girls are weird is zooey deschanel in font form.
Lucida Console can not be fun.
I use Tahoma as my default when I’m doing actual documents for signature, and Lucida Console for fun.
Let’s be real. My preferred fancy font in high school was Papyrus. You know you loved it too.
Hey everyone! What are you reading? Just finished All the Light we Cannot See.
Uh, white people will come out of this administration far less scathed than folks of color. We’ve got to call them out on that. White nationalism got Trump elected. If white women are afraid of black women asking them to consider their needs, then yes, we’ve got to address it. It’s mockable. Addressing it is the only…
Really? Really? Can we ever...EVER stop eating our own? We (progressives) have the biggest single enemy (obvious) to defeat since...Christ I don’t even know who...and we’re still doing this? We’re going to criticize and alienate white people who are late to the party for being late to the party? Now is not the…
You’re self-aware and introspective enough to know that what went down wasn’t good to you nor was it good for you...and seriously...YOU ARE SO AHEAD OF THE GAME REGARDING THAT!!!! As long as you heed your first mind, or as my Mama calls it...”Your Christ mind...” (LOL)...you will probably NEVA go wrong!
I did that too at your age. I wanted an “experience” despite what my gut was telling me and I ended up feeling really gross, used, and stupid. It became painfully obvious very quickly that he just wanted some young flesh and would say anything to get it but I didn’t know yet how to get out of the situation. There…
I’ve has the exact same weird response from conservative guys fetishizing my own “rebellious liberal retorts.” I only encountered it with dudes who lived mostly in conservative bubbles and weren’t used to being around any progressives. It was like they got off on being challenged, but at the same time never took me…
Like so many others have said, this is not uncommon. I think the silver lining is - once you recover from feeling exploited - is you are discovering your boundaries. You’re figuring out what is healthy and unhealthy, and this is a good thing.
Everything you’re saying about him & how/why you started hanging out reminds me of the very bad no good NPD ex. Proud of you for pulling out before it got worse!
Just listen to yourself, every part of your intuition was tellingly you “this is gross, this is not making me feel good” so don’t beat yourself up about it—just trust yourself next time.
You want me to egg his house? I’ll egg his house.
I’m glad I could make your day, your initial comment absolutely helped mine. Since before she hit teen years I have tried to talk to my daughter about issues she would face and have to deal with, from male entitlement to gaslighting and so much awfulness in-between; in fact when we were talking about what happened she…
You stepped out of your comfort zone and did something slightly out of character and it didn’t turn out great. That’s part of maturing and experiencing life. Now you can say with certainty that’s something you are NOT looking for in the future. Nothing to feel ashamed about, it’s a life lesson. Time to move on to the…
1) Stop blaming yourself.Awkward sexual encounters are part of 99.999% of people’s 20s.
Been there. I hope you know that none of your behavior (feeling needy, taking a risk, not speaking up, etc.) is weird or wrong or even unusual. Don’t feel ashamed that you didn’t have this whole thing figured out right out of the gate. It took me years to figure out how to navigate my relationship with an abusive ex.
I’m very sorry that happened to you, and you don’t deserve to be used like that. It sounds like you are down on yourself because you allowed it to happen, but it also sounds like he mislead you and misrepresented himself until he could make you vulnerable. Good for you for seeing that it wasn’t a good situation, and…
