i want to or more so i feel like i need to go, but i hate the idea of having to pay for someone to listen to me and understand me. nobody in my life wants to hear out my problems and it sickens me because thats the first thing i would do for them. i know therapy is more than that, but ultimately i would only go just to be heard for a little and be understood without anyone judging me. but it feels so not worth it. i dont even have a job why should i spend so much money just to talk to someone for an hour. isnt that what friends are for…

Do you think it's better to be bombarded with unrealistic aesthetics or telling ourselves it's okay to be a failure?

I feel like both ways are just lying to tell an unhealthy person (EDs or obese) that they're doing well. Growing up with everyone wanting to be skinny felt suffocating but I also feel uneasy about losing that goal. If I don't have an ideal aesthetic to strive for, how do I improve myself? Telling myself I'm fine feels like accepting mediocrity without any directions on where to go next. When I see pinterest trying to purposefully put plus-sized women at the top of my feed I feel like I'm being patronized and being told it's okay to be chubby when I know real life isn't like that.
I went from average height and stocky in middle school to under 50kg slightly short. This is the dream body I wanted but now it feels like I just got indoctrinated into becoming dependant on this 'dream'. I do get stressed about how much I eat but I don't think I can live without this stress.
How do you nonas find meaning and goals in life without holding on to this? Do you focus on your hobbies instead? What if I don't like my hobbies enough to take it any further?

anyone wanna talk about gardening? share some tips? I live in an apartment, so I just have a container garden on the patio.

Anyone find love confessions and 'romance' to be really cringe?

If someone cares, and loves you, it's something that's better seen and shown then said.

Do you have a cute doge or kitty

if so postem pls

how do I cope with the fact that my dad will never love me as much as he loves my older brother, simply because he is male? he has never acknowledged my professional archivements but celebrate anything my brother does, i thought i was over it but today my dad gave me a face of disgust when i told him i might be pregnant. I mean im probably not pregnant but the way he looked at me hurt me so deeply, it was pure disgust.
