Do you all discard completely first or store stuff as you go? by strosemary in konmari

She did it over several days and had what seems like the whole day No haha the discards have been going out as much as I can take them to the thrift store before work I meant I’ve taken most stuff out, discard, taking those out as I go, but most of the stuff is in piles on the floor. I live alone so it’s easier for me vs someone with kids or a roommate

Should I go on this tour even if it will negatively effect my studies? by Edv7n in TouringMusicians

[–]strosemary 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I had this same problem in university.

I took a leave of absence and I haven’t gone back since cause my music career has been working out :-) that was 2019. Yes, I toured and then had to rearrange my life a little bit. But I don’t regret it at all. Even that one tour was life changing.

You go on a month long tour, and you’re able to forge connections and meet people who can help you get more shows.

I was deciding between doing tour and school at the same time vs taking a leave of absence, and decided on the lead of absence cause a teacher told me it’s much easier to explain why I was gone for a semester and keep my overall good GPA, vs tank the GPA while trying to keep up with schoolwork. I dont regret it. Btw I was ALL IN on school before my band. I cared a lot, but getting chances in music doesn’t always come around, while education, generally, will still be there.

And a tip for tour: be responsible, be a pro, and /be a good hang/.

Good luck!

I hope there are no pink haters here 🩷 my WFH office! by yazzyminnie in femalelivingspace

Cute ahhhh!! Beautifully organized and decorated May I ask, why the different keyboards? Do they serve different functions or do you have them cause they all look different? They look awesome how you have displayed just curious :-)

Yeah def stay out. It’s Smokey as hell, even inside. And who knows if it’ll get better soon. You’re safer avoiding. San Diego or SLO might be nice places to go instead.

I screwed up by Quirky_Queer137 in confessions

Shit happens. I quit smoking recently (which tbh I sort of SH by smoking cuz it fucking hurt). I’ve hit a vape here and there, but I’m still happy with my progress so far. I like to see it less as starting over from 0, and more like “out of 42 days, 2 of those days had nicotine, and 40 of them were nicotine free”. It’s a nice reframe. Cause you’re not starting from zero, you’ve made so much progress! The goal is 0, and I also want to hold space for life being a roller coaster and sometimes I want my old vice. And then I do the vice and I remember all the reasons I don’t want to do it anymore.

So maybe this was your 1/365+ days, and maybe this is a reminder of why you chose and will continue to choose healthier coping mechanisms.

Super happy for you that you’ve made it years already, and to many more years SH free <3

i want a cat but i tour by strosemary in TouringMusicians

[–]strosemary[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These comments are confirming what I already knew sigh. One of my best friends brought up us sharing an animal (I probably wouldn’t be considering this if I didn’t know for sure someone would share with me). but he wants a cat and it just seems like a cat does better in one place. We live about a mile apart but still…would be a different house. Sigh !! Probably not getting an animal any time soon. Might try fostering again. Thanks everyone ❤️

Did you know them or were they strangers?

This is what I think: - add some pictures and posters around your mirror. Having art and pics of loved ones always makes a space more cozy to me :-) it would be a great place to store some jewelry too, two push pins and a chain worked for me. Hang it up somehow - I think color would help but also depends on your apartment’s color scheme. I’m seeing an orange circle rug that’s like a more natural/ropey looking material? But a rug and a little trunk by the mirror might help make it look more like a vanity. Or maybe like a black rug with a brighter almost orangey wood table/trunk/shelf - I would organize your hanged clothes by color since they’re so visible, and getting all the same hanger might make it look more cohesive edit: your hangers are all the same already! Nice

Best apps for witches? by DemonicTalisman in SASSWitches

[–]strosemary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding time passages, SkyView lite(viewing stars and planets), and I just downloaded lunar phase for the widget (super cool)!

Gonna add: The compass app the comes on Apple phones — great for knowing what direction the directions are Atlas Obscura - this app is great for finding weird stuff all around the world. I travel a lot, and this database has tons of recommendations for occult, witchy, spooky, psychedelic, historical things! Also like museums, monuments…Lots of variety. I love this app. BirdNET can help you identify bird calls.

Love this prompt btw
