thinking back, being single was nice. you wouldn’t have another person to worry about. honestly speaking, it is a lot of work; emotionally and maybe mentally. (i made a mistake of stepping in a relationship when i wasn’t mentally ready, and it really affected our rs) though, it’s worth it coming back home to someone who would look after you a...... reply
its not weird at all. js take your time with things and it will eventually come to you. dont rush or force it. i got my first rs when i was 16, and it wasn’t the best. i was too mentally unstable and insecure that i dragged down my partner with me as well. everyone is different. dont worry about the people around you and focus on yourself reply
i think it’s all abt self-discipline? i have the same problem. i plan abt what time i should wake up so that i can do this and that, but i end up not doing it. self control is restricting yourself from smth you want, while self discipline is when you have to force yourself to do the things you want/need to do. once you force yourself into doing i...... 1 reply
ive had a lot of embarrassing moments, but what stuck to me the most is when i tripped over my huge ass luggage at the airport. literally every single person in that airport was looking at me. what made it worse was that my mom looked at me like i wasnt her child reply

what are some cultural shocks that you guys have experienced? also, do you guys think pretty privilege is a thing? have you guys experienced it?
it was a year ago. my family and i had a 3 weeks vacation to the philippines. it was lowkey creepy since a lot of people were staring at me whenever we cross a street or just walk. i asked my filipino cousin if there was something on my face, since i felt hella conscious. she said no and that it was probably because im eye-catching and im a “mestiza”..? i genuinely laughed at her, since no one in the us stares at you if you’re “eye-catching”. they would usually just tell you straight up if you look good or whatnot. ive also noticed in the philippines that people (especially the guards) tend to interact with you more if youre good looking. its prolly just me tho..
do you guys ever ask your parents to buy you something? stuff like clothes, school supplies, necessities, etc,. have you guys ever felt so guilty about asking them for something, but at the same time, you really want that thing? were very much financially stable (upper middle class), though my mom is pretty cheap in terms of money. she isnt the type of person who would spoil herself, nor her kids. i’ve experienced it first hand, but i feel bad for my younger brother since he doesn’t have a job like i do. he’s been asking me to buy him stuff that he really needs. i told him to just ask our mother to buy it for him since i’ve been saving up money, but he got scared. our father just follows and supports whatever our mother does so he’s pretty much not needed in this situation lol. i just finished college, just started my job, and moved out few months ago, so i still haven’t gotten the hang of it all. i want to confront our mother about it, but she’s been really stressed recently since she building an apartment complex. what should i do?
ps: my brother doesn’t ask for things unless it’s needed. he told me he’s been running out of clothes to wear (puberty really hit him hard).
did read 1000 manga or more
