Thank you for the stickers <3 Hope all is well!
Thank you so much for that :) I didn't have anywhere close to the same amount you did saved (since I only found out later than most) but I still dreaded losing those outfits. I now converted them and will play round in the new wardrobe some :) Thanks again!
Good luck with your final! I'm sure you'll do great :)

Yaay!! :D
Yeah!! xD I didn't know I had that many xD I thought I had around 120 lol xD
Best of luck with your final, hon!!! :D 👍 🍀
You're most welcome, hon!! :D 👍 The new wardrobe is much faster and easier to use, in my opinion! Really like it so far :D
So... I've been pretty overwhelmed with stressful events, with mostly good results, but stressful nonetheless, and I don't know if this is an appropriate place to talk about it or if that would be uncomfortable for everyone?
:)
As far as I'm concerned: Go ahead and spill, I'll listen (via sMail or comment, too). :) Sometimes it helps telling complete strangers what's going on. I think it helps with taking a step back and re-evaluate or just close that particular chapter of your life. Or hear someone say, "Wow, that was tough, good job getting through that."
How's hubby doing?
Thanks, it definitely can help, and honestly I don't have many others to talk to about it anyway. The first issue, which has been kind of paling in comparison but hey, is I called off the engagement to my highschool sweetheart, who I've been with for over 7 years. But we both agreed that we want to try building a new more functional relationship, cause there's still a lot of love there, but it's been a rough experience, and I've moved back in with my mom who I've avoided being around much since I graduated and moved out. The second issue, is a couple days ago my little sister had to testify against her dad in a hearing. The good news is they plan to arrest him. The stressful part is I can't tell anyone around me in case word gets to him and he hides or skips town, and he will have the option of posting bail and is the kind of psycho that might come after us for vengeance once he's out. Seeing her go through that ordeal was horrible enough, but the case is also very personal for me and it's hard to get my head around the possibility of him actually finally being being put away
Well, that's definitely something you shouldn't have to keep bottled up. hugs I'll be happy to give out virtual hugs as needed and assure you that both you and your sister showed a lot of courage and that it's okay to be stressed out by that. If you want my thoughts on the matter, click on the spoiler. If you rather not, please do simply ignore it.
My thoughts on this
It's okay to take a step back and build something better, especially if the two of you agree on that. People with a rough home life are more likely to fall into less-than-optimal relationship patterns, throught zero or little fault of their own in most cases - it's just a matter of learning only less or dysfunctinal relationship patterns.
I have no idea how easy it is to break those patterns or which patterns you need to break in the first place, but it has to be a good sign that you want to change something. I'll definitely keep my fingers crossed for the two of you.
As for that second issue, big kudos to your sister for testifying. Testifying against a perpetrator isn't easy in the first place, but against a parent... That was extremely brave of her. And the sad truth is that if bringing a parent to court is necessary, they're usually the kind of people I'd want to lock in a remote, difficult to get to prison cell, drop the key down the Mariana Trench and then proceed to conveniently forget where I locked them in the first place.
I hope getting this off your chest helped. If sharing more details would help, feel free to move this to sMail (and that's a standing offer). If not, that's okay, too.
Thanks, I actually really appreciate your thoughts on it, and probably will take you up on that offer. It means a lot that you're willing to listen, and definitely let me know if I overshare or just get overwhelming ok? I know firsthand how stressful other people's problems can become and don't want to do that to anyone.
big hug
Like Lanara said, you are always welcome to talk here. I too am open through smail if you would like someone else to talk to :) Sometimes it's better to talk to someone through messaging, especially through a difficult situation such as yours. I'm sorry to hear about what is going on. Best of luck with your love life, sounds like it was something needed though! As for your sister, sounds like she really was brave to stand up and testify against him. Sounds like you all need to be there for each other during this :( I can only hope they keep him locked up so none of you are harmed.

Thanks I really do appreciate it. And yeah she is hands down the toughest person I know, she's coping well though. Like she was scared at the hearing but she did great anyway, and now she's back to her usual routine. She seems relieved, but she doesn't articulate her emotions much or honestly, so we have to observe the rest of her behavior to figure out how she's doing. Hopefully that'll change once she's less stressed.
Thank you! Hm. I did miss a day but not the one I thought. Never mind. I had a hunt and found all the items I missed on the shop. Thanks for the link! Funnily enough I haven't had a single box since then. Maybe I'm just not posting enough. That can happen.
Best of luck! I'm sure you'll do fine!
No problem. The stickers are really fun this year. It's busy but it's interesting. For the first time in ages I feel like I'm accomplishing things at work. It's fun! How goes everything with you?
HUGS

Not at all! We're here to talk :D hugs
No problem! :D 👍 Oh, probably o: I've been getting a box every 2 or 3 posts aprox.
I'm sorry to hear things are tough for you right now. If you want to spill please do. Smail, here or some other way, we're happy to listen and help make things a little less difficult if we can. I hope you can get some time to calm down and find your feet. Take care.
Hm, I don't seem to be getting too many. Well, part of the issue is I just don't post much. Mostly because I think too much about what I want to say. I'm using the encouragement to tidy up my messages.
Nice look!
Ooh o: Have you played User Run Games before? o: It's an easy and quick way of getting some giftboxes! Also, thanks for the ping on Lethia's giveaway! I joined the other day :D
Thanks! :D

Thanks, all of you, it helps just hearing people care and take it seriously. Good news is it's moved from indictment to an actual warrant!
That is good! I hope it follows through with a conviction.

No boxes for me in a while and no faeries :( I have been clicking around everywhere but noticed it seems a little slow in giving those faeries. Anyone else notice this too or is it just me?

WHelp hi, just thought I'd drop back in and say I haven't froze yet! It's super cold and snow and ice though and it's ridiculous x.x
I think both you and your sister are being really brave! Changing a relationship can be scary and I hope that things work out for you both! I also hope the charges stick to that douche bag of a sperm donor (that's what I like to call good for nothing 'fathers') and he goes away for a long time!
I am also willing to talk about anything, any time I am on (or next time I am on). I find talking to other people about their problems helps me when I'm stressed, it helps me forget mine briefly. ❤ hugs
I have noticed a lack of fairies also this year!!
