I recently turned 21 and I feel like I have not adapted into my “femininity” if that makes sense. I grew up a tomboy so a lot of conventionally “feminine” things never really interested me. As I grew up, I started getting into hair and makeup but that’s about it. I can probably count how many times I’ve had acrylics because I always end up breaking a nail within a week. I can probably count how…
2020 began as a nightmare in my life before the pandemic was ever named. I left a terrible relationship with a narcissist, got fired from my job, got a therapist, and pivoted my life away from the world I'd created over the near decade before. I went back to school for a valuable diploma that I earned mostly online. This was challenging in it's own ways but it was a real blessing to have something…
Without getting into discussing my own religion and others, I was brought up in a semi conservative house hold. My parents believe in religion but they're not strict with the practices, nor are my relatives very strict but it does seem like the rest of society and my friends are more into the practices and traditions. I suffered from depression for the past three years of my life, I reached a…
Title pretty much sums it up. I've (28F) never exceptionally "challenged" myself with work before, but I'm ready to make some big changes. My background is in English/writing but I don't think I want to pursue that as a career; I enjoy it too much as a creative outlet/escape, I don't want to make it a career. I do love typing/data entry. I'm also very interested/invested in true crime. I'm heavily…
The whole trial is a fiasco. She definitely seems abusive but so does he and the fact that it’s televised makes me feel this whole thing is a show for him. Idk what to say apart from what are your thoughts on the situation between AH and JD? [link] [comments]
I’ve decided to go back to college to finish my Bachelors, but I’m not sure where to start. I’m unsure of how to balance my full time job with school. I also don’t know what to look for in a college. My overall goal is to get a degree that will help me to get a job in marketing. I’ve worked in communications for about a year and I’m finding only having an Associates is a barrier to professional…
I’ve always found it hard to open up, to let people know me. I can maintain acquaintances and “light” friendships where we hang out and talk about surface level topics but don’t really confide in each other or talk about anything serious. I would wish for a deeper connection and know that in order to achieve that, I needed to open up. But with these light friends, something would stop me from…
So, I’ve had some troubles making friendships in my adult life but I’ve gotten much better at it over the last few years. I had a BFF from 12-25 who was like my sister. We were very attached to each other all those years. When it came time to leave home we became roommates. She had a child at 16 and I lived with them and helped raise her son. Then she got involved in drugs and destroyed her life,…
I remember someone saying that we need go give ourselves what we are missing in our lives. What if all my friends are in a romantic relationships and I've never been in one and only faced with rejection all the time from people whom I was interested in not only that I'm demisexual as well. ( now I know that relationships aren't everything and all of this other stuff people like to tell me when…
Heya, I really want to invest in how I dress but I seem to have zero intuition to clothing and styling, I watched several YouTube videos about how to style for my body shape(Pear), but I still feel lost. I am also thinking of buying a sewing machine(they are kind of expensive in my country so maybe I will get me an aliexpress one), so I can make jeans fit me better length wise(petite). Have any of…
