Nothing will ever top the Tumblr days, esp when 1D and the indie rock/alternative scene started gaining more traction
We have cameras in the hall, so if anyone goes into a classroom for any reason, we'll know.
I honestly donāt care if there are hard feelings in my situation. I was just curious about this personās experience, thatās all.

This is true! I'm replacing the previous English 9 teacher at our school and he left me a ton of posters and supplies. Not to mention a large desk and fan š

Sorry, not my intention to insult
Was thinking about this recently actually, and Iām kinda confused as to why urban outfitters pressed every one of their albums except this one. I wonder if there are some sort of copyright issues or something.
Actually most of my hobbies are solo stuff like puzzles, reading, writing, gardening, knitting, etc. Boring stuff like that, but I find them fun! None of my friends share any of my hobbies, so I'm used to doing stuff on my own. I don't think age is going to affect me here, but we'll see! Who knows!
My friend group now is full of amazing, like-minded people. My old friends from childhood, like throughout elementary and some into high school, were the ones who started changing drastically. Finding people like me feels rare, but I know they're out there. You're right, will continue to look around and hope for the best i guess.
I know it's not just armenians that behave this way, I never said they were the only ones. I was just asking why it's so hard for us as a community to connect, especially when all of our parents and their parents before them all came from a tight-knit community. I know everyone wears masks when they're in public, but I almost never have issues meeting and befriending odars. Armenians are never as friendly, and that's my target friend group.
I do have a friend group right now that is predominantly armenian, so i do know that people like me exist out there, but it took me 25 years to find them and I don't think that should be the case considering how close our community can and should be. I want things to be different for my younger brother and sister in the future, that's all.
Woah, I never said I disliked kids. I just said I didn't want any. Also, did you read through the comments? There's a good mix of perspectives from MANY sides, not just two. My desire for a single life has nothing to do with my confidence and everything to do with my personal pleasure. If that bothers you, fine, but it shouldn't! It's not your life to worry about!
You say a lot of younger people seem misguided in this regard, but how many younger people do you actually know that you feel comfortable *generally speaking* for them? I am very loved and I am surrounded with *younger people* who love me unconditionally and receive that same love from me in return. I'm not trying to be edgy at all, I simply came here with my beliefs, shared them, and asked for different perspectives. I am capable of loving people and people are capable of loving me, but we don't have to be in a relationship or married. Easy concept, right?
I don't need to convince people that I'm happy because I genuinely am happy. Do you have an issue with that too?
True, but not willing to take that risk.
OP has lots of friends that reciprocate love and kindness back to her, and she has 2 dogs š
This feels a lot like my situation, so this was very helpful! Thanks!
Hey there. No one's pressuring me into doing anything, in fact their steering me away from the very thing they want me to do, so no worries there. The reassurance I was seeking was coming from a place of insecurity, I agree, as I tend to have a more anxious nature, especially when thinking about the future. I am pretty assertive already and generally shut people down when they try to question me about my decisions, but my family is very intrusive and doesn't understand boundaries. Don't worry, we're working on it!
I was just genuinely curious as to what people who have lived their lives well into the older years think about this topic and how they feel after having experienced it for themselves. The people around me all think the same, so sometimes I'm only hearing "you're going to be so lonely for the rest of your life if you really think having kids is such a bad thing." The reassurance I was seeking was more of a "is this true?" than a "oh my god im gonna be alone for the rest of my life??? guys what do i do????"
And change is not something I'm afraid of. I embrace change! I know that my mindset will not be the same 10 years from now, and that excites me. I do not suppress myself. Like I said, I have my hand in lots of cookie jars because I love trying new things, not because I'm trying to distract myself or anything. I'm not the same person I was 5 years ago, and I've even changed a whole lot within the last year. Growth is something I welcome into my life.
Yes, thank you! I am not opposed to marriage at all. I wonder if that's what people assume when I tell them I don't want kids. If i get married, fine. If i don't, fine. The sun will come up tomorrow regardless, i don't get why that's so hard to understand. Nothing's too serious unless you let it be.
Just generally throughout life, so family, family friends, school, neighborhood, through other friends. All that. Just around.
I've had lots of armenian friends growing up, but the issue was that they all started turning into those homophobic racists we were talking about earlier and I couldn't stand to be around them. It feels like all of the people I knew from my childhood turned into these monstrous people, and I don't know what happened. This was all in LA. NoHo to be exact. Maybe it's just NoHo man š
