I am a bit depressed recently, but I am very proud of how I am handling things. Old me would be loosing it, self destructing and giving up. While I am not feeling great I think I am managing things quite well and I am very proud of my new found resilience.

I’ve had such a gratitude flowing through me lately and I love to tell all the people in my life just how grateful I am for them. I truly am lucky to live the life I do even with its sadness and shortcomings. I’m very grateful of all you nonas for sharing your positivity and stories.

Years ago I posted in a vent thread that I saw no reason to keep making art or even trying anything at life, that I hated everything I did, I was a very dark time at my life and I would have never posted about it besides here. A very kind nonnie replied and I remember it helped me to read her reply. Years later I am very happy, better than ever. I hope that nonnie is happy and motivated in her life too. I am very grateful for lc, it can be annoying, full of infights and baits, but there is a lot of good too. I've seen a lot of support and it warms my heart that people can be nice to each other even anonymously. I try to keep my posts helpful and positive because some nonnies really helped me and they'll never know that, so I hope I can help others too.

I'm becoming genuine friends with some of my coworkers and it's so wonderful, I can feel my walls breaking down with each positive interaction I have and good connections I make with people. Even since I was little I've had poor self-esteem, and after a very bad relationship in adulthood all of the negative thoughts about myself were confirmed in my mind; I thought I was embarrassing, annoying, abnormal and unlovable. Ever since then I was very uncomfortable when people were kind to me because I thought they must either have an ulterior motive or were just being polite while secretly thinking I was awful, because why on earth would they waste their time on someone like me otherwise? But these coworkers are confiding in me, calling me their friend, inviting me to their homes, and while it is still very much a foreign feeling I am getting used to it bit by bit and learning to accept their kindness. I am a good person with a fun personality. I'm healing.

Basically nothing nice happened in my life during the course of 2 years of working at this place, and suddenly a lot happened in the span of just two days and I can't process it. A year ago my boss didn't want to give me a contract and a promotion. Yesterday she suddenly told me she will give me the contract and promotion and she already started the procedures and she congratulated me. The general manager also congratulated me wtf. Today our boss made a meeting and announced she's leaving for a different job and she will only be with us for 1 month before leaving. Forever. I've been working so hard and wageslaving and dreaming about better money and when I finally gave up and I was sure I won't get it, I got it, and on top of that, the boss I was always afraid of just… won't be with us anymore. I'm lying now in my bed and I can't sleep. Like, I will have money for a decent living. Finally. I had to live in shitty conditions in a city where it's extremely hard to rent a place and now I will be able to afford something better. Also better food, better clothes. Some travelling. Art supplies for my hobby. I won't have to worry about working hours anymore. Basic shit I know, but I never had that before. And I won't have to worry about my narc boss anymore. I never had good experiences with her and now I'm kinda surprised she decided to 'secure' me just before leaving and I don't know how to feel about it??? Like I never liked her but I'm also grateful? WTF… Anyway I should be sleeping a long time ago but I just can't I think about money and how much pain and hard work I've been through to get to this place, especially as an asocial person. Also thinking about all the toys I'm going to buy. I'm also planning a 1 week vacation in Paris with my friend. Fuck, IMAGINE starting your life in your late 20s. It took me so long but I finally feel more secure and like I can focus on myself more, not on shitty school, not on taking care of my sick mom who already died. Living far away from my toxic family. Not wageslaving. With more money for myself. And only starting to form any kind of bonds with other human beings in my late 20s. I know it's late but I never had that before and I feel like I only started living from now, I only started learning adult skills. FUCK I've waited so long for this! I should be simply happy right? Then why I feel like screaming and hitting myself in the head and calling my family and screaming at them HAHA FUCK YOU I MADE THIS WITHOUT YOUR HELP. I need to calm down. Please god don't let me ruin this and please let it be real. I want to go apeshit

I picked up an AMAZING find at Goodwill. It's a Edwardian riding habit. I am so hype that I am going to buy a fancy hat to go with it and then have tea in the park with my historian gals. The only problem is that this thing is so tiny. Seriously, I am already small, but if I gain only two more pounds, I will not be able to fit in this. I wonder if a seamstress could alter it for me so that I can comfortably wear it even if I'm bloated that day, but I kinda doubt it because it does not seem like it has enough give.
Still, one of the greatest finds ever.

i want to thank all the kind anons on this website who support and help and root for each other. i’m really grateful for the support i’ve gotten and it has made these days easier for me and made me feel less alone.
thank you from the bottom of my heart, kind anons. i wish you all the absolute best and hope you have a wonderful day.

I started a new tumblr a month ago after not being on there for eons. I only post my own photography and follow other photography and nature accounts. Some of them have even followed me back! It feels so nice to have a dashboard full with beautiful landscapes, positive + hopeful quotes, and the occasional cat video and not having to worry about stupid gender politics or other negative things. Today a photographer lady followed me and it made me smile! I followed her back and i hope it made her smile too! The photos i post get likes, i don't have to worry about weird moid interactions, and just the serenity of it all makes me actively try to put more energy in my photography as a result. It's awesome!

i made my first ever best friend (and only friend since elementary)! he's a turbo autist like me and we video call every day and talk for a couple hours about random things we are interested in like aliens, dolphin language, how to summon spirits, evolution, etc. i like how its simply a friendship based on interests, i feel comfortable talking like I've known him forever. we don't talk about personal stuff so we don't really know anything about each other (and i hope it stays that way). he doesn't point out or make fun of my awkward and nervous way of speaking or my horrible conversational skills. also he didn't ask me to make a social media account to talk on, so we just email. im so happy, i haven't had a friend in so many years. i hope things stay this way forever.

No. 1728422
I am such a lucky bastard when it comes to my pets, holy hell.
Three dogs, all from the shelter. One I got as a pet for my first dog. They hit it off, they loved each other. Sadly my first dog had a horrible accident. Did the thing you shouldn't do, got my dog another pet dog two months later. Hit it off, love each other.
Now I had to get some barn cats. Again went to the shelter and picked up two brothers. Were house cats, so a lot was up in the air.
They immediately took to the outside, made everything their own. My two dogs don't bother them (they even learned to leave the chickens) so they're coexisting. The cats won't touch the chickens either.
I'm so so fucking lucky. Every adoption could've gone horrible. And yeah, all of them are fucking weird. My one dog (100% village dog) likes just chilling on the upper floor of my house. She does her own thing. Her pet dog I got (German shepherd /Russian farm dog/golden) is just at my side. Never a leash needed, can work outside on the farm no worries. He'll just be here. Hell, if I ever cry, both are at my side and won't leave me alone with licks and paws..
I'm so fucking lucky and I love them all so damn much. I do also hope they love their lives too. By the way they want to please and come running, and are always up for adventure.. I really hope they do too.

I've been really into cooking healthy and cheap meals, and been improving my cooking skills and nutrition knowledge. Today I made an easy quick veggie soup. I used bone broth that I made myself and had frozen, tomatoes, a sweet potato, peas, kidney beans, and lentils. Along with thyme, basil, black pepper, and garlic. After it was done cooking I tasted it and it tasted just like chili. No meat but just as much protein as meat. It's cold outside so it's nice to have a warm, nutritious veggie chili today! And I made enough to last the week. It can even be frozen for a longer time if I want.

I’ve been rereading the Bell Jar in a depressive funk. and when I read this passage it just struck me in such a way. This is almost exactly how I’ve been stuck looking at life. But with this introspection I’ve found so much joy because no longer feel so paralyzed in the things I want to do in life! I only have one life why waste it just wanting and wishing when I could actually live it? Why be cornered into just one talent or passion in life when I can be a renaissance woman? Can’t believe a seemingly negative book passage can inspire me so much. I hope we all eat as many figs as we want and reach for the stars

I'm glad that getting older has made me more accepting of my face. When I was younger, I wanted to get a nose job and cheek fillers. I'm slightly slightly older and I'm glad I didn't do anything to my face. I did get botox on multiple parts of my face a few months ago, but it didn't do anything to change my face outside of making my TMJ headaches easier to deal with (but I guess that was the point). I still feel insecure about the way I look but, it's no longer to the point of wanting to change it.

I finally found the courage and told my abusive boyfriend that I'm leaving him. It's over… On one hand, I'm nervous about the potential fallout, but on the other hand, I'm free! No more living as though I was under a dictatorship. No man is going to lay his hands on me again, either in violence or in lust… Wahoo!! I am going to cherish my life because I now know that it's worth a lot more than giving up to a guy who regularly throws tantrums over video games that he doesn't like (and even ones that he does, what the heck).
I'm still damaged from the experience, but I know I'm young and hopefully have a long life ahead of me. It will be ok. I want to use what I learned to help other women. I love you all.

I had to visit my parents for some days and I'm so happy to be back at my own place again. Sure, it's a shithole, but I don't have to deal with my mother here, I don't have to see her face or hear her voice, I can just sit in my own flat and enjoy some peace and silence.

Tried a grocery bakery goodie bag today. It was around the cost of a box of croissants and was supposed to contain around 15-20$ worth of stuff close to sell by date. So glad I did! I got the croissants I originally wanted, fancy chocolate croissants, and a box of donuts.

>>1866888Correct yourself in the moment when a negative thought enters and say the opposite to yourself. A healthy dose of delulu might help (if you're like me and naturally think "I'm just being reasonable/practical"). Overthinking? Disrupt that thought spiral with a "is it that deep?". Sounds daft but many a time I've ended up giggling at how worried I was about a thing that in perspective, isn't that big a deal. Start listening to more upbeat music, both in melody and lyrics. If you watch negative media; news, crime shows, sad documentaries, curtail that. Practice gratitude if you don't already. Having a coffee that you love? Really appreciate that. It's easy to build up with the tiny things we take for granted. Hopefully something here will resonate/help

I'm not very experienced with men, I had only two make out sessions in my life with two different guys; just touching and kissing. And it's amazing how different it felt the second time. The first one was terrible, the guy immediately went for touching my breasts and my ass and trying to stick his fingers in my pants, and I was too paralyzed and confused to stop him, I just froze, his touch was aggressive and horny, I felt no love in it, it was just like kneading a fucking piece of dough, not touching another human, he kissed me on the lips and tried to go for a deeper kiss but I felt too disgusted to let him, his mouth smelled, his teeth weren't really clean, he was sweaty, just uhghhhh terrible experience that left me feeling dirty inside and out and I was afraid every next one would be the same. That it just is
that way. I stopped seeing that guy over a year ago, and two days ago I went on a date with my coworker whom I had a crush on for a longer time (and find out he also liked me a lot) and I really wanted to meet him. That was out second meeting in a private setting overall. We talked for literally 7 hours, like the whole night. And then we were just staring at each other in silence and touching hands. And then he leaned for a kiss. At first it was just two delicate kisses but I just melted into it and let him in, even though I was so, so afraid that it would be disgusting. He put his tounge in my mouth and I felt like it was such an invasive and strange sensation but… for some reason it just didn't feel bad. There was no taste and no smell. To my surprise, I wasn't even disgusted by the saliva (normally I have a problem with that in everyday life and I wouldn't even share a bottle with one person kek). I was so overwhelmed I started breathing so heavily and loud and he gave me some time, he asked if everything was all right, told me to take a deep breath etc. And then again. He also started touching me but he never tried to touch more intimate parts of my body like my breasts or ass, just my back, arms, ribs, and he was way more delicate and subtle and it felt like caressing, like he was actually touching me as a person, his kisses on my neck weren't painful like the other guy either, just the right amount of pressure. I just didn't want it to end. Besides feeling shocked that it was so pleasurable although strange, I also felt surprised that it was as if he just knew how to touch me, without me telling him anything, like he knew my body. Well I'm a touch starved autist who was never hugged and after my first experience with a dude I was SO sure it would always be just disgusting and unpleasant and objectifying and there's no point in trying again, but this, this felt so different and good. I never went through "that" phase as a teenager and now I'm in my late 20s and it's the first time in my life I experience something like this. Fuckkkk I never thought I could actually experience it and take pleasure from it, my life is altered. What is this magic???

>>1871059Just don't push yourself too hard at the start, if you aren't used to going to the gym it can be a bit intimidating so consider the days you actually go a victory even if you're just there for 20 minutes. It's better to get the habit to just go rather than skip, because every time you skip in a row will just make it harder.
Just phasing in the habit is a pretty good start so it won't feel overwhelming, at least that's what worked for me so I could get consistent without feeling guilty. You can do it nona, I wish you all the luck!

Been trying on some clothes this week to wear to work that I haven't worn in a while and I've been shocked at how big they've gotten on me since the last time I wore them. The skirt I have on today barely fit me last year even when I had shape wear on—now it's almost too big.

There is a niche topic that I've had a sort of affinity/fixation with for since I was a kid and I was always very sad that nobody else cared or knew anything about it (I don't really want to say what it is in case I'm identifiable by it). I had an awful ex bf who, among genuine abuses and violent behavior, would call me annoying for it and sneer that I need to curb my autism because nobody cares and constantly told me to shut up because everything I ever said was retarded.
Well, I met someone with the same interest, in fact he seems to be more into it than me. It's so cool that I can bring up a part of it and instead of being met with indifference or confusion or mocking, he already knows what I'm talking about and gets excited with me. So there, I managed to meet someone with the same flavor of autism as me, and he listens carefully and finds my input to be interesting and intelligent, and the other guy's life is a miserable lonely mess because he's a jerk who puts down everyone.

Went to the used bookstore and got a cute hardcover book for $6. Originally published in 1991 and has like dozens of full color photos of cats at work. It’s called Cats at Work, kek. It’s a bunch of cats who are “employed” by diff businesses in NYC at the time. Super adorable, it makes me happy. This pharmacy still is in business, I wonder if they still have a pharm tech kitty?

I'm officially in my bossbabe/hotwoman era and I'm thriving in it. I found a salaried management job where (it feels) I barely work and do shit. So I actually have the energy and time to go to the gym and socialize.
Men and women alike hit me up. I'm noticed more. Men offer to pay me to go on dates with them/sleep with them whereas before I was pickme supreme getting dolled up to pay gas and dinner to hang with men who wouldn't do anything for me including being nice. People call me goddess now. They tell me I have value and I'm different.
For the first time in my life I don't feel mentally ill.
My schedule is actually booked with shit to do on the weekly and now I barely use lolcow.

I think I've changed his mind on anime at least, which I'm really happy about. He used to associate it strictly with the coomer stuff for the straight male demographic but I've opened his eyes to vintage + old school shoujo kino. I've considered introducing him to BL visual novels but I feel like that's a little too far.

I went to a bridal shower for one of my friends yesterday (two of them are getting married this month or early next month) and it was SO MUCH FUN. It was a tea party in a state museum. My best friend drove me because I hate parallel parking in the city and we had so much fun hanging out!! I tried a macaroon for my first time and it was so good, it was raspberry flavor. Afterwards we walked her dog and then she came over to my new apartment to hang out. We watched documentaries and talked for 7 hours about literally everything under the sun. I haven’t had a tight friend group of normal, genuinely nice people since sportsball in college because I moved across the country and didn’t know anyone besides family. Feeling so grateful and happy to have them all in my life. I love playing board games on the weekends with them and when we gather for friendsmas & friendsgiving. They don’t look down on me for being kinda shy and dressing sporty. I look up to them a bunch and I can’t wait to have enough saved so that we can maybe do a roadtrip in the summer to the coast. I feel like all the shitty things that happened to me and pushing through struggles with my health are finally paying off. My friend even told me that she looked up to me a lot yesterday and I cried it meant so much. I love these ladies bunches and I hope I get to help out when they have kiddos. I just gotta get this stupid surgery scheduled for my intestines, and I feel less afraid about it now because of the nonnas that gave me support in the confessions thread a while back, and I know my friends will be there for me when I wake up after. Even the weather feels like it’s celebrating with me. It’s fun to be alive again and I’m going to keep working hard so it stays that way!! I love you ladies and I hope you all get the things you want, I hope you all are safe and treated kindly by the people in your lives, because you fucking deserve it!! Keep fighting for your happiness girls, don’t you give up. You’ve got this!!!

I think life may be looking up for me after all. I've basically spent all four years of college severely depressed. I have been dependent on marijuana and I have smoked every day for four years. I have reduced my usage to just once a day before bed. Today I decided to schedule appointments with a therapist, dentist (to care for my depression teeth), and an optometrist (because I have spent so long hating my appearance due to ugly glasses– I am going to get contacts). I feel like life might actually not be so bad after all. I think about killing myself every day, but today I thought I could possibly make a change given that I graduate in May. I know it has only been a few hours, but I feel so much better and more hopeful. I also have deleted IG and TikTok (I know….) from my phone and deleted the accounts. I plan to take up more time for my hobbies and try to make some female friends. I am excited for what is to come, friends. Thank you for listening.

>>1939979Well let's celebrate all that nona! Picrel. Good for you. I was in the same boat as you at one point in my life, smoking a HQ every day and just doping myself up because I didn't wanna deal with my problems like an adult, but just like you I eventually decided to woman up and take care of myself, just like you have. It might be hard now, but trust in the process because it is going to continue to improve. Quitting marihuana completely helped my symptoms of depression, to the point where I wonder now why the hell I was even smoking dope in the first place. I always tell this to people but pot is the ultimate mind-kiler, we think it helps us but it doesn't. Nowadays I only smoke maybe once every few months when me and my friends get together and decide to go to a buffet kek.
>I think about killing myself every day.That too will pass. You shouldn't kill yourself just because we all already will die on our body's own accord, why fuck up the natural process and do it ourselves? Life is too good and the world is too big to end it this early nona. Your therapist is gonna help you out big time.

I love my cat so much, and he always reminds me with his little cat body language that I am loved and not alone. I love his little tail quivers/vibrations when he meets me as I get through the door in the evening, I love his little cat kisses, I love how he now lies beside me at the bed head, turning his little belly upp in the air with a loud sigh after washing himself. All signs that he is safe, happy and relaxed.
I love how whenever I feel like an unlovable waste of space I can pick him up and cradle him in my arms while he softly purrs, or whenever I'm having a rough night I can call for him to come and let me hug him for a while. I just love the bond we share and I wish I could take him everywhere with me like an emotional support animal.

There are feral cats that live in the parking lot of my building. They are scared of and rarely get close to people, but I've been feeding them every day and the biggest one is becoming friendlier to me. He will walk very close to me whenever he sees me in the parking lot, but won't let me within petting distance. When he sees me he usually hisses, so I started to meow back at him hoping he'll pick it up. Today was the first time he actually meowed! It was a little bit squeaky but also funny because once he discovered he could, he kept meowing at me until I set his food down. I'm so happy about this and I hope all the cats can reach this level soon.

I'm very happy with how my life is right now. It's nothing special. I go to work, I come home, I read and research topics that are very interesting to me. Sometimes I call my friends or have dinner with them. I have one online friend who I love so much and feel truly understands me. I have a hyperfixation on some historical man who I love more with more feeling than any man I meet could probably elicit in me.
Sure, there are things that happen that stress me out on occasion, but these feelings don't overwhemingly destroy my mood anymore. It's like I don't care about anything anymore, but in a good way? As long as I can read and research my favorite topics and talk to my online friend, I could care less about anything else. Now that it's warmer, I want to go hiking more too. I don't care if life is meaningless or what my purpose is. Those little things make my life feel very full. I hope this feeling can last for a long time.

I think I hit the jackpot with my brother. I love him so much and I really think he's the world's best brother ever. It's crazy to me when I see other people's brothers and they're all such vile beastly moids. I hate all moids on the planet but my brother really is the only moid I love and care about. First of all, he's gay so none of the degeneracy of most moids. He's not like the other disgusting degen gay moids either that only care about gross fetishes and hate monogamy. In fact, he hates most other gay moids and thinks they're either vile, or cringe. He has normal taste in guys, thank god kek. We actually have similar tastes. Anyway, he's just a sweet and gentle dude who happens to experience same-sex attraction and wants to find his one true love and have a cute family kek. He's also not misogynistic like other gay moids tend to be. He's a gentle soul and super kind to everyone. He also never let peer pressure get to him and always held his own. He's intelligent as hell, and always has been since a young age. Even at 8 he was intelligent and I could talk to him easily about more complicated things. He's really kind too (sometimes too kind, worries me sometimes). He's my closest friend and we can talk to each other about anything at all. There's nothing we can't tell each other. He's the only person I can talk to about gc stuff and hating trannies. He's super kind and is always helping me out with things, and he's super caring too. Sometimes he acts like he's the older sibling kek, he gives good advice, and if I get sick or injured he'll immediately come to take care of me. But he's also funny as hell (genuinely funny, not the shitty tiktok zoomer 'humour') and we joke around alot and have fun hanging out watching movies or playing games. He's always thanking me for being his big sister and saying if it wasn't for me, he could've turned out like other moids, but I don't think so. I truly think he's a special soul and I'm glad I got him as a brother. I think there are probably less than 100 moids on the planet like him. The rest of my family is insane and if he was a regular moid brother, I probably would have lost my sanity long ago. It's nice to have a sibling who's also your best friend. I don't have kids and am not interested in having any either but he's kind of like a son to me, I guess. I enjoyed raising him, and I think I raised him well. I'm so proud of him kek.

I just wanted to share a small private victory: I went bowling tonight and I didn’t drink. I’ve never actually gone bowling as an adult WITHOUT having a beer. I was worried tonight would be a struggle. Somehow, though, when my friends at the other lane ordered a pitcher I had the willpower to not grab a glass. Last week while playing with friends, I had two large mugs, which was enough to make me feel hot, sweaty, irritable and frustrated with my game by the end. But tonight, I had an iced tea and a Diet Coke and ended the night laughing and cracking jokes. I’m tired of being a grumpy, chubby alcoholic and I’m sick of not recognizing myself in pictures. I’m excited to get my mind and body back. I already kicked nicotine’s ass, I can do this too.

Just 2 years ago I had the worst eating habits you could imagine - all I was eating was ramen, frozen pizza, chicken nuggets, tomatoes and these instant soups you make by adding hot water. It wasn't even because of poverty but because I was a disorganized and confused college freshman who had no idea how to live on her own while juggling house tasks and college. But as I opened the fridge today I realized how much I've improved in this regard - it's filled with fruits, vegetables, eggs, fish, juices and healthy meals I plan and cook every week. I may still be struggling in many other areas of my life but I'll still celebrate every small step in the right direction and I'm so happy that at least in this department I managed to make such a huge improvement.

My dog is Mr. Congeniality wherever we go and in our neighborhood. We have a geriatric neighbor that whistles for my dog, and if my dog is outside with my mom in the garden, he will go over and greet the old man. Everyone loves him, he's so friendly, playful, and well-mannered. Even though he is a traditionally 'intimidating' breed he was actually cross-bred with a golden so he has very soft bitch characteristics which add to his likeability.
He is my first ever dog so I took a lot of care into training him and I'm so proud of his temperament. It feels a little like having a very mannered kid that everyone compliments kek. Growing up I never liked dogs because my cousin's dogs for instance were poorly trained, ugly, and annoying fucking shits who got shoved down my throat at family holidays and gatherings. I didn't know great dogs existed outside of movies.
Who knew with the correct boundaries, interaction, and love that a dog could make a great companion? I care about and love him so much and I'm so proud of him!

getting into the hobby of having pet isopods has brought so much joy into my life. my friend randomly spurred a colony onto me when hers were overcrowding, and i was unsure about taking them, but i have always loved bugs and especially roly polys, so i decided to go for it. now i have my original colony that is absolutely thriving and has had many generations of pods, and a new wild caught colony as well that are just now starting to breed which has been so so fun and exciting.
i think it really nurtures a feeling of childlike wonder in me. when i was little, there was an isopod colony living in a thing of old wood near my house. i loved sitting and watching them go about their tiny lives. they've always been one of my favorite bugs. now i have cultivated these little worlds for them, really high quality, well kept environments where they are completely free of predators or stress and can simply enjoy themselves and eat repashy morning wood and run around. i love how much personality they seem to have and how they interact with eachother. i love watching them get so hype when i refresh their enclosure or give them special snacks. i love how their babies just look like microscopically tiny versions of the adults. how fucking cute. my nigel and i just stand and watch them together all the time. they are all so special to me and i love them.

I love receiving art from kids even if it's made with markers kek, reminds me of when I was little and would look up to the based gen x fujo artists back in the early and mid 00s.

I had a phase of my life where I realized that this inner image of a younger me that I protected was truly dead for an entire year. My heart was absolutely shattered thinking about how I failed to protect her, and how in my head there was only an empty bed left behind in my old room. I think I've finally moved on, I think she's in a better place now, and whatever I'll be doing in the future is for her memory. Even if I don't believe in what she believed in, I just want to do it anyways to show her that she wasn't stupid, and that she wasn't wrong. If my pessimistic world view is enforced from my experiences, I'll stay strong for that memory of a younger me to show her that love can and will solve things.

I've had my laptop since 2017 and it still works just as well since they day I got it, nothing broken at all and super fast even while running heavy applications. And this is even with me using it probably 6+ hours a day every day since 2017, lugging it around in my backpack all through college, and dropping it on the floor dozens of times. This laptop is so amazing that I almost feel unworthy of it. I wish computers were sentient so I could thank her.

>>2107178Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 Carbon may be one of the best business laptops you can get your hands on. This isn’t your average laptop. It’s a high-end product that combines the latest Intel hardware with a lot of extra touches that make it just nice to use. It incorporates carbon fiber to make it more lightweight and durable. Of course, it also costs more than a typical thin and light machine, and the CPU performance [REDACTED FOR NEGATIVITY].

recently got information that my shitty ex is suffering in the same shitty apartment with the same shitty neighbors and landlord. SEVEN YEARS he's been getting bit by bedbugs and having his place infested by roaches. I got out of there because of him, and I see he's complaining about the domestic violence and drug use that the neighbors are into, and it makes me laugh, thinking he thinks he's better than them, when the only difference is he's white and younger, he's still an immature emotional hyper-angry shithead, and he's still suffering in the same place. I am living for this. Can't share this with "friends" because I haven't given them the full extent of what happened, just that he's my ex and I left him. I love it. Schadenfreude for the win

After years of recovery from 2 really traumatic relationships, I finally feel whole again and not like im just worth my body. I have made so many strides within the past few months. Im finally in a healthy relationship, Im going back to school next month, I applied for case management and Im now able to sit with my emotions and be kind to myself instead of punishing myself and my body.
To top it off, both of my ex's are miserable. One has barely any hair left, is dating a fat moid, and is stuck working at a grocery store where he talks shit about my family and I to his coworkers. The other one is a fat, druggie, wannabe standup comedian on the verge of suicide. I always thought that I would never find happiness because those relationship's made me feel so worthless and unlovable, but now I think karma is real. Im so happy to be alive again

Last night I had a hard discussion with my mother and we wound up crying together and our relationship is stronger. I thought she knew about my SA (COCSA) because of how long ago it was and the circumstances surrounding it, but nobody did. Apparently, her mom (my grandma) didn't tell her anything. Or anyone else. And I already forgive my grandma. Kids do kid things, it was the shame that I carried for almost 20 something years of my life that changed me so much, and then the feeling of being used that affected me so deeply. My mom told me that if anybody had known, "we would have defended and protected you and been in your corner" and that if my little brother knew he would have "shot that motherfucker" so … That's enough for me. Knowing that it wasn't that they didn't care, but that they didn't KNOW? I can forgive them all. I can also move on now. I had worked through that shame, and it kept bothering me because I believed my parents wanted me to get over it, or that it wasn't a big deal. But they actually… didn't… know. Whew.

NONNIES I JUST PAID $523 FOR ROUNDTRIP TICKETS FROM NYC TO TOKYO!!!!!!! FOR JAPAN AIRLINES TOO!!!
I've never gotten such a deal and it's been 5 years since I've gone back so I'm super excited to go! None of my friends are available to go but I couldn't skip out on these cheap tickets… I lived there for a year on my own for study abroad so I'm very familiar and comfortable traveling around on my own so I'm only a little bit nervous but extremely excited! I'm going to try to meet up with my old college friends too!!! The airbnb won't be the cheapest since I'm not splitting it but the airfare is so dirt cheap that it just evens itself out.

>>2149455Pure stupid dumb luck!! The fare was actually $823, which I still think is a massive steal especially considering it's a direct flight into Haneda, in regular economy. American Airlines offered a $700 roundtrip ticket but it was in basic economy only. I got it down to $523 because my credit card has a $300 travel credit that expires at the end of the year that I have to use. I was looking through my credit card's travel portal (have to book through their travel portal to use the credit) and I was thoroughly expecting to get scammed with high prices or just pay my regular $1200 fare (minus the $300). Even prepandemic I never saw tickets as low as $800 unless it had long layovers or was for something like China Airlines. I'm truly dumbfounded that I got these tickets. I saw $1100 tickets for JAL on expedia and I even thought that was a steal!! I could've paid nothing for the flight since I had enough miles to cover the remainder of my fare but I'm opting to transfer out my miles to a partner to get more value out of them.
I have the Capital One Venture X card if anyone is curious. There is a $450 annual fee I think out of most travel cards, it's easier to earn back your fee compared to other cards.Only flights in Oct/Nov were this low, everything December onwards was regular pricing. I really can't figure out why they were so cheap. It works out since I like to visit any season outside of summer kek.
>>2149417I haven't figured out an itinerary yet… I really should figure something out kek. I definitely want to visit all of my old stomping grounds and I'm hoping to stay in Ikebukuro since that's my favorite neighborhood and I hung out there quite a bit as a student. I'll meander through all the touristy spots like Harajuku and Asakusa and Shibuya because why not? Even though I've been there multiple times I still like going. There's also lots of spots I just somehow never visited like the Imperial Gardens!
I think for a first trip you absolutely can't go wrong with Tokyo. I think it's fun to come and experience Japan and hit up all the famous spots and do fun touristy things. Maybe take the shinkansen to Osaka/Kyoto if you plan to stay for 2 weeks and do a week in both cities. I know people love that 'off the beaten path' stuff, and Japan has soooooo much to offer outside of Tokyo… but if it's your first time I think it's definitely worth experiencing!
Even though I lived there for a year I was going through regular young adult dramatics (crippling depression kek) so I missed out on exploring more of those 'off the beaten path' places. I did manage to make it out to a couple of places though! I was adamant about not returning to Tokyo so I could explore more the next time I went back… but alas…! I will still have lots of fun though kek.

I started a skincare routine for the first time ever about a week ago and I'm already so happy with the results. I'm nowhere near where I want to be and I definitely want to change some products, but I can see the texture disappearing from my face and my pores getting smaller so I don't have big ass holes on my face.

>>2196541Omg I know I'm late and I have no idea whether you'll even see this reply, nona, but I was just about to post this very same thing. I broke up with my now ex gf today, apparently for the same reasons as you. I was walking on eggshells around her a lot, and she emotionally abused, manipulated and blackmailed me. Nothing I did was good enough, she'd be constantly offended and angry about the most unexpected things and there was always exhausting conflict. A couple of times she threatened me by alluding to suicide/self-harm and she punished me by withholding affection and intentionally making me worry about her safety and well-being. She'd treat me coldly and then blame me for not comforting and coddling HER. She'd humiliate and defame me in front of her children by berating me about being "violent" and talking about how scared of me she was. No more. I'll surely be sad, feel pain, empathize with her and miss our good and happy moments together because that's just how our brains work sometimes, but I know I made the right choice by saving myself and setting myself free. Congratulations and good for you on doing the same, nona.

Whenever I post on here, I try to change small details about myself, like my age, my job or make my cousin my sister or something like that because I'm paranoid my friends would browse on here out of morbid curiosity, see those posts and immediately clock them as me if I didn't do that. Recently though I've realized, even if I didn't know about lolcow at all, all of them would immediately assume I'm on here, anyways, because lolcow equals all of my interests. I'm a gatekeeping weeb (this is said affectionately) into lolita, love shit flinging on the internet and followed the majority of my cows even before lolcow was a thing. Now that I think about it, they'd probably link me to lolcow themselves if they knew about it lmao. Maybe kind of weird for a positivity post, but this realization has been so freeing.

Happy Halloween, nonitas!
I bought a toy camera today and I am so happy with it, it's so fun. It prints these black and white pics using heat, like a receipt, so no ink and the paper is super cheap. Picrel, I took a lot of pics already lol
Tomorrow I'm going to an amusement park with my fiance and not only it will be decorated for Halloween, it's going to be the first time we're going together and the first time I'm going in like 10 years, it's gonna be super fun! Of course I'm taking the silly camera with me, looking really forward to taking a lot of mini faux polaroids with it. Happy days!

I finally got my favorite Arknights characters. W is one of my favorite characters of all time and I know it’s juvenile but I could cry. I have all of the Darknights trio now too. I’m literally so insanely happy.

I will become normal. My mental illness will not rule over me. I will become a normie. My fate is in my hands. This setback was normal, and I will make sure future schizo breakdowns will be shorter and shorter. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

I made a new friend in my city and it turns out she's also on here. It's a weird coincidence but it's nice having a friend just as intune to my favorite lolcow's new milk as I am. Nonnie if you see this, hi.

Finally scheduled a surgery I've been practically dying to get. It wont fix all of my issues but fuck I hope it helps the worst ones. As nervous as I am, it can't come soon enough. I'm actually more scared about saying stupid shit under anesthesia than anything else kek

>>2279669I have a folder of screenshots on my phone that are just kind, thoughtful replies nonnys have said to my vents. I love how women can be mask off horrible here while also being one of the most thoughtful and loving communities I have been a part of. I’m glad a place like this exists and I am happy to share it with everyone else, even if they infight and derail over stupid stuff all the time.

>>2281151legit metal dudes are some of the nicest males I've ever known. I'm glad they treated you well, nona. some of the only good experiences I've had with men are during shows like this.
they held doors open for me, protected me from moshers, and never once tried hitting on me. i hope that culture never dies out
