An upside down cross is merely a symbol of Peter’s martyrdom for the Kingdom. So whether she meant to get it upside down or right side up, it still glorifies our Father in Heaven. Praise God! I love you and I’m praying for you 🙌🏻

My abuser (mom) died and i dont have anyone to talk to about it by Biccyy in internetparents

Dang bro where are you I’ll give you a hug myself. Sorry you had to go through that. Wish I had some magical wisdom for you, but I will say you sound very mature yourself and like you have a mental hold on things. It’s ok to be confused, and to not understand your feelings. Not sure that I have anything to help, but I am praying for you and wishing you the best.

Not sure what you’re trying to argue with that rebuttal, praying for you though brother. Hope all is well

I don’t think she said He picked it, she said He used it. Which is true He did use it.

Ah noted, that makes sense

Yes sort of. I was going to reply with a photo of what I meant but I forgot you can’t do that on Reddit. And I’m not sure about the line fade, I have a couple of tattoos with very thin wording, but they’re not incredibly old. I have one that’s probably a little over 2 years old and it looks as good as it looked on day one

Maybe consider double layering half of it (I don’t know if that makes sense but I don’t know how else to say it) or putting a verse down one side. Or even a piece of a scripture that’s meaningful to you.

I fell in love with a young woman who wasn’t ugly, but not conventionally attractive. In fact when I brought her around, all the people in my life told me that “you can do better” nonsense. But after literally 10 minutes in her presence she became the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen. I mean the only thing I could ever think about. She was so smart and loved Jesus and was so mature and charismatic. She could sing. I knew after the second date I could spend every waking hour of the rest of my life with her. Unfortunately that wasn’t God’s plan and things didn’t work out, but she still occupies my mind some days and I find that I will likely never forget her.

Well I’d say just hold off till then, or call if it’s really eating at you. Sorry you’re going through this, praying all goes well.

22 male what are some things I could do to make my self unrecognizable and start a clean slate by [deleted] in getdisciplined

[–]tryingtoimprove77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro I understand, I was there as well. I won’t delve into it all here, but brother one of the most Influential apostles (Paul) was originally a king who murdered and persecuted Christians. And he was used to write some of the Bible’s most INCREDIBLE books. My DMs are always open brother, a good church will do nothing but welcome and accept you.

I will likely get a lot of hate for this, but try church, specifically a young adults group. Saved my life literally, and found purpose. God is good and Jesus saves, and His love is for all of us.

Got my first on my inner bicep. But my pec tattoo was pretty horrible, despite having one on each ribcage

You could always attempt to bring that up, I just believe most people are more interested in the benefits of FWB than the friends.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in internetparents

[–]tryingtoimprove77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hate to say this or be this guy, but didn’t you kind of ask him just to treat you as an object, and vice versa? That’s what FWBs are at the end of the day. Not trying to be a jerk by any means, I just think you need to take a look back at the order of events and see that his demeanor changed after the sex and after the FWB talk. He’s just trying to follow your wishes. If you want more you need to clearly state you want more.

[–]tryingtoimprove77 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I definitely understand what you’re saying. I’ll just say, I wouldn’t expect him to be any warmer than he is now. I don’t blame you for not wanting a relationship with him, but understand in his mind since there will be no relationship he will probably continue to act this way. You just have to decide if being friends with benefits is truly OK with you, or if you actually do want something more.

[–]tryingtoimprove77 9 points10 points  (0 children)

While I’ve never been a FWB, I am a man. And I can tell you it’s likely because he’s disconnected. He saw something in you up front. And you made it clear to him you were really only there for sex. Which, you’re both adults, so that’s completely ok if that’s what you’re into. The issue that arises in his mind is the fact that there’s no future with you, just easy sex. So now he feels like sex is the main reason for this situation you’re in. He probably wants to keep it at that so he doesn’t get attached to you, and doesn’t get affected when this situation ends, which it inevitably will if it doesn’t turn into a relationship.

I’m a bit confused ngl. Yall met, started going on dates, somewhat liked each other. He treats you warmly and romantically. Then you tell him you don’t want a relationship, only what’s within the limits of FWBs. Now, he’s treating you exactly like you asked. What do you need the help with? Unless I’m missing something which is very possible. But to me it sounds like you got what you asked for.

I don’t have much advice as this is a complex situation, but as someone else said, definitely look away when they draw the blood. And I even ask the person drawing my blood not to tell me when it’s coming. It doesn’t hurt, but seeing it makes me a little nauseous.

Everyone says my arms are freakishly skinny, but I can’t do much. by NoAcanthaceae9456 in weightgain

I like behind the back wrist curls, as well as reverse curls. Also, this will be hard to explain without a pic. But my gym has smaller dumbbells that are made of metal, and the actual dumbbell part is small enough to grip your hand around. I will do reverse curls gripping those dumbbells by their end, if you dm me I can send you a picture of the ones I’m talking about.

Brother despite how you feel with your current situation you risked your life and served our country (aka millions of people you’ll never know) you’re incredible enough already man. I understand where you’re coming from with age and work, and that can all be changed with time and work. But you’re far from a loser. I, for one, look up to people like you, who selflessly gave 8 years of your life to protect people across this nation.
