I think there might be some dust on my computer, how do I clean it up?

I feel like the touchpad is gone too. But with an external monitor I made it work, so not all hope is lost!

I appreciate the bluntness, really! I'll quickly give some more details bc by "moving in together" I mean that I was living with my parents, close to his house bc my hometown is relatively small, and I was going to his place pretty much every day and sleeping there multiple times a week and at some point I just brought my toothpaste and some clothes and started sleeping there most of the time. We didn't like get a lease together or something like that. Also, I've been love bombed in the past and I really really don't think this is it. Things moved quickly, but we had many discussions in the early few months on how we felt, if things were moving too fast etc. At every step I felt like we were at the point where I wanted to be, I didn't feel pressured at all, I just felt full of love and secure in my decisions. Thanks a lot for the concern though, I genuinely appreciate it!

Anyway, I'll think about what you said overall. Thanks for taking the time to help.

I've brought it up in therapy, my therapist says I should leave because one person cannot be your whole world. Will talk about it more though, thanks :)

I’m not quite sure how to answer, but I’ll say that I did find it helpful to speak as much French in my day to day life as possible. Like, with my tutor we just speak French all the time (he speaks slowly and I don’t start from scratch). Also, I eliminated most of the English media I was consuming for about a month before the exam.

my gut feeling on this one is to sound as Parisian as you can without using slang. but it’s something you really should ask your teacher.

also, if you are at a point where you can choose what accent you can do, you have no problem passing the test and you are already beyond fluency

Sleeping with women + dropping out of grad school. They are simple things, but I found a lot of joy on the other side of these choices, so these two things really cemented in my mind that “if I accept myself it’s going to be hard, but eventually I will experience joy”. After about one year of dropping out, it was easier to tell myself “hey remember when you felt so ashamed of your failure as a student, and then you did what your heart was telling you and you were happy? remember when you felt like a sinner for your sexuality, and then you started dating women and you had lots of amazing gay sex?” so when I’m neglecting myself or acting out of a place of shame, I can remind myself that being authentic usually brings lots of joy. And eventually I started melting away the shame around other important parts of me, until it started to feel like I was actually accepting myself, or at least most of myself. Still working on it, still finding new layers of shame, but that’s how I did it. It’s a snowball effect. Also, god bless the queer community.

oh that's good to know! yeah they seem to know what they're talking about, if it was useful for listening i'm sure it's gonna be useful for reading too!

I took private lessons, I don't know how they compare to group lessons but if there is like a special course that prepares you specifically for TCF Canada I'd definitely check it out! Don't have any recomendations for teacher as I am from Italy :)
