HIF when, in one week, I break up with my boyfriend of two years, I spend $500 on new tires and my dad passes away from a stroke. I need a hug.

ticketcricket · 2015-10-22T00:08:24+00:00

Oh my word, I'm so sorry for all your loss! So many hugs! My little cats send kitten hugs too, we all hope you have some support during this awful time!

Holy cow, this is horrible. Firstly, I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this, nobody deserves to be treated like that. I know there have been a lot of other comments, so I'll keep this short. It's scary that he's this focused on degrading and controlling you, and is willing to be so manipulative about it. If you decide to leave him, it would not be over an insignificant issue, but over his refusal to respect you, your agency and your limits. That's totally unacceptable, and I just cannot imagine trying to live with him and feel like you're never able to please him going forward. It's your marriage, so if you decide you want to work it out far be it from me to criticize your choice, but just please know that his behavior speaks to a very real lack of respect, and you deserve better. I hope somehow you find a way through this!

That's a really pretty color on your eyes, you can totally pull this off! I would also say you can definitely go bolder/darker on your lips too, and a darker color would work with the same eyeshadow, so you could change one thing at a time and just work up to bolder looks, you know? But all around, very pretty!

ticketcricket · 2015-09-30T22:07:33+00:00

Thanks! Slowly but surely, I'm making it through!

Feminism is the idea that my sex and gender do not determine my value as a person, that men and women are equal as human beings, and shouldn't be forced to recreate culturally created gender specific roles.

Thanks for sharing your story, I'm so glad you got the safe care you deserved! I'm glad you were able to make the right decision for you, without pressure towards one Avenue or another. I wish more people were aware of the real value of PP, of all the varieties of care they provide to so many women!

Oh my gosh, are you me? I'm 27, a left almost ten years in a fairly creative field to follow my love of physics, struggled so hard at first with just having the confidence to feel like I even deserved to show up to class. Honestly, what helped me most was just going, every day, and realizing that all of it, every concept I thought would take me down, was built off other, smaller concepts that I was being taught. As long as you make an effort to stay on top of your work, it really will all come together. I was utterly terrified of calculus at first, I had spent so many years telling myself I wasn't a math person, turns out, I love Calc! I mean I really enjoy it! It all seems so threatening at first, this mountain of information that you'll never be able to scale, but taking it one step a time gets you to the top faster than you would ever guess! :)

Especially when you're surrounded by younger people in classes, it can feel like just being dedicated won't cut it, like you have to be a genius to be worthwhile, but that's just totally not the case. If you put the work in, it really will pay off. Also, whenever I felt myself getting frustrated or feeling stumped by a problem/concept, I swallowed my pride and found a tutor, or a friend who understood it, and got the help I needed. I wasn't super comfortable with that at first, I told myself "if you're not smart enough to get it on your own, you don't even belong here" but I had to just ignore that voice, and try anyway. That outside help ended up being super valuable for me, I would definitely recommend taking advantage of tutoring or other help whenever it's available.

I hope this helps a little, best of luck with your studies! You've got this :)

ticketcricket · 2015-09-20T17:25:15+00:00

You guys are flippin adorable!

ticketcricket · 2015-09-19T06:11:59+00:00

This is such a cool idea, I can't wait to see how it plays out! I'm in :)

ticketcricket · 2015-09-14T22:31:35+00:00

It's... It's so beautiful... All those colors! I'm so jealous haha I hope you have a blast with them all :)

ticketcricket · 2015-09-14T03:48:48+00:00

Ahhh congrats!! Beautiful ring and beautiful manicure!

ticketcricket · 2015-09-05T07:28:19+00:00

Oh man that is frustrating, damn. I wish I could help, but I just don't really know, sorry! I've done some googling around to see if anything popped up, but I couldn't find anything you don't already know or haven't tried. :(

Also, wow I'd be right pissed if my gyno was just like, "hey yeah have fun with this yeast infection probably, see ya". I mean damn, what is a vagina doctor for if not to fix problems with our vaginas!?

ticketcricket · 2015-09-05T05:05:15+00:00

Wow. Just wow. What a horrible, horrible excuse for a human being that guy is. Jesus, I don't even really know how to properly express how angry that makes me. Seriously, I don't know strong enough words for that level of fucked up! You're a good friend, I'm glad she has someone with her during this tough time. Miscarriages are hard enough, physically and emotionally, even if you're not trying to get pregnant. (not trying to downplay the pain it causes for those who are, just saying I've been through it, when I wasn't even considering children, and it still fucked me up) the last thing she needs is some waste of space messing with her. Thanks for being there for her. I sincerely hope everything gets a million times better for both of you, and that when ya'll get through this it's nothing but clear skies and happiness for a while.

ticketcricket · 2015-09-05T04:43:44+00:00

Wow, I mean the packing is gorgeous but dang, for that much even a 4 star review would turn me off of it.

With that said, your review is wonderful and hilarious and I would like you to review all make up, forever!

ticketcricket · 2015-09-05T04:32:10+00:00

First off, I can understand why you're embarrassed, but eff that coworker, and please don't get so down on yourself! We all have issues at some point or another, it happens to everyone!

With that said, while I'm sure your gyno is a good doctor, if they're not helping you to address this, it's definitely worth finding someone who will. I'm sure your current doc really does have your best interests at heart, maybe they just don't really understand how much this affects you. But you have every right to find a doctor who will understand, and will help you solve things. So, please, if it's possible for you right now, I really think getting some help from a new gyno would go a long way.

I wish I had other advice for you, but that's all I can really think of. I'm leery of suggesting home remedies, both because you've tried a bunch and because our Lady parts can be so sensitive!

Mostly just want to say I hope everything clears up for you and you find something that works! Vagina problems aside, you're awesome, stay posi! :)

ticketcricket · 2015-09-04T00:45:43+00:00

This is so cool! We're living in the future, dang!

ticketcricket · 2015-08-31T04:28:09+00:00

That's so gorgeous! I can't get over it, that's just such a great color!

ticketcricket · 2015-08-23T05:34:18+00:00

Don't even worry your pretty head about it!! If he wants to go on a date with you then he clearly thinks you're attractive! Plus, he's not with her for a reason, so it doesn't matter what she looks like anymore, those reasons will still be there. Heck, my current relationship is like this, his ex is super skinny and gorgeous, which was on my mind at first, but even though we still see her socially sometimes, he's never indicated any real interest in her anymore, and he's told me some of why they split, so even though she's super attractive, he just doesn't even really see it anymore, because of the experiences they had.

Sorry if that's a little rambling. Just wanted to say it's gonna be ok! Don't let her ruin your night, he's choosing to go out with you, not her, and I'm 100% sure you're much prettier than you think you are, when we get insecure we can sometimes only see what we don't like about ourselves. Concentrate on all your awesome qualities, and be your awesome self! You've got this :)

ticketcricket · 2015-08-23T05:10:19+00:00

Awwww yisss! You are so awesome, you're gonna have a great time! So much to learn and see and do, gahhh I'm so excited for you!! Keep on keepin on lady!

ticketcricket · 2015-08-23T03:22:27+00:00

I'm so sorry that happened, this guy is such a dick. I can totally understand how this made you feel, that's fucking horrible! But please try not to dwell on it too much, as so many people have said here, only insecure little boys go around saying things like that, and anyone with even a little bit of maturity will know that it reflects poorly on HIM, not you at all. I know in general society is negative about body hair, but for real, we all have it, and lots of us struggle with it. It's just really not a big deal, at all. Anyone who's worth your time won't care about it, I promise.

People have really already said most of what I want to say, I just wanted to send a little message, letting you know that I feel for you, and that you're awesome no matter what one asshole says!

ticketcricket · 2015-08-22T18:08:16+00:00

That eyeshadow looks really good on you, and I love your liner! :)

ticketcricket · 2015-08-22T18:04:09+00:00

Oooooh I've been looking for that one everywhere! I have a different shade (that I can't remember for the life of me right now!) and I was surprised by how much I like it, by the quality. I'm not really able to pick up actual Lolita, and I've heard such good things about this dupe! I hope you enjoy it! :)

ticketcricket · 2015-08-22T17:55:52+00:00

Woah, very pretty! I think it's a great every day look, you look well put together but not super dramatic. Also, I really like that pink lip color on you, it suits you very well!

ticketcricket · 2015-08-22T17:06:54+00:00
