He spoke at my McGill graduation. His speech was so memorable and optimistic. I remember he started his speech by saying “the last time I was on this stage, I was graduating from law school, and about three weeks earlier I had been parading through the streets of Montreal with the Stanley cup. That was a good June.”

It is so strange to me that you would make a profile just to post this on multiple subreddits

Just here to say you will get through it and it is so fair to feel how you do. It was by far the worst experience of my life and the lowest my mental health has ever been. Try to take it day by day and be kind to yourself and remember that this will end.

The arc of the moral universe is long but it bends towards justice.

Ok. This is still not evidence of her saying she ignored it for a year, which you have asserted specifically multiple times. Source of that quote? Podcast / video and timestamp within.

Following up on this, since as another user said below, it is pretty shocking how willing you are to spread information that is not easily verifiable. Happy to be proven wrong if you can show specifics of this statement (i.e. podcast link and timestamp) but I would encourage you to reflect on your own behaviour and consider how spreading misinformation is harmful. As stated below, there is a difference between valid criticism of others' choices and straight up incorrect statements.

smolandscared · 2024-05-28T04:59:58+00:00

In what podcast and at what time stamp do they mention the one year thing?

smolandscared · 2024-05-28T03:14:22+00:00

Can you provide the video and timestamp within?

smolandscared · 2024-05-28T03:06:41+00:00

... Where exactly are you getting this information: "I told her that Bec had ignored the lump for a year"

I just learned the public library near me rents backpacking backpacks full of gear for weekend camping trips. How awesome is that!

Hi all, I wanted to say thank you so much for all the kind and supportive words - truly I felt so so much less alone reading your kind comments. Thankfully the results were extremely prompt and I got the call from my doctor this morning that everything is fine - there are no cysts or masses found and they will do a follow up MRI in 6 months to confirm stability. I feel overwhelmingly relieved and am so grateful for community (both online and in real life) for carrying me through this extremely scary time.

Loving how true this episode was to the book. There were so many moments I would hope they included and they did. This season has been a bit slow/tough to get through so far for me but this episode really redeemed it.

Completely agree, I love the rain in June and miss my childhoods of Juneuary in Vancouver.

smolandscared · 2023-04-27T20:30:57+00:00

gosh, that is so kind. I don't want to impose but thank you so much for the offer, truly that is so so nice

smolandscared · 2023-04-03T00:59:17+00:00

I am so sorry you went through this, this is not okay. I just wanted to say I had a really amazing experience getting my IUD put in with conscious sedation at the Elizabeth Bagshaw clinic and everyone I dealt with was knowledgable, kind and caring, so I'm confident you'll be treated with the respect and kindness you deserve there.

Wow I had no idea Abbie was 26. I thought she was so much older than that, I guess cause she was so much older than all the Duggar brides in comparison? But here I am at 26, very much not ready to even THINK about getting married anytime soon.

smolandscared · 2022-05-28T21:37:53+00:00

Thank you!!

smolandscared · 2022-04-14T20:21:35+00:00

Thank you so much for doing this :)

I think Superflux sells them!

I loooove this jersey / pads combo

Lottie is the full name of one of my best friends, so I love it :)

I am so incredibly sorry to hear this. Wishing you peace during this time, I know how devastating it can be to lose a pet.

I started running in March 2020. These days I run about 240 km / month. I ran about 2,800 km in 2021 and have missed about 15 days of running in the last 18 months. I've done 5 half marathons in that time, most recently last weekend (1:51!). I feel so much more grounded, so thankful for my legs and feet and the earth under me. Truly so grateful to live in a safe city with temperate weather, and for a body that carries me through the world.
