My skin has been flaring like crazy lately. Acne is spreading fast, and I can feel it’s mostly anxiety sitting under the surface. It’s uncomfortable to walk through crowded places or try to hide it, so I’ve stopped trying. I’m letting it be. I’ve been through this before ,it passes. It always does..

Is diamond actually a scam? 🥹🥹🥹 What if you like how it looks on your neck, but you also know it holds almost no real value? What should you buy instead if you want something luxurious, something that shines, but you don’t want to keep big gold bars at home? Gold rises in value, yes, but that’s not exactly something you wear. So what’s the alternative for someone who wants beauty and intrinsic worth? #asknostr

Thinking about getting a second dog. Not because I “need” one, but because my heart feels spacious and the idea of a bigger family feels right. Mollys mother will soon have another litter, and I keep feeling pulled toward bringing in another soul, this time black English Cocker Spaniel babygirl. Molly herself is incredibly sweet, gentle, and truly wonderful. She is sensitive, deeply attached, and lives almost like a small person with her own rhythms and emotions. And that’s exactly where my hesitation comes in , would a puppy uplift her or throw her off balance? Would it be a beautiful addition to our home, or is this simply my subjective desire to love and care for another being, which might end up overwhelming her? I’m speaking only about natural care!!! no vaccines, no chemicals, none of that nonsense!!! That part isn’t in question. What matters here is emotion, temperament, and living dynamics. If anyone has experience with a very attached, sensitive dog and later introduced a puppy into the home, share your perspective. Did it make your dog more confident and joyful, or did it create stress and competition? I want to understand reality, not theory. #asknostr #dogstr

Hiiiii Nostr people! 🫂 I’ve been missing real communication because my daily life has been non-stop lately. I’ve been reflecting a lot and finally listening to my body and soul. I’ve been in turbo mode revisiting everything from the last ten years, when I was drinking alcohol every day and basically doing drugs too. Today I accidentally scrolled my iCloud photos back to 2017, and I honestly looked drunk, swollen, completely drained. Mentally at a really low level. Next year I’ll be 30! And wow… I’m genuinely excited for the new decade, it’s going to be amazing. Even though right now my anxiety has flared up (summer was so calm), I’m no longer afraid of the future, and I actually want to thrive in this life instead of wasting it. How do you feel about birthdays and new decades? Do you agree that when we were young we were all wild and didn’t think about the future at all? (And looking through those old photos from the last decade… it honestly hit me hard. They look awful. I feel this huge sense of shame when I see them now, because the difference between then and now is enormous. Back then my whole body was struggling, not just the skin or the occasional breakout I deal with today, but my organs, my mind, everything. One of the photos was taken in Los Angeles during a period when I was literally drinking every single day for months. No wonder I looked like that. I kept trying to hide it with makeup, but you can’t hide that kind of damage 😣 it shows on your face. And I was only 22 or 21 in that picture.. can you believe?) #askNostr #soberity
