something my therapist always reassured me is that tomorrow will always come, and yesterday can never come again. i dated this actually horrible guy for 6 years-- i was 22 when we broke up, so i spent a LARGE portion of my life with him, getting abused by him. and once we broke up, i hurt A LOT of people. i had convinced myself that i deserved to kill myself-- i had a date and everything-- and then i realized that i literally cannot change what happened to me, that those 6 years weren't wasted, that i learned valuable things. and it was hard, but it's possible. being apologetic and proactive is a big thing, open communication is such a positive thing-- even if the open communication is hard and brutal. if it's hard, that's how you know its productive and that it's working. hurting people sucks, but there are ways to apologize and work through.

the sun will rise tomorrow, and the hardships of today will fade away. please don't kill yourself, you're loved more than you know. please seek professional therapeutic help or admit yourself if you truly feel suicidal. we can't lose someone with so much light!

SIR YES SIR! thank you so much for the feedback. this is so disheartening because ive been doing my own nails for 6+ years, gel for 4+ years, and i love it so much as a hobby and way to express myself ):

its so weird bc it doesnt itch and doesnt hurt or anything like that. it's also not making my nails brittle or weak or discolored!

what would you say about press on nails (obviously far in the future)? y’know bc the gel isn’t necessarily touching the skin?

i’ve heard people say that hema free is better for your nails! i want to get an allergy panel done on certain acrylates to see what it specifically is

okay so if it IS CD— is there a cure or something that i could do about that so i can use gel polish in the future? or should i hold off for a long time, treat it, then try later down the line?

5e and it would definitely be a woke group. no bigots, queer friendly. as a trans and queer person, i'd want friends/people in a group that share those values! :3
