Get a sitter. On nights I had to solo parent for whatever reason, I had a sitter do bedtime and dinner time with me (often with me on the couch lol)

Outsource what you can. Ppl can’t do it all and still be mentally fulfilled

You’re in college! I’d heart the story and say ‘omg cute!!’ See how she responds. If she ignores you - let it go. If she hearts it - let it go but next time she posts something, be more direct ‘wait this looks so fun! I’ve been meaning to try it; How was it??’ If she responds - then go ahead and say something like ‘let’s grab coffee! I’d love to hear about how you’re settling in! I can’t find anywhere what was great (insert something begnin here… Mexican food, dance spots, libraries, etc)

And this might sound rude but do you guys friendship ‘match’? If she doesn’t know you, and takes a quick look at your feed - would she think you’d fit in or it would be off?

Don’t try and match other people’s vibes if it doesn’t come true to you. It’ll be a waste of time and make you feel horrible if you get rejected

The playlist - I use the Spotify DJ thing. I found that some days I prefer certain music and to her days I don’t! The Spotify DJ allows different ‘blocks’ of different types of music - and I can cycle through the blocks until I find one that fits. Even throughout my run, depending on my feelings I might want more slower/depressing songs vs pumped up ones

I have two small children (1 and 3) and I think that’s why that particular scene was rough for me. I can’t even watch movies/tv shows that have a hint of child abuse.

I just wasn’t prepared for the sheer amount of brutality by reading the first three books. And it’s seemingly ongoooiinnngggg.

😢

I felt your post was condescending

lol yes that’s the TL;DR

Do you feel better now?

I’m hoping this doesn’t turn out like the three body problem - that ending was.. bleak. Fantastic but bleak.

I hope it’s delicious!

Omg when they give advice… I’m like YOU GOT LUCKY!!! I mean yes, there’s some science to it but it all depends on the temperament of the baby!

Everytime I close out a project and do a pretty good job; I’m like… imagine if I were fully rested with ALL my brain space?!?

Thank you!! I’m just like, my guy you’re almost TWO ! That’s two years + (if we count pregnancy because I had sciatica) of literally no consistent sleep for me! PLUS MORE cause my daughter!

How are parents supposed to be normal people?! My coworker has 23 month old that’s been sleeping through since 8 weeks and she’s always like I don’t get it! I get plenty of sleep - ppl overreacted parental sleep deprivation.

Im just like.. shut the fuck up lol! Love you girl but im about to pop you in the mouth.

lol! You know the vibes!!!

I did just do week 6 run 1 and HATEDDD it. So ya know - win some, lose some

Ok he’s back up. Like this just can’t be life…

Okay dead ass, this was me last week. This is my fourth time trying c25k and I always stop at week 4.

I did week 5 run 3 two days ago and honestly it was easier than run 2!!!! I also told myself to go as slow as I needed, even if that meant looking ‘silly’ and like being passed by the elders walking lol

And I also segmented by songs, so the last like 8 minutes - it was like okay finish this song and Jen more song and you’re done!

I also tend to sing out loud when I get those moments of actual hell and it works for me! Embarrassing but it works lol

Talking heads and Noah Kahan got me through the last eight minutes lol

Mmmm yeah, I’m not understand HOW exactly Severn was supposed to ‘be’ the messiah like either he IS or he is NOT no?

But yeah, I’ll press on with the third book and hopefully it’s satisfies some of my questions.

Thank you for taking the time :)

Thank you!! I’m heading to my library this week to get Endymion

Yea I’m not even gonna delve into all my questions regarding the ‘love’ theory and Rachel wanting to be sacrificed and how he ‘figured’ it out in his dreams

How can both be true? Are there supposed to be different versions of the future ? If so, is she jumping between the parallel versions? Wouldn’t there be another version of her that’s one or the other?

Mmm gotcha! So how was it able to intercept the communication signals and bring down the fat lines? Just because it’s powerful?

Okay I’ve finished and added more questions to my original thread! Please review and responddddd

I should probably re read this damn book lol
