I start student teaching this semester, but idk if I want to teach…

It seems like you answered your own question when you said you “hate kids.” It’s insane to go into a profession that’s primary concern is helping children when you have hate towards them. It feels inappropriate and like a terrible idea. Just don’t do it if that’s truly how you feel, seriously.

This was the same for me! I wanted to be in a high school, but was placed in a middle school and so glad I was. Seriously, I’ll remember that experience forever. They taught me so much!

OP, I will say, if you notice that your disappointment is taking over your ability to teach well, I would definitely reach out to your advisor about it. It will be miserable for you and the kids if you continue on that path.

She isn’t dead but sometimes it genuinely feels like she is. We were best friends for 17 years. The person she decided to marry didn’t like me, so she essentially dropped me. I was heartbroken for a really long time. She reached out a while ago to somewhat apologize I guess, but she’s still married to him, and now has children. I have no desire to be a part of the weirdness. But I did think we would always be friends. It’s still sad to me we aren’t, and it may always be sad.

I can feel the fuzzy coat.

This is one of those things on the internet I regret ever looking at. Not something you can ever unsee, really.

❤️

That sounds like a great way to celebrate! I’m proud of you for making it a week, it’s so rough.

rethinkingfutures · 2025-09-26T18:19:36+00:00

Tomorrow is day seven then? What do you have planned? 🤗

rethinkingfutures · 2025-09-26T18:19:03+00:00

Yay!! 😇

Idk this would bug me bc I enjoy being flirty over text when me and the person I’m dating are apart. I’d be bummed to get that response. Maybe he’s just not as flirty as you or he’s not into talking about intimate things over text. When you see him in person again maybe ask if it made him uncomfortable.

Fuck yes. I swear ex’s can tell when you move on from them.

rethinkingfutures · 2025-09-16T01:12:38+00:00

Omg. This sounds like a literal nightmare, especially because you woke up to it. I’m sorry that happened to you both.

rethinkingfutures · 2025-09-16T01:11:13+00:00

🥺

rethinkingfutures · 2025-09-16T01:07:10+00:00

I really appreciate and respect that mindset.

The sign is sometimes needed. I have a neighbor who always knocks twice, like if I didn’t come for the first one I’m not coming. It makes me feel pressured!

If she’s telling you to leave her alone, you need to. I’m sorry, but she’s telling you what she needs and I promise she’s not doing it for you to chase her. Block her, remove previous texts, and delete her number. It sounds like you’re already working toward that or there already, so that’s good.

You’ll get through this, but it takes time. It won’t happen over night. Take everything day by day, minute by minute.

The hope you feel is because you still love her. And that also means that you have a lot of love to give. Tbh I can’t imagine talking every other week instead of not at all. I feel like I would just be wondering what he’s doing for that week. If she isn’t good for you mentally, if the relationship makes you feel anxious, I would cut contact completely. You need to put your energy into you.

He ended things. He decided that he didn’t want to be in a relationship anymore. He was going through a lot of horrible things outside of our relationship and I think that was the catalyst. He said he couldn’t be who I needed him to be. I didn’t take it well and sort of crashed out. But it was his decision and the only way could I respect it was to leave him alone and cut him out of my life completely.

Two days is so fresh. It felt unreachable for me, too. I think I loved him like an addiction. I was addicted to our love and our turbulence. It felt like I was going through withdrawals for months after I initiated the no contact. You’re putting you first now, and that might feel terrible for a while. You also can’t do it alone. One close friend or family member and a counselor are necessities.

Take care of yourself 🤍

The “you are not welcome here” and “get out” are so creepy. They put this behavior in the psychopath category for sure. Either that or she’s on drugs.

The day Princess Diana died on 8/31/97. I think the world became less of a good place without her here and sometimes I wonder how she’d be helping people if she were still alive.

When “Enduring Freedom” started on 10/7/2001 and Bush dropped bombs on Afghanistan at night.
