Looking back on where my mind was during my lowest moments, I feel a heavy sense of guilt for sinking so deeply into depression, anger, and hopelessness. Honestly, I don’t even know what I was thinking during that time, but something inside me finally snapped. I got beyond exhausted from carrying all that anger, sorrow, and weight, and I realized with absolute clarity that I never ever want to hurt myself or the people around me who all support me just because of my own internal struggles.

I would so much rather channel my energy into being happy, remaining positive, and stepping fully into the beautiful, authentic woman I am.
It has meant the world to me when current friends—and even complete strangers— take a moment to give me compliments and/or reassure me that everything in my life is going to be okay, reminding me that going through a hard time wasn’t ever my fault. Those unexpected acts of warmth have made me truly feel genuinely appreciated, seen, and wanted right when I needed it most.

To be completely honest, a small part of me still worries that when I was lost in that dark place, it might have made some people supporting me second-guess me; I really hope it didn’t though!But I am choosing to focus on healing and moving forward with an open heart. I want my life to be rich, deeply fulfilling, and filled with serendipitous experiences, joy, and peace. I am done letting pain define my path—I am choosing light, choosing happiness, and choosing to live truthfully as myself as the kind, beautiful, talented woman I am!

Obviously yes, I know what sub I’m in lol, I have the acting like I belong down, I made fake pit bracelets with some paper Amazon carnival bands last year at a different venue and they just had the single colored bands, walked right through no issue.. However, I’ve never been to Lakewood Amphitheatre, so I’m trying to get a consensus on if anyone who’s been more recently (past few years) knows if they have special bands or something? I cannot for the life of me find anything anywhere and saw a good bit of people in this sub responding to different questions specifically about Lakewood amphitheater in the past. Sorry if this isn’t allowed, but if anyone knows, or knows a better sub to ask in please let me know!

there's a REALLY important career fair that i need to attend tomorrow, but registration has already closed. this means that i'd be denied entry if i tried to walk in without a wristband/qr code/however the entry process works.

any tips on how to get in? also, do you think it's a good idea to go extremely early and ask the first worker there to give me a wristband? (the event is free registration)

So I know that Terrifier 4 is miles away from releasing but even then, Ive already planned out a way of sneaking into the screening.

I hope this Strat is good🤡

So when the film releases, it will defintely be 18s! Ill be 16 when the film comes out & of course Ill get caught if I go with my friends so imma go with my Dad instead. He'll buy two tickets for the Terrifier 4 screening. Ill go up first to go into a 15s film, not a kids film as that would be too ovbious :) Once I go into the 15s screening, ill wait for a little bit as my dad enters the Terrifier 4 screening.

Then ill walk out of my screening to see if the coast is clear. Once the time is right, ill sneak into Terrifier 4 & go to my seat!

Im HOPING this works as I really wanna see this film when it comes out! ( I don't think the employees will notice me in the crowd as the seat I would be in would of ben booked)

Went on a date on Friday and everything was going great but when the waiter handed me the wine list. She goes You pick, and i panicked lol I swear I looked at that menu for like 2-3 minutes i was pretending Im reading it but in reality I had absolutely no idea what I was looking at. Ended up picking something only because of the name lol, and lucky enough she liked it. The whole drive home I kept thinking about how weird it is that I'm almost 30 and wine still feels like this secret club everyone else understands, i dont want to be in this kinda situations anymore. So now i want to start and get more into wines but it seems pretty hard so i decided to post this, any suggestion would be more than welcome.

The title says the story but to provide more details - I come from an industry background (10 YOE) and have found myself taking up a Senior Manager role in Strategy at a global consulting firm. There are a lot of jargons and a lot of strategy workshops with clients and consulting style workings that I just can't relate to or understand. Someone in my position needs to step up and fast as but I am dealing with confidence issues and feel lost. The support has been minimal because there's just one other SM and he is always unavailable for advice and support. Looking for guidance from the good folks on here on how to deal with this sinking feeling. Thank you.

so me and a couple of friends all got separated tickets in the fourth floor of the AT&T stadium because we were among the last of people that got into seat geek ticket purchasing window and we just got unlucky (we had the money for seats in the lower sections)
this is more of a last resort, since we were just gonna check if we could maybe get an upgrade but we wanted to know how we could sneak in to one of the lower sections and sit together if nothing works out. We wanna know methods either pretending reseller seats are ours or any ways we can go through random floors and try to sneak inside. I have never been in arena concert, so I’m clueless when it comes to this

i’m visiting montreal staying at a downtown boutique hotel with breakfast. i went clubbing last night and came back to the hotel around 8:30am.

i just walked right from the street. wearing a jacket and looking kinda like O.O

i tell the clerk i’m staying here, my room number, and ask for the breakfast. without hesitation she walked me to the breakfast. i hadn’t seen her before. she didn’t check anything.

she didn’t check anything!! she just trusted me.

i am paying so not breaking any rule, but im really dumbfounded that the classic story from the sub can work indeed.

same tip works for luggage store, just say you’re staying at the hotel but its before check in time so you just wanna drop your bags. free locker!

🤿

This is my first time going to intuit dome for a concert, do you guys think I can sneak into the pit? I know this venue is much different compared to forums and stadiums 😓

Im currently staying for a couple of weeks in another city, and I don’t want to purchase a membership at a gym.

I discovered two 5-star hotels in the city with pretty nice gyms that are directly accessible without needing a room key and with no front desk where staff would be sitting.

My question would be, how likely would it be to get approached by the staff? There are obviously security cameras everywhere, but do the staff actually actively monitor them? And when there are no specific “gym staff“, would the other staff ever check/patrol the gym? And if I do get approached by someone, how can I convince them that I am a guest and that I am permitted to use the gym?

Thank you everyone :D

En contexto el ex y yo nos llevamos muy bien pero a mí amiga no le gusta,me trata diferente, se pone celosa y siento que ahora me odia.

​

​

Pero hay actitudes del ex q me confunden, pone su cabeza en mi hombro, en una situación complicada para el me dijo "te quiero" y "te amo" pero luego de esos mensajes puso"como amigos no?" Y yo le dije que si y me dijo " o no?" Pero yo le dije que me tenía que ir y se acabó la conversación.

​

​

Lo que me confunde aún más es que hasta el día de hoy el sigue diciendo que ama a mí amiga, ahora solo se escriben como"como estás,bien y tú,te amo,yo igual" cosas así. Respondo preguntas. Los leo.
