Funny story but we found out I am 6 weeks pregnant the day after we sent out our save the dates 😅
If all works out 🙏🏻 the baby will be about 7-8 weeks old on the day of our wedding… has this happened to anyone?
I’m wondering if this will be too quick of a turn around for a brand new baby and myself to attend a wedding.
If so we will need to figure out a good time to talk to vendors and venue if we would be allowed to change the date of the event 😅
Haven’t really told anyone besides my fiancé so thanks for letting me share the news!

So I was just scrolling sa tiktok then napanood ko yung vid na yung little girl kasama nya dad nya, while the staff was singing happy birthday to the little girl and then yung dad kaharap yung anak nya and he was taking a vid of his little girl. And yung little girl nakasmile lang sya tapos tumayo sya and then niyakap yung dad nya, then she started crying na probably because he appreciated his dad was so happy that time.
Ayon bigla na lang din akong naiyak, bigla ko kase narealize na mamamatay akong never ko naramdaman magkaron ng father sa buhay ko. Last memory ko sa dad ko when I was 7 years old pa and 22 years old na ko ngayon, yung memory pa na yon that was the first and last time na nakita ko sya since I grew up in a broken family. Naiinggit tuloy ako don sa video kase that's the only thing that I can never give to myself. The feeling of having a mother and a father in my life, yes mahal ako ng tita and lola ko and alam ko yon. Pero nakakainggit kase yung manggagaling mismo yon sa tatay at nanay mo, yung tipong may susuporta sayo. Wtf 22 na ko pero di man lang ako nakatanggap ng kahit anong suporta sa tatay ko.
Ayun lang, di ko alam bat bigla akong naiyak but I guess ang masasabi ko na lang is sanaol may tatay. Ang kaya ko lang gawin is kung magkakaanak man ako, hanapan sya ng tatay na hindi sya iiwan at ippriority sya, yung bagay na di nagawa ng tatay ko sakin.

In case you don't know, the Sun Princess is Princess Cruises' latest behemoth ship, carrying around 3,000 guests and 1,000 crew at full capacity. I just got back from a 2-week sailing and took meticulous notes on this epic new vessel. Here's my extremely detailed, no-BS review:

The Sheer Size is Nuts

When I say this ship is massive, I mean it's absolutely nuts how big this floating city is. Especially when you get off in ports and have to walk back down the dock to reboard - that's when the sheer scale of the Sun Princess really hits you. Even though it carries a ton of people, the only time it really felt crowded was during breakfast. The Eatery fills up quick and the International Cafe, which sits outside The Eatery doesn't lend itself well for crowds of people wiaint for their coffees. You kind of end up waiting in the middle of where the walking traffic moves.

The Medallion Life

Your entire cruise experience revolves around the new Medallion wearable device and app, for better or worse. I'll admit it has some creepy "Big Brother" vibes with how much it tracks your every movement and purchase. But the convenience it provides is undeniable.
The medallion is your modern day "cruise card" that you tap everywhere to make payments, order drinks, unlock your stateroom, get on/off the ship, and more. But what's crazy is the app can use the medallion to detect your location anywhere on board. Order a drink or meal through the app and the server will manage to find you anywhere on the ship to deliver it, usually within 15 minutes. Caveat: there were times when it took longer and other times when our order was marked "delivered" and it never arrived.
The medallion definitely feels like getting on/off the ship is way faster. The only time we ever waiting in line was for the few minutes it took people to run through security.
This made getting food/drinks almost too easy. On port days when we needed to get off the ship early for excursions, setting up a scheduled delivery of my Egg McMuffin, fruit plate in coffee was really convenient.
Fair warning though - if you're anti-tracking and value privacy over convenience, the ubiquitous Medallion system may not be for you.
Story: we were sitting by the Crooners bar having our nightly pre-dinner cocktail. The bar was packed on this night for some reason. A staff member in a suit started wandering the room, made eye contact with me from 40-feet away and then made a b-line for us. He wanted to sign us up for a wine/food pairing event they were having. I have to believe this is because of the tracking being done via the meddalion. They could see we drink our share of wine. It definitely felt like targeted marketing.

Premium Package Was Best for Us

We opted for the Premium beverage package at $80 per day and I'm glad we did for a few reasons:

1. If you need to have more than one device connected to the internet at a time, Premium makes sense just based on that (you can have four devices). The cheaper Plus package only allows one device, which was a non-starter for me needing both my phone and laptop to be online. I'm unfortunately not able to just live off the grid for almost three weeks and need to periodically check in with my clients.
2. The wine selection is way better with Premium vs Plus. As a wine drinker, the upgrade was 100% worth it.
3. Two free speciality dining meals are included, which was clutch on our 2-week cruise to break up the repetition of the main dining rotation.
4. Unlimited premium desserts and ice creams - a nice perk for those with a sweet tooth.

Basically, Premium removed almost any need to think about or worry over costs on board. For $80 per day, the premium drinks, speciality dining, better wines, desserts and internet made it an easy choice for our group's needs.
And for those wondering about the 15 drink per day limit (since there's almost a weekly post asking about it) - it was never an issue for me. I'm a scrotch drinker and to get a decent pour, you basically have to order a double. Even drinking doubles, I never got to 15 drinks/day. This even includes sea days where we'd typically have a mimosa or two with breakfast, a few cocktails/beers at the pool, an cocktail or two before dinner and then wine at dinner.

Staff & Service

I can't say enough about how incredible and friendly the service was across the board on the Sun Princess. Our room steward, waiters, bartenders - everyone went so above and beyond daily, it really elevated the experience. I'm always amazed how they remember everyone's names.
However, we did notice a clear slip in the quality of service in the second week compared to the first, likely due to a crew changeover partway through our sailing. Simple things like forgetting drink orders or getting meals wrong became more frequent from our new set of MDR servers.

Suites & Staterooms

We originally booked a balcony room. When the bid offer came in I followed some old advice and just placed bids on upgrades because "you don't have to take the offer if you don't like it." Well guess what, that's not the case anymore. My offer was accepted and we automatically became the proud recipients of a Reserve Mini-Suite for an additional $500. In hindsight, I'm glad it worked out. The room has noticably more space than a standard balcony room. These mini-suites are spacious, basically a separate living room and bedroom divided by a curtain you can close off. Having two TVs and an extra closet was great.
As mini-suite guests we also received a nice amenity of free premium wines in our room - on the second week they even topped us up with two more complementary bottles! I guess each week is looked at as a new sailing -- so you get two more bottles! Some older posts complained about the wine quality. It looks like it's been upgraded because we received a Pinot Noir and Chard from La Crema. Being California wine people, La Crema works great for us. If you can swing it, I'd highly recommend going for a mini-suite over a regular balcony.
That being said, I'd avoid the "Cabana" balcony suites. The layout is really bizarre and in my opinion a downgrade. When you walk out onto your balcony, it's not really a balcony. There's another area in front of your balcony that connects a few other cabana suites. The idea is that a few rooms share a private balcony with jacuzzi. However, it also means that walking out onto your balcony doesn't give you a private ocean view because there's this 20-30 feet of additional patio in front of you and everyone above you just looks down into your balcony area.

Dining Highs & Lows

Main Dining Rooms

It can be confusing because there are three floors (Decks 6, 7 and 8). We reserved dining in the MDR prior to the trip via the app for the first few days just so we knew there was a guaranteed place to eat. On night one, the dining room manager introduced himself to us and said he went ahead and booked our table for us every night of the trip. If we didn't show, it was fine.
Food quality in the main dining rooms (MDRs) was consistently good across breakfast and dinner. On port days, it's an "express breakfast" which just means a shorter list of options. Nothing mind-blowing, but solid and tasty. My biggest gripe here is the operating hours. On sea days, the MDR closes for breakfast at 9:00am. You basically have to choose between sleeping in a little, hitting the gym, or getting a decent breakfast.
Pro-Tip: Biggest breakfast tip is stay away from the scrammbled eggs -- they're gross. We figured out that the scrambled eggs come from a bag. If you want real, cracked eggs, either get an omelett or over easy/medium/hard/etc.

Reserve Suite Dining Access

The Reserve mini-suite gives you access to the Reserve Restaurant. It's a little bit more elevated of a dining experience and reservations aren't needed -- you just show up. We dined her a few times and it did feel more elevated. Unlike the MDR, the server in the Reserve Restaurant feels more personal because they're handling smaller groups.

Lido Deck

For more casual fare, the Lido deck had some surprises like an awesome made-to-order salad bar station that became my go-to for healthier meals between all the indulgent dining. The burger grill, taco station and pizza areas were pretty standard, but that salad bar slapped.

Lackluster Buffet

On the flip side, The Eatery buffet left a lot to be desired. Despite different themed stations, the quality was mid at best. We largely avoided eating at the buffet outside of quick breakfast grabs. The Eatery closes for breakfast around 10:00 AM. At which point if you move further into the ship, the restaurants that are normall Catch and Butcherblock become a buffet extension that's opened later -- it's kind of funky.
The layout of the buffet is weird and leaves people wondering if they're cutting in line especially when you go to the extended buffet at Catch/Butcherblock.
What's odd to me is you can go grab a million cheese plates, fruit plates or hummus/veggie plates at the buffet. But if you order those things through the Medallion app, it's not "complimentary." You have to pay like $4.99-$5.99 for those items. We still can't figure out why it costs $5 to order a tiny cheese plate but ordering a cheeseburger is free.

Specialty Dining Winners

We used our two speciality dining credits at Crown Grill and Butcher's Block. I was a little worried because I had read mixed reviews on here about both of these restaurants. However, both meals were really good and before you come at me, I'm a foodie guy -- I'd tell you if they sucked.
We chose Crown for my parent's anniversay dinner. The service was awesome and they made us all feel really special. The setup here is like a steakhouse, where you order your beef and then the sides are a la carte family style. We had a group of seven -- the manager just said "we'll bring you out all the sides, enough for your whole party" which was great.
The next week, we hit up Butcher's Block by Dario. I've never left a meal more full on a cruise ship than at this place. It's family style dining and they just bring out everything for you -- almost like a brazilian barbecue place. We started with a bread appetizer and a glass of wine while you wait for them to get the dining room setup. Then there's more bread on the table + veggies. Then the food starts coming out: beef tartar; beef carpaccio; etc. The main event is the massive tomahawks and porterhouse steaks they carve up tableside. They'll just keep putting beef on your plate until you beg them to stop. Finally, there's desert and a grappa digestif.
Both restaurants were great experiences and a very welcomed change from the MDR after a week of repetition. The food, service and overall vibe were a noticeable step up.

Spellbound

We also splurged one night for the Spellbound immersive magic/dinner experience and it was easily a cruise highlight despite the $150/pp price tag. After an elevated multi-course meal, you get ushered by a guy in a top hat into an exclusive hidden club. While waiting for the magic show, you hang out in their bar which is reminiscent of the Dinseyland Haunted Mansion. While enjoying your drink, there's a magician perorming more intement magic for everyone at the bar. Once they're ready for the show, you're brought into the room where the actual magic show takes place. Afterwards, you're welcome to hang out in the Spellbound bar and continue drinking.
If you're from LA, you probably know about the Magic Castle in Hollywood. Spellbound is an extension of the Magic Castle. Just like with the Magic Castle, you show up in formal wear. This means a coat and tie for the men and an evening gown/dress for the woman.
Overall, we really enjoyed it.

Room Service

This was hit or miss for us. You fill out the paper door hangar and place it on your doorknob before heading to bed. Then you hope and pray that it will actually arrive -- which in two of our instances, it never did. Your options are also super limited. You also may or may not receive what you actually ordered. With coffee for instance, you have a choice of ordering it to-go (paper cup) or stay (actual coffe cup). We always seemed to get the opposite of what we ordered to the point where it became a running joke for us.

International Cafe

This became our goto for a lot of things: coffee, snacks, quick breakfast food (pastries, coffee cake, avodcado toast, Egg McMuffins). Werid fact though: if you order the Egg McMuffin through the app, it comes as an egg patty just like McDonalds and with cheese. When you get the one at International Cafe, it's just an over easy egg and no cheese. Why they can't just be the same is odd.

Night Owl Needs

My main dining gripe was the lack of solid late night food options for us night owls. The Eatery buffet closed at an absurd 10:30pm, leaving only spotty room service or mobile ordering as the choices if you worked up an appetite after evening activities. More robust late-night casual dining would be appreciated.

Bars & Alcohol

Overall, great selection of cocktails. All of the bars have their own little theme and different menus. The ladies I was with were consitently impressed at the quality and thought of the cocktails at each bar. They were also super impressed with the quality of the glassware being used. I must admit, everything from the rocks glasses to the martini glasses really were beautiful.
If you just want straight spirits, you have to order a double to get a normal pour (they're actually measuring out the pours). That being said, with either Plus or Premium, you'll get a good selection of top quality booze.
You gotta try really hard to hit the 15-drink max. Some days I had drinks at breakfast, during the day, lunch, before dinner, during dinner and after dinner. I never hit my max.
One thing that impressed me was staff actually being concerned about drink quality. We were having drinks at one of the bars on the Lido deck. The supervisor was upset with the bartenders because they ran out of premium liquor and hadn't requested more. He made sure to remind them that when someone orders a premium drink they get a premium liquor -- no exceptions.
You also must checkout the Good Spirits bar. There's a few times throughout the night where you watch a live cocktail demonstration. The bartenders at GS are so fun and playful -- really makes for a great vibe.

Amenities - Hits & Misses

The gym facilities on board were a bit of a disappointment, especially for a new ship. While they had a nice assortment of cardio machines, the actual weight room was laughably small with only a few pieces of strength equipment that were always monopolized. Not a deal-breaker, but an area that could be improved.
The pool areas were nicely spread out across different sections of the Lido deck. On sailing days, there was typically a band, the DJ and then a random movie on the jumbotron. The random blasting of action movies at 3pm really ruined the pool vibe and it's typically when the deck would thin out. One minute you're relaxing in the jacuzzi, the next an action movie with explosions is shaking the pool area. It made no sense and seemed tailored for a much younger crowd despite this sailing's passengers being mostly older adults.

Technology & Support

In addition to the Medallion app, the overall internet speeds on board were fast and reliable enough for me to easily stay connected for basic work needs.
The technology support via the app's live chat feature, however, was utterly useless. Any time we had issues properly being charged for drink packages or had to modify reservations, the live chat was a time-wasting nightmare. You're clearly just talking to an outsourced rep with zero actual knowledge of Princess' systems or operations. Your best bet is to go in-person to the guest services desk.

Other Notes & Quibbles

• Dress codes weren't enforced at all. We did the whole suite/gown routine for formal nights only to see plenty of people still rocking jeans and t-shirts in the MDR. Same lack of enforcement for the "formal attire required" Spellbound event. Either lose the formal nights or enforce them.
• Our drink package tallies often had errors, with our group's drinks randomly getting combined onto one person's account. Always double check and ask for corrections.
• The "Cabana" balcony suite layout is bizarre - your balcony is just a shared landing in front of other suites, rather than a private space. We avoided these after hearing the lack of privacy.

Hey reddit! I'm a 38 year old latin guy from Washington DC. Honesty is the best policy so I'll make it known now that I'm not looking for platonic friends, I'm looking for a romantic partner. Buckle up, because I'm about to unveil why I may or may not be the right partner for you in a classic listicle style that all you youngin's love.
About Me:
^{You'll never believe number 6!}

1. I'm a bit of a stoner. It's true, your boy loves himself some marijuana. (In fact, I just did a 20mg edible) I endeavor to never let it take over my life, but it aids a lot in #2 on this list. I'm also not a stranger to the very occasional mushroom trip.
2. I'm a true creative. Left to my own devices in an empty room, I would constantly create new things. Whether that be drawing, writings, photography, music or stoner ideas. It's my true nature to be a creative and to stifle that part of myself makes me pretty sad. Fortunately, I get to create on a daily basis. which brings me to..
3. I have the kindest heart. I see life through rose colored glasses, some may say. I just believe in the good in people. I think most people are good and those that are bad are redeemable. Whether someone is ultra religious, a different political affiliation, good, bad, ugly, whatever...I believe in getting to know them for myself and making my own decision of them. As a friend I always stick by my friends, no matter what. Friends in my life are friends for life, even if we lose touch. There is a downside to all this...it's that sometimes people take advantage of me. I don't care. When confronted with the choice to be loving or to be cruel or apathetic, I will always choose loving.
4. I make people laugh. Comedy and jokes have always been a part of me. Maybe it's the fact that I'm a middle child and craved attention or the fact that I grew up in a city where I had to be quick on my feet, but I love to make people laugh. This is best done in person but there can be humor over the internet too. :)
5. I don't take myself too seriously. I'm a talented person in my field and it's important for me to let go of my ego. There isn't a single person that I can't learn from and at my best I'm always open to listen to people's opinions of me or my creative work.
6. I see beauty in everyone, including you. If you hadn't guessed by now, I'm a photographer. I'm into portraits and I value my connection with people one-on-one and I think that's what makes me a talented portrait photographer. I often hear people talk about the things they hate about themselves but try to reflect to them their true beauty. The beauty that was always there and that they need to be reconnected to.
7. I'm culturally Latino. My parents are from El Salvador, but I was born and raised in DC. I have the experience of being born into a family of immigrants and understand the duality of living in two different worlds. While Spanish was my first language, it is not what I consider to be my native tongue. While I understand all Spanish, all my Spanish is food related.
8. I've done the self work. It's true. I'm not a man that punches walls, gets drunk and cries, will cheat on you, lie to you or a myriad of other things that toxic people do. I am not without faults, of course, but I have worked my demons out for the most part. I'm very self-aware and open to criticism and change.
9. I'm honest 99.5% of the time. Anyone professing to be honest 100% of the time is a liar. Ask me directly and I'll tell you my last big lie.
10. I know where I want to be in life. I'm close to getting there too. I've been at it for 13 years now and I feel that success is imminent. Will you be a part of it?

So what are you waiting for? Dust off that old keyboard, pound away at a few keys, and get ready to embark on an unforgettable adventure brought to you by (as they said in my day) the world wide web.
P.S - I'm 6'2. I should've started with that.

So disclaimer this is everything my roommate did when she lived with me from my perspective. Also this is a really long story because a lot happened, and I do tend to get sidetracked.
Before we became roommates, I had a situationship with this guy. Let’s call him John. John and I met in our first semester of college and hit it off right off the bat. John was a mutual friend of me and my psychotic roommate, which is how we were introduced. Let’s call her Shortstack. So Shortstack knew I had a thing for John, and was encouraging us to start a relationship which I thought was nice. Eventually, though, when there was a lull in our relationship she admitted to liking John, and I backed off because it was looking like a relationship between me and John wasn’t gonna happen. I did my best to subtly wingman and they ended up dating.
Right before they made it official, I had met someone new. We’ll call him Tim (I’m trying to use generic/default guy names to keep some anonymity). Tim and I hit it off right off the bat. He’s honestly the most genuine, talented, thoughtful, and interesting guy I’ve ever met. Anyway, right before John and Shortstack started dating, I got a text from Shortstack saying she had the hots for Tim and asked if I he was free game. I was a bit bothered by that, but she respected my answer when I politely told her that Tim and I had something good and I didn’t want anyone interfering. At least, I THOUGHT she respected my answer.
Almost a year later and I had asked Shortstack if she wanted to be my roommate so we could both live near school while not having to live on campus. Worst decision ever.
She moved in before I did, and when it was my turn to move in the place was an absolute disaster. Dirty clothes and empty Dominos boxes covered the floor. She had also set up her decorations all over the entire apartment (not really leaving any room for me, which was made worse by the fact that we shared a room, and the apartment was very tiny so we were basically living on top of each other). I brushed it off, but it never really got any better. Normally I wouldn’t be too upset, I’m not a huge neat freak or anything, but it peeved me that she would always point out any mess that I had made.
Here’s a list of some of her really gross habits: dirty underwear everywhere kept old dominos boxes everywhere would buy salads and let them expire and they would sit there until I took them out Refused to do any chores or contribute in any way our shower didn’t fully drain so hair was often left in the tub, but she never cleaned up after herself (meaning I was scrubbing her pubes out of the tub) Used tissues would be left on the ground Not flushing I never once saw her do laundry in the 6 months we lived together
I’m sure there’s more but these are just the ones that I remember. To be fair, here were my gross she took issue with: Leaving dishes in the sink for a long-ass time Letting my laundry basket overflow Walking around in a towel after I took a shower, even when her tinder dates were over (mostly cuz I didn’t give a shit and everything was covered, but I also understand that her glares when I would do that were a little deserved).
That was the easiest part of living with her that I had to deal with. It got so so so much worse, and slowly she started to reveal her true colours.
She had a job at a jewelry store, got fired. Moved to a job at a grocery store across the street, got fired. Bummed around for a few weeks, mostly just sitting on the couch doing arts and crafts. Tried a Zumba class, quit after 2 sessions. Finally she got hired at a movie theatre, but she would only work Friday and weekends. All the while a lot of new things were appearing in our apartment. New makeup, a makeup chair, a tiny plastic Dreamhouse, posters and picture frames, lights, you name it. She was also buying premade meals and continued to order Dominos and DoorDash, never making her own food.
That’s around the time I found a buried letter from our landlord saying she was 2 months behind on rent. (Also an honorable mention about her RGB lights, she would keep them on while I was trying to sleep, even when I had work in the morning which was most days and she’d throw a little hissy fit whenever I asked her to turn them off because it was midnight and I had to get up in a couple hours).
She would constantly be having guys over, but would never tell me, so I’d always come home to a stranger on our couch and I’d uncomfortably lock myself in our room. Walls were thin so I had to listen to her awful flirting and occasionally kissing noises. She had made a goal for herself to kiss at least 30 guys so she could write a book about it, one chapter for each guy. It’s funny because the book is coming out soon, I’m not gonna share the name because I don’t wanna promote an incel’s diary but if you happen to be one of the guys she wrote about, just know that she has said several times her type is “Generic kinda ugly white guys.” I don’t think that’s her type, I think she just says that because all of the super attractive guys she went after all shot her down so quick.
While she’s collecting “ugly-ish white guys” (her words), she has promised herself to some dude in the military overseas who has a ring with their initials carved into it (his name is Matt. I’m not censoring that because I genuinely hope he sees this even though chances are insanely slim. She’s Jodie-ing you my guy, and she wants to elope and marry you to piss her parents off and for financial benefits because she can’t keep a job).
ONTOP of all this, Tim (who at this point I had been with for over a year) would come over and visit sometimes. She was always miserable, but perked up and suddenly became so sweet and friendly whenever he was there. Tim kept trying to drop some social cues that he did not want to talk to her, but she ignored it. I also want to mention that Tim is incredibly attractive, physically and personality wise, which is the main reason I think that “ugly” isn’t actually her type, it’s just all she can get.
Oh quick mention one of her tinder guys was 17. She was close to 20 at the time. She said their age gap made her uncomfortable but she invited him over because she wanted to, and I quote, “lick his abs.” Take that as you will.
My breaking point with her was when I woke up one day with a random man in the room sleeping next to her. She let a random man from tinder have full unsupervised access to 2 unconscious girls and all of their valuable items. There’s more stuff she did but this is already super long so I’m going to leave it on this note. Let me know if you guys wanna hear the rest.

Hey 👋 I'm a 26-year-old girl who truly values meaningful connections and genuine friendships. I'm looking for a kind-hearted single guy who loves engaging conversations. Whether it's discussing our favorite books, exploring interesting topics, or just sharing what's on our minds, I enjoy diving deep into conversations that last long into the night. I also have a serious sweet tooth and adore pizza, especially with extra cheese and all the toppings.
If you appreciate friendship, enjoy humor, and love having meaningful conversations, I'd love to get to know you better. Let's start chatting and see where things go!

Hi, I’ll try to keep this short as I’m a chronic over-sharer. But my ex (28F) and I (25f) were together for a year and a half, and were friends before then. Two months ago, I decided I needed some space because we were moving really fast and I felt like I wasn’t getting any alone time. I was also dealing with some serious depression and anxiety. I told her I just needed some space to clear my head. A week after we broke up, she told me she ran into her first love ex (of four years) while she was back home. She reassured me that it was just a small catch up and nothing else. By this time, I had told her that I do want to be with her. She then began to say over the next few weeks that she needed to “learn how to be on her own” as she has been a serial monogamist since dating her first ex. She told me she wanted to be together but she just needed time to gain trust in me again/be comfortable on her own. Fast forward a few weeks, we had decided I would move out so she could experience being on her own (while we worked on ourselves). When I was over at our apartment a few days ago, I found out that she had had her ex over in our apartment and has been reconnecting with her despite saying multiple times that they were not in communication. They also had sex in our bed. I honestly want nothing to do with her, but I’m so hung up on how quickly she switched her feelings off for me and is now spending time with her ex again. For reference, her and her ex dated on and off for a few years and she has told me in the past they had an unhealthy relationship. I learned that my ex had rebounded pretty quickly to the girl she dated before me (who she dated for about a year). We also got into a relationship pretty quickly after she and her “rebound” broke up. She treated me so well while we were together, and I was never insecure about her having lingering feelings for her ex. We had talked about getting engaged this year (which was partially why I needed space- I felt like things were moving really fast) and now she’s gone back to her first ex. It hurts so much, because I wonder if I ever meant anything to her or if I was just a placeholder until she could be back together with her first love/ex. It felt so real when we were together, but now that I know she’s been stringing me along and using me as a backup in case things don’t work out with her ex, I wonder if I was ever able to compare to her. She has tried to guilt me into saying that none of this would have happened (her and her ex reconnecting) if I hadn’t said I needed space. But I told her it wasn’t fair to blame everything on me, because I have been very honest throughout this entire time about my feelings and have genuinely been trying to make things work. Not only has she lied about being in contact with her ex, but she has been allowing me to think that the reason she hasn’t wanted to sleep togethe be intimate was because she just needed time to “feel comfortable again”. But now I know I was just used.
I’m struggling with the guilt of initiating the space (although I know I needed it, and everyone else in my life agreed) while also trying to grapple with how she did the exact thing I was so scared of her doing. I had told her my ex’s always moved on within weeks and how much it triggered me. I genuinely can’t tell if she is trying to hurt me, or just doesn’t care about me anymore. She’s been generally cold towards me physically, but has been asking me to hang out with her almost daily. She also (I think) has a lot of resentment towards me for a) needing space and b) going on a solo trip. I went to Spain by myself for 2 weeks and ever since I got back, she has been bitter and resentful towards me. I think while I was gone was when she and her ex started talking regularly. So, I can’t tell how she’s feeling. I know she has anger towards me which must mean part of her cares, but I’ve also been consistent about wanting to be with her and have proven it over and over, and she is still choosing her ex over me. I honestly just want to know if their relationship is going to last. I respect myself too much to get back into a relationship with her, but it kills me to know that we could’ve gotten back together and she chose someone she hadn’t been in contact with for four years over our relationship. I’ve been so sick about it all.

We didn’t know it was going to be this hard. Our puppy is almost 4 months old. When does it get easier? We hired a trainer and have been following her directions: teaching the name, playing drop game, saying “come”. But it doesn’t always go well when we train him. I am confused about so many things. For example, is it ok to pull him when he is getting into bad stuff? Our trainer says we need to redirect with toys and treats but he literally doesn’t care if he sees smth interesting. I took him to a park yesterday (not a dog park) and he got a hold of a plastic bag. I tired very hard to get it out, threw treats and said “drop” but he didn’t care. Then I tried to open his mouth but it was too late. My anxiety was so high all night, the vet said we needed to bring him in just in case but thankfully he pooped it out! How how on earth do I keep him away from bad things outside?! People leave trash everywhere. How will he learn to walk nicely on a leash? I have so many questions. What about jumping on the furniture? Our trainer said he needed more space and that he is bored in the pen. So I gated off all the open space and let him walk around today. He jumped on the kids’ art table then on the couch then on the armchair. How do I teach him not to do that? When he sees my girls he chases them and bites them. He is better with my 12-year old son but still jumps and nips him. Why does the trainer suggests to give him more space if he is till not fully potty trained? Today he just peed on the floor after chasing a toy. If he is in the pen he lets us know he needs to go out by barking. But sometimes he barks so much even after going potty. I give him bones to chew on but he threw up after chewing on one today. I give him Kong toys - no interest. What do you suggest? I can’t cook normally because he barks and barks and I have to take him out. Signed up for puppy classes. Some say it’s too late because he is almost 4 months old, is that the case? We are all exhausted and overwhelmed. Our one friend said that they had to give their lab away because he was so much work. This cannot be an option for us but I am just so scared things will not get better. Should we board him? I feel bad about dumping him somewhere for 2 weeks! When do we transition him out of the play pen? How to teach him to sleep on a dog bed? So many questions! My head is spinning.

I’m 21 years old F, I know I’m not the prettiest thing in the world but I would say I’m decently attractive but not so fortunate in life. I feel that life is unfair and the way I get treated by certain people including my family is horrible. I have gone through a lot and was exposed to domestic violence as a child which was persistent throughout my childhood along with being abused by my parents and my older brother. I’m not so sure what really is wrong with me but I know that I have undiagnosed CPTSD which has got me deemed as “dumb” in highschool by scoring low on a IQ test due to my crippling anxiety and not putting in any effort, therefore getting misdiagnosed with mild intellectual disability. I am currently in the process of trying to retake the test due to the problems it has caused me in life. It gets used against me as an adult by my family to gain full control over me and enable me to make my own decisions and even like to tell people that I have the “mind of a child” and they try to ruin my relationships over it and prevent me from having any. They go behind my back and tell people about it and I can notice when those people start to change how they act towards me because of it. I’m now starting to develop more mental issues because of the diagnosis along with the verbal abuse, I’m starting to have anger issues/mood swings and extreme paranoia that others are talking about me behind my back to the point I start to blow up on them and say crucial things. There are times where I think about taking my life because of it.

Hey everybody, this might be a bit of a longer one so bear with me if you don't mind. I just need to explain what happened to me and how I'm feeling in the hopes that someone here can help me make some sense of it.
Content warning/TW: Emotional abuse, gendered slurs, mention of genitalia, violence, death threats, and self-harm/suicide.
For context, I'm a 17 year old male (AMAB) and I am currently going to be a senior in high school come fall this year. Besides of the stress of college applications coming to me in a surge right now, I've also been dealing with the fact that I can have the chance to no longer cover up who it is I really feel that I am inside even if that means risking destroying quite literally almost every bridge I've made in my life up to this point.
I've known since I was a little kid, maybe about 5 or 6 if I had to guess, that I wasn't comfortable being male, or at least exclusively male. I knew better than to tell anyone I knew how I felt, but I managed to express it discreetly under the guise of watching My Little Pony with my cousin because she was lonely or helping cook with the ladies at large family events because I was already good at cooking (which I am, it's one of my favorite things to do and I hope to open a restaurant some day). I was unfortunately not the best at hiding this realization despite my multiple attempts and my parents mistook my understanding of my gender identity for curiosity brought about by "that gay shit" that they saw online. My parents are both very religious and conservative and relied on intimidating me to forbid me from finding out more, but me being a very curious kid with access to the internet, they weren't successful and I consider this the first double-edged sword in my life.
Around this time, which was roughly third grade or so, I'd gotten accepted to a program for talented children and my parents got even stricter on me, pushing me to my limit until about 8th grade which was the end of the program and also the year when we started off remote due to the coronavirus. I'd essentially set on the path of doing what they wanted me to become, and I was subconsciously aware of this, although the silver lining was that I'd became friends with people who also felt concern about their gender identity and sexuality as I had. I'd become a perfect student who was part of multiple different clubs and hung out with different popular guys in my grades and called them my "bros". However, when I was learning remotely at home due to Covid, I read more into gender identity and finding what I really was on the inside. The revelation of it honestly shocked me, and it was so bad that on my third quarter of 8th grade, I'd given up on each of my classes because I'd thought that if I just gave up on who I was, I'd have the chance to start again and live the life that I wanted. I'd resorted to punching myself in the legs and stomach to the point that I passed out in the shower once, but when my report card came in, my parents found out about my grades and went through each of my devices and beat me with a meterstick to try and "whoop my ass into shape".
Fast forward a bit to high school, and again, the same situation presents itself as it did in middle school. I was shoved into classes I wasn't completely ready for each year, partly due to my own fault, but I also got to meet people who'd came out or transitioned in multiple different aspects and it filled me with hope, knowing that I could achieve the same thing one day. I even dated a girl who meant a lot to me since she shed light on what it was like being out and trans in a half-supportive half-cutoff family, and although I never got to explain myself to her, I remain forever grateful since she's still here for me now that I'm trying to transition and she's offered me all sorts of help.
But now that brings us to the current present, and I guess I should try and make things a bit more concise so that you all don't have to read a whole novel from me. In the 10th grade, when I went on vacation with my parents and my cousin (who was the one I used to watch My Little Pony with), I got verbally abused and yelled at in public at Universal in Florida because I'd had bought pink pygmy puff slippers from the Harry Potter merch store. To me, they were just a neat little thing that I could use, but to my parents, it was about the most vile thing that I could've suggested apart from not wanting to date someone they'd arranged for me. After returning the slippers, me and my father refused to talk to each other until I was forced to apologize to him at dinner because my mother made me. The fact that I apologized to him still sickens me on the inside.
And fast forward a bit more to this past December, when I'd contracted the flu and got so sick that I literally could not stand and see. Of course, I'd gotten it from my dad and while I was sick and downstairs when he was trying to take care of me, I'd fallen asleep and was abruptly woken up when he yelled "you fucking faggot!" at the tv over a football game. A few weeks after this, while we were on a large family vacation in the mountains, he (in public at the airport mind you) again called multiple people a faggot behind their backs. And then even more recently in February at a robotics competition I was at, we saw someone who visually appeared male or nonbinary but was wearing a bright pink tutu as it was a part of their team's mascot, and my mom and dad both tried to test the waters at home by mentioning it and that it was weird, but I shut them down immediately and told them that they need to have more respect, which they didn't like. These multiple instances over the last half year alone sicken me to my stomach because what if it were me? Does my dad know that his kid, who has wanted to be accepted for so long, has to listen to him say the worst stuff imaginable to people behind their backs? That the same people he wants his kid to also hate are the people that his kid wants to identify with and join their community?
Now comes today, where I sit here writing this wondering what I should do. I've wanted to come out so badly these last 12 to 13 years, and it's bothering me so much that I found two people who I could trust and told them, and they are gladly very accepting of me and want to help me be who I want to be. My parents hold a lot of wealth and are clearly very investigative of me now, wanting to make sure that if they do part with any of their wealth and give it to me in any manner, they're not giving it to someone who has values opposite of their own. This includes my first car, my money for college, money that they've been saving for their "son" since the day he was born.
Am I really trans, and I'm not just telling myself this because I hate what my parents made me go through as a kid and the complete amount of negligence that they showed me over the years, from missing and ignoring multiple of my birthdays to complete excruciating mental and physical pain because my grades weren't all above 94 or because I hadn't done my absolute best in everything put in front of me? I don't even know what to think anymore since this has been bothering me so bad lately to the point that I can't concentrate on anything or talk to anyone except close friends.
For my gender identity, I know that I definitely lean feminine and nonbinary, but I don't feel dysphoria from things like my current male genitalia or my rather deep voice, which is one of the things that I cherish. However, I feel sick looking at myself in the mirror and seeing facial hair, fades and comb overs, and body hair and rough skin. I know these are things that I would change in a heartbeat if I could.
I just.. I'm not sure what I should do. Do I come out, and risk being abandoned. unsupported, or even beaten or straight up killed because of who I am? Or do I shut myself in and struggle for another year before I'm free to go to college, but without no support at all? Or do I just not come out at all and live the clearly lavish life that is there for me to take, completely sealing away the feminine life I've wanted for so long?
For those who think that being killed is harsh or unimaginable for coming out, my parents, more specifically my dad, have mentioned that from where they are from, it was common to exile and even beat or kill those who were queer. I mean it when I say that doing the wrong thing here could very well be the end of my life, and I just want to know how I can get away from this hellhole that I live in and cut off these god forsaken people who've influenced my life arguably more worse than they have better. They are also the kind of people to own weapons such as firearms, legally or not, and not tell anyone, even their own kid and other son included. They are also the kind of person to search literally anything I may have, whether physically or digitally, and I've caught them snooping around in my closet and accessing my laptop and phone while I was dead asleep. Safe to say I fear for my life.
I just need some guidance, if any, on what I should do. I really do have a shot at some of the best colleges in the US (Berkeley, Duke, etc..) but all this has driven me to the point that I'm wondering if I should just give up and let someone else have the opportunity because it's wasted on me.
Again, apologies for the long-ass post, I just need some help. Any input or response here would be greatly appreciated since I'll take any guidance at this point.

My husband (33M) and I (32F) have been together 11 years and married for 9 years this June. Throughout our entire relationship up until about the 9th year I regularly caught my husband actively pursuing other people on dating sites and social media. One of these women was his ex girlfriend from high school. I caught them on several occasions having private conversations. Eventually his final explanation for that was “you don’t forget the love of your life.” Those were his exact words. He still claims he intended to say “your first love” but that’s not what he said and I’ll never forget it.
I am not trying to flex but I’m an attractive woman, even through three pregnancies I maintained my figure and didn’t get any stretch or extra skin. Not that these things aren’t beautiful but it’s not like I even changed over the years. I look almost exactly the same but better. That being said, his ex girlfriend is beautiful too and looks nothing like me. She’s really tan, dark brown hair, and very athletic (muscular) with no boobs or butt. I’m only 110 lbs but I have curves where most men prefer them, I have blonde hair, I’m fair skinned and I have freckles. Don’t get me wrong, I love how I look, I really love my body and I would choose my looks over hers, but I look nothing like her and that’s what he wants. So even though I’m not insecure about how I see me, I’m extremely insecure about how he sees me.
Through years of this I never left him because I never caught him actually verbally or physically taking the dive to meet up with anyone. Just toying with the idea. It finally came to a head around the 9th year and I left him. I had every intention of staying away until I found out I was pregnant with our third child… this made it 10000x trickier.
He found out I was pregnant and begged for me to take him back. Swearing that he had never slept with anyone else and never actually wanted to, even while we were separated and since then I haven’t caught him doing anything close to what he used to. But he still constantly looks at porn and lies about it, he looks up very sexual asmr chicks (the ones who lick and kiss the microphone), gamer girls, ex girlfriends (not the “love of his life”), and other attractive women. When am I allowed to have a hurt ego? When am I allowed to accept one of the dozens of offers I get from men weekly so someone can stroke my ego? When is it ok for me to get upset that he’s putting all that sexual energy into people on the internet but barely looks at me? When am I allowed to have a man make me feel like the prize instead of the leftovers? It does hurt my feelings because he’s already proven that his mind wanders whether he’s still acting on it or not. He’s always made me feel unattractive (to him) meanwhile I’m constantly shooting down advances from other men. But if I tell him this or forbid it it’ll just make me seem controlling rather than setting boundaries and it’s not like I can force him to see me by forcing him not to look at other women. But when I tell him it kills my pride as a woman and a wife to see that he tells me I’m dumb. So I have to put up with it or leave?

Okay, so.....for starters, I am an 18 year old female, I have been very sheltered and homeschooled so I am not very knowledgeable when it come to ANYTHING that isn't school or religion based. anywho, I'm slightly confused on what I feel, like when I was 14 I cut all my hair off and wore multiple bras to try to make my boobs smaller. And (THIS MAY BE NSFW) but ever since I started m@sterbating I have pictured myself as a guy and shit (I won't go into too much detail unless someone asks fot it lol) and at one point I DID make myself look more masc and some people mistook me for a boy, but my family said it was weird and everyone said that they like when I look more femme so I do now.....but when I see a hot guy I think one of 2 things "GAH DAYUM HES HOT!" Or "I wish I was him". So, am I weird or do other girls think like that too and I'm just dumb? XD

BIO: 2023 Federal taxes/Louisiana/Single/54/Male/No dependents/i do my own taxes and never had a problem/employed/not a biz owner and no side gigs other than stock market/I itemized deductions/filed all required schedule forms and all tax calculation forms/I filed on irs.gov website free fillable forms which is all automated calculations.
2023 TAX INFO: I paid $82,990 in federal taxes on a combo of payroll income and stock profits. I NEVER pay taxes quarterly, ever. Taxes owed for 2023: 97,821…taxes withheld 14,831…for stock taxes i used the proper tax calculation sheets and table…In the end I had a tax payment of 82,990. I grossed $500,003 for 2023…$103,000 was from my payroll income from my job and the rest was selling of short term and long term stock gains and also a few weekly option sales here and there. I have never made that much before in my life in the market and will never again. 2023 was an anomaly for me in the stock market.
STORY: So the other day I get a CP30 tax notice saying i am being penalized for $678 with the explanation in the letter “When you dont pay enough taxes due for the year with your quarterly estimated tax payments and you dont have enough withholding, we charge a penalty for not properly estimating your taxes.”
This notice document has 5 entries with “to” and “from” dates. Here is one example, which is the first line entry:
From date 4-15-23 to date 6-15-23……61 days…..7% rate….0.00019178 factor…..$6,801.66 principal…….$79.57 Penalty
So thats the first line..the next 3 lines below it are all from 2023 also with the last “to” date being 9-20-23. The very last entry line is for 2024, 2-15-24 to 4-12-24 with a principal of $27,206.64 and a penalty of $338.97.
All 5 lines penalty’s equal $678.12
My questions are as follows(and yes, i did call irs three times in last 48hrs and no one has been able to explain why i got this letter or answer any of my questions..i keep getting transfered to another department and im in the que for anotjer call back in an hour)
1 - I have never set up or applied to pay my taxes quarterly so how in the world am I, according to this notice, set up for quarterly payments?
2 - How can I be penalized for all of 2023 when I never set up to pay quarterly?
3 - How can I be penalized and never be notified throughout the year of 2023 OR 2024 until now in mid may 2024?
4 - Where is the IRS getting the “Principal” numbers I list above?
5 - If i dont pay my taxes till tax due date, how is the IRS calculating taxes I owe quarterly for the previous year?
6 - Why have I never gotten one of these CP30 letters in my entire life?
7 - Isnt the very last line (37) of 1040 take into consideration all the taxes I owe from payroll and stocks? Meaning if i didnt pay enough of payroll taxes, that will be revealed in line 37, correct? And in this case i had a tax payment, between payroll and stocks, $82,990 which i paid in full 4-12-24.
8 - If i didnt have enough tax withheld in my payroll tax, wouldnt that all be eventually calculated on the 1040 form line 37? (I did calculate my tax on line 16 properly)
9 - If i never set up quarterly payments, then how can the IRS calculate a penalty 4 times in 2023 and one time in 2024???
Thank you for your time to read all of this…im very confused over all of it.

I feel so lost and confused. I’m a ftm and I have no idea what I’m doing. I know babies can’t regulate their body temperature until 1.5-2 years old. And I heard the saying “cold babies cry, hot babies die” so I keep my house at 69 - 74 degrees Fahrenheit. Every time I try to take my daughter out I hear that stupid phrase over and over in my head. We’ve been inside the house for a month. I want to take my girl outside and on walks but I don’t know what to dress her in! She needs to be covered one layer in a hat, long sleeves, and pants? But won’t she be too hot? She just wears a like a short sleeve onesie inside? But she’s always in my arms so she regulates through my body temperature right? Her temperature stays at 98 so I know she’s not cold or too hot. But if I put her in the cutsie shorts and spaghetti strap outfits I have to go outside then won’t she burn because she doesn’t have melanin in her skin yet? Why do they even make those outfits if she has to be completely covered from the sun? Any help is appreciated. I feel like I’m starting to lose it in this house.

1. Belly fat is out of control, at least 15 pounds gained there, plus an extra 10 everywhere else.
2. Hair texture has changed, breaking off and falling out. I am a hairstylist and have seen this, but no answers and I am on minoxidil, but it’s only been 8 weeks.
3. I sleep about 4 hours a night, not consecutively.
4. Hot, Hot flashes🔥
5. I can either be extremely mean or don’t give a shit
6. Had a breast cancer scare, but all good, going for my 6 month ultra sound in a few days and thinking HRT will be the answer but can’t find a DR to prescribe…. I’m in southeast Michigan I just want to be back to my 40-48 year old self … turning 51 this year

So I am beginning my internship at a university here shortly, and I’m very excited about it! With that said, I do have a concern I am wondering if anyone else has had to address.
The people in my program completely abuse the word “like” when they speak and I have come to struggle so much with it that sometimes I will focus so heavily on it that I don’t completely understand what they’re trying to say. I’m talking 20-30 usages of the word in a 5-6 sentence span. Being that my clients will be 19-23 years old, if it’s this bad among 28-35 year olds, I reckon the problem will be tenfold among university students of a younger age.
I know that this is a “me” problem, and while coming up in a household that used a lot of colorful vocabulary and placed an emphasis on articulation is a blessing, in this way, I feel it is a bit of a curse and distraction. Is this something other therapists struggle with? What tools do you use to fight through those moments when your brain goes fixation mode and takes you out of the moment

A few years ago Kenzie did a series of TikToks where she teased unreleased songs entitled “206” & “Emily” like Dylan and Kenzie were super close and referred to each other as “best friends” and always doing everything together. Something happened between Austin & Dylan like this was after Dylan moved back to her hometown Gilroy, CA. Austin was on IG live and the comments were about Dylan and he just got super uncomfortable and ended the live. I could be reaching because i know people get older and grow apart but like the way they just disappeared from each other’s lives after being together for so long. Dylan moved in with Skylar, her now ex boyfriend and Austin in an apartment then she moved back to her hometown and only comes to LA for work like she doesn’t say “hey I’m going to LA for work and to visit some old friends” maybe it because they’re so busy with their schedules keeping them from hanging out but I’ll always support each and everyone of them. Emily barely uploads IG posts on her page I think it’s because she wants to live in the moment and be in real time. I can’t wait for her to do more acting she’s hung out way more with this girl named Lily Keene & my fav pink girl Lilia Buckingham. I know that they’re all grown and don’t have to answer to us not that i expect them to but it’s just crazy to me how they all just vanished from each others lives like in a heart beat. I think after Kenzie & Maddie’s old resurfaced clips of them doing blackface and all of those terrible and disgusting things they did resurfaced many and many of their friends distanced themselves and stopped talking to them publicly and privately as well.

Osana Najimi: When Osana and Taro were in Middle School (7th grade) Osana’s classmate had a crush on Taro, and was planning to confess to him at a playground.
Osana fakes a note pretending to be Taro to meet with her classmate at the top of the slide. Osana would then confront the girl about Taro, angrily and with jealousy.
As they bicker back and forth, the girl tells something to Osana that causes her to be blinded by anger, and push her off of the slide, spraining the girl’s ankle.
However, due to Osana’s popularity, and the girl’s low reputation, she was called a liar for trying to expose Osana. Osana regrets this, and tries to bury it deep down into her mind.
Amai Odayaka: A male student at Akademi cyberbullied Amai, and review bombed her family’s bakery in incognito. He went for a while without anyone knowing who it was.
But, she overheard a male student bragging to his friends about something, and she realized that he was talking about his troll account that was harassing Amai and her family.
Once Amai found out, she was blinded by anger, and decided to put rat poison in one of the strawberry cupcakes. When passing them out in class, she made sure to give the boy the tainted cupcake
At lunch, the boy ended up throwing up violently. After hearing about his misfortune, Amai realized that what she did was a little too far. She deeply regrets this, and wants to forget about it.
Kizana Sunobu: She purposely sabotages her female club members so that she could get the lead parts. If sabotage doesn’t work, she bullies and embarrasses the girls into giving her the lead role.
This means yelling at them during rehearsal, crap talking about them to male club members, and ruining their reputation by gossiping. Once, the bullying got so bad, a girl left the club, and soon after, Akademi itself.
Oka Ruto: Oka was obsessed with a boy from her old school, one that resembled Taro. She stalked him for weeks, until she heard a conversation with him and his friend about moving away to Canada. Scared she would lose her love, Oka made a love potion, attempting to sway her crush into her arms.
(Just saying, her love potion wasn’t bubbly pink like cartoons. It contained things like period blood, hair, saliva, etc.) When her crush wasn’t looking, Oka slips the potion into his bento. The boy ended up with a stomach virus that caused him to be rushed to the ER.
Asu Rito: After losing a swimming competition, Asu‘s coach threatens to kick her off the heavy leagues unless she can pull her weight on the team.
Hearing her coach’s words, she becomes unhealthily obsessed with winning, and gaining the strength she needs to exceed the expectations of her coach.
She ends up purchasing a huge dose of illegal steroids, which ended up giving her a temporary adrenaline boost.
She won her next swimming contest, gaining a trophy, and her coach’s upmost respect. However, she knows deep down that her opponent should have won, and regrets her decision.

The main building pipe is clogged and has been a nuisance for years causing sink backups for multiple units. The HOA now wants to replace the pipe but in order to do that they have to break thru my kitchen floor and cabinets. They said they will pay for the pipe replacement but I will be responsible for paying to fix/replace my kitchen flooring and cabinets. I have condo insurance so I'm hoping they cover it? I looked at the policy documents.
It says the following Personal property - $20k less deductible of $1k Dwelling - $16350 less deductible of $1k Loss of Use - $8k per occurrence Loss assessment $1k per occurrence Personal liability $300k per occurrence Medical payment $1000 per occurrence
It says these are included: Personal property replacement cost Loss free credit Water backup of sewers or drain coverage limit $2500 Additional coverages, deductible and/or fees All other perils deductible is $1k
Is this something likely that will be covered? Do I call my insurance company and just tell them everything? I just hear about horror stories dealing with insurance companies so feeling really anxious about this and don't have anyone in RL to give me advice.
Thank you
