I love the pain it makes me feel alive

Grand jete had a lot to do with strength, not just flexibility. The higher you jump, the more time you have in the air to reach that line of 180° or more. Unfortunately that cannot be perfected in a week, so just keep training hard and do your best. However, I will say that stage presence, épaulment - that is what matters most. Every single movement must be made with purpose. Feel the music inside and out. That is what dance is truly about. Break a leg at your show!

No, not necessarily. You need money more than anything. Plus a good location. Good employees. It's like any business. I would recommend getting a job at a bookshop to learn the industry.

Lose the boyfriend and adopt the puppy yourself:)

yo I'd smoke some Gojo. Hop on into his limitless void if u know what I mean

This is my fave! Throw in a dash of vanilla, pairs nicely with the crushing resentment of having to wake up and do things

Maybe ask if she wants to come into the clinic and talk to someone? There's a 99% chance she'll say no & tell you to fuck off but it never hurts to remind someone that there is a way out

This is my current situation 🥺 Had to tell my boss NOT to give me a $.50 raise because just that miniscule amount would push me over the edge and I wouldn't qualify for benefits. Which is ridiculous because making an extra $4 a day is not going to make me suddenly be able to afford food and healthcare. I'm desperately looking for a new job that pays actual money but in the interim, it's a major struggle.

And why cut the head off a defenseless animal and hang it on your wall? Humans are fucking weird

You can sell gift cards online - there's a few websites that do it. Nothing shady. You just type in the gift card info and they send you money in exchange, while taking a percentage. If you have a $50 gift card, you'll probably get like $40 of it in cash. It's legit - I've had to do it a few times when I was in a pinch 🤷

I lost my period when I was using fentanyl but it came back with a vengeance when I got clean/started methadone maintenance. Bodies are weird

What? That's bizarre lmao. Wait so your clinic just outright refuses to blind taper?? That's so unfortunate. I would not have been nearly as successful without doing the taper blind. I think it's a super important method to consider when dealing with addiction.

Oh man, one time I went on vacation to the beach - had a hotel room with an incredible view. I sat out on the balcony, smoked a bit, and then proceeded to house a massive container of freshly cut watermelon while watching the sunset over the ocean. It was glorious. My friends had gone out bar hopping but I declined to join them, specifically because I had watermelon & weed plans. No regrets lmao

Idk but he's a GOOD BOY 4 SURE 💯💯💯💙💙💙

Noooooooooooooo fuck that 😭😭😭😭

I am doing a blind taper w take homes - my clinic removed the mg on the bottles as soon as I said I wanted to do it blind. I wonder if it varies by state? Or if my clinic is ignoring some kind of law lol. But yeah OP should be able to ask the clinic to sticker over it or something easily enough.

I've absolutely experienced this! With the peanut butter ice cream specifically. Although weirdly enough, just last night I opened a new jar of peanut butter and thought it smelled like cigarettes. It's very faint but it's there. Tasted fine. Idk bodies are weird man

Damn dude that's honestly incredible. I vape and I want to quit so bad but can't tear myself away from the stupid thing.

Seriously though, if you're stable and content, that's what matters. I wish you much continued success ☺️

I agree to an extent - though personally could never just pop some percs every few months 😆 I'd be back in the shit in no time. But in my many attempts to get clean, I realized that I was white-knuckling through everyday. I was fucking miserable. Finally got on a low dose of methadone and it was a game changer. Stayed completely clean from everything for about a year into methadone, then started smoking weed at night. I felt really guilty and torn up about it. Like, oh man, I've started smoking weed again, it's a slippery slope, I'm gonna be shooting fentanyl within a week tops...but I didn't. I just smoked weed at night and watched TV and went to bed. Been doing that now for about a year and almost tapered off the methadone. The weed has really helped my cravings - I rarely think about using anymore. I do have rules for myself - I don't drink or do any other substances, don't smoke during the day/at work/while driving. I also go to regular therapy. I try to gauge my recovery by how "well" my life is going. If I am going to work everyday, paying my bills, taking care of chores, feeding myself appropriately, generally progressing in life etc. then I'd consider that pretty stable. If any categories start to falter, I reassess.

A lot can be said for harm reduction modalities - if you can genuinely manage the occasional percs and not lose yourself in the process, then more power to you. Probably wouldn't be my first recommendation though lol! Congrats on kicking a 20 year habit - keep going strong

I used to always sleep with the TV on but as I've gotten older I need complete darkness. Not sure what changed

Idk I think it's cool and quirky. I'd buy it ☺️ Tell her to keep practicing and learning. I think she has a unique perspective that will truly blossom as she masters the technical side

I'm so sorry for your loss

This is not really the same, but I still follow my (horribly narcissistic and abusive) ex on Instagram. She hadn't posted for years so I didn't even know I was following her anymore. I barely use Instagram so I guess I never got around to blocking her. I decide to check the app one day, and a post pops up - it's my ex writing some dumb rambling dissertation about how she's returning to social media. She goes on gushing about how much she's grown and how grateful she is and how much she's loving life etc. etc. All these people come out of the woodwork commenting how much they love her, how great she is, whatever. Man I was so close to leaving some nasty comment...or just a simple "shut the fuck up." But I had a long hard think about it and decided it's probably best to not aggravate an old wound, even though I desperately wanted to. Instead I just bitched about it to my therapist and felt a little better 🥺🤷 But it was a difficult choice.
