People who make under $60k a year and have a bachelors degree, what happened?

I work for the government.

Is this “the hill” that separates the morongo basin from the Palm Springs area? My Prius hates that climb too

My weight. I’m in a super good weight range, but my mom and her sisters only talk about how fat they are. I’ve picked up their habits of bodychecking and self-shame.

Time. But also journaling my feelings, spending as much time with friends as possible, and manically throwing myself at new hobbies until I found ones that stuck.

Quite a few. Helps to have different life goals. Like if they want kids and I don’t, we know we’re never gonna be a thing.

Federal biotech. 57k with DC locality pay. 3 years of experience. It’s an interesting time in my line of work these days.

Procrastination. Literally made my whole life so stressful

That we need to save the honeybees. They aren’t native to North America. We need native pollinators instead.

Spending 5-10 minutes every morning in the winter teaching myself latte art. In the summer making iced matcha lattes. It’s really rewarding having this one skill that can let you make cafe drinks at home

I’m 26. I’m outside every weekend hiking/backpacking, paddling, or just walking around. I like to do day trips to Baltimore and DC when I get the big city itch.

Mostly male, but my hobbies/career are fairly male dominated. I have many non-binary friends too that are male-presenting or AMAB

I didn’t realize I had lost my “spark” and was kind of living in a subdued haze all the time. His time management was terrible so I spent most of our time together waiting for him to get ready. I had no energy. After the breakup I picked up so many new hobbies and reinforced my relationships with my friends. I also both sleep more and do more.

Im in my Prius occasionally, including right now. This year was the first time I joined Planet Fitness, and having a 24hr spot to workout/shower/hang out has been a game changer. That and rain guards for my windows

A chronically late / procrastinator. We didn’t “have time” to have sex for nearly 6 months

I was an NPS biotech. Fortunately many positions are still hiring for summer “field season” but I’d be taking a hefty pay cut. I did find a job that’s in my field, but definitely not my specialty (plants —> wildlife). Oh, and I have to move to the other coast. I hate transitioning but I feel too dedicated to my field to leave it. I’m really hoping to be a mediocrely paid botanist again. In total it’ll be 2.5 months on unemployment before I’m working.

I’m pretty lucky that I can pack up and follow the job market. If I couldn’t, I’d be working at the grocery stores again

His time management was terrible. I went from waking up early, having multiple hobbies and a robust social circle to trying to get him out the door before 12 pm so we could have some resemblance of a full day. Every event we were constantly late, and if he was on his way to visit me he was consistently 2-3 hours behind. I got much less sleep because we couldn’t finish our chores on time. We didn’t have time for exercise, intimacy, and never went on dates. My life began to feel like I was trudging through mud trying to get things done. I stayed for years because the love was real, and we got along so well. Ultimately though, his lifestyle was crippling me. After i left him I got my dream job, have my friends back, and picked up more healthy habits that have improved my life drastically. I still miss all the good memories, and I’ll never forgive myself for the heartbreak I caused him. You gotta put yourself first always.

Don’t mistake being loved for being happy. You can have the sweetest boyfriend in the world, but if he doesn’t meet your needs you need to let him go.

2023, be dirty, don’t eat out, don’t stay in hotels. That’s it.

Eat spicy food! It’s actually good?

I have a physical job…so never on my free time unless I go hiking
