I occasionally make toffee and fudge, and if we've a glut of fruit, I might make some pâte de fruit. I also went through a phase of making alcoholic cocktail marshmallows.

So, have you ever made any sweets at home?

I've left chocolate types off the list because that's mostly just melting and reforming?

Sometimes I still feel pretty.

But yesterday I took a photo of myself upon waking up I had not even opened my eyes yet, my eyes are still unable to open because of the light and still in dream mode but I lifted my hand 🖐️ with my 📱 phone and squinted with one eye to see the camera option, then I closed my eyes and just clicked on take photos and went right back to sleep.

when I finally woke up I went back to look at the photos 😨 I looked so ugly!! I never thought I looked so ugly before.

I always thought I look so pretty! Especially days I get ready.

sure there were days I thought I didn’t look so nice and maybe sometimes ugly. But not to this level.

Im about to turn 39 in about a month from now.
Most people always confused me for being 20 and these photos are for the first time telling me I look old. I see it in those specific photos.

how old were you when you started to think you look ugly? Or started to see it?

Did you know that:

If you had just gotten engaged to the love of your life, but were planning on waiting a certain time to officially get married due to circumstances, would you skip the waiting and get married right away if they were to die in a month?

Do you stock up before the fourth or do you buy at the last minute?

Also for bonus points: any stories of fireworks mishaps?

Yo! Guys how’s everyone? Im already an LV User but not Gucci. Was planning to get a Gucci wallet for my boyfriend but not really sure which leather is best and durable as my man doesn’t like to change stuff in years. Which one to go LV or Gucci?

I’ve heard people say several times that they ‘felt someone watching them’ or ‘felt him/her/them staring at them’. I’ve also had my fair share of instances where I felt like someone was staring at me. Do you think it’s possible to feel someone staring at you?

I’m asking as I never had a partner , I have no guy to plan a vacay & he fast say yes he’ll go with me. No guy ever has wanted live life together with me.

so I’m going on vacay alone. I’m used to being alone anyways. But I see people travel alone all the time it must be normal too. For single woman travel alone.

I recently watched the movie "Poor Things," and I got to thinking how many times I've pissed someone off for just being me. And how many times I just did not care when maybe I should have? When I changed my mind often in the pursuit of adventure? Have you lost people in your pursuit of adventure?

Or do you even brush your teeth? 🤔 😂

I brush after meals how about you?

My girlfriend and I have been dating for 5 years and recently we celebrated my birthday. There was one thing I specifically asked for that she got me and I appreciate it. But everything else just seemed a little thoughtless.

One thing, she got me a personalized ice cream spoon. On the surface, it seems cute but I practically only eat ice cream with a tiny spoon when I’m home and the spoon she got me was a normal size. I probably won’t really use it. She also got me pimple patches from a brand I like other products from but I really don’t have pimples and the few times I’ve used patches in the past, they don’t work or sometimes make my face scab. I've told her this before since she uses patches and sometimes asks if I want to use any. Then finally, I’ve been wanting a kiddie pool to just be able to sit/ put my feet in, like the $15 kind. She ordered me one but it’s not supposed to come in for another week. Which is fine and all but this week I have off of work and I would have used it now. To me, I would have preferred to just go get one myself at the store so I could actually use it when I have time off. Or even just ordering me one that would have came in time for my birthday.

Everything she got me is sorta thoughtful but also not that useful to me. Part of me feels like she didn’t really try but the other part of me feels like I’m just being ungrateful. Gifts from her have always been like this but in the past I just let it go since I thought she was actively trying and maybe just not hitting the mark. But now that we’ve been dating longer, I feel like she should know a little better.

This isn’t about politics.

Just including the studio albums 2009 onwards.

With the exception of Relapse I've been very disappointed 😅 but I still listen to every new release just in case.

I'm interested in the new album coming out, although I didn't like the single Houdini, so I'm a bit hesitant.

So context: We used to sit next to each other in business class and we were very friendly he was super flirtatious - playfighting, teasing longing stares, lovey dovey comments.

. I mean this one time I was lowkey annoyed at him and moved to the far end of my chair and he pullec me closer to him- problem he had a girlfriend granted things were weird between them but I felt like it was wrong. He ended up breaking up with his girlfriend and here's me thinking he'll confess to me, wrong he got with his ex girlfriend's best friend. I was annoyed and made a comment and we drifted apart as we moved classes etc etc. he definitely knew I liked him 100%.

Here's the issue: (~5 years later present day) I have him on instagram and he always watches my story first, well I wanted to talk to him so l accidentally sent a reel to talk and it was so easy and free flowing with that teasing we had before- he even suggested we meet. I like him ano maybe I'm just reminiscing my young teenage crush and he's the one I feel got away, anyways I want to text him again it's been a week but I want him to chase me to want me to text me.

So do I text him, or am I moving with a lack of self respect with the past being like that, any help is greatly appreciated.
