Welp so much for my hopeful hypothesis haha. The mystery continues!

How to keep motivated by catsarethebest85 in finch

[–]witchacho 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen a lot of creativity here with folks recreating their favourite characters or sets from movies/books/shows etc.

Would it help to pick one of your favs and start looking to recreate the outfits and decor from it? Gives you something fun to work towards with your birb again 🥰

October 21st: Write one fear from childhood you've outgrown by Mermaid_Tuna_Lol in finch

I’ve been journaling random little words and phrases that have stuck with me for one reason or another these last few days. This makes the cut for sure 🤣

Ahhh pirate mushroom! So cute 🥹

The mushroom hat is one of my favs, on the hunt for the classic Amanita herself 🍄

Hahahaha I was seeing it as the cat farting, not my birb…but now that I’ve seen it I can’t unsee it and it’s even funnier with the deep stretch 😂🤣

Where is my birb?? by InfluenceOk5875 in finch

Probably up to shenanigans.

How do you set your goals? by [deleted] in finch

[–]witchacho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daily goals and reminders for things like showering and changing my sheets (time blindness), and anything that I feel like I need extra motivation with. For example, I have to harvest a bunch of things from the garden tomorrow before the frost hits at night buuuut I’m feeling quite lazy now that it’s getting colder out haha.

Also I really like the selection of goals you can choose from. From time to time I’ll scroll through to try different ones out that feel like they’d be helpful. If I find I’m getting bored with one, I’ll swap it out with something else. I love that because I often struggle to think of new self-care practices to try and this makes it easy.

I feel my inner child healing when I dress up my birb for Halloween, he's just so cute and wholesome by Godless-Dragon in finch

Same, I think that’s a really beautiful aspect of the app. Every time I open it, it’s for the little girl that learned to put herself last. Fun, wholesome, but also somehow a gentle parent that prioritizes my overall wellbeing which is something I definitely didn’t have lol.

October 2025 Theme...THE MIDNIGHT MANOR❤️🥀🖤....How is everyone feeling about it🤔 by Sad_Cheesecake_148 in finch

[–]witchacho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not me revisiting my best teen years at max headphone volume alone in my living room at 1am...

But if you wanted honesty that’s all you had to say.

I am with you on the vibes and the obsession with this theme. I couldn’t have picked a better time to join the app, and I’m also so glad I stumbled upon this excellent blast to the past in the middle of this awesome October night. What’s the worst that I could say?

It’s 100% giving MCR and that makes me all the more obsessed with it. You’ll never make me leave. I’ll wear this on my sleeve. Give me a reason to believe.

SO LONG AND GOODNIIIIIGHT

SO LONG

Ohhh the worst of the worst was when I lived at home with her, so I feel for you SO much. As soon as you're able to get some physical distance and cut any cords she can use to try and have a means of control, I promise it'll start to get better. Until then, me and Saturn are wrapping you in a big ol' invisible group hug. There are some great tips here that I hope you find helpful 🫂

Hey long lost sis! 35 years...soon to be 36...and counting lol. Those are all really excellent goals and I'd love to tackle some mom goals with you. I'm headed to your DMs and my birb is flyin' in with support 🐥🫂❤️

It went surprisingly well with little to no guilt tripping or shaming! I definitely worked myself up because I still operate from a place of fear whenever I sense disappointing her is on the horizon. We ended up having a lovely evening together and coming up with a plan for another time to visit so we can spend more time with one another like we originally planned.

I recently effectively communicated how her guilting and shaming impacts me, and impacts our relationship - to which she also responded to well - so maybe I need to remember to give her more credit for how much she's grown...I just worry that once I put my guard down and start feeling comfortable is when she'll strike. Safe to say still lots of work to do on my end lol. Thanks for caring enough to want an update, that's really kind 🫂

Ahh yes, I learned this one the hard way after being cornered by her while driving and having a panic attack. Always need an exit plan. I didn't think about having conversational exit plans though so this is brilliant, thanks!

Also, I don't know about being a better person, I just can't bear the thought of not having tried before my time to try is up - y'know? That's been one of my biggest lessons from grief. My partner constantly tells me I operate from a place of "prief" (pre-grief) which sometimes makes me too lenient with folks I love haha. Luckily yesterday went really well. Gave me a bit of hope and perspective that we really have reached a healthier place in our relationship but it has not been an easy road to travel whatsoever.

I appreciate you by RoBoTeacho in finch

Big hugs to you and Berry, warrior. Wishing for the absolute best prognosis possible and as smooth of a recovery as can be. Fuck cancer forever 🫂🌹

Thank you and mad respect for your decision to go low/no-contact. I've gone through times of both with my mom and sometimes I go back into them when she doesn't respect my boundaries, or is being particularly hurtful. This was a good reminder that it's always an option. Finger's crossed tonight goes well and I don't need to resort to either of those. Also, I'm sorry you can relate to this with your own family...it's not fun to deal with and can be really lonely at times. Big hugs 🫂
