You stop caring about the silent treatment. If people wanna be supportive in your life, they will be. I didn’t bother “chasing” her love. My own momma’s love is enough
Having supportive people around me definitely helped, especially around the time I was grey rocking. It made me realize that I didn’t have to pretend to be someone I was not just to have basic love, support and respect. It was a bit scary at first when I didn’t really have much of a reaction to my sperm donor’s rejection, but I had already gotten so much support that I didn’t feel the need to have support from someone I just didn’t have that much emotional connection with. I just built an entire world without them and escaped into it
I have some more wholesome memes but I’m gonna spread them out a bit so I don’t spam the sub👍🏾
At first it did scare me that I didn’t have very many emotions involving my sperm donor’s rejection but I realized I didn’t care because I already had people who were supportive and caring in the life. I was also already grey rocking atp so I just kinda realized I didn’t really care about getting supportive from people I kinda stopped getting emotionally involved in
Jokes aside, this has been a wild journey. Growing up, I hated my hair. I was a military brat and we grew up in the white suburbs. My hair was always straightened during my childhood but during my teen years, my birth mother decided to stick with the twists in pics 2 and 3 (Ik what they are, I can’t spell it rn 💀). I was always miserable though. I can’t get into my abuse story, but hair was one of the corner points of it. I never felt like it was mine. It always felt like heavy chains on my head. I never took care of it. I never brushed it out, moisturized or cleaned it properly. In pic 5, when I shaved my head a couple months after covid started, you can see all the product over the years because I hated my hair too much to even take care of it. When I shaved my head, I was given the silent treatment by my birth mother for a month. But it was the best decision in my life. Pic 6 was about 2 months after I cut my birth parents off. After that, the rest was history. I started taking care of my hair. Instead of 15 minute washes, I’d spend an hour. I still moisturize my hair with coconut oil. For about a year before I got my dreads, I’d spend every Sunday combing my hair out for an hour or two. It was a bit of a heartbreak to have it locked because it felt like saying goodbye to a tradition. I’m still only 23 years old, though. I’m young and dumb and still don’t really know what I’m doing but, you know, it’s life. I just know I’m finally happy with my hair, even if it’s still a mess after all these years. ❤️❤️
(If you read all of that, thank you!)
Edit: Thank you all for the positivity in the comments! I will try to get to as many as I can, but if I don’t, I just wanted to thank y’all!
Edit 2: THE AMOUNT OF SUPPORT IS CRAZY RN! Thank y’all so much! This is probably the last edit to this post but I promise I am not ignoring your replies! I am reading every positive reply and I truly am grateful for all the positivity. I guess my advice would be to be yourself. And not just to be yourself, but to be yourself in the face of adversity. The reason I’m able to be the person I am today is because of all the support I have irl. Even though life sucks rn, especially with everything going on, the amount of positivity and support I have gotten outweighs the negativity and hatred. I’m not myself in spite of the hatred, I’m myself because the hatred means nothing to me. So be yourself and find the people who will build you up instead of knock you down! ❤️❤️❤️
(Y’all are also more chill than fakeclaimers so)
Edit: Also, I’m sorry if I do sound condescending. It’s just that I’m tired of people dogpiling others online for someone so minuscule while I’m out here working and struggling. I just wanted to say that I don’t believe you need to spend thousands of dollars to “prove” you have a mental illness. I was just privileged enough to live in a community with lots of resources, and it is a privilege I am forever thankful for as many others don’t have that access
Ah, my ex-racist king Barok Van Zieks from The Great Ace Attorney. Don’t get me wrong, he’ll always be my favorite character in the entire Ace Attorney franchise, but if I ever meet bro irl, it’s on site🙏🏾🙏🏾
This post isn’t important. I just wanted to see more people’s senior dogs in the replies (plus if it includes names and the weirdest thing they do)😌
Edit: I unfortunately can’t respond to everyone, but thank you all that replied! All your pooches look so adorable and I love every single one of your dogs!
Idk what it is but owners here seem more in tuned to their dogs. I’ve had three people straight up tell me “sorry, he’s not friendly, he bites”. And like??? You actually respect and know your dog??? Idk what it is, but please keep it up. Dogs are my hyperfixation, but I will respect any “no” regardless of reason or lack thereof. I have a lot more positives about Denver, but this is only one of them
