Another day of isolating myself from people, even though I yearn for connection at times. Dont get me wrong, I love my solitude very much but I find myself self sabotaging by turning all my focus to myself & limiting myself on who I pour into regardless of how deep I care because of betrayal. It takes one experience of true betrayal in relationships. Pain wise, sisterhood hits the most for me nowadays. It is such a hard concept for me to swallow/wrap my head around as someone who knows myself very well. When betrayal like this happens, it is truly challenging for me to grasp the how.. “why would you do that? why me? ” especially knowing you always have their best interest at heart & never saw yourself doing such a thing to them. It’s a realization that someone can know your character, say so many great things about you, love you openly, then turn around the next day & chose to do something so foul behind your back. So whenever you’re bored & wonder why I’m choosing to be selfish, not being the person “you knew”. Just remember that I’m still here. Still myself. Dont lack the awareness that I’m in touch with myself. Take the time to stop indulging yourself in what other people choose to do when it comes to you and look inward. Sit with yourself and stop with all these worldly views, you may be harming yourself in the long run. Know that If I love you openly, if you see love & care in the actions I do when it comes to you, know that the intention lies in genuineness and care for your greater good and my own. If you operate on negativity & can love someone hard today, be vulnerable with them then turn on them tomorrow to please the next person…just know that you could 💋 it 🖕stop people pleasing the scum way. You can value power and control. Just don’t come around me without valuing mutual love, care and respect AS WELL. All that acting like someone you’re not in my face & then partaking in reverse psychology behind my back is what rubs my spirit the wrong way. Unlike you, I don’t operate like that. It’s like spiritually, im doing all the genuine caring for your greater good but wheres your consideration when it comes to mine? I see you value me in my face but undermine me behind my back. If you can’t act right over here, go be where you can act a fool and be careless. Loyalty, love, care has to be mutual over here. I can only take so much in toxic places. I know I’m not perfect. I make mistakes, I get upset & have my days, but I can regulate and stay rooted in the pure energy of who I was before the harshness & know that it’s not in my heart to do people that way. As well as using that energy to push myself to be better. Nobody is ever going to take this from me, I simply won’t let them and rebuke it.

Imagine having a stack of pictures taken of you in the last year or two and being told to sort them from oldest to nearest. Do you think you could do it?

How do I (25F) align for gift budget with my bf (30M)?

We have been in a rs for more than six months, both financially independent.
Got him an oven in nov cos he said he wanted.
Planned and agreed to celebrate Christmas and exchange gifts, i gave my gift to him 1 week prior, a ralph lauren polo. On the day itself, he got me nothing.
Vday, I told him in advance I want a nice gift. I told him a got him a luxury perfume 1 week in advance, it was $300 for 75ml, he gave me a $15 artificial flowers. I did told him that I don’t want the xmas incident to be repeated and he said he prepped so nicely this time round…
How do you all align on budget? I communicate in advance, but imagine u get him a ralph lauren shirt and he gets u nothing… (context: he earns a lot more than me)
And u tell him in advance that budget is designer perfume. I thought he might not want to spend much on gift budget so asked him in asvance, room spray, small house decor or perfume. He chose the high budget one as his preference and agreed. And gave me a $15 artificial flowers…
Communicated; but then, i feel like I’m just not being appreciated
And me liking good branded stuff is well known by everyone ard me including him.
Idk what’s wrong; and I don’t know how to react…

You bought him AN OVEN after less than six months together???? Girl, if you’ve been together for four months, you can buy him a CD for Christmas. Not a damn oven.

Obviously he’s being selfish and entitled if he tells you to spend lots of money on him and then gets you gas station shit, but honestly, your expectations are just as wild as his. I can’t even.

Two minds here.

1. Just…define a budget??? “I’m thinking $50 minimum and $65 maximum for gifts for [event]. Is that good?” A defined range, not a maximum he can weasel out of.
2. Clearly, this guy is just mooching, which is even more pathetic considering his salary (if he makes more than you and you make enough to be comfortable buying a man you just met a whole ass oven…). Break up. ??? Don’t beg for scraps.

LeBron James to sit out of Lakers vs Spurs, will be out of consideration for 22nd All-NBA honours

LeBron James will sit out of the Los Angeles Lakers’ game against the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night due to left foot arthritis, a decision that will prevent him from qualifying for consideration for his 22nd straight appearance on an All-NBA team.
James has been on one of the three All-NBA postseason teams in each of his last 21 seasons, but this game will be the 18th he has missed this…

Do Not Cut the Line

locked tf in

for some reason this started playing on my speaker but I’m not mad abt it,,, I love sza and rihanna and they cooked with this

Might open up like specifically pixelart comissions of Danganronpa style sprites - specifically fully seperated sprite sheets where each bodypart is segmented and posed differently and stuff.

It will be an asprite file so you can copy paste all of the bodyparts together as you wish in a seperate file. Or Use them to make puppets!

I have developed this template which i can easily use to make almost any human character into this icon style…

And simple pixelart is much less time consuming than drawing on paper.

This would essentially be like a service to get a full set of assets for a cute little pixelated icon version of your character thats posable and customizable to your liking. So im thinking it may be pretty cheeap too.

5-15 dollars/ euro per character probably.

I want it to be affordable.

I really like making small little assets in this funky lil program. its awesome!

Having so much gender consideration lately

My (29M) girlfriend (30F) abruptly ended our mostly long-distance 3-year relationship over future plans and communication mistakes. I don’t know if I should respect her decision or try to fix things.

I (29M) started dating my gf (30F) 3 years ago. A year after we started dating, I moved to Canada to pursue my master’s, which would take 2 years. I still have one semester left, but I did visit my home country last summer, where we took some steps forward in our relationship by having our families meet, but there was no engagement. My plan was to tie the knot after I graduate and then consider staying in Canada for a bit longer to pursue PR so we could move here in the future.
My gf was secretly not happy with this plan, and felt that things would have been streamlined for her if I had tied the knot while I was home last summer. It made more sense to me to come back after graduating in 8 months (counting from last summer), marry, then figure things out from there. PR was only one option; it wasn’t the end-all be-all. I sort of knew my gf was getting tired of waiting and that maybe I’d have to sacrifice PR to make us all happy.
I was also unsure about our living arrangements after marriage. My gf has 5 cats, and I have 6. My mom is a widow, and she’s getting on in age and frequently has health problems. I am expected to stay with her when I’m back home, and this is something my gf was reluctantly on board with but the cat situation made it all very uncertain since she was unwilling to abandon hers, and 11 cats under the same roof is a no-no, especially given the size of the house, and my mom is super against it too.
After she was comfortable talking again, she brought all of these issues up in several abrasive messages. I told her I discussed us moving in next door to my mom with my mom and that she was okay with it. This was a lie, because while I did talk to my mom about it, my mom wasn’t thinking of my gf’s cats when she agreed. When I told my gf about it, I figured we could convince my mom about all 11 cats after the fact.
This backfired, because my gf thought that I withheld this info, as on paper, it sounded to her like the perfect solution for us. She assumed I kept dilly-dallying about our future plans because I just wanted to uphold the long-distance status quo and have no intentions of going back and starting a life with her. She took it so badly that she left our Discord call (where we were discussing these things) and blocked me everywhere. I emailed her, and she said it was over between us.
This is the first person I’ve been in a relationship with, and the whole thing has been devastating. I’m alone most of the time in Canada, and losing her feels like losing most of the identity I’ve built here. But at the same time, part of me feels like this is for the best for both of us, since so many things about our futures were so tenuous or incompatible.

Perhaps it was just a poor explanation, but based on this, you never actually really liked your girlfriend. You got a girlfriend, and you decided “great, this fits into my life plans” and then chugged along and never once discussed with her or worked together to fit into each other’s lives. It sounds like you left for a long-distance program without discussing it with her and expecting her to just accept it. You decided to wanted to immigrate to Canada. You never discussed this with her and were surprised when she wasn’t happy with this plan. You decided you’d choose her over immigrating, but you never really understood the fact that she’s her own person with her own feelings and her own life, and have just never computed the fact that she might have her own wants that don’t align with yours. But, even in letting go of immigration, you still refused to just work with her on a future plan. Instead, you decided you two have to live with your mom. You decided to lie to and manipulate both your mother and girlfriend to get what you wanted, their feelings about it be damned. Time and time again, the only person you considered was yourself, and you just expect the women in your life to go along with that because it’s what you want.

That’s not how relationships work. You need to COMMUNICATE and WORK TOGETHER. You never even asked what she wanted. You decided, and then you decided again if she was against something. You didn’t discuss long-term plans or consider compatibility. You didn’t see about compromise. You decided everything, even the so-called compromise. But you aren’t the only person who exists or matters.

If you want a long-term, committed relationship, then you need to give space for the other person to exist. You need to talk to them, and more importantly, you need to listen to them. You shouldn’t give up everything you want (if going away for a degree or to immigrate is what’s best for you, it’s fine to choose yourself! but admit you’re choosing yourself instead of trying to drag someone else along when that’s not what they want), but that doesn’t mean the other person is supposed to give up everything they want in your stead. It means talking and seeing if you want the same things. It means discussing the options and seeing if you can both be happy with those. It means recognizing an incompatibility and walking away when you do.

You did none of that. If you date again in the future: you need to consider the other person, not just how you want them to fit into your life, but how you fit into theirs. That means asking them their opinion, not just deciding it for them.
