For me:
My childhood. Living in a place with a garden. My good health.
There are others but I think there are, or were, the most valuable.
As I have grown older I’ve become more aware of these things. I try to always enjoy and be thankful for the good things and people in my life - right now.
The way I read it, she’s just trying to elaborate so people will understand what she means. Ironic that so many misunderstood because of it. But I could be wrong. Would never defend anyone with a racist attitude.
You can cook bacon in the microwave. Perfect result in much less time.
Aww.. I know all cats are different, and some people will swear that their kitty doesn’t want company. But I just know that mine are so happy to have each other. And it makes me feel so much better leaving in the morning.
I really hope you two kitty cats bond like mine have and can keep each other happy and entertained when you’re not there. Also, them playing and chasing each other around keeps them fit (they’re indoor cats).
Please post how they’re doing, I’d love to follow them 😻😻
You’re not dying unless you want to. I was down to 42 kg (92 lbs I think) at 26 years old. Had been smoking for 10 years. Went to get help, was clean 2 months later. Cut off all my bad contacts and reconnected with the good people that was in my life previously, including family. Found a job. Honestly, it was no fun in the beginning and I kept dreaming about getting back.. but I didn’t. It’s been years now. I’m healthy and happy. Still think about it sometimes, but then I remind myself of how miserable I was. If I could do that, you can too. Sounds like you hit rock bottom. That’s what it took for me to really wanting to make that change. For me. Not anyone else. Do it for you. You still haven’t lost that many years and opportunities. I have settled for a life much more modest than what I could have had. You can still recover in time to make your previous goals and dreams come true. I sincerely wish you well.
Mine are at the door too. They can recognise the way I walk up the stairs apparently, so they know it’s me coming home. But it’s not as much to greet me as to get a chance of escaping and having a blast exploring the stairway. I think an only cat would be more attached to their human and more eager for interaction. I have two, they play around together all day while I’m gone, so they’re not desperate for attention or company. But it’s okay. The thought that they are not alone missing someone while I’m not there totally makes up for it.
Undress and put on my bathrobe. Wear it for the rest of the day (unless I need to venture outside).
Baked beans. And canned ravioli. Mom didn’t have much money so that was often dinner.
One of my favourites was rice with soy sauce. We had that often too. But she made sure we also got veggies every day. Even if it was mostly defrosted spinach. Didn’t like that too much either, but we ate what we had. Probably why I’m not a picky eater now. I enjoy nice food much more than anyone I know lol.
I never understood.. especially if you have an open relationship, but to me personally it would actually not matter. If the person I love is having a child and wants me to be a parent with her. I really wouldn’t care about dna. And honestly, if you both agreed on having an open relationship, what did you expect? A new born child is innocent. And if you choose to be the father, then you are just that. Why are everyone so caught up on genetics??
Okay I get it. Prices for renting is insane. Hope you found a place with a more reasonable price.
They are ethnic Caucasians. Not ethnic Asians. And they were the only non ethnic Asians there.
She’s not saying that they are Asian. Read right.
Guess some people just really want to find something they can be offended about..
Sometimes.. I just don’t understand my fellow redditors. I wish you would explain what you find offensive. I may be completely whoosh, but I have no chance of doing better next time when I don’t know what I did wrong.
I had a feeling.. No matter what you still have many years ahead of you. And sometimes life surprises you and changes happen that you would never have expected. I hope that for you.
I feel you. But I’m very happy to know that you did get to have children in your life. I’m sure they love you and your love for them has made an indescribable difference for them. I still understand your pain though. And how it never goes away. Hugs
Oh… but you are still young. My best years were from 18 to 25. You have your independence but you’re still young enough to enjoy yourself and won’t have to worry too much about hard and boring stuff. I don’t know your situation, it of course depends on many things. But you still have so many opportunities*, you have better health than you’ll probably have later.
I hope you can find a more positive angle and appreciate the decade to come. Ten years from now you will look back at when you were 18 and hopefully think “That’s when the good years of my life began”. My best wishes to you.
- I hope you will find, that you still have plenty of opportunities. Good luck.
I know what you mean. Sad but true..
I know exactly what you mean. I used to daydream a lot when I was younger. It really gave me some kind of free space in my mind. I miss that too..
I’m sorry about that. Unfortunately it seems more and more people are having trouble. Some friends I know have adopted. Some have found other ways to fulfill their lives, like appreciating the ability to travel more, be creative or have loving pet. But I understand that for a lot of people this will never replace having a baby. I wish you happiness.
They do! They’re sisters, born in a back alley close to where I live. Took them in and they grew up together. Each other’s best friends and playmates 😻😻
Greetings from my two lil girls 😻😻

Or at least if it was me being involved in this. I know many people feel differently, but I have always only had relationships with really nice people. We’re still friends and I’d never date a guy who had a problem with me being friends with someone just because I dated them in the past. To me that sounds like insecurity and him not trusting OP. Can’t be bothered with that. Bye-bye.
AITAH for getting angry at my GF for going drinking with her ex and then going with him back to her apartment to walk her dog?
