I sacrificed a lot for someone who hurt me for over 8 years, in varying ways. I grew up abused and it set me up for abuse later on because I had no idea what was normal. I almost had a kid with the cunt (thank fuck I made my own money and bought a plan b pill).

But I would never let myself do that again. I know so much more now, about people, the world, and right and wrong. I got extremely lucky my one-night-stand turned out to be my person. We’re better together than we are separately. But if I hadn’t of met my current partner, I think I’d still be single after leaving my ex. Dating seems so dangerous now for vagina-owners (what with the tater-tots and “alpha” male shite).

I’d never change myself ever again for another person. I’d compromise (like quitting smoking), but not on the big things (buying a house, having kids, etc).

I wish I could sing like La Roux. But I just sound like a hippo in heat when I sing.

Still gonna do it though lol

He’d better enjoy your meal

Living here has been amazing, couldn’t recommend it enough tbh.

Which games? Always interested in trying new ones!

On my phone I have Peglin and Slice and Dice. Peglin is a peg/ball, roguelite/like, rpg. Slice and Dice is similar but dice rolls instead of pegs. Iirc they’re like $10 each on the Play Store and that’s it. You get the full game. I think they’re also on PC.

Card Games: I have Slay the Spire on my phone which is a cool game. Again, pay once and you own it.

These games don’t have any micro transactions or anything. I play them all the time! Especially since my partner is using my PC to play Stellaris lol.

Not sure if they’re on the Apple Store though, sorry…

30/50 oof

I have ZERO time for reiki, tarot, psychics or anything to do with crystal energy. I think it’s nonsense and avoid getting to know “believers”. I’m not interested in debate with someone so off the deep end of reality, I feel they’re akin to flat-earthers.

You’d hate my mum hahahah! I do! 😂

That’s fancy as! I don’t think they have that. Maybe a jewellery shop will. But I’ll check this week anyway; I tend to go for walks along Sydney Road so I’ll check :D

They have malachite, Moldavite, and serpentine, from memory. Ill pop down this week and see what they have in stock. I guess it depends what kind of green lol

My mum is extremely spiritual, I grew up learning how to do tarot readings, which crystals have certain energies, aura readings, palm readings, etc.

I don’t believe any of it, all it did was exacerbate her schizophrenia lol.

There is a crystal shop on Sydney Rd now though, and I bought a small garnet because they’re pretty. My inner magpie loves crystals and stones. If you have a specific crystal in mind, I can have a look for you! Let me know!

Lol, why does it matter? I mean, it’s all capitalism anyway; media/ads are just doing it to grab a wider audience and make more money. People are more likely to buy from places that they feel represent them, and the companies profit.

Everything is shades of grey, friend.

Cheers! 🥒🍸

Logistics wise, unsure. But! A cat is the best study buddy. Mickey helped me heaps when I was at UniMelb, and prolly will again when I start TAFE. They just make it that much easier, even when sleeping on the laptop, pressing keys, or swatting all your pens. Good motivators but also good to remind you to take regular breaks, even if it’s a moment to pat them. Idk, it depends on your situation of course, but my mental health is so much better with a furry familiar

The things we do for our cats 😂 she looks so happy!

Fantastic! YOU did this! I’m so proud of you!

I have a Koala base and mattress. Both are fine, no issues. The base is great if moving because you can take it apart easy as; no screws, bolts, springs, just slats of wood. It can be put together by one person, but two makes it soooo much easier. The mattress has been fine, no issues with it. I think it’s foam? No springs.

The heater’s on,
The cat is warm,
Wrapped up in the things that
Smell like me;
The greatest compliment a cat
Could ever give a monkey.

😬

You haven’t had good Prosecco, methinks. That, or you don’t have it when you’re drunk enough. Tsk tsk lol

Hm, that is a doozy. Only you can answer that one, I think. Be true to yourself.

I know for some, having their own biological children is important to them, and for other’s, less so. It’s also important to consider what these Hypothetical Step-Children (HSP (lol)) think as well.

But finding love is hard, and like with all choices, there’ll be pros and cons with whatever is picked.

You don’t have to decide right now, so take your time and see what happens 🤷‍♀️
