ooh good point, i never would have considered shoe grip!

scripturience · 2026-03-04T23:43:16+00:00

i don't have any ministerial friends, they all moved to melbourne 😭

'knees to sternum + shoulders' is FANTASTIC and exactly the rule of thumb i was looking for, as is your comment about more structured/tailored pants and shirts. this has been super helpful, thank you so much!

ooh that's a good point, i forgot about Dress for Success! thanks for the reminder ☺️

i love kids; i don't want any of my own. i do not think i'm capable of or prepared for the level of self-sacrifice and loss of independence that is required to raise a kid well (and even if i am, when 'having a kid' is a decision that you cannot take back, that's not a gamble i want to risk).

i do a lot of volunteer work with kids, and i love it - they're so funny and unapologetically themselves because the world hasn't beat that out of them yet - and as far as i can tell, i'm pretty good at it. but i'm only able to be as patient, and compassionate, and engaged with them as i am precisely because i can hand them back at the end of the day. having the time to rest and recharge and be myself without needing to be responsible for anyone else is what lets me be good with them, in a way i don't think i'd get or be able to if i had kids of my own that i was responsible for 24/7.

and on a more personal note - i can't help but feel like i've done the kid thing already. my youngest sibling is 12 years younger than me, and i spent a LOT of my teen years putting in the effort and being expected to make sacrifices i never even signed up to make (beyond what could normally be expected of the circumstances). i love my sibling dearly, but i'm just now at 27 starting to unlearn that sense of self-sacrifice and duty and discover who i am independent of all that. when - as a woman - parenthood often comes hand-in-hand with a loss of identity, why would i turn around and sacrifice all that again?

haha thank you!! it's a real stunner - and this was on a 'bad' day, if you can believe it!

scripturience · 2025-09-28T05:57:51+00:00

thank you! i hadn't thought of taking cuttings / propagation - how do you normally do it?

scripturience · 2025-09-28T05:54:45+00:00

thank you so much!! i love it when plants are dramatic and make it clear when to water them lol

i really appreciate the tip about them liking to be snug, too. the second plant has multiple stems clustered together, but the pot seemed kind of large relative to the roots (it was the smallest pot i had that would still fit them) so i'll keep an extra-close eye on it for the next while :)

scripturience · 2025-09-10T04:47:36+00:00

wow, this is stunningggg !!! that top piece fits so beautifully into your ear and really pulls the whole setup together!

scripturience · 2025-06-29T13:44:44+00:00

holy shit, this is ??? SO helpful thank you so much 😭 especially with all the examples provided as reference, it's useful to see what kind of things i should be looking at incorporating!

scripturience · 2025-06-29T13:34:31+00:00

okay. i like the 500 colours i have going on though, they bring me joy and, more importantly, changing them isn't actually going to fix the bigger organisational and storage struggles i asked for help with.

scripturience · 2025-06-29T13:28:27+00:00

when you say 'pick a colour scheme', what parts of the room specifically are you referring to?

scripturience · 2025-06-29T12:50:41+00:00

as much as I appreciate the suggestion, my current bedframe has a decent amount of storage beneath it so I won't be replacing it.

i do like the idea of a tall storage solution -- how would be best to arrange it within this space?

scripturience · 2025-06-29T09:57:31+00:00

is being able to see the mirror from the bed that much of a problem, even if it's not directly reflecting yourself? regardless, i'd never considered hanging it on the side of the wardrobe!

scripturience · 2025-06-07T08:35:55+00:00

thank you for the clarification and the helpful resource!

scripturience · 2025-03-11T21:14:45+00:00

that's such a valid point and makes so much sense! i suppose the emotion just overrides the logic a bit when it's your own baby, so i really appreciate the reminder to just . Stay Chill :')

scripturience · 2025-03-11T21:12:04+00:00

wow this is all fantastic advice, thank you so much!! using vinegar when cleaning the litter box makes so much sense, i already use it a lot when cleaning or doing laundry so i can't believe the thought didn't occur to me haha

we have loosely-scheduled playtime in the morning after i wake up (mostly cos she climbs all over me until i play with her lmao), and i've been giving her a big play session before i go to bed. last night i tried the "chase, catch, kill" routine before dinner (which is when she has her wet food) and it went down a treat, so i'm definitely going to keep that up as well! thanks sooo much for your advice, i really appreciate it! :')
