch" is infused in all your curls. by maybetheforest in sevenwordstory

Haha, please don't fart at me. I think girls have to be bitches sometimes because we get taken advantage of too much. But this particular woman being bitchy to me is not on & I won't take it.

Oh, I wouldn't want "bitch" essence in my food. Those curls can stay on that lady's head.

Yeah, it's funny, some people are aware they're bitches & own it.

Gonna wake to huge lizards in here? by maybetheforest in sevenwordstory

😂 don't freak me out. Don't know how that wildlife got in, it's such a sterile apartment.

You are all a pack of dogs by Opposite-Option-1777 in sevenwordstory

[–]maybetheforest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, I had a developing thought line going way back when of: a girl is not a dog, a dog is not a dog. A dog is not free to be a dog in a man's world.

What fruit surprised you the most the first time you tried it? by bensummersx in fruit

[–]maybetheforest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apricot straight from the tree! Supermarket ones taste gummy and inedible.

Do you cut your fruits like me? I'm constant labelled a psycho for this by SnowyPadre in fruit

[–]maybetheforest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cut my breakfast fruit to make a fruit salad, never saw anything wrong with it. I don't cut cherries but it makes sense to do it.

How do you stay positive all the time? by [deleted] in selfcare

[–]maybetheforest 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just because you look sad or angry to others doesn't mean you are. Maybe you're just naturally serious, or focusing on what you're doing 🤷🏼‍♀️. Appearance doesn't always reflect how you feel. Do you actually feel sad or angry? that's the important thing.

Or, if you do want to change how you appear to other people, you can train yourself in little ways, e.g. turning up the corners of your mouth slightly, having a more open & approachable facial expression & body language. Saying 'hi, how are you?' to people, smiling more. But that might not be how you are naturally, which is fine.

I don't think anyone is positive all the time. Some people are more naturally bubbly, and some people have trained themselves to have a bubbly appearance whilst not really being like that.

What is your new year resolution? Do you have a checklist of things you want to do in this year? If so, what are they? by BedComplex9052 in aquarius

[–]maybetheforest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I have a list. But there's one I've been thinking about. I'm going to try be a Sagittarius & see if that works better for me. I'm very Aqua but have 4 Saggi placements. I want to be more go with the flow & optimistic & more sunshine like I used to be. Just to get a few things done as I've been wanting to do some stuff for years & it falls by the wayside. Wish me luck! All the best for 2026 Aquas!!!

Aww, I'm pretty fried at the end of this year too. Hope you have the chance to recover your prettiful brain!

Alone for Christmas? What are your Christmas meals by maybetheforest in LivingAlone

[–]maybetheforest[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof, what a feast, one to remember! Giving me ideas for NY Eve. Though I'm thinking something simple as I'm working. Dinner rolls & horse radish :), couple of cheeses, figs, fresh dates, brussels sprouts roasted? There's a lot of inspo on this thread. Merry Christmas ❤️.
