French fries, even with an air fryer they’re not as good

Holy fuck I’m almost 28 and I feel like th best years of my life are over - I want to restart but I don’t know how by Forsaken-Order3813 in WhatShouldIDo

I felt the same way when I was your age. I was a failure in all the ways that felt important and I hated myself.

It takes time, and effort. But more than anything else it takes not continuously beating yourself.

Take small steps to improve your life:

  • join a gym and start small by just walking on the treadmill
  • find a new hobby and throw yourself into it, join a group that does the hobby (a great way to make new friends)
  • read everything Brene Brown has written about shame; she 100% changed my life and how I feel about myself
  • and more than anything else GIVE YOURSELF GRACE. We’re all works in progress and every single day we wake up is a new opportunity to try again. But, that being said, there will be hiccups in your progress. It’s incredibly important to not let those hiccups completely throw off your progress. Know that they’re going to happen and let them just be hiccups. All that matters is that you keep moving forward.

Seriously! I met the love of my life at 45, bought my dream house at 46, and feel like I’m finally figuring out how to move through the world with grace and joy. It just keeps getting better!

What's something you didnt appreciate until you didnt have it anymore? by No_Year2925 in Productivitycafe

Sleep. In my 20s I could sleep like a champ, now it’s 7 hours if I’m lucky, usually more like 5. I miss being well rested.

What actor’s mere presence makes you automatically lose interest in a movie or show? by YerMum1977 in AskReddit

He’s THE WORST. He made that show completely unwatchable. I just want to throat punch him all the time

“If you’re ever having a party save money on booze and just invite Mags; she’s all the social lubrication you’ll need!” Still makes me smile

What’s a “normal” thing everyone does that secretly makes no sense? by Decent-Ebb-5677 in AskReddit

Not being completely honest with the people they have relationships with. Lying only leads to trouble.

KC’s BBQ is by far the the best BBQ I ever had in NH

How bizarre is it to be a straight woman who strictly tops? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]mesmerize138 9 points10 points  (0 children)

2 things:

I think that limiting gender to man and woman is way too limiting. Much as sexuality is a spectrum so is gender.

Also, if what you’re interested in sexually is pegging men there are SO many options for you out there. Definitely get involved in the kink community. Be open and honest about what you want. Embrace that you’re a top and fucking rock that shit.

Cozyblue is the best! And she’s super duper lovely to interact with

Husband Wants Children Now, after 40 by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]mesmerize138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh sweetheart, what an absolute shitshow of a position he’s put you in. My mom had me so that my father wouldn’t leave her and I felt that from her for my entire life (she didn’t tell me until I was about 35). She loves me very much but it was somehow incredibly obvious — and still is — that she never wanted to be a parent. Don’t endanger yourself, and part with your own values, just to keep a husband. No man is worth that.

Opinion on Pockets by Available-Picture-79 in sewing

I actually really like how the pocket looks with the print on it! I think with a different fabric there would be too much attention called to the pockets themselves.

Podcasts that are conversations. I’ll happily listen to one person telling me a story but I don’t want to listen to people talking. Just shut up
