Every Friday, just say whatever is in your mind in this post. It doesn’t need to be a question, and go on whatever tangent you want to go on.

We will still be enforcing our rules on gendered slurs, bigoted/disrespectful/hateful commentary, invalidation (if someone’s only contribution is telling others they are wrong), medical issues, and relationship advice. However the comments don’t need to be on a specific topic, and they don’t need to be open-ended questions.

  1. We’ve been to the cinema twice this week.

    Monday we watched They Will Kill You.
    Yesterday we watched Ready or Not 2.

    Both movies were hilarious. I recommend both.

  2. In Australia we don’t get plastic shopping bags for free anymore, you have to buy paper ones that often break. For that reason I have some cloth bags that easily fit into my handbag but one of them broke.

    Yesterday I was in Kmart and looked at their craft kit items. One was 2 cotton bags that you can paint.

    Does anyone else get these craft kits for something to do?

  3. I almost moved in and married the love of my life few months ago. But everything turned out to be a lie.

    It’s been 15 days now since we stopped talking completely, I dream of him every night. I dream of being in his arms or surrounded by him and laughing. Sometimes I dream I’m chasing him but he is no where to be find.

    I’m pushing through so well and working out and trying to surround myself with people.

  4. I’m going on a 12-day vacation with my husband in 2 months and I’m already thinking about how much I’m going to miss my two cats. Don’t get me wrong, I’m so grateful to be going and to have this experience with the love of my life but I just hate feeling like I’m abandoning my babies. It doesn’t help that I’m still looking for a cat sitter. What do people do in these situations? I have some family they could stay with but they’re not really cat people so it isn’t ideal.

  5. I feel like I move with little to no grace, can it be taught?
    Why do I get so sad and angry when someone insults my music choices?
    I feel like I’m never allowed to be too excited.
    Nervous about posting this even but whatever.

  6. I’m loving my 40s. Late 40s now. Last night, I went out and I put on a new outfit, burgundy jumpsuit with a black lace topper and felt absolutely beautiful from head to toe. Where was my style when I was in my awkward 20s and had no clue what I could wear? I swear we get better with age and know-how. Ignore anybody who says after a certain age it’s all downhill. 

  8. After a 13-year relationship breakup followed by 2 years of more devastating heartbreak in other ways, I’m going out on a date with a genuinely wonderful man tonight. A brewery and a walk by the ocean!

    It’s been a slow burn thus far from acquaintances to friends, but I’m enjoying the pace. We’re both single parents and our boys have been in school together since kindergarten (they’re in sixth grade now – slow down, time!). I can honestly say that it feels *right.* He’s kind, mature, laid back, emotionally available, intelligent, hilarious, and we have so much in common from our music tastes to hobbies and interests.

    I’m so excited. Nervous, yet completely at ease because of how safe he makes me feel. My soul hasn’t been this content in so long.
