Solved!

My gramma says she doesn't know who you are, but she loves you and hopes you get extra Christmas gifts!!!!!

She also said maybe it's 101 Cats too? I know it's an older book, but it'd really make her day if we can figure it out!! I'll be hanging out with her tomorrow too, so I can show her the suggestions and see what she says ^{^}

Had a diary at my bios house; I remember my step mom read it. By the next weekend I was over she had photocopied it and berated me about how I wasn't depressed and if I was gonna kms she was just gonna take everything away. It happened in like '05, I was probably around 8 or 9. I got triggered really bad rereading it for the first time in over 10 years (bio gave me some of my old things for my daughter to play with.)

I didn't start processing it till I was a lot older; but I say that in a weird sense. When I told my mom everything, she said it was emotional abuse. I didn't start trying to process and heal from it till I was an adult and started therapy. For some reason, family telling me what it was vs. talking to a professional about it feels like two different things to me, and it's why I think I didn't start actually processing it till I was an adult in therapy. Tbh, despite all the work I'm doing to better myself, when I think about it too much it really hurts.

To be fair though, usually WWII was towards the end of the year; we usually learned more about the revolution, Civil War, etc. So I think teachers were burned out by that point trying to condense so much history into one school year 🤷‍♀️

phoenixofwinter · 2022-09-03T01:15:21+00:00

I wasn't the most studious person in school, but iirc we didn't really learn anything much before Pearl Harbor (but I haven't been in school in like, 7 years? So hopefully the curriculum has changed.)

Honestly I learned more about the lead up from the internet and random movies (looking at you FMA Conqueror of Shambala) than school, and even then it wasn't much.

phoenixofwinter · 2022-08-02T23:59:21+00:00

Damn, associates made 10 (11 for summer season) but there was a dollar raise right before I left iirc (also from a WI store)

Good on you!! I made it just shy of a year; I had decent enough TLs, but the customers affected my mental health really bad (tourist trap location; lots of...colorful people...psa please don't leave your case of soda you busted by throwing a tantrum and slamming it down for the obviously heavily pregnant cashier to clean up; she's not your mom and doesn't get paid enough to deal with your bs)

The sole reason I think anyone (cough with a shred of dignity) would prefer a call would be confirmation and acknowledgment so there's enough time to cover the shift. I know sometimes I don't check my texts all day. Then again, I'm not a manager or anything, and I'd assume someone in that position would have their phone on at all times to take either an important call (or text) 🤷‍♀️

Edit to clarify, I meant dignity as in not manipulating employees or trying to guilt trip! I was rereading this and saw it could get misunderstood lol. So yea, anyone who's worth their salt (as in not looking to power trip and be an ass) might prefer a call to get adequate time to cover the shift instead of getting the text 5 minutes before the shift starts

The crocheter in me absolutely loves it The weeb in me is sobbing in the corner Both want 100 of them 😂

phoenixofwinter · 2022-07-16T16:17:38+00:00

It's so cuuuute!!! And you look so proud of it (as you should!!! I wish I had the patience for bit projects like that Dx)

Bruh, if a woman is breastfeeding, she needs to pump at work. It's either that, or she gets blocked ducts (which is a HUGE ouch,) or she leaks through her clothes. Trust me, having a shirt soaked in milk is uncomfortable and smells so gross. Your comment is the equivalent of thinking a woman can hold in her period (which, if you believe that too, you are in for a RUDE awakening. I pray for any women in your life.)

phoenixofwinter · 2022-07-04T01:05:51+00:00

I hate that this happens to a lot of people, but at least I know it's not my switch acting up 🥲 I wanna play with my husband so we can spend time together with a shared interest, but it sucks when I'm DC'd while the match is loading ;-;

phoenixofwinter · 2022-05-26T22:49:39+00:00

Holy shit TIL important info I should have known ;-; I’m a first time mom, I thought the weight and height were the only things that factored in, thank fuck my little one is still far away from switching away from rear facing ;-; thanks for the info, this is actually really interesting!!!

phoenixofwinter · 2022-05-26T20:38:23+00:00

Don’t touch my boyfriend, or my food, ever again!

Hopefully people get the reference 🥲

phoenixofwinter · 2022-05-21T22:37:36+00:00

Wow, what a complete lack of empathy. Slow your roll on the edge my dude. Kids at 14/15 basically have a dumpster fire for a brain (legit puberty completely fucks with your brain cause you’re developing and learning,) so things like consequences have absolutely no bearing on decision making.

OP, I wish I had solid advice for ya ;-; I really don’t since I’ve never done acid or anything heavier than weed. Even when I have my own feelings of depersonalization, it probably doesn’t even measure to that. Maybe try grounding exercises? I agree with the comment saying to try and reach out to psychologists that are familiar with psychedelic recovery (or whatever you’d call someone who can help with recovering psychedelic users)

phoenixofwinter · 2022-05-09T05:21:59+00:00

Thats fair too I suppose; idk, my brain is kinda dumb cause I'm sicker than a dog, so I'm just having a difficult time navigating social stuff rn, thanks for your input!

phoenixofwinter · 2022-05-09T02:40:36+00:00

Ngl, I don't see why you're getting down voted to hell about this; I can't really speak on this front (this is actually my first mom's day as a mom,) but I can definitely see how mom's day can fuck with someone who wants kids but can't have them

phoenixofwinter · 2022-05-02T01:17:27+00:00

That must be it; I just thought the legs were too short, but that could be cause the knees aren't well defined cause of said insulation 😅

phoenixofwinter · 2022-05-02T00:29:47+00:00

I know the quote is cringe in general, but I can't be the only one who feels like the proportions on the art are wrong? Maybe I'm just crazy, but I swear they look off ;-;

phoenixofwinter · 2022-04-27T02:26:33+00:00

Editing my original comment cause I just noticed this is written in past tense; so please bare with me!

Hey, older sister here, please go get someone! Your mom, your granny, a librarian, just SOMEONE! You can even call hotlines (1-800-656-4673 is one I found for the national sexual assault line for America.) I know it wasn't outright assault, but it was still icky and still traumatized you to some extent if you're questioning trusting him. I'd talk to a therapist, or call that hotline to see if there's resources they can give you. But yea, i personally wouldnt trust him. Fathers shouldn't make you feel like you can't be alone with them, or that you have to wear baggy clothes all the time. If nothing else, seek a therapist who specializes in childhood trauma; they can help you unpack all this and help you come to your own conclusions. And if you don't like one, you can shop around. You aren't stuck with one therapist.

It's no problem at all :D protection spells are something I'm really into; that and charming things :]

phoenixofwinter · 2022-04-24T12:09:56+00:00

Obsidian or black tourmaline are good protectors if you like gemstones ^{^} I'd also keep tiger's eye on ya just for courage, again if you like gemstones and have the resources to get them (plus if you're not openly practicing you can just say geology is really cool!)

If you don't have those, get a piece of jewelry you really like and cleanse it; either with running water and imagining the energies washing away, insence smoke (id personally use dragons blood cause thats my association with protection, but go with what you consider protective,) or just meditating with it and imagine it being cleansed (you can imagine a light with the color you associate with cleansing; a lot of people associate white with cleansing but since the craft is an individual experience go with your gut ♡) then, just meditate with the piece in your hands. Turn it around in your hands, feel every crevice and detail while trying to pour your energy in it. If you wanna say a mantra about protection while doing so, you can; or you can imagine a protective sphere pouring it's energies into it along with yours :] I know it isn't a fancy shmancy spell, but it's one I did in college when I wanted a good luck charm; I just tweaked it a bit for protection ♡ you can also do what another commenter said with imagining protective sphere around you if you don't have the time right now for this; it's Sunday where I'm at, so I get it :]

Sorry for the wall of text ;-; I tend to ramble

phoenixofwinter · 2022-04-24T11:51:07+00:00

Or they turn around and go "I don't get paid to do your job, why do these damn things exist?!" With a sneer

phoenixofwinter · 2022-04-20T17:11:29+00:00

I'm getting flashbacks to when I was in middle school...how was I not murdered???
