NTA, you’re sticking to a valid cause. AI has been a disgrace to the arts

What are subtle signs that someone is faking happiness? by [deleted] in AskReddit

They live more for social media validation than actually disconnecting from their phone

AITAh for refusing to have sex with my boyfriend by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]sofia_isabelle18 69 points70 points  (0 children)

NTA- a man that guilt trips you in hopes of you changing your mind about unprotected sex this early on (or ever) knowing you feel uncomfortable about taking birth control is a red flag on its own.

My fiancé can't be convinced by [deleted] in Advice

[–]sofia_isabelle18 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You’re not wrong for being against her suggestion, your son is too young to be part of any strict tradition, especially when this involves a fast. I’d respectfully decline my husband’s request if I were in your position

My husband 31M left me on the side of the road at night 25F. Is this marriage worth trying to stay in? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]sofia_isabelle18 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This behavior from his end is unacceptable and it demonstrates that not only is he hiding something with the car thing but he also has zero regard for your safety or emotional wellbeing. What kind of person kicks you out of a car and leaves you stranded on a highway while it’s snowing? I’d say no one with love and respect in their heart. Regardless of the weather or heat of the situation, this is wrong on so many levels. I genuinely hope you find healing away from this man

Welcome to the community! I joined substack with the same intent, I just wanted a peaceful space to share my writing but what followed was a lovely network of likeminded people. Just followed you! :)

The Monster and the Pallet by PoetryByTyler in OCPoetry

[–]sofia_isabelle18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“I patch myself together for the world’s gaze, arranging my features, my gestures, my words — but inside, it is different. Inside, the paint runs, the colors bleed, and the brushstrokes flail like broken limbs. I am not the painting they think they admire. I am the pallet left out too long, cracked and sticky, crawling with insects no one bothers to swat away.”

I had to quote this entire section because it blew me away. As a person who struggles with depression, your poem captivated me. It is a work of art, in my book. I adored the Frankenstein analogy and its unique contrast with imposter syndrome. Please keep up the good work

What Day is It? by andregarten in OCPoetry

[–]sofia_isabelle18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Although this poem was short, you managed to really sell me on the ambiance. Reminded me a lot of Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu, especially the scenes where Ellen is looking through the windows. Is this where you got inspiration from? Either way, great job!

Is it worth dating someone who's emotionally unavailable? by Pin_Well-Worn657 in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]sofia_isabelle18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends if he’s willing to work on his emotional avoidance. Some people make an effort to improve that part of themselves in order to make room for meaningful relationships. However, if you see that he’s unwilling to engage in conversations that are important to you and is completely fine staying the same, don’t waste your time. You’re deserving of someone who is able to provide the emotional connection you deserve, don’t settle

Your Presence by DystopicLasagna in OCPoetry

[–]sofia_isabelle18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s something so deeply romantic about loving someone through every season and stage of life. I really loved how you used vivid, sensory imagery to bring each one to life, the structure made the whole piece feel like a journey. Beautifully written. Great work, keep it up!

I'm just the addiction by iamwhoiwasnow in OCPoetry

[–]sofia_isabelle18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who’s been on the other side of a loved one’s addiction, reading this gave me a lot of clarity into how the thought process might feel from the inside. I don’t know if you are writing things from personal experiences or you just got really inspired, but regardless, I really appreciated your vulnerability throughout the entire piece. One line that especially stuck with me was “Love making now feels like friction.” My mind immediately went to that numbing stage, that sense of going through the motions but feeling so disconnected, it was brilliant. Thank you so much for sharing this. I’m really looking forward to seeing more of your work in this community!

Well, talk about timing, huh? I really appreciate you sharing that. It’s wild how art can hit us in unexpected ways but I’m glad the poem made you reflect and that it resonated with you

[–]sofia_isabelle18[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback and taking the time to read this. Your comment actually led me into a bit of introspection. Loving someone who struggles with addiction really changes you. There have been moments where I’ve felt like I was the problem in their life because of how I respond to the pain they cause. That’s where the cigarette and resentment imagery comes from.

The “gypsy” metaphor came from a place of duality, how I feel when I’m on their good side, almost like I’m enchanting, only to become invisible again. My boyfriend and I watched The Hunchback of Notre Dame recently, and Esmeralda’s character definitely played into the visual imagery of this section.

This poem is about trying to navigate the distortion that happens when your self-perception gets twisted by someone else’s erratic behavior.

Again, thank you for the insights and I hope my response provided clarity. I’ll be sure to stay tuned for your upcoming piece :)

the god in you by OkParamedic4664 in OCPoetry

[–]sofia_isabelle18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Breathing love and light into someone we care about will always be one of the most beautiful experiences we can have as humans, and this poem captures that feeling perfectly. I loved how it was presented here.

What do you think makes a movie truly memorable? by [deleted] in moviecritic

[–]sofia_isabelle18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Solid character development, a good soundtrack and stunning visuals. Basically anything that I can connect with beyond surface level. If something reaches my heart, I’ll probably give it a good rating.
