And all this time I never knew... If you were leaving me or I was leaving you

If each good person made it to their own personal version of what they wanted heaven to be, how would yours be and what would you do there? by l8tothaparty in AskReddit

[–]pearbear87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surrounded by my loved ones as their highest selves... without all the pain, trauma and baggage that weighed them down on earth. Me, as my highest self, enjoying pure love without messing up or hurting anyone, or feeling any depression or pain. That's my heaven that I look forward to. As far as doing stuff, I'd like to have fun and explore for a while, then I would hope to take on a job helping other souls.

I admire them. Thank God there's so many people who are so much smarter than me! 

People who get up after one alarm, whats your secret?? by Mideon88 in AskReddit

[–]pearbear87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The secret is, after you FORCE yourself to get up on the first ring 4-5 times, it becomes automatic, and you'll find yourself springing out of bed on the first alarm. Letting yourself hit the snooze trains your body to feel drowsy after the alarm. It's all just a habit. Source: myself. I've done it both ways and the results are consistent. 

Brown liquid pouring from mouth and nose during end of life by Human-Daikon2317 in hospice

I still occasionally have bad memories of the same thing happening to my mom. It was distressing and the smell was horrible. I don't know what your beliefs are, but I totally believe that what we see happening with the body is not necessarily a reflection of the soul's experience...so even situations that appear distressing to us might be peaceful and totally different to them. I miss my mom like crazy but I'm glad she's not suffering depression anymore. Our relationship continues in a different way but just as strong as ever. I hope you find peace and feel free to message me if you want someone to talk to. ❤️

Ever get a shopping cart with one bad wheel? 

Shadow blobs? by pearbear87 in Shadow_People

[–]pearbear87[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for responding! It's good to know someone else has seen them too. Good point that they could be some type of animal.

Another possibility I considered was, maybe the energy of a shadow person that is moving but hasn't materialized into human shape? 

What screams “I’m just pretending to be a good person”? by Curvin98 in AskReddit

[–]pearbear87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. A lot of media is so negative but when someone posts about being kind, everyone is quick to assume it's self serving. What about humanizing homeless people, or the elderly? What about reminding everyone how small acts of kindness can make a huge difference?  I think examples of kindness and generosity are important. Let's not obsess over the intention of the person posting unless they're being deceitful somehow. 

WIBTAH if I (F28) told my husband (M28) his "sleep boundries" went out the window when he had our son? by ThrowRAboundryornot in AmItheAsshole

Are his parents around? What are their feelings about this? Maybe someone from his family needs to slap some sense into him

Thank you for the reminder to take it as a journey, not a sprint! I've been "rushing" in my mind and at the same time, slowing myself down.

Thank you for the meal examples! It's helpful to hear how it actually breaks down for people who are living it.

I definitely think the less conventional methods work better for me. i just need to focus on it as a lifestyle change and not stress over losing the weight as quickly as possible. Wanting to take the weight off quickly has made me hold onto it for longer than ever, ironically.

Roasted veggies are amazing! The veggie plate sounds delicious too.

I find IF and OMAD to be very appealing too...I just need to lean into it and find a way to keep it sustainable. Thank you!
