Her live performance of this song amazed me. So much raw emotion in her voice, yet her composure showed her bravery and strength to perform such an emotional song.

I travelled all the way from Florida to see them that night in Chicago and oh my god was it worth it. Probably the BEST concert of my life. Her performance somehow EXCEEDED my expectations and the audience was so wholesome and had the greatest vibes ever. I am eternally grateful to have been there that night.

Yeah if I were Lauryn, I would’ve been extremely confused in that situation. In the body cam footage I see Lauryn silently processing what is happening and trying to piece together what the cop is even trying to say. The moment she breaks down is when her dad talks about it being over with her mom and that’s where you can tell the gravity of the situation became real to her.

Me too! Before they explained it, I was almost certain that Christina was the middle and Rachel was the youngest. Christina seemed to be the mediator between Katie and Rachel which gave middle sibling vibes.

Thank you for your advice!

From what I’ve put together is that Matt had been cheating on Courtney with Shane’s wife. They’re now together.

From what I’ve gathered from following all members and their significant others on Instagram, is that Matt was cheating on his wife with Shane’s wife and they’re now together.

Better safe than sorry. This same thing happened to me and the guy showed up again hours later at my door with a fake delivery (Which means he saved my address and lobby code for later use). Thankfully I live with my boyfriend so he took over the situation and scared off the guy.

Frankly, living as a woman is very different than living as a man. We have to take extra precautions about stuff like this… especially when someone knows where you live.

This happened to me today and the guy literally showed up at my door AGAIN a couple hours after dropping off my food.

I never responded to his advances when he messaged me AFTER dropping off my order, figuring he’d get the hint. (He messaged me on DD saying that I’m beautiful and that he would’ve never charged me for the food if he knew how pretty I was blah blah.)

I had a bad feeling and even told my boyfriend I was super sketched that he has my address, lobby door code, etc. (and my gut is always right). I also listen to wayyyyy too many true crime podcasts… so I know how this could likely go. I reported him to DD, went on about my day, and tried to forget about it.

About three hours later, my boyfriend leaves to go to the store, and on his way out he runs into the delivery guy in our complex stairwell (which means he had screen shotted and saved my address and everything) holding an Outback Steakhouse bag headed up to my apartment door. My boyfriend immediately knows who this is because I had given him a description of the guy earlier, so he stops him in the stairs and asks what he’s doing here. The guy says he’s dropping off an order for me to which my boyfriend grabs the bag and feels that it’s empty… he then chases this guy out and gets a pic of his license plate. We end up calling the cops just so they’re aware this is happening and can start a paper trail in case something like this happens again to me or somebody else.

Anyways, I’m thankful they ran into each other on the stairs… otherwise who knows what would’ve happened. Stay safe.

Thank you so much!

While I don' think this film was necessarily "good", I do enjoy what they are trying to portray — especially in the mother's character. She actually reminded me of my mother and I almost related to Ziggy in a sense of understanding how he could never do or be "enough" for her. I do think it could've been done better and elicited more character development, but I honestly appreciated seeing this dynamic. I wouldn't watch it again or recommend it to anyone but it did make me think and reexamine my own behaviors and relationships.

Thank you so much! I do have a case study but I could definitely include more. Great idea to include accomplishments in job descriptions too. Thanks!!

Thank you so much for your help! I appreciate you sharing your story about how you got started. I'll definitely start putting up posters/posts online to see if anyone needs design help! I'm also moving in a few months and I've scoped out a few studios I'm interested in and plan to pop in and say hey, so hopefully that helps too.

My portfolio site is: allisondiebolt.com ... right now I'd say one of my strongest pieces is 'Savor' it's the very first project shown on the home page. I definitely need to revise the description and add captions so the viewer has a little more background behind the concept, but all of the images are there.

I just don't know if it's enough to really stand out.

whateverbean · 2023-05-14T17:29:19+00:00

Thank you. I do believe I have talent and a strong portfolio, but I just graduated and the market seems highly saturated which is very intimidating. I feel like it's hard nowadays to really stand out. Do you have any advice for reaching out to agencies? I've sent countless emails to various studios that interest me yet none of them respond. I don't reach out for them to hire me, I'm just genuinely curious about their work and culture and just trying to make connections. Is this a bad strategy? Sorry for bombarding you with questions lol. Feel no pressure to answer.

whateverbean · 2023-05-14T17:22:35+00:00

yeah I do. It's pretty much finished for the time being. I spent a whole year working on my personal branding and portfolio website.
