@Trixie Kay:
oh that does sound good. I used to be obsessed with apple cinnamon based teas. They made me think of my childhood friend. After one day she randomly plucked me from the beach sands in FL and I followed her to her home, where we ate cheese crackers and drank apple cinnamon tea together. Happy memories always make things taste best

@star2000shadow:
Walking is SUCH a good exercise that targets like, every muscle region <3 I used to walk a ton and I was in the best shape from it. I sit so much now that I always ache and my legs are getting fluffy, so recently I'm trying to walk circle laps around the floor at my job just to keep my muscles engaged

I'm glad you're feeling comfortable with yourself to wear dresses again, its a good feeling <33

@Totalanimefan:
Yeah, at the start of the year he was struggling finding a good job (and with depression) but he's doing really well already. I'm so proud ;o;

I'm so sorry to hear about your dog passing. How old?
Aside from that it sounds like you have a lot of good news as well, I'm really glad to hear <3 a fresh new condo sounds super nice! We are currently trying to save up to buy a house but it probably wont be where we're currently living. So might be a bit. This city is still better than where we came from, but its trash
My husband's job offers movers and funds to help if we relocate (and mine does depending on the reason for the move) so like... that feeling of we are NOT stuck here is soooo good, we have so many options <3

@star2000shadow:
Yess please do <3 I check this site infrequently so you'll have to tag me :D
I dont wear dresses a lot, myself, but I do have a love for them

@Trixie Kay:
Oh yay <3
I wonder whats in the christmas tea? maybe the peppermint, if there is? I havent had any in a while (Ive been hooked on this plum honey tea lately) but I know whenever I would get sick, my mom used to make me a tea that had peppermint in it and it would help a lot. especially with sinuses and throat issues.

@star2000shadow:
oooh! That's lovely :D
Yeah phone cameras typically have timers on them! you can set 10 sec timers so you can get a good pic of yourself. I haven't done that in so long, but i probably should to get holiday pics soon with husband and cat xd

@Trixie Kay:
XD didn't taste it but its the idea that counts! lmao
It's really good for soothing your throat, I'm really big on drinking tea any time I'm sick.
Hope you get well soon!

oops I tried to reply yesterday but work got busy xd

@Trixie Kay:
Oh noooo not rona D:::
*offers tea*

@Totalanimefan:
It really has been so horrible, I've been paid federal min wage for almost 2 months. going on 3 at this rate D: Hoping tax season picks me back up in sales.
But my husband's job is doing really well, he's been making up for my losses. He was promoted to keyholder as soon as they could, and just got employee of the month. His bosses really like him. Won't be much longer before he qualifies for promotion ♡

How're you doing?

@star2000shadow:
Helloooo! It's been going good. Excited for xmas
How about you?

As for me, not much new. Just work work work! And struggling with the recession like everyone.

I did have a review with my regional manager yesterday that went well. He usually isn't very nice, but he was yesterday.

Even though we're down in sales as a store, as a region and as a company, I have kept up almost all of my quotas consistently. Which shows that I am doing as good as I can despite the odds, even if I'm still getting paid in dirt cause I'm a commission worker. *sniff*

But eh, that keeps him off my back for a while at least!
I'm grateful that he acted more natural around me, less stiff and mean. Took a lot of stress away.

I also have been doodling a lot these days ♡

Nothing fancy this time, just a little hangout to rattle on about whatever is on your mind!

I have been missing from this site lately again (I think it overall just got real quiet here) so its nice to catch up on how you all are doing!
Have any holiday plans?
How do you like the event?
Have you achieved anything you're really proud of lately? Show and tell!

@Alorrena:
aw, that's so sweet, thank you!

Yeah, i definitely feel that because of things like this, kids should never record themselves anywhere that they can look back on directly like this. Especially now days! The cringe is unbearable lol

I hope I can get this all deleted. Praying hoping waiting for that site's staff to respond to me and see if I can recover the account to remove it! Otherwise I'll just go and report every rude post lol

My friend is lucky, she already deleted her account on that site. Once I delete mine it will all be gone and purged haha

Posted in Struggling with past me [rant] Posted 2 years ago


Ah another note about this, some of the ocs we wanted to rewrite. But alas, if I can't get this content removed from the internet, I'll never be able to post their names publicly in fear of someone searching and finding this junk ;^;

Why did I choose to be so dumbbbb

Posted in Struggling with past me [rant] Posted 2 years ago

Update: I GOT APPROVED TO RECOVER THAT ACCOUNT SO I CAN NUKE IT
yessssssss!! Like throwing horrible old habits into a bonfire, but those habits being mean words on the internet!



My childhood friend and I had reconnected this year after not talking to each other for a really long time. We had a falling out in the past when she did something awful and I lashed out and spat profanities at her, making myself not-much-better. Never thought we would talk again.
I was so angry for a while, then sad for a while, then quiet.
Then this year she popped up, reached out. She is married now, has a child. She explained that she had lost a lot of friendships over the years (me too) and that she realized how rude she used to be and is now on a journey to being a better human. Me too.
Our apologies were short because we already forgave each other a long time ago. We've been fast friends again and it's been very nice, she is someone with a mind very much like my own.

So then we explore our memories, things we lost a long from about a literal decade ago. It was all fun and silly until we actually opened up our old doodles and gaffs. We both cringed and frowned at just how clearly awful we used to be. Horrible, rude, mean.

Maybe I'm seeing it more dramatic than it is, because it is looking at myself. Our humor as children was not far off from the kind of insulting, out of line humor that you'd find in South Park. The jokes we made were not OK and it's probably why our memories just naturally purged it as we matured.

I know that I am very far removed from the child that I was. You're a product of your environment until you decide its wrong, I guess. But it's still so so so unsettling seeing slurs and hate (directed at my ocs but still not ok) in my own old handwriting, thinking it was just a ha ha joke. I hope I never hurt anyone in the past.

I've been overthinking about this for like 2 days now while trying to purge all of it. Still working on some, since it's on old accounts that I have not accessed in 10+ years.

Anyway, this is just a rant.
I'm glad that isn't who I am as an adult. I'm also very glad that my childhood friend has also been removed from that for a long time as well. It still fills me with so much shame. Why was I such an ass? Sure I was bullied but only because I was not nice in the first place!
