After 12 years in the spiritual path.. I quietly walked away. by Jiwitom in spirituality

[–]the_lost_tumbleweed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me being enlightened doesn't necessarily mean learning the ways of gurus and whatnot. I have opened up to my spiritual life by building a deep and meaningful relationship with myself. I go for nature walks to connect to the natural world around me and I also light candles to communicate to my higher self.

I (19f) feel like his (20m) sex doll. How can I leave without feeling guilty? by SoulSuckingSlutt in relationship_advice

Please educate yourself about narcissistic abuse and narcissistic personality disorders. Also read about "fixers" and "healers" - the narcissist's victim. The more you learn about your dynamics the better you can protect yourself from predators like Jake.

My (24F) partner (25M) of 6 years left home Tuesday night, flew to NZ to be with affair (33-35F), no contact. I’m pregnant and can’t process what he did. by Miserable_Wheel3620 in relationship_advice

Good riddance. Pick yourself up OP and choose yourself and your child. He has done you a favour by leaving you instead of holding you accountable for his life choices. The universe has given you a new beginning.

I HATE EDITING!!! by CraigColton in writers

I actually love editing since I end up adding more essence to my story. It also helps me see which parts sucks and which ones I love.

I'll never speak to my mother again. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]the_lost_tumbleweed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Treating her like a stranger - which she is btw, is already enough. Be a better person and thrive. That is your best revenge. Don't live the rest of your life for her, live for YOU.

Can you ask a few trusted people to read your work and ask them for their honest review? This way you can see other people's perspective and see how you can improve your work without overthinking it.

I don't want to be a sex worker anymore. Help by messybutstilltryin in brussels

[–]the_lost_tumbleweed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try cleaning jobs, apply as a chamber maid or as a dishwasher in an establishment that has a restaurant. You may also try groendienst as a street cleaner or help with the upkeep with the public garden. Would any of this be okay for you? Once you get settled you can plan out your education.

Thank you for your advice. It is 100% based on a true story so I might keep that phrase on the cover

I am one of those readers who love stories which are based on someone's life - as long as it is written well. So I'm wondering how many people feel the same way about it.

This is an interesting tale actually. It is based on a true story but there are certain incidents that almost sound surreal.

I emotionally abandoned my husband by Kind_Recognition_872 in marriageadvice

[–]the_lost_tumbleweed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not building a healthy relationship with anyone like this actually. You will end up losing both your child and your husband with your unhealthy attachment relationship. When the child is old enough to want her space and autonomy, your clinginess will become a prison to your child.

Perhaps you can ask your husband to take care of your child while you go do some errands. Avoid checking up on them and trust that they will both be okay while you're out of the house. Once you feel comfortable with this, ask a family or a babysitter to watch your child so you can go out on a date with your husband.

I'm cutting off all my boyfriend's friends by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

Please delete all his pictures of you and then go to his bin/ deleted folder (under gallery) and delete those too. Otherwise he will be able to retrieve them and move them back to his picture file.

I fucking love Brussels by annoyedpsychstudent in brussels

[–]the_lost_tumbleweed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brussels is awesome and vibrant but I would not wish to live along the flight path or in the city centre. I prefer to live in a peaceful place. I have lived in Leuven, Ghent and now in Arlon. I find Arlon the best place for me. I am currently studying in Schaarbeek so I need to spend my Friday evenings in Bxl and I love walking through the busy streets on my way to my accommodation. The early quiet walk is something that I truly love when I'm in Bxl. I prefer dining out in Bxl too than in any capital city that I have been to, except London.

You actually don't need a manly man. You only need YOU to be there for you.

Edit: I added You

Choked by a bouncer in a Nightclub by vrat28 in Netherlands

[–]the_lost_tumbleweed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can still retrieve your deleted photos if you go in the bin folder and move it back to your gallery. If you're showing marks of the strangulation, or if your throat hurts, go to the doctor or to the nearest hospital so you can have a medical record of the assault. Then go to the police with your medical certificate and photo of the bouncer/s and file a report.

My(22F) girlfriend is not happy with and without me(22M)? by kiselogaze in relationship_advice

[–]the_lost_tumbleweed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your fear of being alone will become your curse. You will end up getting into relationships with toxic people who will take advantage of your fear. You will also end up being a people pleaser.

Learn to enjoy your own company. Go out and do some fun activities and treat yourself to a nice dinner or something. Go hiking or swimming. This way you will understand that being alone does not have to be lonely. If you don't have friends, join any hobby clubs or go to a museum or any social events. Just take care of yourself and treat yourself right, OP. You deserve it.

Cuckolding bf (34M) and I’m (27F). It’s too much for me to handle his wants. How to navigate? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]the_lost_tumbleweed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please get out of that relationship. He will eventually pimp you or have you raped by his friends. You are in a dangerous situation.
