It's possible. We're going to get a second opinion with both of us present.

 

i am doing okay for now

 

We met with a friend of mine’s brother in law just to be nice, and he absolutely scared us into a plan that we don’t need. I wouldn’t stress too much about what they say, they’re trying to make a buck off of you.

 

This is reassuring. Thank you.

 

Love how some days I feel confident and other days I think I'm the ugliest human being on the planet and I'm upset I was born with the worst genetics between my siblings and wish i was anyone else. Cool cool cool lol.

 

I overheard my bf talking on the phone and sounding legitimately happy for their success and I was like oh... is that what we're supposed to do instead of feeling secretly resentful because I'm in a competition that only I know about with others where I want to have a cooler life than everyone even tho I don't do anything or put forth effort to actively have a cool or interesting life. I call it Romy and Michele syndrome except without the personal growth at the end

 

This is the worst day I’ve had in a long long time.

 

How are you today?

 

Better.

A pothole gave me a flat tire at 1:00. I never learned how to change a tire, so I called AAA and they said they’d be there at 5:20. At 5:00, they changed their ETA to 10:00. I said fuck it, and looked up in the car manual how to change it. I couldn’t get the lug nuts off the tire because they were on so tight. Someone saw me and helped, but it was so fucking embarrassing.

 

I’ve been there dude. I once had to sit on the side of a turnpike in August heat waiting for my dad to come help me change a tire.

 

Omg I used to know how to change tires but never had to do it so I know I couldn't do it now. But even when I was taught and knew how to, I could never get the lug nuts off myself. It's so humbling and a helpless feeling. Glad someone was able to help!

 

I also didn't know how to change a tire for the longest time and did it in the wrong order and almost fucked myself, but it all worked out. Things like this happen, but you did it and someone was nice enough to help! I'm sorry you had to go through that, but I'm glad you're doing better.

 

Hopefully this story gives you a chuckle.

I once had a super attractive woman ask for help jump starting her car as I was leaving a store.

I instantly said yes, hopped in my car and drove over to hers. As I parked, I realized I may not even have jumper cables and more importantly, I had never even fucking looked under the hood of my car.

I get out, I pop the hood and I stare blankly at a bunch of shit that doesn’t look anything familiar to me lol. As it turned out, I learned the next day that my car had a “cover” over the engine so it looks “nicer”.

At the time I did not know that and as the attractive woman asked if I knew what to do, I slowly shook my head no and thankfully someone else must have seen my look of confusion and offered to help and I bolted as quick as I could lol

 

Lmao I've jumped so many people's cars before. I always feel like such a boss when I do it. It's the one thing I know how to do because before I got a fancy car that beeps if I leave my lights on, I used to leave them on a LOT. I recently got to help two girls in the Target parking lot and I was like yes sisterhood I got u!!

 

Had a similar experience lol. My car hid the battery underneath a cover and someone asked for a jump and they had cables. Neither of us knew what to do so I left feeling embarrassed

 

You had to wait 9 hours!??!

 

I didn’t. At 5, I just did it myself.

 

That’s still a long time to wait for a tire change. Even tho you decided to do it yourself

 

It's hard dealing with jealousy and insecurities. I'm aware and smart enough to not put it onto others, but it still eats at me on the inside and I really hate that about myself. I wish I were someone who just didn't care, but I do and I'm trying really hard to work on that.

 

I hate feeling like a failure. The fact that I don’t make enough to support myself is not where I ever thought I’d be in my 30s

 

I feel like making a patreon just to afford groceries sometimes

 

kinda want to tell my work i want to kms and its because they not paying me enough

 

Crazy that our culture is so fucked up that if we express this it will only make things 10x more difficult for us instead of them rectifying the problem lol

 

then i see the president and shit and i'm like, yeah i'm doing fine, like motherfucker i wanna rob you

 

Being a single parent and lonely honestly just sucks
