What's Bothering You?

Small bother, but...

I am so bad at Wii Sports Baseball, it's not even funny. Decided to play a match and literally everything went wrong, including me getting Mercy Rule'd in the first inning. In other words, I lost the game before it was even over. It'll take me forever to get to Sakura at this rate, let alone beat her.

My grandma sent me a picture of me and my mother from when I was around three years old, I believe. She captioned it “back when your mother was still somewhat of a mother.” As true as that is, it makes me think. I’ve been basically with my dad since I started kindergarten.

nvm I change my mind

My step-mom woke me up early in the morning to take out the puppies. She actually asked me politely for once, and I was already half-awake by then, so I shouldn't be that mad about it - But I am.
I also left the doors wide open without even realizing it and my dog almost ran outside. I got so scared when I saw her through the window, bolting for the door. I had to stop what I was doing and close the doors before it was too late.

Why do some people think you should stop liking fictional characters as you get older? I’ve read so many comments about how they think liking characters from games or animes or cartoons automatically makes someone “immature” especially if they’re older. Just because you age doesn’t mean there’s an age-restriction to what you should like; let people enjoy things as long as they’re not harming anyone. Idk why that’s so hard to stomach. You’re not the bigger person if you don’t like fiction, lol. Stop gatekeeping older people from consuming different forms of media or entertainment.

I literally don't get people like this, who honestly cares what someone likes? as long as it's not hurting anyone there's no need to call them out for "being too old". it's honestly really rude when people say stuff like that

This is something I have never understand. If it makes people happy and not hurting anyone leave them alone. I have had this happen many times with some of the books I read and video games. According to one of my aunts once I person gets to a certain age they should stop playing video games since they are for kids.

Someone I used to go to school with said that he was too old for Pokémon. He was 10 years old when he made that comment??

I think it’s sickening that there is people in this world that belief stuff like this. Adults can like the same things children like ;-;

Had to say goodbye to my beloved dog Bella today. I had her for over 15 years. It hurts. She will always be family and I’ll never forget her!

sinus headache

also my SO had to go to work and the place he works at really sucks, wish I could help him get out of there he deserves nothing less than to be treated with respect and care.

This is such a toxic mindset Honestly, don’t pay them any attention. I’m part of a girl gamers group with a lot of women older than me who all share the same love for video games, it’s a really nice community and no one shames anyone for whatever games they play. Some of these women also play games with their kids which is a good form of bonding and past time.

I read a quote the other day that really hit home: “There’s only so much joy in the world, so don’t take it away from others.”

It did bother me for a bit but decided not to let others take my joy. That quote is right . People find joy in different things. I think it was more because she didn’t understand them so she thought they were a waste of time for adults.

I specifically avoid things that make me happy because of my dad's negativity towards me. There are a lot of examples, but this is something that just happened today. I finally got my own apartment and I want to fill it with things I like. He asked me about what kind of paintings I want to put up to decorate, and I searched around online for a bit until I found a print set of a series of cats and plants that I liked a lot! I showed it to him and he BLEW UP at me, saying it's too juvenile and vibes "cat lady"?? I tried arguing with him, but it didn't get anywhere. I was so excited when I saw it at first, and now I just feel defeated. There's also another artist I love who sells whimsical prints featuring cats, witches, plants, birds. Like literally exactly my aesthetic, but after this whole interaction I know that will be shut down even harder. I thought getting a new place would allow me to break free of him, but I feel like I'm still constantly judged and I'm just not allowed to be myself? It's so ridiculous because I'm almost 30 years old lol?? There's nothing stopping me from just ordering the dang prints and putting them up myself and not care what anyone will say about it.

I feel bad. I've only known my SO for like a day but we have a great deal of love for each other. but I see so many people online saying that love at first sight isn't genuine. I do feel like I want to give this relationship some time, but my SO proves time and time again that he genuinely really likes me and actually messages me out of the blue just to say hi or whatever. idk I know this just started and I feel bad that we're already at this point. is my suspicion correct? or is it okay that we're both infatuated with each other, even if it takes time for true love to develop?

idk I'm feeling so confused abt all of this bc I've never been in a relationship before.

Maybe you’re just overthinking things? You can’t compare other peoples’ experience to your own. I think since you’ve only known him for a day, you should just take things slow. If things seem to be going well, no need to second guess everything, right?

I’m not any relationship guru but I have been in previous relationships and am very happy with my current (5-year anniv soon!), so take what you will of my reply, I guess.

Honestly, understanding what love is for you takes a lot of experience. It took me a long time to figure out how to maneuver in a relationship, how to talk to my partner, how to deal with relationship problems, all those stuff. It’s overwhelming at first, but honestly I don’t think you need to worry too much, just play your relationship by ear. You should listen to how you feel first and foremost, and you should be open to consulting your partner regarding what you both feel about the relationship. I think the key to a healthy relationship is good communication and just being open-minded; if you’re unsure of something, or want to know how your partner feels, it’s best to ask them first. My boyfriend and I have been holding each other’s hand throughout our relationship, and I couldn’t be happier being with someone who values my opinion just as much as they value their own opinion.

Also, the first love thing isn’t always true. I have two close friends who are still together with their very first S/O whom they met when they were like 14/15, highschool sweethearts and all that. We’re all 20+ in the group now and those two couples are still going strong.

I hope things are going well with your S/O!

I just stayed up all night because I couldn’t pry myself from my computer. Plus my sleep schedule was already terrible to begin with. Lovely.

Everyday is some new ** I gotta deal with at work

If the dogs nails were already done, maybe tell me that before I go to do them. Also, the dogs nails weren't done short enough cause if *I*, the inexperienced person who tends not clip enough off of a dogs nails, can still clip parts off *and* did a du claw, somethin hard, then clearly they did not clip enough off nor did they do the du claws.

Then my boss made a passive-aggressive comment how one dog that needs to be done by 1 is getting dried off yet the other dog for 11, the dog at my station, isn't getting dry. I'm busy at the moment! You were the one who let a new dog in on a day we were short staffed! I had to help the receptionist up front, dropping what I was doing cause apparently no one up front has god damn legs to go help her.

I'm so sick of this constant hypocrisy that I get, not just for this but multiple situations!
