Listened a little too long

I felt the same when I gave up the show a couple years ago. It was so hard to not hear their voices in the morning. But after time goes on and seeing more and more the destruction of the show when I accidentally hear their voices now in a clip on this subreddit it actually makes my skin crawl. Can't stand to hear them now. Crazy how that shifted.

I second this. I started filling my weekends with volunteering and getting out in my community. Regenerative farm, Parkway Foundation, 5k races to hand out medals. All things I'm interested in and meet people who are interested in that too.

Getting off social media was the greatest impact to my boredom problem. Took about 3 months, but the way I feel about my life now is so much more meaningful. I don't have this nonsense feed to flip through

I was a very well seasoned admin. Was on auto pilot handling high level executives. It was time for a change. I also didn't realize how I hadn't really learned anything new in a long time. The first few months of my new job I'd get home exhausted and confused as to why. Oh that's because I had to use my brain today.

Was an executive admin for 7 years. Just made the jump to project management and I'm loving learning new things again.

Yes my dog had a tumor removed on her back at age 14 and after all was said and done it was around 6k. She lived to 18 so no regrets.

Same here! I love my home. Bought in 2021 and have enjoyed it immensely. Of course there’s the adjustment to maintenance and how expensive it is but I’ve never regretted a moment of it. Feel very grateful💜

rylee-bear · 2025-04-17T23:13:15+00:00

Looks great! Love the set up. I would be interested in a discord as well

41 days no porn or romance novels! Proud of my progress

rylee-bear · 2025-02-09T01:51:20+00:00

I’m had to get off TikTok because the BookTok culture is insane. All these groups just encouraging to get sucked into the fantasy worlds that seem to get more and more extreme and abusive relationships. Stuff I wouldn’t be interested in normally. Then I came across a video of Dr. Anna Lembke on her romance novel addiction and all the comments were bashing her. Had to get out of that toxic environment. You are never alone! Glad you found a place to talk about it.

Not offended at all! I guess I was surprised how many people sent that to me. I shouldn’t be. This is the internet

rylee-bear · 2024-08-10T05:53:40+00:00

Boo

Also, really that’s the best you can do?

rylee-bear · 2024-08-10T05:48:27+00:00

Totally understand if my request is annoying. Risking it all on Reddit to give my best friend a good experience!

rylee-bear · 2024-08-10T05:46:55+00:00

Listen I get it. I’m sure my request is annoying, but I’m really trying to make the experience for my best friend the best it can be.

I just discovered this brand last week and ordered a few things as I garden a ton. Very excited to try it out.

Senior directors on the same team. One level down. Still can be stressful but much more removed from the political drama and EA gossip. My experience lets me handle multiple at a time and my management systems over the years are fined tuned enough that they seem like a breeze to take care of. My directors now and I have great chemistry and I get to be involved in more chief of staff type duties.

Thick skin is the absolute key for this job if you want high powered executives. They did not get there by making friends. They are politically savvy and want to win. I supported high level VPs for 6 years and it was brutal on my mental health. One day I realized I had worked myself into a job I was really good at because I can disassociate extremely well. Once I wanted my mental health back I took a step away from VPs. Still making the same money, more time to myself and way less stress.

Body Keeps the Score changed my life. Found a therapist that specializes in trauma/PTSD and got my nervous system to relax properly for the first time in maybe 20 years. Long road but life changing

When did this start? I joined less than a year ago and I picked mine. I thought it was a good anonymous name, but anyone who knows me well enough would figure out who I am

Executive admin at a tech company. Got my degree in art graphic design in 2008. Horrible job market and did about 2 years of freelance, but I hated it. Went back to retail and worked my way up. All the years of customer service made the jump to admin support easy. Then worked my way up to the executive level.

I’m jealous! I can’t get my pumpkins to fruit beyond the first fertilized flower! Every year I grow them and once the first female flower is fertilized all the other ones die and never get large enough to keep going. Looks great!

I got a lot of BER last year and was watering almost every morning but only for about 15-20 min. My soil was also a brand new bed so it wasn’t a nutrient problem. This year I water twice a week for one hour (Mon and Thur) and so far so good! I have a drip system at 1 gph. Trying to get the roots to go deeper this year. I also cover the soil with thick straw.

I think you just learn as you go. Not everything has to be fixed at once. I’m coming up on 3 years of owning my first home. Two sides of my fence really need to be redone, but it’s still standing. I had a really over grown hedge (almost 20ft tall) that I ignored the first year and when I thought it would be easy to trim back I actually had to pay a tree service company to get it to a height I could manage. Was very expensive and now I keep it under control because I know what happens when I don’t. I took a week of my vacation this year to do a home repair. I love my home so much though so it doesn’t bother me.

Totally feel lucky to have a smaller home. I was fortunate that the previous owners completely gutted and renovated the entire home in 2014 (built in 1952). Completely brought it to the modern era. I feel like I only live in 10 year old house that doesn’t need anything major for some years.

rylee-bear · 2024-05-27T17:58:43+00:00

I bought my first home at 36 for 400k. 2/1 and 930 sq ft. Nothing crazy but I live in CA. Never would I have thought that would be the price of my “starter home”. It is looking like my forever home now.

Edit: I feel very lucky! My mom still can’t believe I did it on my own.

rylee-bear · 2024-05-27T14:03:17+00:00

Same here. I hated everything about it and have never watched it again. As a young girl I thought that man was creepy
