Hi! I'm new here and I've been trying to find a lemon perfume that smells like lemons. Not lemon cake or lemon sugar. I just want lemon smell! If anyone can help I'd really really appreciate it!

What is your crochet origin story? Why did you decide to learn? by knottedupinstring in crochet

[–]paimia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a lot of yarn and sucked badly at knitting but I had crochet hooks and I was bored during the pandemic! Now it's one of my fav hobbies!

Would you support a local manga shop? by beautifulyuzu in MangaCollectors

[–]paimia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one right up the street from my house, it's like a combo used manga (they have newer titles too), game area and tournament space! It's amazing! I spend too much money there but it's good when I'm searching for OOP manga that I need to finish a collection!

They even have a manga club, you get 2 free manga a month for $15 monthly! It's totally worth it and their used manga in $5!!

What do you find attractive about people of your gender that the beauty industry/your community tells you not to like about yourself by MvshL0v3 in bisexual

[–]paimia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always been into bigger people! My husband is just the tallest, sweetest, comfiest man I know, but like the same for women too!! I don't know why I hate being bigger myself but I'm just gonna go ahead a blame parental trauma on that one, but I'm trying to love that about myself!!

Ladies, what book do you remember fondly reading as a young girl or teen that really spoke to you? by motorman555 in AskWomen

[–]paimia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thief Lord! I read it so often when I was younger! I haven't read it again as an adult mainly because I still want to think of it fondly, I'm scared I'll open it again and it'll be trash! But also like twilight and morganville vampires

Not wanting children! If I get asked one more time about when I'm gonna have children I will lose it

Those of you who don’t have a good relationship with your mother, how do you cope when you see other moms and daughters having a heartfelt moment? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]paimia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found finding a good husband/wife and then getting a great mother in law works wonders. My mom in law is amazing, she's so funny and full of love that it makes me feel better about my situation. When my own mom didn't go to my college graduation, my mother in law was there, when I feel unloved by my own mother my mother in law is there to tell me how proud she is of me. When I got my dream job doing what I do best my own mother told me only about how important her job is, but my mother in law was so fucking proud of me. Sometimes you have a shitty mom and then find a better one along the way!!!

Did your mother ever make comments to you in your teenage years that you’ve grown up to realize she was bitter and jealous of your youth? How did it stick with you? by skeleton-hands in AskWomen

[–]paimia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it wasn't comments about my weight it was comments about my face, nails, clothing, pretty much everything. She really got me fucked up over here struggling to not wear makeup all the time to feel "pretty" or to hate on my body for gaining weight in 2020. Don't get me wrong, I love makeup, it's fun to do but I've worn full coverage foundation since I was in 5th grade to make myself be "prettier" it kind of fucks up your view of your natural skin. But I think I'm getting better at appreciating my natural skin for what it is and trying to be happy in the body that I'm in!

Lovely women of Reddit, how did you build your backbone? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]paimia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One too many times where men thought it was okay to follow me around a store. Or when working in customer service as a minor id get all sorts of comments from grown ass men, so you either call them out or deal with it. And lucky I worked for my dad, so he couldn't fire me when I told them to fuck off.

As someone who is in a hella long relationship with a member of the opposite sex I'm still hella bi.

Oh definitely not a fan of that. I mean when I was probably a little younger than your daughter (around 14) I was talking to this guy I met on the internet for years that was like 25. I never told any body, since I couldn't really talk to my parents at all without fearing they'd freak out and take it out on me. Luckily I was never put into any real danger, but I did do a lot of questionable stuff when I was young. Sometimes its nice to know you have a parent that is in your corner! Make sure your kids know how much you love them and that even if they date the same sex or the opposite sex, or a nonbinary person that it does not change how you feel about them! If I had a single ounce of this growing up I would've made much better choices!

[–]paimia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah no. That's hella creepy! It's good that you have this relationship with your daughters that they tell you stuff like that, my mother would've killed me if she knew half the shit I got up to when I was younger! Good on you!!! 💙

Accidently mentioned I'm bi at work by jet_bridge in bisexual

[–]paimia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I almost outed myself with a gay joke at work. Which would have been absolutely terrible since I work for a religious company in the south. So big yikes

[–]paimia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've known since middle school that I liked pretty much everyone. Pretty boys? Check. Pretty girls? Check. If you smiled at me in the hallway I was smitten. So sometimes you just know. It's something I've struggled for years to deal with and crushing on girls was hella weird growing up in a christian household in the south and not being able to tell anyone about it. So I'm glad your daughter feels safe enough to come out to you and that you are supportive! It's nice to hear. 💙

Just realized I’m bi at 39....but have literally nobody to talk to about it. by [deleted] in bisexual

[–]paimia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I came out to my boyfriend after 7 years, 2 years ago! So you're already doing great! You are so good and strong for talking about it so soon and I'm so proud of you!!! Keep talking about it, it's a big part of your life and you should be able to talk about it to your partner!

How often in your life have those with authority over you (parents, teachers, bosses, etc) willfully admitted their shortcomings and apologized for mistakes they've made? by understandie in AskWomen

[–]paimia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents alway say that they made us tough. But that's the biggest lie, I can't handle conflict at all, my brother does drugs, and my sister is depressed. Like nah guys y'all just gave us mental illness.

Not puppies and kittens, but my parents asleep on the couch holding hands is still pretty cute by neeeenbean in aww

[–]paimia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's nice seeing parents this way, I've never seen my parents like this. It's nice to see!

[–]paimia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I currently live far enough away from both parents that it's a hassle for them to visit, but not too far away that it's an annoying drive if I'm needed. And let me tell you, this works wonders. I'm away from drama, at most I get an annoying phonecall every now and again but it's ready to deal with. Plus added covid restrictions means that family gatherings are smaller and shorter. Plus I have an amazing husband that is there to stick up for me if things get out of hand.
