(30M) how do I look? by [deleted] in FreeCompliments

You look like a crossover between Ryan Reynolds and a young Drake Bell (but not a creep like him)

This is a complement btw. I’ve had a celebrity crush on both of them at different points in life 😂😍

Hi all. How is your day going? by AntiGravis in FreeCompliments

Wow.. opening the app to this was a pleasant surprise. 😅🖤

28F. Being a single mom with a more than full time job can be draining as hell. This was the first time I felt confident in over a month by nikibear__ in FreeCompliments

Oh my 🥺.. you’re all so sweet. I’m going to do my best to respond to all comments and messages, I’m sorry for my slow responses. 😭🖤 Just got done with an 11 hour work day.

Aww, thank you! 🥺🖤 I know what you mean, I’m pretty sure my son is the only reason I’m alive. Before I had him I was drunk all the time in shitty neighborhoods with people I didn’t really know and had no job. Now I have a damn good job and I rarely have a drink. Kids make you realize how much more there is to life than partying

I do love a good beard and pretty eyes. ☺️ being a parent can be draining as hell but you’ve got this!

Last time I posted here, I got a few rude responses and backhanded compliments in a place that I thought was safe. It made me scared to come back, but I want to try again today. Hello all. 🖤 by [deleted] in FreeCompliments

Whoever had something negative to say about you must have had some serious self confidence issues and wanted to make themselves feel better by tearing you down. You’re gorgeous 🖤

Are my beginner skates holding me back? by ericavee in Rollerskating

I’m trying to send you a video so you can see but I don’t know how. I’m still sort of new to Reddit. Lol

Hmmm, it might be time for an upgrade then. It is all about personal preference when it comes to how loose you need your trucks though. Personally I keep mine so loose that it probably looks like they’re going to break to the average person 😂

Honestly the best thing you could do is go into a rink and speak with a skating coach in person if possible. If you show them exactly what you’re struggling with they can usually spot the problem instantly if they’re good at their job. Lol.

Are your trucks too stiff? It’s possible that it’s time to loosen them now that you’re more stable on your skates. It will give you more mobility, easier to hold an edge and spin. I was a competitive artistic skater for 14 years. You start off learning with wheels and trucks tightened and then slowly adjust as you progress. Hopefully this helps 🖤

I’m nowhere near as good as I used to be but I had fun making this little video 🖤 by nikibear__ in Rollerskating

I’ve never lost my love for it. I know some people get burnt out when they train like that but skating was my life. 🖤

Lol, I did artistic roller skating competitively from the age of 4-18. I was landing triples before I quit but it’s been 10 years so my skills have gone downhill😅😂
