yeah see, you get it.
Even if we don't see eye to eye, i can always feel confident in myself to express my thoughts and not feel judged for them, so thank you friend. <3
But you're absolutely right. I like to show kindness in other ways and for me tough love is pretty important to better an individual.
Basically i am there for you for as much as i can be but people have to be willing to do the rest of the work and i am not going to feel bad if they fall short.
We all live individual lives and how someone feels about something is not necessarily my problem unless i let it be.
I choose not to let it be. I do give in from time to time. I do care about people to a certain degree, but it's hard to feel bad for people who put themselves in their position yknow.
Obviously someone who has trauma is a little bit different, but it's all situational.
At least for me.
I'm not strict on myself when it comes to this tho, I do try my best to be a little bit more empathetic and sympathetic to others because some people just really need the comfort, and we are all in different stages in life and humans are very fluid and always changing.
But no matter what trauma you have or what your issues are, you shouldn't use them as reasons to be intolerable to others. That's just simply how i feel about that.
My opinions and course of actions tend to leave me pretty bare in the friendship department tho.

uh yeah actually all the time. I don't mean to make someone uncomfy by it though.
Im just a rather straightforward person and don't like to beat around the bush.
I try to be understanding, but i also like to resolve issues and don't like to coddle people's emotions.
Especially if it doesn't benefit either party. My outlook on life is always on an incline and i can't afford to have people who aren't also on an incline to take up my time.
So for the most part, i will try to understand everyone's boundaries but if someone isn't willing to work on their problems or themselves and have no goal in mind to change their attitude towards something, then i easily drop people out of the equation because i gotta be able to sleep well at the end of the day without worrying about someone else and their feelings.
I've told you before, i believe, that im not entirely nice and there's some selfishness to how i go about things.
Some people i have a little bit more patience for, but im just at that point in my life that i am understanding that not every person you meet is meant to stay and some people are just meant to be stepping stones to build character.

maybe someone should suggest to management to gift out some self-care baskets every now and then loool
It wouldn't be so awful if there was a little bit of a rule saying that people must come to work hygienic as to not distract others too lol.

but i do think you're smart, you're always very insightful and you stimulate me intellectually on top of genuinely being rather knowledgeable.

aw you always have the sweetest things to say redface
thank you..! i don't deserve you. <3

you do a lot of the same things my husband does but he takes care of all the hands-on things.
I hear horror stories about the IT department lol
i can't imagine it smells too fresh in there.
I truly don't understand the Geek trope and having to stink. Surely you can shower still and like computers! I'm sorry you have to put up with that but your job does sound interesting and as long as you find it fulfilling to you then it's all that matters. You must be very smart to take up such a career. Also pharmaceuticals? What a smarty-pants 3nodding

that sounds really nice actually..! Im sorry you don't feel well. Please rest lots and stay as hydrated as possible and don't forget to take care of yourself and take any meds if you have it okay?
I haven't really had time to do much of anything this month, i've been very exhausted taking care of the kiddos bc my youngest has been sick all month long.

honestly people think we are so privileged because of our economy and politics but we lack in basic human fundamentals and on top of that, we suffer in our own ways and this is the norm for us, so it has it's own cons and life in general is just simply hard.
But it's okay, I am doing my best..! I am still more fortunate than most, so i shouldn't complain too much.

yeah so if i do take the kids to the doctor, i have to ask for a note to send with them to school.
But insurance isn't very cheap and sometimes i don't have insurance for them and/or they aren't sick enough to take to a doctor and whatever else.
I have to send in written notes but they only take up to 5 of those excuses and after that it has to be all doctors notes.

Last year my kids didn't have insurance so i wasn't able to excuse all of my son's missing days and that's why they threatened to take me to court over it.
They will let me get notes for those days but doctors will not give you notes if you weren't there recently so it was just kinda outta my hands tbh.
I have to force the kids to go to school even if they're really sick unless they have a fever which is the only time they're allowed to stay home by the school's standards.
It's just annoying honestly.

yeah it's so ridiculous honestly and you have to have a good reason why your child has missed so many days.
They don't really care if they're all sick days, you need to provide proof they were sick and whatnot or pay a bunch of fees, otherwise jail or even have your kids taken away from you.
They consider just about anything neglect now. confused

aww thank you friend, i think about you all the time as well and thats okay that you're more busy now. I seen your statuses. I understand..!

also yeah but in the united states, if your child misses more than 10 days of school, you can go to jail.
school is mandatory and missing too many days can also keep your child from getting promoted to the next grade level.
It's very annoying dealing with it. I got in trouble last year because my oldest son was sick too many days.
Really stresses me out, honestly.

aw madpad i miss you..!
yeah he's not been feeling well and it's been a month long battle. He keeps getting sick and then on sunday night, he was crying nonstop and couldn't breathe or lay comfortably due to pain in his chest.
I finally had to take him to the hospital because i had a feeling it was more than just a cold.
Pain reliever wasn't helping alleviate his fever and pain so he had to go.
He's feeling much better today but the school doesn't like when he's home so often, even if it's because he's sick.
So it's been rather annoying and anxiety inducing for me lately.

Glad I'm not the only one who's still finding new items and constantly updating his wishlist just to record them. The possibilities are endless and what's even more disheartening is that some of these good items are so unlimited. Like I'm not raising 25Million plat for one Adventure time item...as much as I'd love it. I've been winging it by watching what others have, hopefully finding them with equipped lists and then cobbling together items, but an extensive guide like the one you posted is definitely welcomed.

If only I weren't too keen on hoarding plat, but I might just part with a few hundred K to atleast diversify my itemlist and make new avatars, hopefully on the level of yours and the others I've faved over this year.
Much thanks for the encouragement and inspiration.

The way the ribcage item lined up perfectly with the deer's hide to make it look like part of it's skeletal system...well, I just HAD to go and find items to pair it with and create this rather morose looking piece.
But It's just another awe inspiring way in which avatars and avatar creation has grown, leaps and bounds since they made these items more dynamic.
Glad you appreciate it, since I'm in awe of damn near anything you've made.
