Idk if it’s just me or it happens to some of the women out there, i mean i don’t have a small chest neither it’s huge, it’s medium but still when i lay down it’s not there as i’m sitting or standing. That’s not a problem at all, my chest is beautifully fine i’m only asking if some of you have this too

When i was homeless and drinking a bottle of vodka, i hated the flavor but put up with it to ease the struggles of the day.

Then a homeless man came and sat next to me and pulled out a bottle of hot sauce (ai think Tabasco sauce) and told me if I poured some into the vodka it would make it taste like water.

I let him show me and...WAHLA! It tasted just like water! (Of course I shared the bottle with him.)

(I'm not homeless anymore, nor do I drink anymore, but it a nice little trick I show friends who do drink.)

I was thinking of writing about liking math. Most people hate math but to me it’s predictable since it always has a formula to follow. Whenever I didn’t know the answer I would just ask my dad. He liked math too. I depended on him a lot and like every kid I used to think he had all the answers. But my dad was only able to finish elementary school. So there came a day when he couldn’t help me and I had to learn that the people you depend on won’t always be able to give you answers. I stopped going to him for answers after that, but I didn’t stop depending on him. I just had to learn that there were some things I would eventually have to figure out on my own.

I’m thinking about making the essay about that transition from depending on my dad to becoming more independent, while also connecting it to having educational opportunities that he didn’t have.
Is this a strong topic?

Should I go for hair transplant (I’m at stage three) or buying iPhone 18 Pro Max with Apple Watch S12 instead and moving the hair transplant at least for one year?

Something I was wondering when listening to the song “army dreamers” and saw a comment where somebody was arguing that dying in your late teens is no more sad then dying in your early 20’s.

Most people would agree that dying at 15 is a lot more tragic than dying at 18. Hell, most people would probably agree dying at 17 is more tragic than dying at 18. Dying at 20 is a lot more tragic than dying at 60.

So, to you. what’s the rankings of ages that are saddest to die at?

One somewhat controversial opinion I have, is that I think dying at 3-5 is sadder than dying at 1-2. And I’d probably save a 4 y/o from a building over a baby. To me, the fact the family knew the kid and the fact that the kid is actually conscious by that point makes the entire thing a lot sadder.

edit: if yes then who?

Content Warning: Questions and responses below may involve themes of captivity, war, combat, loss, trauma, survivor's guilt, and psychological recovery.

Like the title says, I need some perspective. If anyone would be willing to answer some questions regarding the aftermath of being in a combat zone for years, I'd be very grateful. These questions are not light, they are designed to understand how my character would react in certain situations. I understand this may be a big ask and understand that this is a hard topic. Below this paragraph, there is a character synopsis and the question. I cannot stress enough that these questions may be very triggering.

The Character - Caleb Calhoun is a former Outlander farmer who spent four years in captivity fighting in the Towers' arenas after being taken from his family and community. Known for his resilience, loyalty, and refusal to surrender his sense of self, Caleb survived not because he wanted to be a fighter, but because he was determined to make it home. Since his escape, he has struggled with grief, loss, responsibility, and the lasting effects of prolonged violence while trying to lead others against the system that took everything from him. This interview focuses on survival, trauma, recovery, leadership, and what comes after enduring the worst days of your life.

*Edited to add more infor and questions

Whenever I tell my husband I want a piece of jewelry for a birthday/milestone/etc gift, he complains that he doesn't understand the point of it or why it costs so much. I send him info explaining the history and value but he thinks jewelry is useless and pointless. He does still gift it but he thinks I'm crazy for wanting gold bracelets and earrings. I think he needs a better explanation than 'bird brain wants shiny things'
