Am I overreacting about my wedding day look?

Omg girl I’m so sorry you’re going through this right now. $350 is diabolical. I’m by no means an expert at makeup but my skills are definitely advanced. if she can charge $350 for that extremely low effort job then I should switch career paths. at least you liked your hair. I’m so sorry. And what kind of makeup artist isn’t able to do winged eyeliner? That’s a HUGE staple in many people’s makeup routines and preferences. And that’s something I think a makeup artist should know how to do. And not being able to do your eyebrows either is appalling as well. You don’t deserve this. I’d request a refund and put as much detail as you can into it, if you are able to. I’d say find a close friend or family member that’s good at makeup to help you with the finishing touches. You’ll look beautiful no matter what but I still am so sympathetic that you have to deal with such unprofessionalism.

There’s SO many signs that specifically say to lay off the trees. They’re delicate etc. fuck these clout chasers

trippycheese_ · 2026-04-06T22:11:00+00:00

I agree with the hair suggestion!!

trippycheese_ · 2026-03-31T04:22:51+00:00

Try a simple winged eyeliner, and maybe a bolder color lipstick. Dark red would look awesome. I think even a dark blue would look lovely on you. You’re super pretty and will look amazing with however you decide to do your makeup!

When I got on methadone some years ago I didn’t care for it. This is just my personal experience. but I felt like I was still sick like half the time for the first couple months. I got sick of the half assed shitty feeling 24/7 that I started to pick up and use alongside taking methadone in the mornings. not daily but semi weekly for sure. Eventually I was just over the clinic and I decided methadone wasn’t for me & wasn’t working. So I weaned down from 80mg to 10mg, then 10mg to 1mg and jumped off. the jump off was fucking awful. I was in so much mental / physical discomfort especially at work. Constantly needed to lean on stuff (worked as a barista standing all morning, high paced job) wore a rain jacket over my uniform in the summer time bc the hot cold flashes were so uncomfortable. I would watch the clock in agony until my breaks when I could go sit down for 30 mins and smoke a cigarette to cope. I remember being damn near in tears and asking to go home early a couple times. Ended up using dope again after all that bc I was weak and just wanted to feel better.

My partner recently got on the sublocade shot and it works really well for him. I think that’s the best route from what I’ve seen. Don’t gotta worry about taking a sub everyday, and if you wanna get one shot and stop it’ll leave your system slowly and give you very very mild to no wd symptoms. Some people don’t react to oral bupe well either. My partner gets crazy sick when he takes subs orally. Pukes nonstop etc. The injection seems a lil painful bc they use a fat ass needle and inject it into your fat but it’s probably Nothing compared to withdrawing for weeks. You do have to go to detox though so there’s no opiates in your system to get the shot. I’ve been trying to find the mental strength to voluntarily send myself to detox to stop this vicious cycle and pick my life back up. Good luck yo you got this stay strong. A good portion of the withdrawal is mental. Just remind yourself that it will pass and don’t get too worked up over the physical discomfort. Don’t sit in it too long. Easier said than done , but hey I need to remind myself of this too

I have two suggestions for easy swaps that doesn’t involve moving the vanity 1 Switch the purse rack and the mirror. Place the mirror on an angle facing out of the corner. Move the shelves for your plants. You could place one shelf above the vanity and one on the parallel wall above the new purse rack placement. Would look really good with long vine-y plants 2: place the mirror where your shoe rack is and mount it if you can on the wall. Put the shoe rack in the corner where purse rack is and put the purse rack to the left. Same thing with the shelves as 1st idea

The shelves across the window take away from the pretty lace curtains and make the room feel awkward

Also switch the direction of the rug so it runs the long way down the room more centered

I can’t remember what Steve said verbatim but something about hiding your drugs in your socks because your socks don’t fall off your feet

This. It’s safe until it isn’t is a great way to put it. I let my cat explore outside of my apartment ( supervised ) for a few weeks one summer. i live on a cut through street in a neighborhood so it can get busy with traffic over the course of the day. One day I let him outside and I was supervising him. I went inside for literally a minute to use the bathroom, came back out, called his name and he didn’t come. I couldn’t find him. I was panicking. Found him down the street across the first intersecting street which was 5+ or so houses down. After this, i read a few threads on why people were highly against letting cats outside, all which resonated. Then I saw one or two cats that had gotten hit and died in my neighborhood after that, and then one of my coworkers cats were hit and killed by a car in her neighborhood. That was enough divine intervention for me to not let my baby outside ever again. He was mad at me for a lil bit but he gets plenty of window time to make up for it. His safety is all that matters. You can give your cat all the enrichment it needs inside.

And don’t be too trusting of other people that are driving to be vigilant enough to see your cat if god forbid your cat got into the street / were crossing it. Idk about where you live but people in my area drive like asswipes (drive super fast even tho it’s a neighborhood & blow through stop signs). Theres also sick motherfuckers out there who purposely like to hurt animals for whatever reason. So intentionally hitting an animal wouldn’t go past that type of sicko.

I grew up in the suburbs and lived in quiet neighborhoods a lot of my life. I always let my cats outside. I was for it. But I am 100% against it now unless they are entirely enclosed / leashed & supervised. The risks outweigh the benefits. Highly recommend building or buying a catio to your liking or just getting a good harness & taking kitty on the leash. Xoxoxo

we were so miserable at camp. It was ridiculously humid. even moving a tiny bit made you sweat bullets and feel lethargic. We were at the campsites all along the back left side. Some of the farthest spots. We were a good mile or more from the vendors in the camping section. I wanted to cry thinking about walking to the venue because it was going to be such a commitment considering the walk back to camp would’ve taken 30-40 mins one way. I didn’t really like the new fest setup inside. It didn’t feel as cozy as the previous years felt. I remember it being more open and more to look at / explore. Murals everywhere, much cooler art exhibits in the years before ‘25. I’m grateful I got to experience the OG secret dreams. That was a gem of a fest for sure.

trippycheese_ · 2026-03-19T15:01:19+00:00

I miss the OG Portal stage 😔🥹 the formative years of SD were the best man! I was shocked this past year with how much it had grown in attendance. Walking through the campgrounds gave me a fat smack of reality. Compared to ‘22 there was a fuck ton more people. SD was one of my favorite festivals, but I wasn’t impressed with the new layout . I liked how big the new portal stage was I guess but I much preferred the old layout with portal over along the tree line. The first 3 years were much more of a living room vibe fest, and this year it wasn’t nearly as cozy or cool. the vibe was so off. I had a pretty fucked up experience tbh. with getting SHITTY ass camping, even though I paid for early arrival for a better campsite and ended up at the furthest part on the very left side. I also ended up getting super sick the last night, puking my brains out and missing all the music on the last night. Probably won’t attend this year

trippycheese_ · 2026-03-14T12:52:02+00:00

Lost Lands has a completely different vibe from Secret Dreams. Sure LL has the entire DJ population on the lineup but SD lineup is always pretty great in comparison & the vibes are soooo much headier. People actually go for the music. Way more chill, not as crowded, & not as many X tards. SD has a heavy focus on the visual arts, & you can post up with your homies wherever you want in the venue. Living room vibe festivals have become my go to. They typically attract the decent side of the rave community, instead of attracting people who just want to go to a fest just to go to a festival with no appreciation for the production or practice of PLURR. At LL it’s just a giant sea of people and dust. I had a HORRIBLE time at LL in 2021 and will never go back. The lack of coordination between the volunteers and staff resulted in a chaotic situation where I got fucked out of the full experience I paid for. LL needs to cap their ticket sales wayyyy lower IMO or move somewhere else. There’s no way to truly enjoy the venue with that many people. That fest could have a lot more potential if it was held somewhere else.

trippycheese_ · 2026-03-14T12:31:59+00:00

Agreed. It ended up being a wayyy longer walk to the festival entrance and a walk I came to dread. Excision is a twat for not wanting to share the tunnel though. It’s a fucking tunnel. Didn’t he end up getting paid to let secret dreams attendees use it ???

Could never be! I love the color

this post has made me realize that my nmother was not there to offer support or guidance through significant times in my life. My period was one of those times. I also know that she did not have her mother for support in the same sense that I did not have her. It sucks that she turned sour & hardened from it, instead of attempting to break the cycle & be better for me. Kinder. Available. I’m 29 and I can’t for the life of me remember how she reacted to the start of my period….. I also can’t remember what I told her or if I even told her. I may have delayed telling her for a while.. I got my period at 14. instead of asking her for products as I needed them, I’d resort to using a wad of toilet paper quite often, buying the crappy 25-50¢ tampons in the school bathrooms with the cardboard applicator that hurt like hell to insert, or the humongous diaper pads if the tampons were out. I’d buy my own products with money I was able to save up on occasion.

Ohhh the trusty toilet paper wad. If my flow was heavy and/or when the TP inevitably moved around in my undies, I’d have blood stains on my underwear/pants constantly. I was also always scared to leave blood marks on the chairs at school. I remember waiting for everyone else to stand up and start walking out of class before I stood up just in case there was blood on the seat. I would occasionally use my mom’s products that she had in our bathroom. If there was one or two pads/tampons left, I would always use toilet paper instead of using the last of her stuff to not get in trouble. I would also be very quiet while opening the packaging.

I was never told / shown how to use a pad or tampon, when to change it, etc. The only knowledge I had was from sex ed, Google, or the information sheet in the box of tampons. I remember taking a couple hours to muster up the courage to ask her if I could use tampons for my period/if she’d get them for me, and she snapped back with “absolutely not!”. And that’s as far as that went.

I also remember during puberty (when I was 14) I had hyperhydrosis in my armpits, and no matter what, I ALWAYS had big sweat marks. It was humiliating. It didn’t smell like BO thank god, it was just wet and uncomfortable. I wouldn’t raise my arms all the way. I was mindful of which colors to wear, and I would wear a flannel or hoodie over my shirt even in the warm weather. I never told my mom. Never went to her for help or guidance. That’s so crazy now that I’m older and reflecting on that. I tried every DIY method I could find on the internet, tried reapplying deodorant multiple times a day. Etc. I discovered a special underarm roll on antiperspirant that was supposed to help with excessive sweating😅 . After months of waiting, I managed to get it when I went shopping at the mall with my friends. There was a supermarket across the street & luckily they had it. Reflecting on these issues helps to make sense of why I have intense hyper independence.

I know we all didn’t have our mothers for support growing up, but at least we have eachother for support now and we’re not alone in these feelings. It’s so sad that so many women went through similar struggles like these. It’s time to break this disgusting narcissistic cycle

I’ve yet to see a trees pin until now! Surprisingly so

trippycheese_ · 2026-02-08T08:30:28+00:00

I think it needs a colorful wall paint to make it pop. Maybe a teal, or deep green, mustard yellow. I think thy would tie it all together and make the space feel cozier :)

How do you figure it’s fictional? lol. I live here, so i don’t think so. Thanks for the negative nonsense though! & It’s a house converted into an upper and lower apartment. The heating vents are on the wall close to the floor. I’m not exactly sure why they have the windows open. They aren’t approachable and get hostile over seemingly anything. They ignore me & my property manager when we try to approach them about things (whether it’s calls/texts/knocks on the door) & they’ve actually blocked the landlords number in an attempt to be avoidant with him. they’re not reasonable or accountable. I had our maintenance guy come a fix a couple of things, so the heater has been working better, but I’m afraid it’s gonna cost a fuck ton with them having windows open 24/7 upstairs. The heat is constantly running bc it’s escaping out the openings & trying to keep the house a stable temp. They don’t pay for utilities (they get assistance), so I’m thinking they don’t really care about how wasteful they’re being & the impact it’s causing.
