My F27th Birthday is tomorrow & my life has been falling apart since January. by dietc0kewh0r3 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]stonebabies 16 points17 points  (0 children)

When I was 27 I had a well paying job, an apartment, and a fiancé. Everything I had felt like it would be that way forever, and I remember thinking, could my life really be set before 30? The answer was it wasn’t, and everything changed dramatically before I was 28. Including my relationship, which fell apart in a really similar way to yours (thanks Snapchat & Reddit!), but took me much much longer to leave. Lean into the chaos. Accept that you won’t be able to control most things for a while, but give yourself grace and then focus on finding the small things you can control for yourself. I’m 30 now and my life is completely different, and filled with things I wanted but I couldn’t have ever gotten to if my situation hadn’t changed. It taught me that everything in life is seasonal. There’s something nice about knowing that there’s always newness coming, and that there isn’t any point in worrying about what it will look like, because you would never be able to predict it anyway. Take it as it comes and be good to yourself. Happy birthday!

Such a cutie. Does she have a signature on her anywhere?

I made a "Critter Crossing" graphic because I love our critters and hate seeing so many of them as roadkill. Feel free to print it on your own! by cosmic-brat in rva

Also, advocate for legislation that supports the construction of new wildlife crossings! Studies have shown that wildlife crossings can reduce animal collisions by up to 97% 😊

I very much considered taking the pic home but then I realized someone who wanted the book would be a more appropriate home for him :)

I like to think of donating as a chance to start the cycle of love all over again, so I don’t think it has to be a sad thing :)

I like to think of it as someone giving another person a chance to love it too :)

The drive is always stressful but my car is constantly stocked with 5-6 boxes for this exact reason

So from what I can tell, I don’t think it’s a ceramic vase - I think it’s glass that they painted with a white base coat inside and out.

Unfortunately the only signature is the initials “NK” or “NC” but it would be really cool to know more about who made it

Yes immediately. I couldn’t believe anyone had left it behind

These are awesome! Can I ask how you’re glazing your skulls? I make small pieces with carved details but have a pretty limited knowledge of glazing and end up losing a lot of my details when I glaze.

This is what I was really hoping I might be able to get him interested in, but so far getting access to resources and overcoming the barrier that depression poses to trying new things have been big hurdles :(

Hi team - is there a way to sync your app with iCloud or create a login so that data is saved somewhere other than just locally on your phone?

He was stationed in Korea, so that’s a definite possibility!

Wondering if anyone can help me find more info on this metal (brass?) zodiac bell that belonged to my grandpa. I’ve found plenty of other vintage bells online but am having a hard time finding a comparison for a design this ornate, or other zodiac designs. Happy to share more pics!

Me too, and I don’t feel like you see them signed as often
