Cancer quotes for tattoos

Always been a fan of the series. Thinking about getting a tattoo, possibly a quote that is in captured in a picture. Any ideas on what quotes would look good? I was thinking the sparrow flies south for winter, but wanted other ideas before settling....

Hey, I'm M16 and was just showering and had a thought about getting a tattoo after surviving cancer last year, I obviously don't have any tattoos right now, and haven't really had any plans to get one, but now I just had the thought about getting one after all this.
Tbh idk if I just had a shit though or if it is something common, idk, it is just a thought I had and wanted to get some options on.
(I obviously know that a tattoo at 16 is pretty unrealistic)
I also will go to sleep now, so pls don't expect an answer for like the next 8h, thx 😊

As already outlined in this post, MRNA has no value proposition at the current levels. I believe it is still about $30 billion over valued.
The reasons why people bought MRNA and why they are invalid:

• H5N1 - people bought it as a "covid play" - MRNA went up and created the second global multi-billion injection dose during a pandemic. Now people are saying it will be similar for H5N1, of course that is wrong:
  • There are already approved vaccines, CSL in australia has one, Sanofi has one, GSK, and there is a newer gen one as well.
• AI - for some reason people have been quoting MRNA is an AI play, probably because this headline.
  • This is so incredibly stupid. This is basically a press release saying MRNA has a commercial license to use chatGPT. Did anyone actually read the article? Who fcking cares! Further, its not material to the science, mRNA technology doesn't need ai, its literally just sequences of RNA... there isn't anywhere to fit ai that would improve success here. Just a stupid thesis all around.
• COVID
  • Just, really? Use your brain. Nobody cares about covid and sales have gone into the gutter. Covid lethality has become less than the flu, there is no more government stockpiling needed.
• Cancer vaccine
  • They aren't getting accelerated approval, they need to run a huge and lengthy Phase 3 trial. It will be 3 years before we learn that it probably failed. In the meantime, they will burn the remaining cash they have and likely have to dilute.
• ??? Meme stock?
  • I have no idea any other reason you would buy MRNA above $20 billion dollars. They are going to run out of cash in 2 years at the current burn rate, and have a huge litigation that they are the trajectory of losing with ABUS.

Good luck to all! Except MRNA bulls, you need a higher IQ.

Hey guys! Finally starting a sleeve I've been thinking about for about 10 years now. I'd like to make the process as smooth as possible for both me and the artist.
What do you guys have as far as recomendations go for my first session this weekend? Artist quoted me for a good 6 hours or so. Pre-tattoo tips, post-tattoo tips, what should I bring, etc. are all appreciated. I'm currently rubbing the area with cerave moisturizer every day.

Hi all, I just need to share with someone about how I feel. (Not Diagnosed for H.pylori but my experience suspecting)
For the last 6-8 months I noticed my stomach has felt tight, a lot of pressure under my ribs it feels like I've eaten 20 massive meals in one go even if all I manage to eat is a yoghurt or a protein bar. Dealing wit constant nausea, dizziness and feeling light headed in major waves. Ive been suffering with nausea since I was 16 and im 22 now.
Started off with bloating and then the sudden and constant burping started, thought it was reflux or indigestion as my partner suffered from chronic reflux.
I got assessed, doctor assumed it was stomach ulcer and gave me tablets go treat it, said it could be H.pylori but because of my age it's "isn't likely" sent me to get blood tests and ultrasounds done.
The antibiotics didn't help, they provided a little. It of relief but it felt worse after the treatment. Ultra sound showed nothing and the blood test that were ordered they didn't even bother to test for it despite it being requested.
Getting worse now, wake up and first thing in the morning im nauseas, throwing up nearly everyday, constant fatigue, muscle weakness, i can't eat my heart constantly palpatates, I can't walk in a straight line some days I get such bad vertigo. Last few days is constant headaches, sometimes I can't keep water down, I can't focus, I get so sick I can't go to work or I have to go home and its horrendous.
I'm so scared I'm going to lose my job because I've been so chronically sick these last few weeks and months because it's been so debilitating.
Took myself to the hospital the other day because the nausea and headaches and vertigo and the tension in my stomach was so bad my ribs hurt, I felt like I couldn't breathe my heart was racing. I hate going to the hospital but I was so desperate I needed help.
The doctor who was assigned to me didn't even bother trying to help me. I felt so weak I was falling in and out of conciousness I felt like I was going to vomit or fai nt in the bed.
Didn't feel my stomach, didn't do any tests, described all my symptoms and just kept dismissing me saying it was because I have stress and that it's "just reflux" he said to me and I quote: " it could he H.pylori, but it sounds like you just have reflux, because it's been constant for to long we can't help you. I'm to busy"
Gave me reflux medication and kicked me out. I cried in the car on the way home.
Had to go home tonight from work because I felt so sick I thought I was going to pass out, Been having fevers and chills, sweating, headaches.
I've always struggled with gaining weight, mainly due to living with a severe mental health disorder and partly due to my parents relationship with food when I was growing up has formed very terrible and potentionally life threatening habits.
I'm losing so much weight I'm nervous that if I don't grt treated soon not only will it get worse but im going to end up in a ward with feeding tubed down my throat.
I've dropped so much weight that I'm now sitting at 46kg, dropping 5kg overnight, (22yrs, Male, 173cm in height)
I broke down and cried again today, the sickness is getting so much, it's destroying my life it's ruining my work, it's causing me so much anxiety and even more stress.
I can't eat, I have no desire to, the thought of eating stresses, it makes me feel sick. Nothing is appetising and I judt Don't feel hungry anymore.
I feel lost, I dont know what to do. The doctor I see flies interstate once a month (I see them cause I need certain medication) and every other doctor in my city is either not taking new patients or the waiting times to see a doctor as a new patient are around 2 months.
I can't keep living like this it's hell. It's hell being told it's just anxiety and stress, it's hell being told "it could be cancerous, but i really think it's just reflux" I'm tired of feeling guilty and stressed about being so sick I have to miss work or go home early and then spend more money and even more stress trying to organise a medical certificate for work.
I've probably spent around $350+ in medical certificates for work just because of this bacterial infection. Not including the constant repeats and refills for nausea tablets because doctors only every give me a maximum of 10 tablets at a time and some days are so bad I need 2-3 just to get some relief from the constant nausea and dizziness.

Hey y’all!
So my man is finishing OCS soon and I’m going to the formal. I’m wondering if having my tattoos exposed would be considered inappropriate as far as my dress is concerned.
I have a full sleeve of Norwegian mythology, some runes on my back, a mountain on my back, and a quote about courage on my back.
None of them are in any way offensive, derogatory, inappropriate, etc etc images by any means and they’re all tastefully done.
I can cover the back of course, but will I need to cover the sleeve? Thanks for any input!

(Only Europe, Please) - short note - If you're not into reading or receiving long messages,don't read any further + Please If you don't want to read everything because of my post being too long for you & instead of reading It all - ..skip some parts - find another person to talk to.Let's respect each other and our free time. All people criticizing/making fun of me & other people - will be blocked.Pretty much as people questioning my post and giving me unsolicited advice.I'm not here for any conflicts and I know I can't please everyone - I know I never will.. However It's me who should feel comfortable in my new potential friendship & obviously someone who wants to be my friend - not the whole world.. which is why I don't need any advice from people who don't even want to be a part of my life. The amount of rude people on Reddit always criticizing others and making fun of them is unbelievably high but let me tell you something - NEVER let anyone make choices for you and criticize you only because you're different! Always fight for your dreams and never let anyone make you think you're worthless! It's your life and you're the one deciding what's best for you - If you want to judge me despite not even wanting to talk to me or give me advice better block me! I'm an adult woman and I make all decisions on my own.I'm not trying to "fit in" and be like everyone else - just to get more attention.Accept me for who I am or let go - is my motto.

Hello guys! 🙂 (read everything before you decide to send me a message) Please send me a message ONLY If you're in the same situation and If your expectations are the same as mine.I want to find like minded people from Europe (Why Europe? Read my post to find out) I'm looking for something permanent (remember - you can feel lonely even If you're surrounded by others - If there's no emotional bond) I'm fed up of meeting people who never make time for me & only text me once or twice a week to ask me "what are you up to?" Out of boredom.I don't want to meet people asking others a million of questions like "what's your favorite movie?" Just to give them one word answer and ask them another question "and music? Your favorite song?" I'm looking for something "deeper" & different 🙂
★
🤍
What kind of friend would I like to find? Someone to talk to on a daily basis - Someone who needs It & wants It just as much as me
🤍
What are my expectations? I would like to meet someone in a similar situation – why? Because I honestly feel like only a person with the same expectations and a similar outlook on life would get along with me & because I feel more comfortable talking to people like me..Friendless people who need a strong bond - people without friends and partners.. Don't get me wrong…Most people deserve to be happy and It's good to have friends but people who have friends or families in real life are usually more focused on them (which is completely understandable) & have less time for others + I simply don't want to be replaced by anyone..I kind of envy people who can call others , true friends given I don't have an emotional bond with any of my acquaintances. Please send me a message only If you're not In a relationship and don't have friends for the same reasons I've already mentioned before
★
🤍
Whenever I hear that others have friends I simply get sad because (believe it or not) If I had to choose between 20 people to talk to (acquaintances) and one special person - I'd choose that one special person without any hesitation .
★
🤍
I also want to talk to others every day because..I want to see someone’s effort & be someone's first choice - not another person to have random conversations with..some people ask me "Why do you want to talk to people from Europe?" Well..Because I would like to see someone I'd get along with - In the far future - face to face :) + I don't want to wait any longer than 6 hours to receive a message - waiting 6 hours to receive a message is more than enough
★
🤍
I'm by no means criticizing people who don't want to talk to others often / People who really are super busy & People who want to find someone to have unimportant conversations with - I'm aware that not everyone has the same expectations which is why everything you're reading now - is here for a reason :) All I'm suggesting is - I don't want anything temporary and I don't want to be the one always giving more than receiving.Listen people - I used to ignore being..ignored by others..always being just an option to talk to during tough times or moments of boredom.I was too young to realize that I was never important enough for most people that were a part of my life. I don't know who needs to hear this but..No one is too busy to make time for you! People make excuses to avoid others because they prioritize everything and (maybe) everyone..over them. It's true that most people are busy - but It takes only a few seconds to start a conversation (If you're into short messages) and a few minutes (1-10/15) to type a long message . Don't let anyone lie to you.
★
🤍
Truth is that most people either don't like you enough to make time for you or just simply - feel no need to talk to others often but are they too busy? No..You don't need to send me a message just to ask me and tell me "Do you really want to talk every day? I like long messages but I can't promise to contact you often" If you really are unsure please don't send me a message.I don't need more acquaintances aka people to talk to - occasionally.
🤍
I'm not trying to sound rude but conversations once or twice a week wouldn't be enough for me and I don't need them... Let me tell you one thing – A true friend would never just give up on you for no reason :) It’s always possible to find someone to have a random conversation with – someone willing to send you one message once or twice a week..but..It’s almost impossible to find people willing to make more time for you.
★
🤍
I’m not asking a busy person to make time for me by changing some plans! Absolutely not! I’m here to find someone who wants to talk daily (throughout the day or maybe even night) of one’s own will.Someone looking for the same kind of connection.Strong friendships are based on mutual support. One of the best things you can do for a friend in need, is just to be there for them when they want to talk.I often see posts from people who always say how friendless they are because they don't feel loved or appreciated by their "friends" remember! A true friend - someone who truly likes you or someone who wants to get to know you - will always find time for you.
★
🤍
I'm not interested in small talk/short messages - I love long and meaningful conversations. It's so easy to find someone who loves abbreviations and questions like "How are you?" How was your day? Or what are you interested in? But so hard/almost impossible to find a person who knows how to keep a conversation going & show others some effort.Building and maintaining friendships takes time and effort.Never allow pursuits or possessions to become bigger priorities than your relations with other people.Close friendships are so important to us because they are so difficult to form + Having friends can help you feel as if you belong to something that brings purpose and connection to your life
🤍
• I do NOT respond to any „Hey,hmu” or „u want to talk?” type of messages (super short messages or messages full of abbreviations – I literally can’t stand abbreviations and acronyms in text messages) ALL messages full of abbreviations will immediately be ignored.I also don't like it when people ignore everything I say in private messages just to focus on a random question or? When they start talking only about themselves and don't ever ask me anything. I love conversations with people referring to everything I say...I want everything I say and do - to be reciprocated
🤍
• No NSFW profiles (checking mental health subreddits NOT included as I'm a huge empath and always try to understand others) - Please! I'm not looking for anyone to flirt with and I'm not looking for a partner either. I always check people's profiles (even comment history) - To avoid guys, trying to get inappropriate pictures from adult women or? flirt with them + I don't want to see you with no clothes on so If you're on Reddit only because you want others to see what's underneath your clothes - I'm not for you! I just simply don't want to see any s e x related activity on your profile If you want to talk to me.
🤍
• If both of us (you and I) are from the same country (I live in a non-English speaking country) - I want to communicate with you in our first language! No - Not because I don't understand English - because as you see - I do. Why then? English is simply overrated and people don't appreciate other languages as much as they should. So.. If we're from the same country and you want to talk only in English (which is quite common on reddit) - Talk to someone else. I just don't want to talk to a person from the same country as mine - in a foreign language as It's just something I don't understand even If all you want is to improve your language skills
🤍
• Please only adult people 18-36 (age range) It doesn't matter to me If you're younger or older than me (as long as you're not underage) So.. don't worry! I just want to have discussions with emotionally mature people :)
🤍
• I don’t respond to messages I don’t find interesting even If they're long - If after receiving and reading your message I don't feel comfortable or think "I wouldn't get along with him/her" I simply do not respond (what I’m suggesting is that I don’t always respond to someone’s first or second message because..sometimes you just know If you’d get along with someone or not- I’d never ignore anyone after days or weeks of daily conversations though) just because I don’t want to do anything forcefully & because I don’t want to lead anyone on. I read all messages but I definitely don't respond to all of them! I want to make it clear because I don't want to be accused of not responding and not reading people's messages! - Some people don't message me back as well and even If It's a bit disappointing I'm ok with that! - as long as there's no emotional bond - Not responding to someone's first or second message Is completely OK! If people think they wouldn't get along with a stranger - is there a reason to start a conversation? I don't think so. I can't stand being ignored after days or weeks of daily conversations and seeing people changing priorities over time.. but that's something different - something I don't want to go through ever again for real. If I'm really interested in someone's message it's impossible to hear from me "I'm too busy" because I know myself and If I had no time for others - I wouldn't be here. I don't want to pretend someone I'm not and always try to find some cheap excuses to avoid others. (unlike most people who don't want to talk to others)
🤍
• Don’t ask me “Can you tell me something about yourself?” If you really want to get to know me - you can ask me questions :) I'm an open book.
🤍
• It would be better If you guys were into emojis - like me - to describe your emotions In text messages. Two emojis - 🙂 and 🙁 are completely enough! I just don't like emotionless conversations.I also don't like it when people say "yeah" or yea"as it sounds dismissively. First impression Is everything to me! I want to see your kindness even in a text message - Emojis are very helpful to express your emotions.I don't want to meet people who say "crying Is a weakness" - It's OK to cry even If you're a guy!
🤍
• I want to talk on reddit first (just to make sure If I'd get along with you) before moving to Discord or some other app
🤍
• I would rather talk to a homebody - not another person who always has something to do as people who are very busy don't even have time for daily conversations
🤍
• If you're another person interested only in "childish conversations" such as "HEYOOO! I'M BORED! Ya like Pizza or cheese? xDDDD 🤣" I'm begging you! Don't send me a message.I'm not a child anymore and such messages don't make me smile or laugh.I'm looking for someone interested In serious discussions - not another person just seeking some entertainment out of boredom . Conversations with sarcastic undertones (even when It comes to some emojis such as 🤣😂) are not for me. Your typing style matters to me! Why? when It comes to online conversations with someone new - It's not always possible to know If someone Is laughing at you.. or with you. Let me tell you something else! Jokes about cancer, disabilities and death are UNACCEPTABLE to me. If you find joy In someone else's misfortune you are not a person I want to know.
🤍
• Time response matters to me a lot! I would never ask anyone to be online all day long and I'm NOT asking any of you for any instant messaging as I'm someone who would rather wait an hour or two to receive a proper response instead of some short and pointless messages but I'm interested only in daily conversations and I don't want to wait any longer than 6 hours to get a message from you.I don't need unbelievably long messages either! Messages as long as the second paragraph of my post - are completely enough. If you like longer messages? you can send me a longer message, but If you want to send me one word or one sentence as a response to my post - don't expect a reaction from me. I don't want to come across as rude - I just don't want to waste your time
🤍
• I'm strongly AGAINST picking on people you don't even want to chat with - and making fun of them! I can't stand people who criticize others publicly or make fun of them! (only because they disagree with someone they don't even know) There's no place In my life for someone using Reddit, to hurt other people
🤍
• I'm not into foul language and I definitely don't want to talk to people who swear a lot...
🤍
• I want to meet assertive people who know what they want and always stand up for their friends
🤍
• I want to meet someone willing to call me In the future, someone spontaneously sending me pictures of animals or food, et cetera. I want more than just text conversations.. 🌻
🤍
Why can’t you see any of my hobbies listed down below? Because what really matters to me is..who you are (If you’re honest, talkative ,understanding, caring and trustworthy – for example) just simply – It matters to me what you’re like! not what you like.Don’t get me wrong – you can tell me what your hobbies are but from my point of view - people's hobbies are important - If you want to find a gaming buddy or If you want to meet someone to hang out with in real life and..go bowling for example.What most people seem to care about are other people's passions – I don’t. I get along with other people despite having completely different hobbies but I absolutely don’t get along with people way different than me (different expectations and outlook on life – way different sense of humor or personality traits – It’s just an example) It doesn't make ANY DIFFERENCE to me If you're a gamer or? Someone interested in photography! It doesn't make any difference - > as long as you're talkative and kind and If you also want to find someone willing to stay in your life..for good - But If you're into small talk and all you want is to...type and receive super short messages or If you're here only because you're bored and don't know what to do + If you're a very sarcastic person - I'm definitely not for you! I don't get along with overly sarcastic people turning everything into a joke. Friendships should be natural – not forced. I wouldn't get along with people who laugh at everything.. In my opinion most people are way too sarcastic.. It's quite sad... Sarcasm can also be another form of passive-aggressive behavior.
★
🤍
People who want to be to friends should feel comfortable and have something in common. No - not necessarily a similar taste in music or movies but something else..Most friendships don't fizzle out because of people not having the same hobbies but..because they just simply have different expectations when It comes to something important.I'm not here out of boredom and trust me - I'm not here to meet as many people as possible.I choose quality over quantity.I highly value myself and my time & Sometimes one person but a person who makes you feel comfortable and understood - is more than enough :) We ALL can choose what kind of people we’d like to talk to and maybe even become really good friends with and I? I don’t want anyone to be disappointed.We all have some expectations after all.I know that people don't have to talk as often as possible in order to become friends but I'm interested only in daily conversations. If you really need someone to talk to due to loneliness and If you have time to talk to me daily (throughout the day and maybe even night) I always make time for others.I'm literally always available.I could even stay up all night long only to talk to someone important to me. I’m ready to commit but only If there’s some chemistry between me and someone else.I don’t do anything forcefully.
★
🤍
If you want to talk to me tell me your story - tell me why you're here, what kind of friend would you like to meet :) Et cetera.Such messages are way more interesting to me than...someone's long list of hobbies. I know! It's unusual on reddit but I don't make friends based on hobbies..I want to meet someone with the same mindset as mine to finally feel understood and get close to someone new. You can share your problems with me - I absolutely don't mind "complaining" as I've been through a lot in my life.What do people usually tell you when you tell them that something's wrong? "Don't complain" or "Life's not over yet - one day you'll be happy" or "There are worse situations than yours" and..obviously "Find a therapist" Life's not a fairytale and sometimes things don't go as planned.Emotions shouldn't be bottled up.I'm sick of people always telling others "everything's gonna be ok" move on " & more..Trust me people - not everyone wants to hear "Just believe in yourself and everything's gonna be ok" Some people take it as reassurance - but others? They would rather hear something different 🙁Imagine being told that things will be okay, only for them to get worse..Do you guys know why telling someone "everything's gonna be ok" Is wrong? Because you can't see the future.
★
🤍
You can't guarantee others that one day they'll finally be happy + when It comes to social interactions - We're responsible only for ourselves - not others & as you guys know people let us down quite often (sometimes even when there's no reason) so instead of telling people how they should move on, forget everything and be happy or asking them to find a therapist - be there for them! Always be willing to listen to them If you really like them or want to get to know them & don't suggest everyone in a tough situation to find a therapist because even the best therapist won't ever replace a true friend + It's quite normal to be disappointed If people always do something to hurt you. Sharing your hardships with other people in a very similar situation or exactly the same one - is VERY helpful If the other person understands you & wants to start all over by just letting it all out! Feeling emotional support instead of always hearing some "positive quotes" or someone saying "Stop complaining let's talk about something else - Is very important! "Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on. I appreciate sensitive people who always try to understand others. If after hearing a sad story all you want to say is "forget the past and move on" you're not for me. It's important to be a good listener and provide emotional support to others
★
🤍
Please - If you're a completely different person than the described type of person I'm looking for (If you love abbreviations,If you don't need a stable friendship, If you're sarcastic and quiet) or If you simply disagree with my post - don't force yourself to send me a message.I want my new potential friendship to be natural which is why I want you to contact me only If your needs are the same - I don't want you to pretend someone you're not - only to please me - Pretending to be someone you're not - is the worst.I want to finally be happy again & find someone "always" wanting to talk - sending me random pictures throughout the day - food pictures or pictures of some animals. What is the most important to me? I want to find people who value online friendships as much as they would value real life ones as there's another human being on the other side
★
🤍
No comments please.Only Private messages and chat requests 🌺
I know It's possible to meet people with exactly the same expectations as mine but It's just not easy because most people are Interested In temporary and entertaining conversations. People like me are just "different" I really want to finally find someone who loves emojis as much as I do.. someone who loves sweet, warm and serious discussions at the same time. Emojis really do - change conversations 😊

(Only Europe, Please) - short note - If you're not into reading or receiving long messages,don't read any further + Please If you don't want to read everything because of my post being too long for you & instead of reading It all - ..skip some parts - find another person to talk to.Let's respect each other and our free time.

The amount of rude people on Reddit always criticizing others and making fun of them is unbelievably high but let me tell you something - NEVER let anyone make choices for you and criticize you only because you're different! Always fight for your dreams and never let anyone make you think you're worthless! It's your life and you're the one deciding what's best for you - If you want to judge me despite not even wanting to talk to me or give me advice better block me! I'm an adult woman and I make all decisions on my own.I'm not trying to "fit in" and be like everyone else - just to get more attention.Accept me for who I am or let go - is my motto.

What kind of friend would I like to find? Someone to talk to on a daily basis - Someone who needs It & wants It just as much as me
🤍
What are my expectations? I would like to meet someone in a similar situation – why? Because I honestly feel like only a person with the same expectations and a similar outlook on life would get along with me & because I feel more comfortable talking to people like me..Friendless people who need a strong bond - people without friends and partners.. Don't get me wrong…Most people deserve to be happy and It's good to have friends but people who have friends or families in real life are usually more focused on them (which is completely understandable) & have less time for others + I simply don't want to be replaced by anyone..I kind of envy people who can call others , true friends given I don't have an emotional bond with any of my acquaintances. Please send me a message only If you're not In a relationship and don't have friends for the same reasons I've already mentioned before
★
🤍
Whenever I hear that others have friends I simply get sad because (believe it or not) If I had to choose between 20 people to talk to (acquaintances) and one special person - I'd choose that one special person without any hesitation .
★
🤍
I also want to talk to others every day because..I want to see someone’s effort & be someone's first choice - not another person to have random conversations with..some people ask me "Why do you want to talk to people from Europe?" Well..Because I would like to see someone I'd get along with - In the far future - face to face :) + I don't want to wait any longer than 6 hours to receive a message - waiting 6 hours to receive a message is more than enough
★
🤍
I'm by no means criticizing people who don't want to talk to others often / People who really are super busy & People who want to find someone to have unimportant conversations with - I'm aware that not everyone has the same expectations which is why everything you're reading now - is here for a reason :) All I'm suggesting is - I don't want anything temporary and I don't want to be the one always giving more than receiving.Listen people - I used to ignore being..ignored by others..always being just an option to talk to during tough times or moments of boredom.I was too young to realize that I was never important enough for most people that were a part of my life. I don't know who needs to hear this but..No one is too busy to make time for you! People make excuses to avoid others because they prioritize everything and (maybe) everyone..over them. It's true that most people are busy - but It takes only a few seconds to start a conversation (If you're into short messages) and a few minutes (1-10/15) to type a long message . Don't let anyone lie to you.
★
🤍
Truth is that most people either don't like you enough to make time for you or just simply - feel no need to talk to others often but are they too busy? No..You don't need to send me a message just to ask me and tell me "Do you really want to talk every day? I like long messages but I can't promise to contact you often" If you really are unsure please don't send me a message.I don't need more acquaintances aka people to talk to - occasionally.
🤍
I'm not trying to sound rude but conversations once or twice a week wouldn't be enough for me and I don't need them... Let me tell you one thing – A true friend would never just give up on you for no reason :) It’s always possible to find someone to have a random conversation with – someone willing to send you one message once or twice a week..but..It’s almost impossible to find people willing to make more time for you.
★
🤍
I’m not asking a busy person to make time for me by changing some plans! Absolutely not! I’m here to find someone who wants to talk daily (throughout the day or maybe even night) of one’s own will.Someone looking for the same kind of connection.Strong friendships are based on mutual support. One of the best things you can do for a friend in need, is just to be there for them when they want to talk.I often see posts from people who always say how friendless they are because they don't feel loved or appreciated by their "friends" remember! A true friend - someone who truly likes you or someone who wants to get to know you - will always find time for you.
★
🤍
I'm not interested in small talk/short messages - I love long and meaningful conversations. It's so easy to find someone who loves abbreviations and questions like "How are you?" How was your day? Or what are you interested in? But so hard/almost impossible to find a person who knows how to keep a conversation going & show others some effort.Building and maintaining friendships takes time and effort.Never allow pursuits or possessions to become bigger priorities than your relations with other people.Close friendships are so important to us because they are so difficult to form + Having friends can help you feel as if you belong to something that brings purpose and connection to your life
🤍
• I do NOT respond to any „Hey,hmu” or „u want to talk?” type of messages (super short messages or messages full of abbreviations – I literally can’t stand abbreviations and acronyms in text messages) ALL messages full of abbreviations will immediately be ignored.I also don't like it when people ignore everything I say in private messages just to focus on a random question or? When they start talking only about themselves and don't ever ask me anything. I love conversations with people referring to everything I say...I want everything I say and do - to be reciprocated
🤍
• No NSFW profiles (checking mental health subreddits NOT included as I'm a huge empath and always try to understand others) - Please! I'm not looking for anyone to flirt with and I'm not looking for a partner either. I always check people's profiles (even comment history) - To avoid guys, trying to get inappropriate pictures from adult women or? flirt with them + I don't want to see you with no clothes on so If you're on Reddit only because you want others to see what's underneath your clothes - I'm not for you! I just simply don't want to see any s e x related activity on your profile If you want to talk to me.
🤍
• If both of us (you and I) are from the same country (I live in a non-English speaking country) - I want to communicate with you in our first language! No - Not because I don't understand English - because as you see - I do. Why then? English is simply overrated and people don't appreciate other languages as much as they should. So.. If we're from the same country and you want to talk only in English (which is quite common on reddit) - Talk to someone else. I just don't want to talk to a person from the same country as mine - in a foreign language as It's just something I don't understand even If all you want is to improve your language skills
🤍
• Please only adult people 18-36 (age range) It doesn't matter to me If you're younger or older than me (as long as you're not underage) So.. don't worry! I just want to have discussions with emotionally mature people :)
🤍
• I don’t respond to messages I don’t find interesting even If they're long - If after receiving and reading your message I don't feel comfortable or think "I wouldn't get along with him/her" I simply do not respond (what I’m suggesting is that I don’t always respond to someone’s first or second message because..sometimes you just know If you’d get along with someone or not- I’d never ignore anyone after days or weeks of daily conversations though) just because I don’t want to do anything forcefully & because I don’t want to lead anyone on. I read all messages but I definitely don't respond to all of them! I want to make it clear because I don't want to be accused of not responding and not reading people's messages! - Some people don't message me back as well and even If It's a bit disappointing I'm ok with that! - as long as there's no emotional bond - Not responding to someone's first or second message Is completely OK! If people think they wouldn't get along with a stranger - is there a reason to start a conversation? I don't think so. I can't stand being ignored after days or weeks of daily conversations and seeing people changing priorities over time.. but that's something different - something I don't want to go through ever again for real. If I'm really interested in someone's message it's impossible to hear from me "I'm too busy" because I know myself and If I had no time for others - I wouldn't be here. I don't want to pretend someone I'm not and always try to find some cheap excuses to avoid others. (unlike most people who don't want to talk to others)
🤍
• Don’t ask me “Can you tell me something about yourself?” If you really want to get to know me - you can ask me questions :) I'm an open book.
🤍
• It would be better If you guys were into emojis - like me - to describe your emotions In text messages. Two emojis - 🙂 and 🙁 are completely enough! I just don't like emotionless conversations.I also don't like it when people say "yeah" or yea"as it sounds dismissively. First impression Is everything to me! I want to see your kindness even in a text message - Emojis are very helpful to express your emotions.I don't want to meet people who say "crying Is a weakness" - It's OK to cry even If you're a guy!
🤍
• I want to talk on reddit first (just to make sure If I'd get along with you) before moving to Discord or some other app
🤍
• I would rather talk to a homebody - not another person who always has something to do as people who are very busy don't even have time for daily conversations
🤍
• If you're another person interested only in "childish conversations" such as "HEYOOO! I'M BORED! Ya like Pizza or cheese? xDDDD 🤣" I'm begging you! Don't send me a message.I'm not a child anymore and such messages don't make me smile or laugh.I'm looking for someone interested In serious discussions - not another person just seeking some entertainment out of boredom . Conversations with sarcastic undertones (even when It comes to some emojis such as 🤣😂) are not for me. Your typing style matters to me! Why? when It comes to online conversations with someone new - It's not always possible to know If someone Is laughing at you.. or with you. Let me tell you something else! Jokes about cancer, disabilities and death are UNACCEPTABLE to me. If you find joy In someone else's misfortune you are not a person I want to know.
🤍
• Time response matters to me a lot! I would never ask anyone to be online all day long and I'm NOT asking any of you for any instant messaging as I'm someone who would rather wait an hour or two to receive a proper response instead of some short and pointless messages but I'm interested only in daily conversations and I don't want to wait any longer than 6 hours to get a message from you.I don't need unbelievably long messages either! Messages as long as the second paragraph of my post - are completely enough. If you like longer messages? you can send me a longer message, but If you want to send me one word or one sentence as a response to my post - don't expect a reaction from me. I don't want to come across as rude - I just don't want to waste your time
🤍
• I'm strongly AGAINST picking on people you don't even want to chat with - and making fun of them! I can't stand people who criticize others publicly or make fun of them! (only because they disagree with someone they don't even know) There's no place In my life for someone using Reddit, to hurt other people
🤍
• I'm not into foul language and I definitely don't want to talk to people who swear a lot...
🤍
• I want to meet assertive people who know what they want and always stand up for their friends
🤍
• I want to meet someone willing to call me In the future, someone spontaneously sending me pictures of animals or food, et cetera. I want more than just text conversations.. 🌻
🤍
Why can’t you see any of my hobbies listed down below? Because what really matters to me is..who you are (If you’re honest, talkative ,understanding, caring and trustworthy – for example) just simply – It matters to me what you’re like! not what you like.Don’t get me wrong – you can tell me what your hobbies are but from my point of view - people's hobbies are important - If you want to find a gaming buddy or If you want to meet someone to hang out with in real life and..go bowling for example.What most people seem to care about are other people's passions – I don’t. I get along with other people despite having completely different hobbies but I absolutely don’t get along with people way different than me (different expectations and outlook on life – way different sense of humor or personality traits – It’s just an example) It doesn't make ANY DIFFERENCE to me If you're a gamer or? Someone interested in photography! It doesn't make any difference - > as long as you're talkative and kind and If you also want to find someone willing to stay in your life..for good - But If you're into small talk and all you want is to...type and receive super short messages or If you're here only because you're bored and don't know what to do + If you're a very sarcastic person - I'm definitely not for you! I don't get along with overly sarcastic people turning everything into a joke. Friendships should be natural – not forced. I wouldn't get along with people who laugh at everything.. In my opinion most people are way too sarcastic.. It's quite sad... Sarcasm can also be another form of passive-aggressive behavior.
★
🤍
People who want to be to friends should feel comfortable and have something in common. No - not necessarily a similar taste in music or movies but something else..Most friendships don't fizzle out because of people not having the same hobbies but..because they just simply have different expectations when It comes to something important.I'm not here out of boredom and trust me - I'm not here to meet as many people as possible.I choose quality over quantity.I highly value myself and my time & Sometimes one person but a person who makes you feel comfortable and understood - is more than enough :) We ALL can choose what kind of people we’d like to talk to and maybe even become really good friends with and I? I don’t want anyone to be disappointed.We all have some expectations after all.I know that people don't have to talk as often as possible in order to become friends but I'm interested only in daily conversations. If you really need someone to talk to due to loneliness and If you have time to talk to me daily (throughout the day and maybe even night) I always make time for others.I'm literally always available.I could even stay up all night long only to talk to someone important to me. I’m ready to commit but only If there’s some chemistry between me and someone else.I don’t do anything forcefully.
★
🤍
If you want to talk to me tell me your story - tell me why you're here, what kind of friend would you like to meet :) Et cetera.Such messages are way more interesting to me than...someone's long list of hobbies. I know! It's unusual on reddit but I don't make friends based on hobbies..I want to meet someone with the same mindset as mine to finally feel understood and get close to someone new. You can share your problems with me - I absolutely don't mind "complaining" as I've been through a lot in my life.What do people usually tell you when you tell them that something's wrong? "Don't complain" or "Life's not over yet - one day you'll be happy" or "There are worse situations than yours" and..obviously "Find a therapist" Life's not a fairytale and sometimes things don't go as planned.Emotions shouldn't be bottled up.I'm sick of people always telling others "everything's gonna be ok" move on " & more..Trust me people - not everyone wants to hear "Just believe in yourself and everything's gonna be ok" Some people take it as reassurance - but others? They would rather hear something different 🙁Imagine being told that things will be okay, only for them to get worse..Do you guys know why telling someone "everything's gonna be ok" Is wrong? Because you can't see the future.
★
🤍
You can't guarantee others that one day they'll finally be happy + when It comes to social interactions - We're responsible only for ourselves - not others & as you guys know people let us down quite often (sometimes even when there's no reason) so instead of telling people how they should move on, forget everything and be happy or asking them to find a therapist - be there for them! Always be willing to listen to them If you really like them or want to get to know them & don't suggest everyone in a tough situation to find a therapist because even the best therapist won't ever replace a true friend + It's quite normal to be disappointed If people always do something to hurt you. Sharing your hardships with other people in a very similar situation or exactly the same one - is VERY helpful If the other person understands you & wants to start all over by just letting it all out! Feeling emotional support instead of always hearing some "positive quotes" or someone saying "Stop complaining let's talk about something else - Is very important! "Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on. I appreciate sensitive people who always try to understand others. If after hearing a sad story all you want to say is "forget the past and move on" you're not for me. It's important to be a good listener and provide emotional support to others
★
🤍
Please - If you're a completely different person than the described type of person I'm looking for (If you love abbreviations,If you don't need a stable friendship, If you're sarcastic and quiet) or If you simply disagree with my post - don't force yourself to send me a message.I want my new potential friendship to be natural which is why I want you to contact me only If your needs are the same - I don't want you to pretend someone you're not - only to please me - Pretending to be someone you're not - is the worst.I want to finally be happy again & find someone "always" wanting to talk - sending me random pictures throughout the day - food pictures or pictures of some animals. What is the most important to me? I want to find people who value online friendships as much as they would value real life ones as there's another human being on the other side
★
🤍
No comments please.Only Private messages and chat requests 🌺
I know It's possible to meet people with exactly the same expectations as mine but It's just not easy because most people are Interested In temporary and entertaining conversations. People like me are just "different" I really want to finally find someone who loves emojis as much as I do.. someone who loves sweet, warm and serious discussions at the same time. Emojis really do - change conversations 😊

Hi all, I was diagnosed with testicular cancer last year and needed surgery. My cancer has recently come back and I now need to have chemotherapy and radiotherapy for where it has spread.
Once I've finished this round of treatment, I want to get a tattoo to mark surviving cancer, but I just can't decide what to get.
One idea is to do the chemical structure of the the type of chemotherapy I'm having on the inside of my bicep.
If you have any ideas, please let me know

Hello, all: time to dive in - the takeaway message here is that there is no evidence that Thomas Kingston had a funeral on March 12th as reported.
Every single article about this funeral informs us that William was present at the funeral, and with no photo or quote evidence, we need to seriously examine how flimsy the facts are that it even happened. I do believe Thomas Kingston is actually dead, and therefore something must have happened with the body, but I DO NOT believe he had a service in the way it has been reported. The reports of his funeral were fabricated to send one message: William was present at his funeral.
Just the day prior, on March 11, Camilla and William appeared and were photographed sitting together at Westminster Abbey to mark Commonwealth Day. There are quite a few photos from that day, as are the many days before - folks will say there is a media block on these stories, but evidence shows there are many photos of the Royals taken and published the same day. Which makes it extremely strange that the next day, there are are NO photos from the funeral of Thomas Kingston - an event that allegedly had 140 guests, including Prince William, and had a funeral procession that went from Kensington Palace to St. James palace. No photos from outside, inside, or direct quotes from anyone who attended the funeral.
At this point, there was no official statement from Buckingham Palace or Kensington Palace on the death of Thomas Kingston, and no announced services. The funeral was first reported by Richard Eden to the Daily Mail at 12:44 EDT on March 12 (the same date as the alleged service).
Now, we are seeing articles in late May saying Lady Gabriella is being asked to appear at the Trooping of the Colors and that there will be another, larger service in honor of Thomas Kingston in June. Why are they having another service, and why would there be a second one? Why was the first one so small? How did the first service manage to stay so private when it was 140 people, including the Prince of Wales? Now, I found a Daily Beast article that claims "Buckingham Palace had requested that no media attended the service". Was the service ever announced? No. I'd like to see the email to the news outlets telling them no press allowed. If there is no media allowed, why would Buckingham Palace immediately confirm William's attendance and allow a dozen stories to run the same day? Sure, very private. Related - I'm making a master timeline of the RF since December 2023, and let me tell you - Camilla has been more active than any of them. She was just with William the day before, she's been the biggest show horse of them all this year, and yet she's not present for this tragic funeral? I don't buy it.
As with much of this Kate Missing saga, I don't know exactly how this piece fits or what it means. But it is a piece of the puzzle, no doubt. They want us to believe that Thomas Kingston's death was not suspicious, and that William appeared at his funeral. ------
Now let's examine some key dates and facts as they have been reported:
Thomas Kingston died Sunday, February 25, 2024

• "According to The Telegraph, Kingston died by suicide at his parents’ home in the Cotswolds on Sunday. He was 45. Senior coroner for Gloucestershire, Katy Skerrett, said Kingston had lunch with his parents before his father took their dogs on a walk.

Kingston's mother began to search for him after 30 minutes, and his father "forced entry on a locked outbuilding when no reply could be gained. His father found Mr Kingston deceased, with a catastrophic head injury. A gun was present at the scene. The emergency services were called and the police are satisfied that the death is not suspicious," the coroner's office said." https://people.com/thomas-kingston-died-traumatic-head-wound-gunshot-lady-gabriella-husband-cause-of-death-age-45-8602940

Why no press at the funeral?
I just found this - I haven't seen this detail in any other article so I'll post it here.
"Buckingham Palace had requested that no media attended the service, which was held at Chapel Royal, St James’s, followed by a reception in St. James’s Palace.
A spokesperson for the palace Tuesday thanked the media for respecting the family’s privacy and said the funeral was attended by Prince William. The queen was not able to attend due to a prior engagement and the king could not attend due to medical advice to avoid large gatherings while he is being treated for cancer.
A larger memorial service is likely to be held in due course."

I'm honestly sorry this is a sad post but I really need some help, whether it's cliche or anything i don't care, to deal with grief. My mom's cat (well my mom adopted her but I was there and have lived here my whole life. I'm 23) had to be unexpectedly put down a few days ago. we knew she wasn't doing well and that she possibly wouldn't make it to the end of the year, but having that thrown right there in the appointment and decision broke my heart. Lily was born april 2011, and we had her december 2011-may 2024. My guinea pig passed away (in his sleep) last october and I had him from june 2018-oct 2023. Anything from quotes, poems, 'hey I've been there' and tips to just deal with the grief. I know it won't ever fill the hole in my heart from her passing, but I would like to feel a bit lighter. My other cat Chloe is concerned about me I think and has her own health issues, but thankfully hasn't shown any extreme mourning signs of Lily (they didn't get along lol).
Lily's full story:
Her health was iffy, she got pancreatitis a lot (like once a year but the vets never knew what it was and we went to several different vets until we found this one I trust a lot back in 2022). In April 2023, she faked pancreatic cancer - yes, faked because the tumor turned out to be the rare 5% where it's an abscess cyst. We got it controlled and small, and back to regular business of just monitoring her health and weight, and when she puked which decreased a lot. But she soon followed with worsening IBD (or kitty crohns I call it). We did everything for her and I find comfort in that. Unfortunately, she began to go downhill severely the past week - I was thinking a bad flare up. The vet coming out to say GI lymphoma, an abdominal tumor - metastasis which spread to a tumor in her lungs, felt like hell. It still feels like hell. Making that decision in a 5 minute span is awful, but she was in pain and there was no question that we could not prolong it. As she passed, she farted - an absolute tribute to the chaos and humor she brought that made me laugh through bawling.
it's really hard knowing she only really showed signs the past 2ish weeks - when we noticed her breathing was not good we got her to the vet in 3 days. we brought her to internalist specialists and everything this year, who said yeah you can't really diagnose GI lymphoma but it's the same symptoms of IBD. Besides weight loss, we actually got her to a stable weight and she was healthy for awhile until May (even before she died, she still used her litter box and was unhinged for human food trying to take my hand off and steal my plates). i just can't understand how it spread so quick - her pancreas and pancreas mass were PERFECT, but the tumor in her abdomen - along with abdominal fluid, and the cancer spreading to her lungs in a form of a tumor is so hard to come to terms with. it was right there on the x-ray.
We adopted Lily in December of 2011. My first furbaby, or fursissy, she was chaotic as she was a true Aries. She didn't last more than a few hours in her room. She chased and attacked toes underneath covers at 3am. She made 11 year old me, who was riddled with anxiety over a new being in the house, laugh and cry at the same time. She's doing that now even in her passing - from the time she's scaled the curtains, to her flopping down dramatically, or finding any which way to get to food; bless her heart, she was chaos formed. she was here for more than half of my life, that tabby cat. The hole in my heart can't be filled, replaced, or lessened; but I know she isnt in pain anymore and I'm so, so blessed to have had her here. 12 years I will never regret or forget, and I guess with the stronger the love the stronger the pain.
I just hope she's up there with my guinea pig causing havoc, because he loved her.
thank you for any responses or help.

Just like the title says - I had my orchi ~3 months and change ago, and have my first set up surveillance scans/blood tests in < 12 hours. I'm freaking tf out! Sorry for the emotional trauma dump.
For reference, I had Stage1A 50% EC, 30% Teratoma, 10% Yolk, 5% Chorio, 5% Seminoma. Germ cell starter pack. No LVI or anything, ~3cm tumor with ~0.8cm of it being a cyst. My doctors, as well as Dr Einhorn, quoted me a ~30% chance of recurrence. I decided to go with surveillance and save chemo for if i really needed it...
~ 2 months ago I had normal tumor markers that we fairly elevated pre-orchi. All that being said - i've been tweaking the past week or so. Idk if it's real but I get random head aches, back pain, side pain, you name it. Praying for a good result, so many things I'm looking forward to.
I know they say TC is the best type of cancer we could get - and there's truth to that statement. But man, this scanxiety and fear of recurrence is horrible :( Just want to be okay.
Anyways, I'll post in this thread when I get my results. Love

I was originally diagnosed with Unspecified Schizophrenia buy a short term psychiatrist but the replacement psychiatrist deemed me to not have a psychotic disorder. Every medical professional I’ve talked to also says that I’m not schizophrenic.
About 5 years ago I had a really bad LSD trip where my friend convinced me that we were being stalked and followed in public and then started talking about spirits communicating through us. I wanted to help him but also wanted to escape his house. It created a split of sorts in me. I severely dissociated. I remember breathing very very heavily all night.
The next day I was not psychotic but definitely dissociated and traumatized. I had avoidance symptoms, flashbacks, insomnia, and nightmares for months (actually, years).
Life went on for a few months until things started getting worse. I started becoming somewhat confused in social situations. I would be with lifelong friends and they’d tell a joke and for some reason I just wouldn’t get the joke and I’d start wondering it at why in the world they were laughing.
I started getting into conspiracy theories and 99% convinced myself that there were secret “Freemasons” in my religion (Jehovahs Witnesses) and started thinking that some of the members were flashing me secret hand signs to show that they knew that I knew.
I also starting thinking that my partner might have been having an affair with a co-worker they were routinely staying late at work with and that the co-worker might have been using some kind of black magic (they had occult tattoos visible on their body…or at least that’s what I saw).
I go back and forth just about every day on whether I’m schizophrenic or not. Throughout this whole ordeal I never heard voices or saw anything although I would occasionally feel like something was grabbing me as I fell asleep.
After about a year and a half of dealing with these symptoms I saw a psychiatrist who trialed antipsychotics on me. They didn’t work. That psych was eventually replaced and I asked my new psychiatrist for a clozapine prescription. He somewhat reluctantly obliged. I quickly requested higher and higher dosages until I landed at 600mg which I stayed on for 3 years until I had to come off due to emergency cancer.
Given the fact that I’ve been off of all psychiatric medicine for almost 2 years now and haven’t had any major symptoms, my psychiatrist doubts that my diagnosis was ever even correct and removed the DX from my medical chart.
Today I’m more confused than ever. My psychiatrist briefly mentioned that he thinks I may have a personality disorder but didn’t go into too much detail and I didn’t care enough to press him on it at the time. I personally think that it was perhaps all PTSD related.
From what I understand, if a drug gives you psychosis/schizophrenia, you get the psychosis from the drug itself not develop it months later like I perhaps did, right?
Did the isolation/insomnia/flashbacks I get to my head and what I perceived to be “psychosis” was really just intrusive thoughts and mistrust?
I know this post is super long but no medical professional has been able to give me a clear answer. I’ve been told I may have MDD or PTSD w/ Psychotic Features, ASD & PTSD, BPD, OCD, etc. the list goes on.

Yesterday my mum and i got into an argument which basically began as i was doing my final assignment and didn’t wanna go out to do this exercise she wants me do to (apparently its to cure your hunchback because i have… a hunchback??)
She then got extremely angry and claimed i am nothing without her and i quote, if not for her i wouldn’t have gotten my current job, wouldn’t have GRADUATED UNIVERSITY and would have broken up with my bf a long time ago.
She then went on to say now that i am 22, i have a mind of my own now and think i am so cool by getting piercings and tattoos (which have in no way affected my ability to find a decent government job) whilst people like me who choose to do this to their body are all abnormal and mentally ill, and that my boyfriend would break up with me as his parents probably don’t want him to date a girl with piercings and tats.
I have wanted to move out and told my dad about it, he just tells me to endure it like he has for all these years.

Lately I have felt lso incredibly lonely. I have no friends and I barely have any family. Its like, if I disappeared I doubt anyone would notice. My family consists of me, my younger sister and my mum. I do have cousins, an auntie and uncle but I never speak to them and I'm pretty sure my cousins and auntie hate me, why? I don't know. I suffer with depression, anxiety and was also diagnosed with PTSD at 13 after a traumatic childhood. I have always found it hard to make friends and given the current life experiences I have had, it has made me such a sad person that I am today. To put it simple, I am love deprived. My mum has done her best to raise both me and my sister, but I can't help but feel like my younger sister is the golden child. I have tried to have this talk with my mum several times but the conversation always gets heated and I'm never able to get through to her why I am so angry all of the time. I work two jobs Monday to Friday, it's very hard work and with my mums health conditions she can't work, so, I help out financially. I don't have a problem with this. However, my sister, who works barely ever contributes to the family considering I already pay out a lot and a lot of the time I have paid for her too. Food, gas, electric, toward her horse, petrol, ect. Growing up, my sister has always had everything given to her on a plate where as I have always had to work for the things that I have or have wanted. My sister has had birthday parties, she has always had a birthday present, she's had horses bought for her, things for her horses, she's had makeup bought for her, tattoos paid for, you get the picture. I've only ever had one birthday party and that was when I was in primary school or probably even younger, I'm lucky if I even get a birthday card on my birthday, which I am grateful for, the horses that I have had growing up have been horses from my mums business (riding school) and my current horse was my sisters up until she decided that she wasn't interested in him anymore. (She is now back into the horses). My family have always favourited my sister with smothering her and talking to her, where as I was lucky if I ever got a hello and even then I was the one who had to say hi first, otherwise, I was treated like I didn't exist. Money has always been tight and I am very grateful for things that I have. I have asked for things for my birthday like tattoos or things that I've always wanted, and yet despite never receiving them, I have never made it a big deal. Surprise surprise though, my sister has always gotten what she has asked for, including tattoos and other things that she has asked for. Now I know that I may sound selfish but I hope that someone can see where I am coming from? I have always felt like I am pushed aside and not even worth a second thought. I didn't really get much love growing up, hugs and stuff like that. My grandparents where probably the only two to ever show me love but my grandad passed away when I was 13 and then my nan passed when I was 16. My dad left us when I was about 12 so I have always felt like I needed to take care of the family. Even when my mum got breast cancer, I did my best to take care of everything, especially the second time when I was 16/17 and everything was left down to me. No one ever asked if I was okay and I later found out that my auntie had visited my mum in hospital but hadn't even offered to take me and my sister there. I've had horrible relationships in the past with partners and with friends and now I've become such an angry and closed off person. There is so much more to this but I would likely go on forever. I'm 25 now and I just feel like my life is already over. My mum is still having health issues, I'm trying my best to look after us but I am not getting any help, not even from my sister. I just feel so so alone and like my world is at the end. I try my best every single day but its never enough. I just wish that someone would look after me for a change...is that too much to ask for?

So this song just absolutely hit me on a deep, emotional level and I need to get it tattooed but I’m struggling to think of how to turn it into a design.
I don’t need a super intricate, detailed finished piece more just a concept sketch that I can show my artist to work with, I’ll pay you and you can of course quote me what you would need before drawing.
Ideally would want it to be focused on the lyrics attached here, specifically incorporating “circadian rhythm of a shooting star”, “the mannerisms of Raphael I can heal and give you art”, “me jumping planets immortalized”, “timid soul, stare in the mirror askin where I was from often” or anything else that you think would work.
For some background, the lyrics are about questioning yourself and praying for forgiveness for what you’re about to do, right before taking the plunge and doing something that you know might end badly for you and have irreversible consequences, but that you know is necessary because it’s the right thing to do for the greater good.
Idk if that makes sense but we can brainstorm more in DMs if anyones interested, shoot me a message if so.

BtVS/Angel have provided me a ton of comfort when I needed it most, and I’d love to get a tattoo that’s meaningful like the shows have been to me!
I tend to be picky with my tattoos and I’m juggling a lot of different things to consider. I figured I’d list some of my thoughts and see if anyone has ideas— I’m curious what other tattoos people have gotten/come up with! :)

1. I’ve been getting minimal/small-ish tattoos so far— I’m not ready for smth big and complicated 😅
2. I don’t want to get one of the actors’ faces for that reason (don’t want to risk it coming out uncanny valley)
3. I’m leaning away from words as most of my current tattoos are words, but meaningful quotes from the Buffyverse are always on the table!
4. Spike is my favorite character and I would LOVE a Spike-inspired tat!! I’m just struggling to find many symbols associated with him
5. I’d love to avoid crosses if possible— I’m Jewish :)

So far there are a few I’m considering: -Faith’s arm tattoo -Mr Pointy (maybe with the “B” Buffy logo?) -Giles’ Buffy drawing from Hush
I’d love to hear people’s ideas or Buffy tattoos you guys have gotten!! Especially Spike symbol ideas. Angel suggestions welcome :)
