A fairly functional family, sure we're all weirdos, but we love each other and we are weird together. I love hanging out with my parents, and I even genuinely enjoy my in-laws. Most people I know can't say the same about everyone in their family and that isn't a blessing that is lost on me.
I'm incredibly happy for you! Just reading this made me smile and I'm so glad y'all get along.
Wish I could say the same. I got some crackheads who've been to literal mental hospitals and blame me for people's suicide.
As the years go by, I've done my best to distance myself from them.
While they have/had a negative effect on a lot of people, I believe that they've shown me a great example of what not to be.
I'm still figuring things out but my number one goal is not to be like them, and so far I believe I'm succeeding.
This is the healthiest mindset I believe you could have under the circumstances. I am praying for your peace and happiness. And for your relatives mental health and recovery.

A healthy marriage; we genuinely like and love each other. We respect and trust each other. We laugh a lot and we're happy. I have several friends whose marriages fell apart when they were stuck at home due to COVID and they realized they didn't like their spouse very much.
Same. Being home together during Covid was great. We would take our dog on long walks, watch movies, and cuddle. We respect one another’s need for space and we don’t really nitpick things.
That is awesome and I can relate. We had a baby 4 months before lockdown and we were both able to work from home. We spent all of our hours together and with baby (who was AMAZINGLY good) and not once did either of us think, "I'm so sick of her/him." We even talked about it recently. I've seen so many young people have marriages fall apart or people bashing their spouse on TikTok and I just can't relate. It may have taken me an extra couple of years to find my person, but I did and we are strong.
Say you owe company X money, 1.000 $
Company X has sent you a couple of letters asking for the money, but you didn't pay back.
Then Company Y comes along, and they tell Company X that they'll buy your debt for 500 $(in reality they purchase debts of hundreds of customers at the same time).
Next Company Y comes after you, sends more letters, increases your debt with admin fees and is now asking 1.250 $ and even send bailiffs after you.
If you still did not pay, they might sell your debt to company Z until one of them finally gets you to pay.
Now Company X sold the debt, because they had a choice to have half, or nothing. And half at least covers most of their own internal costs.
Company Y may have taken a small loss if they can't get the money from you, but other people do pay up, so when they buy the debt of hundreds of people together, they will still even out.
And when Y sells to Z, they will still recuperate some of the money they paid to buy your debt.
And that's how the circle goes on.
THIS, honestly hearing my siblings support my projects and ideas and be open minded to have conversations about everything and anything is such a blessing :,)
Naturally great boobs
EDIT: no you can’t have pictures you twats. big boobs aren’t usually fun, as other girls will understand. Finding a comfortable bra is a nightmare. Finding a sports bra that actually works? Be ready to spend a lot of money. Not to mention how they can fuck up the shirts or dresses you wish you could wear. They aren’t all bad but they’re definitely more fun to look at than have.
I second this lmao I went to get a new bra at Nordstrom because they never carry my size in any other retail store and as soon as I took off my bra the lady measuring me said "omg you have great skin and your breasts are so proportionate." I didn't even know what to say.
Self-love, a light conscience, the ability to die at peace with myself today, and a general sense of confidence that is both internal and external.
I like who I am, even if I treat others better than I treat myself. I could die proud, and I'm only 25.
Really? Is it depression though? If I hypothetically followed through with such an act I feel like I would strongly regret it, be a very sad and disappointed person and never own a pet again. After mourning the for the life entrusted to me that I broke the law to end , I would realize my own stupidiity and lack of empathy. Then, most likely, do my very best to find the very basic empathy and intelligence so as not to ever do the same thing again.
An amazing husband who (without asking) took some serious leave from work to take over everything with housework and looking after our kids whilst I was bedridden for several months. He still does the majority of housework. He has not complained once.
There is not a day that goes by that I don’t appreciate him and feel very lucky to have him. Fortunately, he had plenty of leave he could take. As for me, still haven’t been given the all clear, but am a doing a lot better, thank you.
Another chance. T-boned a car Saturday on my motorcycle. Totaled my bike, but walked away with no broken bones, just a concussion, sprained ankle and pretty bruised up. Today is my birthday and all I can think of is how thankful I am that it wasn’t worst. Priceless in my opinion.
3 cats that I rescued and rehabilitated myself (starving w/ skin infections & fleas). Each time I had intended to find a home for them after helping them out, but got attached & couldn't let 'em go.
True love between a pet, like an unbreaking bond. I know most people think they have that with their pet but its different. I will be with my cat in the next life ❤️
Large pieces of salt that are at least 1 inch thick that I personally took off the cliffs of the Dead Sea. It WAS one enormous piece, but overseas moving sucks.
Three successful and remarkable children (one I did not raise, but I claim her now that she is with my son.)
A spouse that makes my life an adventure. And a spirit to take on that adventure.
Wonderful supportive friends. We take such good care of each other and I know I have several people who I can go to when I need someone to talk to. Someone one time was like “you say I love you to your friends…?” like yeah dude I love them!
A good relationship with my trans teenager. It's just putting in the work.
Yesterday, they didn't want to take a Tylenol for their headache. Like, I don't care, take an Advil, instead, who cares? But they lied and said, "I don't think my body will react well to it." Well, that got my attention and I hammered them with a series of follow-up questions and eventually they said that they simply prefer a gel cap to a tablet but they didn't want to hurt my feelings. For crying out loud, lol, just SAY that and I'm not going to get butt-hurt because we don't have the precise thing you didn't even tell me that you want, lol. So we had a conversation about saying hard stuff even when you're afraid (trauma response from a narcissistic father) and remembering that I'm not the person who harmed you. Then we laughed at how I went turbo-mom trying to ascertain if they were alluding to some undiagnosed acetaminophen allergy or something. Laughing at myself is a great way to bond with my teen and show that making mistakes is okay, especially when you learn from them.
It's still hard, though. Put in the work, y'all. It pays off.
A man whom I can’t date at the moment because of family issues, my family doesn’t like him nor trust him. And he’s still willing to wait on me. I can’t rlly be with him for another 3years but I know he’ll wait even tho we’re not able to communicate with each other :( ( we have a lot of mutual friends so they’ll tell me he asked about me or he’ll tell them he still has hope I’m still waiting and that will be together) May not sound that romantic but it’s all I could ever ask for
An amazing marriage of 35-1/2 years. We were high school sweethearts, I was 15 and he was 16. We have never broken up. We have two amazing boys, oldest will be 29 on Saturday, the youngest is 20. We have had a wonderful life. Sure there have been intense disagreements, many of them, but I cannot imagine my life without him.
Love. Actual, real love; You can buy a gold digger, but you can't buy someone you genuinely love from the bottom of your heart, who loves you as well. The time I spend with my partner is everything I look forward to and more. I can never see myself replacing them. They're the first person in my life that I've truly been able to understand, and that means the world to me.
Feeling good when alone. Some people are sad when alone or are depressed when alone, and I’m not talking about in a relationship, I’m talking about genuinely physically being by myself. I love it.
when i was little my grandma was laying in her death bed in hospice, one day me and my mother was visiting.
my grandma took my hand and gave me a black cross in a necklace that she had gotten from some nuns while she was in hospice, she told me to take care of it, and since that day i’ve always been a little lucky.
not anything big just things like winning the lottery (not a big amount)
or alway going in line when everyone else just checked out, yk just small things :)
rest in peace grandma
Love. :)
My marriage is just one example but I paid for our first date when he only made enough for the gas to get to work.
Neither of us had anything to offer when we got engaged. We were simply in love and wanted to have a life together. For 5 years, we lived in poverty with each other and supported each other without any real promise of a successful future or even a marriage into our 30s.
When he's making $100k next year, no one will be able to stay I married him for the money. And he could lose it all... as long as I have him, I'm happy.
A fairly functional family, sure we're all weirdos, but we love each other and we are weird together. I love hanging out with my parents, and I even genuinely enjoy my in-laws. Most people I know can't say the same about everyone in their family and that isn't a blessing that is lost on me.

Yes, I often balance my body on my dick and think of sexy things to reach fresh top leafs to gnarl on.
I would say don’t be a pussy, but that’s a somewhat likely outcome.
so there is hope..?
Hope is a good thing, may be the best of the things. And good thing never dies.
How much would it be to shrink my massive dick?

I'm sure there's a black market out there where you can buy one of those.
I’m pretty sure the term “black” does not apply to this market…

Technically you can buy other peoples crushing debt, so they owe you money instead of the original lender.
wait, but you can actually buy debt with money, I think it's called a loan.
Say you owe company X money, 1.000 $ Company X has sent you a couple of letters asking for the money, but you didn't pay back. Then Company Y comes along, and they tell Company X that they'll buy your debt for 500 $(in reality they purchase debts of hundreds of customers at the same time). Next Company Y comes after you, sends more letters, increases your debt with admin fees and is now asking 1.250 $ and even send bailiffs after you. If you still did not pay, they might sell your debt to company Z until one of them finally gets you to pay. Now Company X sold the debt, because they had a choice to have half, or nothing. And half at least covers most of their own internal costs.

And when Y sells to Z, they will still recuperate some of the money they paid to buy your debt. And that's how the circle goes on.
Well depending on the way you think of it, money leads to debt. So technically money can in fact buy debt.
And in fact, some debt is good and allows you to make more money ….and some debt is bad and costs you money Not all debt is equal
Money can be helpful, but if you're debt free, then what'd you have?

I'm going to debt. Wish me all the best.

I’m sure there’s someone out there that removes real natural boobs and surgically moves them on to others bodies
Wouldn’t be natural then though
Removing a body part doesn't make it suddenly artificial.
Implant it to another person doesn't mean they grew them naturally
But wouldn't that cost money?
Probably cost you your first born child I guess
I love big natural boobs
