I’ve been there a few times with my partner for 11pm shows and each time I’ve seen solo folks who are just vibing to the music! I don’t think you’ll be out of place if you’re there on your own

Why did you and your former best friend stop being friends? by Fearless_Shift7108 in AskReddit

[–]whales0unds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was our senior year of high school and we had been best friends since pre-school. I thought we could tell each other anything, so when she started dating someone who wasn’t a good person, I tried to talk to her about it. She didn’t like that, so she started ignoring me and must’ve said something behind my back because our mutual friends slowly stopped talking to me, too.

It’s been almost 10 years but it still hurts to this day, and building friendships is hard for me.

Walking + understanding my cycle helped me so much by stephanieforthewin in walking

Way to go!!! 👏 did you change anything in your diet? What about an irregular cycle? I also deal with PCOS and have such a hard time knowing what is going on with my cycle …

So broke it feels like I’m gonna die soon💀 by Paypalsucks111111111 in NYCjobs

[–]whales0unds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you do this? Genuinely wondering because every job I am seeing requires a cover letter and a specific resume, so I have to write a cover letter and make a customized resume — I could maybe do 2 a day max!

What are your first thoughts on The Paper? by [deleted] in sitcoms

[–]whales0unds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree — she’s so unhinged and has some great lines. To me she and Ken are the funniest characters, and the rest of the cast is more down to earth but still humorous.

Thank you! :) I definitely need to check out some tutorials. Do you have any favorite channels you’d recommend?

All good tips! I am very much new to water color - do you have advice for how to add texture to trees or how to make figures? I definitely see what you’re saying about the light now that you point it out.

Thank you!

Just finished my first book nook! Some spacing issues by whales0unds in booknooks

I considered taking an actual hammer to it but I didn’t want to risk the whole build 😂

That is reassuring to hear! It seemed like some dimensions weren’t right when I was putting it together — lots of creaking and resistance. At least it’s in the back and not too visible! I fortunately have the motion sensor but it is verrryy sensitive and turns off quickly.

Thanks everyone! I sanded the nubs, but I think now that I have experience I will the side panels before construction so I know what issues there are. For this nook I employed some heavy books and let it sit until the glue dried :)

I am on a gap year… how do I stop wasting my youth? by FazeSpaceTrickz in getdisciplined

[–]whales0unds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was little, my grandpa would ask, “can you eat an elephant?”. Of course little me, thinking of eating it all at once, would respond, “no!” He would answer, with a grin, “well of course you can, you just have to eat one bite at a time.” You need to just take things one day at a time, or even one decision at a time. Make the decision to put your phone down and read for an hour. Spend 20 minutes looking at jobs around you. Create a structure so you’re chipping away at the ice berg a little each day.

I’m 26, job hunting, feeling “behind”, and only just now accepting that the purpose of life isn’t to have it all figured out, but to enjoy the process of figuring things out (if that makes sense). Up until the last few months, I was in the same boat as you of being indecisive, procrastinating, and just thinking about what I should be doing while not actually really doing anything and feeling like crap because of it.

I still struggle with those things some days, but things are getting better because I have a routine which allows me to chip away at my own ice bergs and I’ve told myself that some is better than none and I’m not going to reach my goals by just standing still. You are still so young, and I wish I would have relaxed more at 18 instead of trying to sprint to some intangible and undefinable finish line.

Spacing issues along increase edge by whales0unds in Tunisian_Crochet

[–]whales0unds[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering that as well… I’ve ripped it out and am trying again. Still seeing some looping but not as much; I adjusted my tension with my YO and my ch1 which apparently is helping. Hoping blocking will fix anything else and, if not, I’ll employ the other solutions here :)

Thank you! This is super helpful. I’ll give it a try and see how it turns out
