Do you consider using years-old pics as a form of catfishing?

I do.

Theres no way you still look like what you did at that wedding you attended years ago.

Or that selfie with the OG instagram filters or snap chat dog ears.

Aging is okay guys, I’d just like to see the current version of you 💐

Coming from someone who met someone who looked WAAAY more aged than their pictures in person. Not a problem- it just catches me off guard.

..but why? Especially if you plan to meet in person?

Would love some feedback for my initial recording assessment

Audio quality is terrible, it’s unedited and just through voice memo on iPhone 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hi! I’m looking for any type of feedback for my voice. Intonation, expression, better technique for relaying emotions, etc.

Kinda going for an exhausted with life girl vibe.

Thank you! ✨

Please be kind 🥺

Second time I passively manifested someone romantically via subs.

I’ve had really good results in the past, but this time actually freaked me out. I was debating making a post because it sounds so fake. But I decided to anyway.

I was blindsided by a breakup a month ago and was absolutely devastated.

He couldn’t do long distance relationship due to his insecurities after I had to move back home from finishing a nursing contract down south. Before we started talking, I wasn’t looking for love at the time, but was playing love subliminals just for shits and gigs and out of pure cynicism. We worked together, but not actually in the same unit, but somehow things aligned for us to meet. I felt something unique and put myself out there, and decided to move forward with him.

Cut now- I was scrolling through a dating app when I came across someone that actually intrigued me because of his stated career (physics teacher). Intelligence is what attracts me the most.
I matched with him two days ago in person after talking on the app and texting. Yesterday we met up and it went WAAAY better than I thought it would. It was pretty magnetic, and our chemistry was obvious.

What really creeped me out was while talking to him He has the same qualities, beliefs, and little details that just so happened to reminded me of my ex (AND EVEN SAME CAR).

Once again, I wasn’t even wanting anything. I was swiping on the app just to swipe and see what’s out there (dating is terrible in your 30’s, btw), and playing SP subliminals passively.
This came out of the blue and it has actually made me SUPER anxious; like I opened up a can of worms and maybe it’s too soon to move on. Blahhhh. I wasn’t ready for this.

Just wanted to share my story.

Pics are subs I used. Samma’s subs are the same ones that I listened to before meeting my ex. Nocturnum’s “ a rare kind of love spell” was the new one I was looping. It’s a piano version of one of my favorite Billie Eilish songs so I just kept listening to it because I liked singing along to it 🤭**.**

So, to get to my point: subliminals are magical, but you also have to do the actions to align yourself with whatever it is your manifesting. Also, make sure you are ready for it. I wasn’t, and now I put myself in a situation where I am between fully healing from my ex and starting to open up to a great guy.

Good luck out there babes 🫂✨

Plainfield- Any recommendations for interior wall painters?

Hi! I’m moving to a home in Plainfield that needs a few rooms painted. Not sure of the square footage of the rooms, since I haven’t done any measuring yet. Any recommendations would help- whether it’s a company or an independent painter. Thank you!

Best way to learn how to play Black Jack?

I also am a female, and often feel too anxious and self conscious sitting at a table asking the dealer how to play. How did you learn? And how are vibe blackjack tables?

Roulette is the only table game I’ve play so far.

Why do I seem to trigger deep rooted insecurities in the men I date?

Hello~
I am actively learning about myself and gaining any sense of self worth back. I’m hoping any response would be helpful in my processing of my healing journey. Im hoping to understand this slice of astrology, and hoping it can help me build a more meaningful existence. To better understand myself. Human-to-human: it would be greatly appreciated to know how the planets and stars play roles in my life.

I’m my genuine fun-loving goofy self who loves making friends and chit chatting. I love a good ass laugh. A guy gets interested in me. We talk and get closer, bond, have the same views on life, and starting dating or whatever.

Then little things I do get questioned (for reasons I didn’t even think of, because I’m not doing anything wrong AT ALL, and my mind hasn’t even gone that route). Then i start having to walk on eggshells to alway make extra effort to reassure that my partner isn’t getting trigged by anything i do i say, so they don’t experience any anxiety, jealousy, or mistrust. All because I love and care for him so deeply,

I did everything he wanted me to do to prove I was faithful. It’s extremely frustrating trying to convince someone to believe me when I say I do not want to hurt you in any way at all. Because I’m committed, and love you. Ultimately it’s not my responsibility to heal your past wounds- but I know support and understanding is all I can give you.

Thennnnn they get increasingly controlling and violate privacy. For an example, one bf went though my iPad, another went through my Apple Watch. I asked a work buddy to take a smoke break w me to bullshit thru text (strictly platonic and are just homies), and he saw it and picked it apart HEAVY.
The other went through MINE(F34) AND MY GAY (M35) NURSE BFF’s TEXT THREAD. ALL OF IT. Just saw we talked a lot of shit and gossiped about old coworkers and then called us assholes. We prefer cunty 💅

Then they don’t like how they feel being with me and then realize it’s their deeeeeep rooted personal insecurities coming to light. Then i get blindsided with a breakup, because they don’t like the jealous and anxious version of themselves. just want to love someone and have my forever best friend. I don’t want fo hurt anyone. I don’t want any friction in relationships. I’m tired of proving to someone I’m worthy of trusting, just because I am a “conventionally good-looking” female.

I don’t know guys. I’m really working on healing as a person and letting things flow (studying Taoism and eastern philosophic). I feel like I’m developing well spiritually.

I’d just love to know how I am as a generalized person- according to the universe ✨🪐🌙
It would be very much appreciated- I love leaving about myself as a human being. Thank you!

TL:DR
I trigger men’s deep rooted untreated trust issues from their past, despite me genuinely trying to get them to realize I’m here for a reason, and I don’t ever want to intentionally cause harm. My intent are true and I just want to be believed. Am I doomed by the stars?

Anyone know of any rentals in or around the Alton area?

Hi!
I am a travel RN about to start a job at a state facility in Alton, requiring me to relocate from Chicago.

Any one have any leads on rentals that are dog friendly? Preferably a house, but I’m open to condos or regular apartments. For rent by owner preferred as well. Anything tips be very much appreciated!
Doesn’t have to be in Alton, just within driving distance (willing to commute at most 45 minutes).
TIA :)
