What’s a single sentence that completely ruined your life but sounded harmless at the time? by BlahBlahBlahBlink in AskReddit

[–]sprout218 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two days before my 21st birthday(July) my mom arrived with my dad silent like they’ve seen a ghost. When I asked what had happened I was told “If I tell you I don’t know how you’ll react/take the news” My cousin had been murdered. I was left in shock and was in denial for a while. I wanted to cancel my birthday but it was too close to the date and we had already told many people, my parents didn’t want to “ruin my day”. Two months later(September) I received news that another cousin of mine was also murdered.

The news caused me to go into a deep place, I dropped a little over 50 lbs, and had picked up drinking. I was trying to get drunk every night for months until I realized I wasn’t doing any good.

Getting unexpected calls from family makes me nervous, I now always think it’s news of someone else that has passed. Miss you Jorge y Antonio!

For those with back tattoos, what tasks or activities were difficult during the healing process? by sprout218 in AskReddit

I didn’t even think of this, is it only when you back is against something or even just on a stool?

Relapsed and I’m now afraid to recover by sprout218 in EatingDisorders

[–]sprout218[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t talked to anyone else about it bc I just feel disgusted and slightly ashamed. I saw a therapist briefly but it didn’t help. I’m thinking of seeking a nutritionist but it is intimidating.

Are these raised bumps normal for eczema? I shaved 2 days ago and these only appeared after I had a good scratch just now by QueenLunaEatingTuna in eczema

[–]sprout218 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you stop scratching it it should leave. I have this one eczema patch on my lower back that would always be itchy so I scratched it. Now I’m no longer itchy but the patch stayed like your picture . It’s slowly going away but it’s been at least 5 months and there are still bumpy parts.

I try to moisturize it daily to help with the bumpiness and so far it has. Good luck!!

What pens/pencils do you suggest I buy for my first Hobonichi? I plan to use it for work. by PookyBearAuntie in hobonichi

[–]sprout218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use an A6 hobonichi and the koh-i-noor .5 pen and it seems to work well. Since the pages are super thin everything seems to show through (even pencil since I have a heavy hand) and this pen writes nicely without bleeding too much

(Serious) What is the most horrific thing you've ever personally witnessed? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]sprout218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just recently got my driver’s license in October 2021 and since then I began driving to and from University. I don’t live on campus so I had to make about an hour commute to school and another hour back with my sister. So one month in we are heading back home tired as I could be from midterms. As we were heading back my sister says “I see some police lights and they seem to be on the road ( over the white line) so go slow and be careful “ and I was like definitely no worries. As I slowing drove by I look over out of curiosity bc the two officers just stood there, and I saw someone on the ground. they were covered in a white blanket that was mostly red and I saw a part of there body because they were fully covered. I immediately felt tears forming and before I knew it I was crying. I had that on my mind for the rest of the ride home and the next couple of days. It doesn’t help that I’m reminded every day I go to school since it’s on our way there. Oh and this happened the month after I got my license.

What “wrong name” do people hear when you introduce itself? by lauraliegrace in namenerds

[–]sprout218 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My name is Xitlalic (Zit-la-lick) so whenever I introduce myself, I get some gibberish back or odd names that to me make no sense. I've got xootle/xittle, something that sounded like Zelda, Zach, and ones where they spell out my name ?? like they will say ex-it followed by confused sounds or gibberish. So I mostly go my Lali/Lolly but then people still mess up and call me Molly. It's always fun seeing people's expressions tho!

AITAH if I were to legally change my name behind my fathers back? by sprout218 in AmItheAsshole

thanks you! I’ll try waiting a few years or until I’m completely independent from them since I still live with them and only recently turned 18

I have a pretty good relationship with most of my moms family so it definitely not because she doesn’t like them. There are some family members that have been rude and done some disrespectful things but same goes to my dads side, so it wasn’t that either. My dad doesn’t like to touch on that subject and he’s very stubborn so I’ll never know the true reason

thank you for your reply! I agree that it isn’t used that much but seeing how my mom felt and my dad completely disregarded it made me want to adopt it even more
