Nobody probably remembers it but I made a post a while ago talking abt using she/they pronouns just because I think they’re cool. But I’ve been using them online on tiktok and I feel so much happiness when someone comments and refers to me as “they”.

This isn’t really an update just wanted to share because I’m just really happy and I feel so comfortable in this identity.

Haven’t told anyone I actually know irl tho bc I’m still terrified. I just came out as lesbian in april so I need a break before I do that lol😭

I used to lucid dream literally every single night throughout elementary and middle school. Once I got to high school, it slowed down but it was still pretty common.

Now, I still have extremely vivid dreams where I have all my senses but I can’t get myself to become fully lucid anymore. I still have that thought of “oh I’m dreaming” but I can’t do anything about it. If I wake up in the middle of a dream, I can go in between consciousness (if that makes sense??), be aware and control everything in my dream while also still feeling my bed and body beneath me. It’s really weird. If anyone has any tips for becoming fully lucid that would be great. I’m trying to experiment with some things through lucid dreaming.

For the people who have watched it at different stages of life (preferably watching it as a teen, then later into adulthood), how has your perspective on the show changed?

I’m 17 and watched it last year at 16. Obviously, I haven’t changed much but I plan on watching it in my 20s, 30s, and so forth. I’m curious how you interpreted the show as you got older/gained new life experience.

Did you relate to different characters? Were any of the storylines viewed differently from when you first watched it?

We hadn’t spoken in a year and all of a sudden i couldn’t stop thinking about him. After letting those feelings happen for 24 hrs, I woke up with him still stuck on my mind. I made a playlist of the songs he reminded me of and just cried. I missed him so much and I was doing so well so I didn’t understand. I followed him on instagram and dm’d him. We hit it off like always, and it was like we never stopped talking.

The crazy part is he told me unprompted that he randomly started thinking about me and wondering how I was. When I told him I felt the same, he said “something about you is just different.”

I have POTS and hEDS diagnosed, and still trying to figure other stuff out. I have pretty curly hair, around type 3C to 4A. I really struggle with showering and managing my curly hair because of chronic pain and blood pooling, dizziness, all the POTS stuff when I shower. iykyk. It’s not even really about the curly hair part, it’s mainly having to have my arms raised for an extended amount of time. My shoulders get sore and I just get overheated and dizzy.

I’m not really sure my bathtub is big enough for a shower chair because I share it with my sister and It’ll probably be a lot to have to take it in and out everyday. If anyone has any tips for washing your hair in the shower or just showering in general I would appreciate it so so much. I feel so gross for not showering as often as I want to but I get so extremely fatigued and nauseous.

TLDR; I have a hard time standing in the shower and raising my arms to wash my hair. My bathtub seems to be too small for a shower chair. Tips?

I’ve known I liked girls since I was about 11 or 12, I’m 17 now. I switched back and forth between bi, omni, pan, and lesbian and then lesbian and bi a lot. I identified as bi for a while and then thought I was lesbian but now I think I’m bi with a heavy preference for women. I feel really guilty but nobody really knows that I’m lesbian just that I also like girls.

To anyone who’s gone through this, do you have any advice? I feel so embarrassed even though I’ve never even dated a girl. I can’t tell what I am because on one hand, men are so easy to date and they’re just always there, and single teenagers are a lot harder to find. Especially because I do online school.

I have 3c to 4a curls and i’m thinking about buzzing just experience my hair in all lengths. Has anyone buzzed their hair, and regretted it/loved it?

Also my bad if I should be in r/curlyhair. I’m mixed and It seems like it’s all non POC in that subreddit with 3a hair so I’m in the middle of curly and coily.

What the title says. I just think those pronouns sound cool. Sorry if this is offensive in any way but i genuinely have no other reason to want to use them.

I’m an aries sun, scorpio moon, aqua rising. I’ve always felt different but verbally hearing that I’ll never fit in from someone else was hard to hear. She also mentioned I’m made to stand out and be my own person but the fact that I will never feel like I belong anywhere kinda sucks. I’m fine with being a loner for the most part but some days I want an actual connection with someone. Anyone else feel the same?

I’m going into senior year. I’m terrified of graduating. I have no idea how to be an adult. I cannot work a 9 to 5 for the rest of my life.

I don’t want to die, I just want to sit in complete nothingness for a little while. Time is moving too fast. it sounds childish but i’m actually really scared of moving out. nobody in this world understands me

I want to try waxing at some point because I have chronic illnesses that make it hard to shave and shower for long periods of time.

I have hypermobile ehlers danlos syndrome which makes my joints more prone to dislocating and I get a lot of joint pain. I always see videos of people getting bikini or Brazilian waxes and they go into butterfly position. I think it would be a lot of pressure on my hips and would be pretty painful.

for anyone who has gotten waxed, are there other position I could do or do you have to be in that position for a lot of the time? Sorry if this is a dumb question I’ve never gotten and waxing done besides my eyebrows.

I constantly over hear my younger sister(15) saying she doesn’t like being friends with people who drink and/or smoke or vape. I heard her saying that a friend of hers was dealing with friends who did that stuff and felt bad because “what if they’re going through something”. my sister doesn’t understand mental health, and neither do my parents.

i (17f) have persistent depression and i suspect some kind of neurodivergence. because of that, i struggle with basic tasks like showering and brushing my teeth. i also dealt with a smoking/vaping addiction and hid it from my parents until they found something on my phone that had to do with it. they don’t understand what it’s like to be on the verge of killing yourself and a substance being the only thing keeping you alive.

i feel very lonely because i don’t have friends as i do online school and struggle with chronic illness. i usually feel fine mentally but sometimes i get these waves where i start to fall back into depression again.

TLDR; My parents and sister don’t understand the struggles of mental illness and addiction and it makes me feel shameful and isolated

I’ve heard scorpio moons and aqua risings aren’t the best placements. What are your first impressions?

Since my symptoms started worsening, I’ve been having hunger throughout my body if that makes sense but my stomach feels full/numb. It feels like I’m just always full even if I haven’t eaten and I just have to force myself to eat anyway.

I did a protection spell using a white candle, rosemary, salt, obsidian and a sigil and my name drawn on paper that I burnt. I’m so happy I feel so energized for some reason. Usually when I do divination with my tarot deck, I feel super drained after but something about completing my first spell makes me super happy! I’m trying to work on perfecting my own craft so I didn’t search up much so I can work on using what feels best for me.

I’m a baby witch and I want to start spells and more physical manifestation techniques. I have tarot cards and I’m starting to get a lot better at them. I’ve also pretty familiar with the general concept of manifestation as I have been making vision boards since 2023. I would love to try some candle spells and things like that but I don’t know where to buy the materials I need. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated :))

Also where specifically can I get sage or incense to cleanse?

Last night I had this dream but I was very self aware in it and it genuinely felt so extremely realistic, it feels like a memory but it’s also fuzzy in my mind when I try to think about it. In the dream I remember repeating to myself “Oh I’m shifting right now” When I know I don’t think that’s necessarily true I think maybe it was lucid dreaming but I was 100% aware of the “reality” I was in. I was able to wake up whenI wanted but when I woke up my brain was still telling me “oh you just shifted” and I would go back to sleep and choose where I wanted to go. I’ve been having these kinda of things happen for a while, where I’d wake up and dream of something completely in my control. I can only describe it as really vivid and realistic daydreaming. I haven’t been trying any methods recently. I usually just say I’m going to shift tonight and I keep affirming it super casually and using LOA. I haven’t shifted to my dr yet but I’ve been dreaming a lot more and most of the time it’s the type of thing I described above. Does this mean I’m close to shifting?

What music do you guys listen to? I listen to a lot of popular artists but the more I dig into them as a person, the more I see how shitty celebrities are and just hollywood in general. I love music with all my heart and It’s my favorite thing about life. I would love recommendations for some good music with actual respectable artists.
