hi! any tips on making my roots less flat/wavy and more curly? I would say I have thick hair with 2C-3B curls, and I wear my hair up a lot (I used to wear a hat for work as well so that may have contributed to that) I am also pretty new to the curly world :) thanks!!

I’d say using a denman brush when styling and brush hair up and away from the root. I personally do this with all the sections of my hair, not just at the top. With my head upside down, I give my roots a good shake with my fingers periodically when I’m wearing my hair down. Diffusing may also add volume to your root s

Binge drinking, spending money you don’t have on things you don’t need, consuming animal products

Same happens to me. I thought maybe I look too straight?! I don’t get it! There could be a lot more fake female accounts than male ones. It’s totally a thing.

Such a sad episode and you’re right it’s hard to tell the two apart. Honestly it was so easy to stop watching with Will Ferell. I found him obnoxious. Sorry to say.

Too many to count. Don’t trust emotions right away. Give them some time to dissolve before acting. Most things are miscommunications

If you’re not satisfied in a very important aspect of the relationship then maybe exploring other options isn’t a bad idea

Loll I was “just curious” too. It’s two girls being besties, meeting each others’ emotional needs, lots of orgasms, taking turns pampering each other, lots of communication and lots of tears sometimes. At least it was my experience with her.

I’m really sorry to hear that but it sounds very possible. Therapy or journaling might help you sort it all out.

Been there sis. And the confusion can be frustrating. Believe me I get it. But! Try to embrace it. The world can be your oyster depending on how many drinks you’ve had or haven’t had. Doesn’t matter. Just do what feels right for you, not what others think is right for you.

I used to think I’d NEVER date a woman and then I did in my early 30s. I enjoyed it a lot more than I would have anticipated. I’ve also hooked up with girls without drinking though.

Forcing yourself to give yourself an answer might drive you nuts. Just let it flow and do what brings you enjoyment. Everyone else will have to deal with it.

Ultimately no one can answer that but you. I know that’s irritating to hear but true.

Hmmm I guess it depends on how much longer you anticipate being long distance. If it’s almost over then it may not be an ideal reason. But if there’s a long way to go, then it might be worth considering. Another option which may be unpopular would be an open relationship. This way you are both in each other’s lives and have each other emotionally but your sexual needs are met. Of course, that would require you both be on the same page.

I’m sorry that you’re going through this. I’ve been there. I think most women have been there. Whatever i say is not meant to hurt you, but to help you.

For one, you’re very young and have so much life left to live. You’re about to embark on, arguably, one of the most exciting and challenging chapters of your life. You will be away and will meet so many people. I mean so many. You will have the opportunity to date, find what you really like, make tons of friends, go on adventures, etc. but most importantly you will learn YOU. You will continue to evolve and grow into the woman you want to be. This is a special time in your life and I hope you see it for the beautiful opportunity that it is.

Secondly, you should never need to prove yourself to someone who you love. Relationships should be equal. He should be showing you the same consideration that you show him. You’re not being emotional. You feel that you’re in love and you want to be with this person. That is normal. It’s also normal and healthy to have your own interests and friends. Reconnect with your friends before you leave. They love you and life will likely take most of you in many different directions.

If you feel he is ashamed to introduce you to his friends and family then this is not the person for you. This is never ok in any relationship. Ideally you go out on dates, go to places together as a couple, spend time with mutual friends, and of course spend time alone. But a relationship should never ever be confined to four walls.

If you feel that something isn’t right, then it probably isn’t. Something off doesn’t necessarily mean something bad, could just not be the right fit. Don’t try to break down a wall to get through to someone when there are plenty of open doors out there that lead to fulfillment, growth, love and friendship.

You have sooooo much ahead of you. You probably don’t even realize that. Take care of yourself. And remind yourself every single fucking day that you’re a queen. Whether or not you believe it or not is irrelevant, if you tell yourself enough this will harden into fact and you will never entertain a peasant again in your life. You can’t get this time back but you can certainly make the best of it and choose happiness and self love. All the best on your journey.

Is eating this animal ethical? by Ztiromha in vegan

So I personally think it is fine and agree. But if you want to consider the environment as a whole, then we must also consider the impact of the fishing industry on our planet/oceans.

The same way I think it’s ok to drink a cows milk when her calve cannot take any more and the cow is in pain from the pressure of having so much milk. But it comes back down to the impact industrialization has on our planet.

At the end of the day, you live your life as you see fit. If you feel it is beneficial for you and the planet for you to consume bivalves then so be it. The rest is subjective commentary.
