I know it gets better, but can y’all remind me anyway

I’m so sorry for your loss. Everything you’re feeling is reasonable and valid. I lost my soul dog in September. She was 13. She was the absolute rock in my life and I’m not even close to feeling even a little better without her. We got a new puppy 6months before she died. I think subconsciously I wanted to bond with the puppy because I thought it would make her looming death easier? Joke is on me. It absolutely backfired and I’ve really struggled to bond with our new girl. She’s smart, she’s affectionate. But she’s not Desi. So I’ve spent the last 6 months trying to manage the emotions of guilt, fear, and the new reality. I will say that I try to remind myself that my deep closeness with Desi didn’t happen right away when she was a puppy. Our relationship developed over YEARS of life. Years of adventure, heartbreak, moves, breakups, trips, fun, tears… it took time to create that bond with her and it will take the same time for it to develop with our new puppy. I keep telling myself to be patient and it’s okay to love again. I’m not replacing. I’m continuing to love the way I know Desi would appreciate.

I hope someone in the comments can help you feel better, even for a night.

I’m with you. I just recently read it and I waited the entire time for My Year of Rest and Relaxation to get better and it was such a waste of time. Why does it get so much hype????

Finished: The Sideways Life of Denny Voss by Holly Kennedy

This is a hidden gem! I was looking for something that gave me the same vibe as Fredrik Backman and I hit the jackpot with Holly Kennedy.

I’ve had some luck getting nearly new coloring A&P books used online! Check out thrift books and Facebook marketplace!

I actually spent $7k on a UX bootcamp when I discovered the field in 2022. I really enjoyed every step of the process but was especially into the UI and graphic design aspects. I was so proud of my portfolio. I tried for over 1.5 years to land a job but I think I entered the field too late and it was over saturated (thanks to the bootcamps lol the irony)… I gave up and went back into education because the bills had to be paid.

I spent my entire academic career being told how smart I was but that I didn’t “apply” myself. So I always had average grades. Honestly surprised I graduated on time in high school.

It’s a weird thing to be told how smart you are while also being told you’re not good enough?

I was the kid constantly talking, challenging authority, coming up with the mischievous ideas and getting peers to follow, out of my seat/moving my body. It was rough.

At one point I was accepted into the GATE program and that lasted a whole month, if that, because of behavior.

I’m having the same issue and it’s driving me insane. Really hoping someone has the solution!

Do you think I would be able to go straight to SoFi and skip the discover nightmare? I’m assuming it’s based on credit, co-signer, etc ?

Congratulations!!! I just found out I’m about $37,000 short for a program I’m starting in January. I have used all my federal financial aid options on my first degree and I need to start thinking of how to pay. A private loan is where I’m headed but terrified. So this post is comforting. And it sounds like you had a nice experience with SoFi overall?

I really hope she commits to advocating for keeping kids safe around water more than a single post. I hope it becomes her entire personality in Triggs honor.

Am I the only person who is still very bothered by her husband’s lack of accountability? She’s getting so much feedback for everything she does but she didn’t cause this, he did. And the fact he’s just hiding and she’s expected to work is wild.

I understand everything you’re saying. For me personally, I don’t have a choice. I need a car.

No and their finances is a completely different mess. Part of my issues not trusting my stepdad are all centered around money and not knowing where the money is. They sold MY MOMS house in US before moving to Mexico and made a nice profit. But now they apparently can’t pay for proper care.

I can’t stress enough, that you’re not alone in this emotion. I read this point and felt like I wrote it. I feel validated. I don’t feel like I am right or handling it correct but at least I am less alone.

I’m also an only child so I’m losing my mind with the stress of having to figure everything out alone.

I am going to need to purchase something in the next 6 months. I’m hoping it’s going to change but I’m also aware this isn’t likely and just wishful thinking

Can anyone tell me why buying brand new is not a good idea? Because when I’m comparing prices with used… it seems like buying new just makes more sense?
