Would this have as many calories as simply boiled eggs since no oil was added?

Today is the 15th of August. On this day I lost my country no matter how good or bad it was five years ago. Today I live alone and learn the language of a country that was kind enough to accept me but I had to leave my mother behind for the hopes of a better future and the chance to get an education and feed my family.

My mother lives in fear and loneliness, my second cousin who was a bright little kid grew up to become hopeless and depressed and my other cousin wasn’t allowed to go to university so she got married and now isn’t allowed to have an abortion in midst of her divorce with a second child she knows she won’t be able to feed.

Afghanistan wasn’t a good country but it was mine, it was mean at times but it had its beauty and peace as well.
I don’t know when or if I will ever get the chance to hold my mother or return home but I know that I will forever mourn how it was all brutally taken from me.

I don’t know where you live or how hard things are but please if you have your family and friends close and they are dear to you, give them a bit more love, appreciate the soil and water and the feeling of home that belongs to you.

So this definitely opened my eyes
I could’ve had better nutrition with the same calories if I’d made smarter choices but this was a cheat day and I can do better tomorrow

Hi everyone I’m renting a place for the first time and went to check the apartment out and I can’t tell if this place is moldy and damp or just normal. It’s on the ground floor and the building is pretty old (from 1956). Do you guys think it’s safe to rent and live in?

I don’t know if I can ask this here but does one truly burn almost 500cals with 18k steps?

Edit: I’m 5’4 and 140lbs if that affects it

So after graduating with fairly good grades from school (91,9% out of 100%) life took a downturn all of a sudden and I had to move around a lot and even move countries and live under significant stress for four years where I got a lot of mental health problems I couldn’t afford to see a therapist about and just pushed down. I had some jobs during this time and am currently a cashier and have gotten into a not yet fully but slowly bettering stable place in life. I’ve always wanted to go to college but until recently couldn’t afford it and last year even took a class which was online and got 100% on my assignment (which I definitely cried over at least twice) but the tuition sadly cost too much and I had to drop out. Now I can afford it but it might still take some time and until then I’ll be 24 and I’ll probably graduate at 28-29.

Am I out of my mind? Will I be able to handle college with so many years away from the education system? Is this worth it? Do you ladies have any advice for me?

I want to be realistic because I sadly couldn’t attend my graduation and a part of my heart has always longed to at least experience the college life, even stepping into a university and having good jobs being a possibility, but I don’t want to regret it or go fully broke and end up with a degree I’ll only hang on the wall.

For context I was majoring in business administrations but might opt for business informatics if I do decide on studying.

Girl dinner: garlic bread with a weirdly good sauce I made in my Heinz ketchup bottle (pickled jalapeño juice, lime, mayo and ketchup) and a homemade açaí bowl

The first ever birthday cake I made for one of my roommates

A lemon blueberry cake with simple cream frosting
I whisked the frosting by hand and there was probably not enough but I am veryyy satisfied

How do I slightly cuntify myself? I want to be more confident even though I have a tech neck, dress slightly modestly, am a bit overweight and have frizzy hair, how do I build a stronger personality? I don’t want to be intimidated so easily.

Please help

I was on the subway going to the library and I had one headphone on since I want be aware in case something happens around me and listening to Mamushi by Megan thee stallion as one does when hard times come

And I slightly overheard two old ladies to my left slightly gesturing to me and complimenting my hair and how I had braided it (two small braids on each side)
Tell me why my anxious ass got out of the train in the next station when it wasn’t even my stop?…I got so nervous even though they were the sweetest old ladies that I didn’t even look in their direction and just bolted.
I probably looked like a mean girl and I hate it
I love when old people are sweeties, some days I just can’t be a normal human being and I act like a raccoon
I hope they know I truly appreciated the compliments since I had to start taking care of my own hair (it’s really frizzy and quite curly) after moving countries and not having my mom close to help me like she always did until I turned 18

I got back from work at 9:30 p.m.
Had a whole pot of cooked beans with lemon juice and two tortillas
Sat on my bed for a second to rest
Fell asleep at 11 p.m. with the lights on
Woke up at 3:30 a.m. to turn the lights off
Couldn’t fall back asleep
Had a good mental breakdown and cry at 5:55 a.m.
I’m tired, bloated, stressed, sad and a little angry

Regretful girl breakfast, I wish I listened to the little voice in my head screaming “THIS IS A BIG MISTAKE” as I reached for my blanket last night
Low fat mozzarella, organic cherry tomatoes and some Lidl brand bread

Girl…
I’m a cashier (22F) and I’m a really nice person at work, I’m patient with the customers and gladly hear them out and help them.

An old man came and asked for a mirror to see how the sunglasses looked on him so I directed him to where they were and he thanked me and touched my shoulder THE OPTIMISTIC PEOPLE PLEASER IN ME THOUGHT IT WAS A GRANDPA THING so I smiled and walked away.

The man later returned and he later told me where he’s from and said I’m pretty and I look like the women from his country and proceeded to do an almost “rawr” sound while looking at my boobs (I don’t even wear anything tight) and said “you look sweet like candy” and blew me a kiss

I was scared
I fucking just stood there
My dumb ass fawning started and I just wanted some alien to come and abduct him
Sir, you’re almost 70. My mom wouldn’t date you. My dead grandma wouldn’t date you.
I really wish I’d drawn a line there instead of keeping quiet and simply staring at this wrinkly weirdo

Low fat mozzarella I saved from the back of the refrigerator before the expiration date gets close and cheap coffee I made at home

I’m talking to this guy and he’s honestly nice but I can’t seem to grow feelings? It’s just sort of weird
I don’t have anyone besides my mom and I fear getting super lonely if I ever lose her (may that day be FAAAAAR awar) and I’m absolutely not one for going out and finding my great love so honestly if this doesn’t work out I’m not gonna be trying but why can’t I grow feelings? There’s chemistry but I can’t even explain what I feel properly.
Am I self sabotaging?

Eggs in tomatoes, a can of sweet corn, pickled jalapeño, Diet Cola in a champagne glass cause i don’t drink anymore
And of course some chocolate crinkle cookies I made at two in the morning

How different can two people be before they obviously don’t make a good couple?
Like hypothetically if one significant other loves food and the other isn’t a big fan of snacks
Or if the other is very confident and one may have some insecurities they might not get over that quickly
Or one had a past of dating and the other doesn’t
Just curious
