2024.05.19 22:19 malcolio DRAFT 2 - NTW in Alphabetical Order. Chapter 1: Alsace-Lorraine
 | Europe in Early January, 1805. How the continent looks at the start of a Napoleon: Total War game. submitted by malcolio to u/malcolio [link] [comments] (Thumbnail) Seven years ago I started posting a writeup of playing a game of Empire: Total War with the challenge of conquering every region in alphabetical order. This was inspired by someone trying to play Crusader Kings in alphabetical order back in 2006. After 75 chapters, with about 2,600 images and just a silly amount of text, I completed the game and swore off touching another Total War game for some time! I’m now back, to try and achieve the same goal of conquering every region in alphabetical order but in Napoleon: Total War. I’ve never finished a game of N:TW before, so it will fun to see what this more focused and refined(?) version of E:TW will be like to play. As with my last playthrough, I’m using DarthMod and playing on Normal/Normal difficulty. I have no idea if those settings will make this challenge too easy or impossible, let’s find out! Napoleon Bonaparte’s stats and the 11 regions I have to sell off before I can start this challenge. There is a vast quantity of books studying the life of Napoleon Bonaparte, but what none of them will tell you is that he had a passion for the alphabet just like King Louis XIV. So obviously he was forced to sell off every region of the French Empire so that he could conquer the entirety of Europe in alphabetical order. Unfortunately if I lose France I automatically lose the entire game, so I’ll need to unofficially keep hold of that, but otherwise I first need to trade away Alsace-Lorraine, Aquitaine, Bretagne, Corsica, Hannover, Normandie, Pays d'Oc, Picardie-Champagne, Piedmont-Liguria, Provence, and the Southern Netherlands. At the moment the French Empire’s prosperity is spectacular, its prestige sublime, but that’s going to take a bit of a hit… The French military units in those region capitals will soon need to vacate, most are just militia and basic cavalry, but Strasbourg has a decent sized force led by Napoleon’s brother-in-law Joachim Murat. The French Imperial Army, scattered across Alsace-Lorraine, Northern Italy, and Hannover The rest of the Imperial Army is along the empire’s eastern border. Napoleon himself commands the largest army to the west of Strasbourg, close to two smaller forces led by Marshals Michel Ney and Louis-Nicolas Davout. Over in Northern Italy a detachment led by Marshal Jean-André Masséna guards the border with Austria, and in isolated Hannover a similar-sized group guards the city with Marshal Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte as its commander. The two French fleets, one off Portugal and the other near Genoa, and the flagship Scipion. The French Navy has just two fleets. The Atlantic Squadron is currently stationed near Portugal, Admiral Pierre-Charles Villeneuve commands the immense 122-gun Scipion, two 3rd rates, two 4th rates, and frigate. The Mediterranean Squadron is near French-controlled Genoa, led by Vice-Admiral Victor Durand it consists of just two frigates and a corvette. Soon the French Empire won’t have any ports that need defending or to repair ships at, and my income is about to nosedive, so I think it’s time to do something reckless… An outnumbered French fleet is defeated by Britain’s finest, but not without scoring a massive blow against the Royal Navy. Admiral Villeneuve is told to take his fleet north and engage whatever enemy vessels he can find, to sink as many ships as possible even if it risks wiping out his own. It doesn’t take long: in the Bay of Biscay the Atlantic Squadron bumps into none other than Vice-Admiral Nelson and a huge British fleet. The two commanders had previously fought at the Battle of the Nile as Rear-Admirals, and in reality weren’t due to meet for another 10 months at the Battle of Trafalgar. The British fleet greatly dwarfs the French, with Nelson commanding his own 122-gun Heavy 1st rate, a 1st rate, two 2nd rates, and three 3rd rates! I auto-resolve the battle, resulting in an expected defeat. Villeneuve survives on board a battered Scipion, with only a 4th rate for company, but somehow his squadron managed to sink every British vessel except for Nelson’s Rose! The Royal Navy has suffered a pyrrhic victory, my navy upkeep costs have gone down by more than 1,000 gold, and what remains of the Atlantic Squadron flees south to join up with the Mediterranean Squadron next turn. Parts of the French Empire are sold off, ready for them to be retaken in alphabetical order with the rest of Europe. With those naval manoeuvres finished I start haggling with other nations to remove eleven French regions that are stopping me from starting my alphabetical challenge. I sell each region to a different ruler, to get as much cash from the sale and to stop any one nation becoming too powerful. I try to give territory that is towards the end of the alphabet to my allies, and those towards the start to my enemies, to prevent having to backstab my friends until I’m already forced to destroy them anyway. While cash is important I also barter for as many technologies as I can: one technology can take 7 turns to research, gaining them now will pay dividends in growing my economy and strengthening my armed forces. The main achievement of these region swaps, apart from losing all my income and making me only one region away from defeat, is completely changing the United Kingdom’s foreign policy: by letting George III have both a personal and political union with Hannover I convince the British Empire to abandon all of its allies, and instead join the side of its centuries-old nemesis. That recent battle in Biscay didn’t seem to matter! Along with becoming friends with Prussia I now feel less worried that Paris might be immediately marched on, though it’s hard to tell how long these new alliances will last. The first unedited screenshot of the game. France is exempt from taxes, to help pretend it doesn’t exist, which doesn’t help the Empire’s negative income. After all those region swaps I now only control France, as mentioned before I can’t remove this territory without automatically losing the game. So to try not to benefit from being forced to keep France I’ve set myself the rule that I cannot build anything there, cannot research there, cannot recruit any troops from Paris, and the region is exempt from taxes. I keep a company of Grenadiers à Cheval and two artillery batteries to defend the capital, together they cost 546 gold a turn in upkeep so Paris is losing me money! Right, the game is now set up to start my challenge of conquering Europe in alphabetical order (sort of, ignore France). Which region do I need to capture first? Alsace-Lorraine. Only just traded to the Austrian Empire, it is surrounded by French armies including one teleported from Hannover. This is Alsace-Lorraine. Two images ago it became Austrian, in exchange for 5,530 gold and two technologies that would have taken me 14 turns to research. Unfortunately for Austria the region is surrounded by the bulk of the French Imperial Army, so the question isn’t how will I immediately conquer Alsace-Lorraine but can I do so without losing a single soldier? The full might of the Imperial Army is amassed against Strasbourg, defended by a small number of Austrian infantrymen and some armed civilians. Marshals Ney, Murat, and Bernadotte link up to immediately attack Strasbourg together. The full stack of units is supported by further armies commanded by Napoleon and Marshal Davot. Protecting the city is just five companies of Austrian line infantry, supported by hastily-armed citizens. Alsace-Lorraine is captured, denting the expected deficit and allowing resources to be spent on improving the French military and economy. It would be insanity to resist such an attack so the small Austrian infantry detachment wisely surrenders without a fight. Unfortunately, yet again, there is no battle to see here! I choose to peacefully occupy Strasbourg and immediately start the construction of basic roads, a cannon factory, a musket manufactory, and an iron mine, plus a cantonment to replace the local tax office. Until that’s all built I can’t actually recruit any more soldiers, cavalry, or artillery (as I’m ignoring France existing). So avoiding a battle is boring but the troops I have are priceless! The people of Alsace-Lorraine are unhappy under French rule, despite being Austrian for less time than it takes to read this sentence. Luckily I need to keep a large garrison here anyway to protect against my enemies to the east, and I also lower taxes a little to keep the region’s population and wealth growing, so the newly conquered population should be content for now. OK, so far this challenge seems ridiculously easy, I captured my first region immediately without a single casualty. What’s next? Aquitaine. Until very recently French, traded away to the Russian Empire. This is Aquitaine. Like Alsace-Lorraine it was part of the French Empire but quickly traded away, this time to Russia, and like Strasbourg an enemy force has magically popped into existence to guard the region’s capital. Unlike last time though there are no doom stacks waiting, ready to steamroll the city. What I do have is a random collection of units which originally guarded Bordeaux, Rennes, and Toulouse. A force of two companies of Chasseurs à Cheval (light cavalry) and two cohorts of the local National Guard is led by Captain Alexandre de Rosée, who waits for a company of Chevau-légers Lanciers (lancer cavalry) and another cohort of militia to reinforce him from Bretagne. Combined, this ragtag group of misfits should be enough to win against six battalions of Russian infantry squatting in Bordeaux. So attacking the city will need to wait until next turn, but before we move to Late January 1805 I have a few chores to do… The French Empire is leaps and bounds ahead of every other nation in research, but this has ground to a halt until a college can be acquired. One task is to think about researching new technologies. Most nations begin with all technologies locked, some are lucky to have already researched one or two when the game starts. France is luckiest of all with three technologies already researched: Army Corps Organisation, Conscription, and Division of Labour). Thanks to those earlier region trades the French now also understand Classical Economics), Fire and Advance), Improved Coppering), National Debt), and Public Schooling. Those technologies provide various small economic and military bonuses which will take any other nation at least 50 turns to research, so I’m at a significant advantage on turn 1. However with my self-imposed rule of ignoring the existence of France I cannot use Orléans to start researching any new technologies, instead I send my two gentlemen east towards the first region which will provide a college I can use. It will take more than 10 turns for François-René de Chateaubriand and Jean Rapp to reach their destination, in the meantime my enemies will have unlocked a new technology each, and I have to hope the college they’re travelling to will be controlled by the French Empire by the time they arrive! Charles-Louis Schulmeister, French spy extraordinaire, joins them on the journey. The French Council of State sees the appointment of a Keeper of the Seals, and new trade deals dent an expected deficit. One other job to do before ending the first turn is to review who is running things. My starting ministers all have decent stats except for 3 star Keeper of the Seals Claude Ambroise Régnier. I replace him with a string of candidates until one, Oliver Molyneux, arrives with the Stallholder trait which give him a total of 4 management stars. That one extra star means the cost of repressing unrest in my regions is 3% cheaper, and that repression now has a +1 bonus. Small benefits like that could make or break my game in the long run! Selling off all my regions severed all my trade routes. I reestablish all of them except the one with Spain, as I no longer have a sea or land connection with the Iberia Peninsula. Instead I create a trade agreement with the Electorate of Hesse-Kassel, worth 300 less gold than the Spanish agreement. Overall my trade income has dropped by 1,100 gold since I started this game, but at least I’m now only going to lose 2,880 in gold per turn! This is just a draft, it will be taken down when I post the finished thing on the total war subreddit. |
2024.05.19 22:18 PureReaperOfSouls Maximum TQQQ investment
Kind of a stupid question, but what is the theoretical maximum one could invest in TQQQ? Let's say you're considering a one to two month timeline. So if it takes multiple days to fulfill your order, that would be ok.
A quick Google search says that the daily volume can be anywhere from 45 million to 100 million. Does this mean if you want to buy $300 Million worth of TQQQ, it would take 3 days for all of the buying to go through? Looks like TQQQ has something like 19 Billion in net assets.
Is there a limit? If I'm not mistaken, single stocks will limit the amount of open shares a single person or company can buy, is there something similar that can happen with TQQQ?
If Elon Musk were to submit a $20 Billion buy order on Monday, would it even be possible?
Just trying to better understand how this works, thanks!

2024.05.19 22:18 kitty____cat El Al Flight Personal Item + Carry On
Did El Al Airline’s weigh your personal item and carry on? Do they weigh your items at checkin and when boarding, or just once?
I contacted El Al customer service and they said carryon can only be 17lbs but the personal item doesn’t have a weight capacity.
Does this accurately reflect what’ll be enforced at check-in?
I’m flying from LAX to Tel Aviv if that makes a difference.
Going to be living out of my bags for 3 months so trying to pack strategically

2024.05.19 22:17 Beautifuldolphins Long distance dating - Taking it to the next level
Hey guys. I'd be happy to hear your input on the following situation. I read the book up to 5 times a while ago and am now reading it again.
So I've been seeing this 22 yo Filipina online since I'm visiting the country later this year. We've been texting every day and video calling 3 times a week for almost 2 months, and I believe we have a good connection. We talked and texted a lot initially and she was very forward, always initiating contact, sending pictures, etc.
🚩Red flags include: • drinks, travels to islands where there are a lot of foreigners • recently out of a 4-year relationship (few months) • sensitive when I'm not answering quickly, • removing messages and pictures she's sent, • removed many pictures from her Instagram, • unsure if she wants kids (but appreciates that I'm good with children), • comes from an 8 kids family with no stable father figure
My interest fell early on when I was mistaken for a "French guy" by her friend, so I pulled back and I could sense that she was as well.
This week she gauged my interest it seems by asking me if I'm seeing other people. She also asked if I said "girlfriend" out of the blue. I asked if she wanted me to get rid of the others and she said "It's up to you". I asked her to be my girlfriend (not a good move). She blushed and smiled but didn't give a straight answer.
Later her manners had changed and she wasn't as sweet. She told me she wanted to get to know me better, and gave some instructions on how I should act, implying that I needed to text and call her more. She said I could ask her again in a month. I concluded that we are not a couple.
I felt like she wanted me to ask considering the hints she gave me, and then pulled back which confused me. Now I understand that she was gauging my interest by seeing where my head was at. Her hot and cold behavior made me second guess where we were headed, so I decided to walk away since I was also seeing other people (which she knew) while leaving an open door if she changed her mind.
Yesterday she drunk-called me explaining that she was upset and confused about my texts, that she was unsure about how I felt about her, that she felt like an option to me, that I'm different from the others, and that she missed talking to me and wanted to get to know her better before entering into a relationship. I asked if she wanted to be exclusive and she said "Yes! Of course!". I said, "Okay then I'll get rid of the others", which I now have.
Currently, she's on a trip to an island with her girlfriends where there are a lot of parties and foreigners. She said that she remembered most of what we talked about, and agreed to talk when we were both clear-headed and that she would call me. I've got a few things I'm considering bringing up.
What do you think about all of this, and what advice do you have for me?
Thanks for reading.

2024.05.19 22:17 ikiphoenix 7.5 Months After My Hair Transplant in Miami, Maine
 | Hi everyone, submitted by ikiphoenix to Hairtransplant [link] [comments] We are now 7.5 months post-hair transplant done in Miami, @ American Mane. I've uploaded 3 photos so you can see the progress, with more available on my profile. I'm extremely happy with how far I've come. There is still potential for more growth in the coming months, which I am hopeful for. So far, the results have been truly amazing. The density, look, and feel are really, really nice. This is my update. For those curious, I am still using Minoxidil in the morning and eveming, taking Saw Palmetto morning and evening, along with a few other supplements, and using the LLT Helmet as usual.No Finasteride Thank you all for your support. |
2024.05.19 22:17 ncfroc Visible Port On Hold - Success
I just ported my wife's number over from Visible and it didn't go smoothly but thanks to the USM Ports Specialists for their help.
I requested the Visible port PIN through the Visible app and did the $45/3-month promo as a second line on my USM account. Everything looked OK until I received the first Port On Hold email a few minutes after the order was placed. The email from USM said "previous carrier has not yet responded to the port request". 10 minutes later I received another email from USM that said "currently unsure what the holdup is and your previous carrier hasn’t provided any reason for this".
I contacted Visible chat from my wife's phone and they said that I had requested 2 port out PINs although I only requested one. When requesting it, they sent an email and a text and both had the same number. I'm not sure how they think I requested twice but I definitely only did one request and only had the one PIN. They confirmed all my information and said USM could resubmit the port.
USM stated that to resubmit the port, they have to cancel the first port and then try again. However, if Visible already released the number and they cancel the port, then the number will be lost. They asked that I contact Visible again and double-check that the number had not been released yet. I did this and Visible assured me that they still had it and to have USM cancel/resubmit the request.
After informing USM that they could try again, the port went through instantly. I was a little nervous about losing her number, but am really happy that USM was very cautious and knowledgeable.
Thank you to Ahsan, Fateen, and Raza USM Ports Specialists!

2024.05.19 22:17 NotANinjask I powerscaled the average human
Recently there have been a lot of posts downplaying humans in versus battles. Claiming silly things like humans would lose to Goku, or humans wouldn’t be able to kill the Hulk just by outsmarting him. I’ve made this post to try and set the record straight with a full powerscaling of the Humanverse.
Strength
How strong is a human? We know a few things about the Humanverse: An “ant” is described as a six-legged monster capable of lifting 50 times its own bodyweight. It’s also considered a fodder-tier enemy to humans and other creatures, to the extent that millions of ants can be killed at a time even by an unskilled human.
Humans have a power where whenever they lift something or perform any physical activity they get slightly stronger. This can happen even through casual activities outside of a dedicated training arc. To give an idea of how fast a human can power up, in the event known as “boxing” humans often fight for multiple rounds within the span of an hour. It's not uncommon for humans to perform differently in different rounds, indicating there must have been a rapid change in their power levels because we all know that the stronger character always wins the fight. Now you must remember that humans live over 80 years frequently, so (using a low estimate) if the human only lifts things once per day, and only gets 1% stronger each time, they would be 1.53E+126 times as strong after 80 years of training because of EXPONENTS. In reality, we should expect it to be higher since humans can train multiple times per day.
It is said that humans could destroy their planet by accident with their lifestyles. In particular, it was stated in-universe that too many human babies could destroy their own Earth. A human baby scales to planetary level, possibly scaling up to universe level and beyond as they grow older.
Durability
Humans are able to survive attacks from other humans, which implies a high level of durability in itself since humans are universe busters. Even a young human can survive attacks from a very old human.
We get excerpts that suggest that humans are only considered dead when their brain dies, which suggests that humans can regenerate from just a brain. Furthermore, even attacking a human brain doesn’t cause them to necessarily die. There are cases of humans surviving attacks that destroy large parts of their brain, so really it might be necessary to annihilate a human’s body entirely to kill them.
Even so, there are examples of humans being temporarily considered dead and remaining alive after, which suggests that humans have a degree of resistance to the concept of death itself. Humans given an amount of time to live, such as “1 month to live” frequently outlast that, suggesting that some segment of the human population can warp time to extend their lifespans. Even the planet-scale enemy known as “cancer” often fails to kill individual humans, and when it does it takes months or years to do so.
Speed
How fast is a human? Humans are frequently described as dodging sniper and artillery fire on the battlefield. Sniper fire is so fast that the bullet outruns the sound of the gun being fired, which makes them supersonic, which means that humans have supersonic reaction and dodging speeds. Artillery is basically a gun but even bigger, so if we scale up the speed it means that humans are actually hypersonic in reaction and dodging speeds.
But remember, we don’t know how fast sound travels in the Humanverse. It’s said that when a human does something, it’s possible for one on the other side of the planet to hear about it in moments via technology. This is a gazillion times faster than sound normally travels, which means humans are faster-than-faster-than-hypersonic which I don’t know what that is so I’m just gonna say fuck it and put light speed.
Even if we ignore the speed of sound scaling, humans also frequently dodge cameras which do operate at light speed. Now remember this is a base human without any powerups, so really we should expect a human after 20 years of training to be massively FTL.
Outerversal and Higher?
We haven’t even gotten to the juicy part yet. It turns out that human scientists discovered their universe is made of 11-dimensional objects, under a discovery they called “M-Theory”. What this implies is that humans are 11-dimensional entities. According to dimensional scaling, this means that any character with less than 11 dimensions may as well be a flat piece of paper to humans.
This may not make sense at first, since humans frequently claim to be 3 dimensional. However, clearly they’re just talking from their own perspective - and besides, downscaling doesn’t exist so we should take the higher number to be an immutable fact.
Individual humans are capable of creating fictional universes, giving them outerversal status at bare minimum. They are furthermore capable of creating characters that are themselves outerversal with the same creating power, yet are unable to affect humans in their world. Take the following scan:
So in conclusion prime Mike Tyson solos your favorite verse.

Even if we ignore the speed of sound scaling, humans also frequently dodge cameras which do operate at light speed. Now remember this is a base human without any powerups, so really we should expect a human after 20 years of training to be massively FTL.
Outerversal and Higher?
We haven’t even gotten to the juicy part yet. It turns out that human scientists discovered their universe is made of 11-dimensional objects, under a discovery they called “M-Theory”. What this implies is that humans are 11-dimensional entities. According to dimensional scaling, this means that any character with less than 11 dimensions may as well be a flat piece of paper to humans.
This may not make sense at first, since humans frequently claim to be 3 dimensional. However, clearly they’re just talking from their own perspective - and besides, downscaling doesn’t exist so we should take the higher number to be an immutable fact.
Individual humans are capable of creating fictional universes, giving them outerversal status at bare minimum. They are furthermore capable of creating characters that are themselves outerversal with the same creating power, yet are unable to affect humans in their world. Take the following scan:
And then Alice wrote a story about Bob writing a story about Charlie writing a story about Dennis writing a story.Humans are able to outscale meta-narrative systems infinitely nested on themselves and can create characters of arbitrary power to interact with narratives on any level. There’s no doubt about it: All fictional universes exist within the Humanverse and are considered to be infinitely below even the weakest human. They meta-outscale even the strongest meta-universes to a meta-infinite degree according to my meta-matics. Something something patafictional transcendent cosmological blah blah blah I give up.
So in conclusion prime Mike Tyson solos your favorite verse.
2024.05.19 22:17 Takomahill It’s not working, next step?
As of tomorrow May 20, I will have been on OZ for one year. I’ve only lost 20lbs and need to lose about 80lbs more. I lost the 20 pretty much in the beginning and felt the things people talk about…more interested in healthier foods, done after a few bites, etc. It was amazing. I got sick a few times, very unpleasantly. So I took the moving up, I believe it’s called titration, up very slowly. Long story, just started at the highest dose of 2mg for about a month now. I logged on Lose it for about 200 days, gave up but now doing it again for 3 weeks or so, with no real success. I don’t feel that I’m feeling anything more from the higher dose except maybe some irritability. (I feel it and my husband mentions but maybe that’s just me too) So, thanks for reading this far..I’m sad, I knew not to expect miracles but it worked briefly and I read so many positive outcomes, now I feel like even more of a failure. I mean, not crying about it but I am pretty much the biggest person I know and my daughter is getting married in January and I still don’t have control. Was hoping someone might have ideas or suggestions, maybe I need to switch meds? My dad always said, you want to lose 10lbs of ugly fat, cut off your head! (It was meant to be a joke but…ha. ) Tia! Carol

2024.05.19 22:16 TrueSouler Is my inteligence causing me to become crazy
19M I myself think that i am dumb af with certain things. Like extreme stubborness. Inability to change currect action, even tho there are more important things to do.
Little childhood background. Told by everyone i was gifted, very smart child. Learned to write and read at the age of 4-5. Basicaly nonverbal, wouldnt want to talk with anybody, extreme stuttering, scared of everything -> very curios and wanted to know everything about my surroundings and the world. Always asking questions. Didnt have any friends bcs i was wierd. Spent around 8 hours a day building legos/solving puzzlez. Forgetting to eat/sleep. Extremly determined. But if i wasnt good at something first try, i was the maddest person on the planet -> would do anything of my power to actually solve my problem. This resulted in extreme agression towards anyone who would intervine with my current problemsolving session. When i was doing my first iq test. Some of these questions vere actually hard, and maybe for the first time in my life i became challenged, trying to do everything in my power to complete the test. Result? 130ish. My parents were shocked, and said i need to attend gramar school. So as 10/11 year old i started my first year in grammar school. Fast forward to current day i am really paranoid, everyone is againts me, i can tell how fake and fabricated conversations in my school are. Noone is genuene. But then, i myself am unable to have smalltalk, i learned that people need smalltalk to connect, but i just cant do that. Im having a hard time replying to my surroundings overthinking everx aspect of my intination, word selections everything, with people i care about(parents, gf, couple my friends) i feel like a robot, having my place, doing the same things every day, i dont even know what day is it, i wxperience extreme time blindness. I always need to do something in order to not let my mind wander around my dark future thoughts. I want to sleep but think of my broken bracelet from a month ago, i am like nah lets do it tomorow, but then i cant sleep thinking about it for 40 minutes with my eyes closed, rumbling in bed forcing myself to sleep, impossible. I get up and repair my bracelet, its 2:45 in the moring and my alarm goes of in less than 4 hours. I am like, how i was just watching a video from 3 blue 1 borwn like 30 minutes ago, turns out its been 4 hours :)) i reflect, what did i actually do. My mind then fabricates these fake memories of actually studying for physics test, texting my friend and watching a hockey match with my parent and went to sleep. Wrong i havent done any of that now in the morning i am stressing having intense halucinations my mind wanders of to extreme depths, seeing images of myself kicked out of the house, homeless, begging for food, then i see my present self bringing my homeless self a hotdog. WHICH IS SOMETHING I DID LIKE 2 YEARS AGO AND WANTED TO HELP A HOMELESS MAN OUT. Seeing this ultimate cycle of life gives me chills. I believe we are all conected somehow. But thats not the point. I dont even know where i was going with this anymore. My mind is racing at milion mph and sometimes i cant fabricate single thought or keep simple instructions in my mind like please bring a shampoo to the bottom bathroom my mum says. I get distracted by taking a dump, then forgetting completely, cuz in my mind i see myself handing my mum the shampoo and her thaking for my service. THIS IS EVEN WORSE IN MORNING, i see myself getting up, eating breakfast, texting my gf good morning text, UNTIL I REALISED IT WAS ALL JUST A WIERD DREAM AND I OVERSELPT 40 MINUTES. Dont even get me started on my dreams, these are to most complex storylines with multiple parts since dreamworld passes slowly compared to realworld time so sometime i csnt wait for second part of my dream which mostly happens next evening i go to sleep, i am now keeping track of multiple dream plotlines where in one me and my friends have our own comunity survival typa thing. My fav dreamseries :D. Honestly i cant unsee how depressing and dystopian current world-state is. Honestly i see myself dead in nomore than 10 years during ww3 where trump gets elected, refuses to help eu with russia invading The baltic states. I was believing i was going dummer and dummer. I resit my iq test, spend like 3 hours answering questions, 144. I started researching if inteligent people go crazy, found a lot of evidence, thats why i am asking, could this be my case?? I havent told these things my psychologist, dont wanna endup in psychward lol, currently we are discusing my adhd, along ocd i was diagnosed with as a child. I honestly want things to end, but i cant imagine getting my family friends and gf this sad. Im so lost and dont know what to do

2024.05.19 22:15 MineElectronic3072 Unexplained rapid weight gain
26f I’m struggling to lose weight after I randomly gained 30lbs in less than 2 weeks in March. My weight typically fluctuates 1-5lbs but after gaining the weight I’ve been staying at 160.00lbs. Never weighed this much before. I never even gained this much weight being pregnant.
Little back story- never had any health issues before this January my bp spiked to 190/135 so far none of my doctors and specialists are able to figure out the cause. Had to stop birth control and adderall and been getting weekly blood work and scans. During this my weight stayed the same up until March when I put on 10lbs within 5 days then another 20lbs the next 7 days. My eating habits never changed. After the first 5 days my doctor started running numerous amount of tests but no answers. One doctor said it must be from stopping adderall but I was off of it for almost 3 months at tht point and have been off of it for longer with no weight gain, she even switched my bp medicine just in case. I continued to gain weight for another week. Following week my doctor said it was safe to start taking bc and adderall in hopes that was it but it’s been a couple months now and I can’t seem to get my weight to budge. I’m active and watch what I eat. Looking for advice or ideas. Could something be blocking me from losing weight?

2024.05.19 22:15 LittleCowofOsasco Acoustic or Electronic?
About two months from now I’ll (meaning my mum) will buy my first kit. But there’s a problem: I live on an apartment.
Now, for the apartment e-drums would be great for practice, but for shows it would be shit, so here’s the question: should I focus on practice or shows?
Also, I take drum lessons on a music school, and I’m allowed to practice there for about 3 to 4 times a week, 2 hours each practice session; so there’s that in consideration.
(Also for anyone wondering why so soon that I’m asking this is just so I can have a basis to research on)

2024.05.19 22:15 PadamPadamMyHeart I made the decision to turn my back on two nieces and cutting them out of my life?
I am a 58-year-old male - culturally Greek, raised in Australia, migrated to the U.S. and have lived in NYC for over 20 years now. My parents raised my two older sisters – 9.5 years older with 3 children and 4 years older with two daughters, and myself, the only son and youngest of three, Down Under. I left my family in Australia upon moving to NYC in 2004 with my partner. It was tough leaving them behind because as dysfunctional as we were, we all loved each other.
Unfortunately, in the 8 year lead up to the pandemic – first, I lost my father to colon cancer; 2 years later my beautiful mother to vascular dementia; 2 years after that my 14 year marriage dissolved after my partner admitted he had been having an affair with a work colleague for several months; 1.5 years after that my middle sister and dear friend died from a brain aneurysm; followed by my eldest sister who died of lung cancer the following year.
I fell so ill from stress that I developed severe IBS and had to have emergency surgery. I thought I was going to die. If that wasn’t enough, I hadn’t even healed when I caught COVID; lost my job a few weeks later; and, then I managed to survived a home invasion during which I was assaulted and threatened with a knife but, somehow, I managed to get the two criminals out of my space in 7.5 minutes, without a single item stolen. I’ve been through a lot but I’ve always battled through.
My middle sister had two daughters, M1 aged 40, and M2 aged 38. Until my sister passed away in early 2018, I had a great relationship with M1. I was always there to support as she tended toward “unlucky in love” and was also diagnosed with lupus over a decade ago. Her mother and I were always solid support for her, and she would speak to me about any personal problem.
Her younger sister M2 is a very different character and was I was unable to build as strong a relationship – it was not purposeful nor deliberate. I made attempts and managed to get closer to her after she was married but she always tended to be more distant. As hard as I tried, M1 & I sensed that she somewhat resented my relationship with her older sister.
After my sister passed away suddenly aged only 56, we were all devastated. I flew in from NYC and was in Australia for 9 days for the funeral. I spent 7 of the 9 days with my brother-in-law (BIL) - a good man – and my two nieces M1 & M2. It was an emotionally draining stay, with a relentless stream of visitors to pay their respects.
I spent the other 2 days house-sitting for a dear friend which I gladly accepted to secure some peace and solitude. I slept at least 16-18 hours on each day. Upon returning to my BIL’s home for my final two days, M1 approached me and asked to speak to me outside in their back yard. She proceeded to tell me how very disappointed she was in me; that she felt I was an “absent mourner" and not supporting her in her grief in the way she expected; I was also not grieving "appropriately," and that her mother /my sister would be disappointed.
I had travelled 24 hours, in a blur, halfway across the globe to bury my sister and was now receiving bereavement advice from my niece. I told her to quit with the nonsense and that she should mourn her mother any way she likes, but she is not to tell me how I should conduct myself when I’m grieving.
Her voice quickly escalated, and she proceeded to then scream at the top of her voice about how disgusting I was that I wasn’t “there” to respect her mother; and be there for her. I reminded M1 that her mother, was also my sister and I knew her for a whole lot longer than she did. I also reminded her that staying for 7 of 9 days with her, does not constitute “being absent” in anybody’s language.
It was midnight, she continued to scream, yell, abuse me with neighbors being woken up on all sides. I stood up and decided to leave and not put up with her bullshit any longer. I walked inside and caught her sister, M2, ears to the door, listening to everything … and it made me realize they were bothin on this effort to publicly “dress me down”.
M2 proceeded to "stand with her sister" and yell at me, too. I was seriously flabbergasted by their accusations. My BIL certainly did not feel the same way and he told the girls to explain to him what their problem was!?! If there was a real problem – he should be the first to be complaining about me. Their anger and resentment was shocking, inexplicable and totally unfounded. I flew home to NYC two days later devastated not just at losing my beautiful sister - but at my nieces’ disgraceful performance.
In November 2020, I flew back to Australia to visit family for the holiday season as COVID enveloped the globe. I struggled to feel fully comfortable with my nieces, and one thing is for sure: they never apologized to me for their outburst at me less than two years prior. This time it was the festive season and I decided to stay some of the time at BIL's house. Upon arriving, I was shocked - the house was spotlessly clean, as my sister liked to keep it, and everything in the house was unchanged - everything was in the exact same spot, as the day my sister died. I was concerned, M1 was clearly struggling, not dealing with her mother’s death. Even her father, my BIL had started casually dating another woman, and I threw support behind him which he appreciated. M1, on the other hand, was vehemently against this, and refused to give her father’s new relationship her blessing.
Eventually, the inevitable happened – M1 starts to relay a story that I recognized as my own, and after a few erroneous details, I reminded her of the facts that she was actually deviating from. She literally exploded for not allowing her to relay my story… incorrectly.
Yet again, her screams and anger were so loud, that I actually saw neighbors peering over their fencing. She screamed at me to leave "her house" and that I was the devil. (I need to add here that both nieces became born again Evangelical Christians.) I reminded her that the house belonged to my sister & BIL, and she had no authority over whether I stay or not.
Her screams & verbal attack, (the second one now), was so loud, aggressive, and her enraged face so red, that she looked unhinged. I went to grab a mug to make a coffee and get as far away from her as I could. As my hand reached into the cupboard for a mug, she used the cupboard door to p.a. me I saw stars.I stared at her in shock and said: "You just p.a. your mother's brother," at which she just screamed even louder
My BIL arrived shortly after and I told him that I needed to leave. I gave him the facts and then told him: "She doesn't support your new relationship - not because its "too soon" - but because she's miserable and unhappy… and she begrudges anyone their happiness - it eats away at her." She screamed at him to throw me out until he yelled "Shut up!" at her. She then called us both devils and stormed into her room.
Now, a brief focus on M2. It was summer 2017, and M2 was due in November with her second child. Her husband is American and M2 moved here from Australia and were living in the Midwest. I attempted to build a closeness with her since she was living in the US. During a call to her in July 2017, she invited me for Thanksgiving that year to be with her family, as well as see her mothemy sister and BIL who were spending several weeks there to welcome their new grandchild.
I was so excited. I even told M2 that I would stay at a nearby hotel, so as not to burden them with a newborn at home. A few weeks prior to Thanksgiving, I called to confirm my dates, etc., and without missing a beat, she proceeds to tell me that it is now all too much for her and she retracted her invitation …I was dis-invited. I sat there in silence, in shock.
I had discretely asked my sister several weeks prior, whether she would consider visiting NYC with my BIL, even for a weekend, as they were going to be with M2 for over 6 weeks and were so close!
She said to me, "Do you think we haven't thought of that? We'd love to come to come to NYC and see you. But we'll never hear the end of it from ‘you-know-who’."
So, I spent Thanksgiving on my own, with no family in NYC, less than 1.5 hours flying time away from a warm, festive house that contained M2, her family, my BIL and my dear sister.
Less than 3 months later … my sister was dead. And I never got a chance to see her one last time.
That opportunity was taken from me without so much as an "I'm sorry that I did that to you." In fact, I never received an apology from either M1 nor M2 for all the things they did to me.
When I got back to NYC from the disastrous Aussie trip, M2 refused to communicate with me any further, so I knew M1 had been in her ear about our fallout and likely never even mentioned the p.a. I contacted her and mentioned that minimally, I expected her to at least hear me out.
Her response???
"In my experience, I would describe you the same way my sister would, so I tend to believe her, and my role now is to protect my family."
I replied, "What, so your family is in danger now? From me?!"
She curtly wrote: "I wish to focus on my family, my sister, and the Lord." ...or something to that effect.
I can genuinely, authentically state that I still have no idea why they turned so viciously nasty, so vindictive, and without sounding too dramatic – so evil towards me. I have my other nieces, family, friends to back me up wholeheartedly. It was ironic to me that the two evangelicals ended up being so mean-spirited, and emotionally abusive.
I knew I had to make a big decision, so I sought the counsel of some wonderful loved ones in my inner circle, and their guidance was unanimous: walk away from the toxicity. I knew I had no other choice. I have not spoken to my two nieces for four years now.
I posted this to see if others had similar experiences, and to gather feedback as to whether I *am* the a-hole for cutting my two nieces out of my life. AITA?

Now, a brief focus on M2. It was summer 2017, and M2 was due in November with her second child. Her husband is American and M2 moved here from Australia and were living in the Midwest. I attempted to build a closeness with her since she was living in the US. During a call to her in July 2017, she invited me for Thanksgiving that year to be with her family, as well as see her mothemy sister and BIL who were spending several weeks there to welcome their new grandchild.
I was so excited. I even told M2 that I would stay at a nearby hotel, so as not to burden them with a newborn at home. A few weeks prior to Thanksgiving, I called to confirm my dates, etc., and without missing a beat, she proceeds to tell me that it is now all too much for her and she retracted her invitation …I was dis-invited. I sat there in silence, in shock.
I had discretely asked my sister several weeks prior, whether she would consider visiting NYC with my BIL, even for a weekend, as they were going to be with M2 for over 6 weeks and were so close!
She said to me, "Do you think we haven't thought of that? We'd love to come to come to NYC and see you. But we'll never hear the end of it from ‘you-know-who’."
So, I spent Thanksgiving on my own, with no family in NYC, less than 1.5 hours flying time away from a warm, festive house that contained M2, her family, my BIL and my dear sister.
Less than 3 months later … my sister was dead. And I never got a chance to see her one last time.
That opportunity was taken from me without so much as an "I'm sorry that I did that to you." In fact, I never received an apology from either M1 nor M2 for all the things they did to me.
When I got back to NYC from the disastrous Aussie trip, M2 refused to communicate with me any further, so I knew M1 had been in her ear about our fallout and likely never even mentioned the p.a. I contacted her and mentioned that minimally, I expected her to at least hear me out.
Her response???
"In my experience, I would describe you the same way my sister would, so I tend to believe her, and my role now is to protect my family."
I replied, "What, so your family is in danger now? From me?!"
She curtly wrote: "I wish to focus on my family, my sister, and the Lord." ...or something to that effect.
I can genuinely, authentically state that I still have no idea why they turned so viciously nasty, so vindictive, and without sounding too dramatic – so evil towards me. I have my other nieces, family, friends to back me up wholeheartedly. It was ironic to me that the two evangelicals ended up being so mean-spirited, and emotionally abusive.
I knew I had to make a big decision, so I sought the counsel of some wonderful loved ones in my inner circle, and their guidance was unanimous: walk away from the toxicity. I knew I had no other choice. I have not spoken to my two nieces for four years now.
I posted this to see if others had similar experiences, and to gather feedback as to whether I *am* the a-hole for cutting my two nieces out of my life. AITA?
2024.05.19 22:15 Tank_Gloomy Are there any silicone cases out there?
I'm going on a trip soon, and I'd like to swap out my current hard plastic case I got from China through AliExpress. It looks fine, but its paint is peeling, and the white plastic underneath is peeking through.
I've already tried the official case and another TPU clone, all of which deteriorated in the span of 3-5 months (the TPU film unglues from the hard plastic it's glued to), I'm sick of TPU, because it doesn't withstand the acidity of the sweat coming off my fingers. What sucks even more is the fact that there's just about one or two manufacturers of hard plastic cases in China and I bought one of them (which, as I said, is already falling apart).
Any ideas or suggestions?

2024.05.19 22:15 DependentSea2 How would you handle disrespect towards your personal boundaries?
Hi, I just accepted a role as a PS but am currently doing DSP work in a group home setting until my new staff member goes through training.
I have a particular individual who touches staff nonstop. Rubs their back, touches their hair, his main thing is tickling with one hand. He’ll walk up behind staff and tickle them on their anywhere on the back, shoulder, neck, etc. I personally am not a touchy person. I have told him he can ask me for a hug but he cannot touch without asking. He was doing okay with it for about 2 months or so and started back up again. For example just today, I’ve asked him 4 times to please stop touching me and the last time I asked he shot off saying “I will not respect your boundaries” and “I will continue to keep touching you whenever I want”, says he knows he’s breaking rules but doesn’t care, threatened to stab me with a butter knife, so on and so on… how would one go about approaching this? His guardians have been made aware of this situation in the past and essentially told us that they don’t care and that’s why he’s not at home with them.
I have called our On Call PS to document the incident and locked up silverware (sharps are already locked.) Going forward though, how would one teach him to respect boundaries? I only have one staff member in the house who doesn’t mind physical contact, the other 3 and myself dont like it.
Advice within the company is slim because there have been 4 staff members that switched houses or quit because of this individual and his failure to respect other’s boundaries. He does not do this to his housemates, only staff.

2024.05.19 22:15 Agreeable_Algae_8869 AITA for not being a more involved bridesmaid and bringing a plus one?
IATA ???? Claire and I have been best friends for almost 7 years. we met in college while both being premed. I was able to get into medical school on my first try while she tried over 3 times without success and works in insurance now. She got engaged to her boyfriend as she was trying to apply to medical school for a 4th time. By then I was ending my second year of medical school and about to start my third year of medical school. Unfortunately, also during this time my then serious live in boyfriend(who was also a medical student) of 2 years died unexpectedly in an accident. I was devastated.
Claire was very supportive at first, but very quickly started to pull away from me and only wanted to talk to me about her wedding. She was always busy when I tried to make plans and was away during my Birthday, and even told me she could not be around me while I was grieving because she needed to keep her life going and plan a wedding and I was making her too sad. She spent this entire year preparing her wedding, I was one of the bridesmaids, and she multiple times showed concern that I was not as involved in the wedding preparations or responding to emails as quickly as she would have liked. One time while drunk during her bachelorette she called me a bitch for not responding to emails quickly, later denying she had any recollection of calling me that. I didn’t mean to not respond quickly It was a combinations of multiple things. Her sister was made of honor and I had a pretty busy 80 hrs per week schedule and could not answer 20 emails per week about approving the menu for the bachelorette dinner or if I preferred shorts versus pants Pijamas, or to choose what colors I wanted to wear. Looking back at it now it would have taken only a few seconds to respond but at the time I was so overwhelmed with school, studying for boards and my own personal grieving that responding to an email about choosing between lilac and violet for the bridesmaids dresses felt like a huge task. I made this clear to her and told her look I can’t be as involved in the planning but I would be happy to go along with anything you want or your sister chooses. Despite all of this I helped her picked her dress and went to multiple appointments with her and also Attended and paid my way to Her bachelorette. Even though I was a broke medical student. All the bridesmaids had a plus one for the wedding. I was planning on bringing my sister but she had a last minute work commitment she couldn’t get out off. Claire told me she preferred if I didn’t bring anyone she knew but didn’t invite to her wedding, but I explained to her that I was actually scared of going to her wedding alone, and at this point we had a lot of mutual friends so my options were limited. And she mostly invited other couples so most of our single friends/acquaintances were off limits. I was still grieving and I was afraid I would burst into tears. I made it clear that I was happy for her wedding but it was also very triggering since we both had started dating our respective partners at the same time and moved in together at the same etc, and while she was getting engaged I had to grieve the death of mine. She accused me of being jealous of her. I tried to explain to her it wasn’t jealousy but grief because attending a wedding was very triggering for me. She gave me the option of not attending her wedding if it was that hard. I told her that I felt I could attend if I could bring a plus one for support. Since she did not want me to bring someone she knew but didn’t invited to the wedding, I brought a very old childhood friend of mine that I had become closer with during the last year. He had reached out when he heard the news of my boyfriend passing away and for the last year had been checking on me regularly. We had always been good friends and he had gotten divorce during the same time so we started to talk often and support each other. He offered to fly in and be my plus one if I didn’t have anyone to come with (he lived across the country at that time) Claire made it clear that she was also not not happy with me having a plus one that she didn’t know and told me that I could bring him as long as I should be aware that I could not cater to my date since I had bridesmaid responsibilities that day. I assure her it would not be a problem.
I missed the rehearsal dinner the prior night because I had a medical school test that afternoon and then had to drive 5 hours to the wedding site I told her about this in advance. Didn’t make it until midnight. I woke up bright and early and went to the bridal suite. Had breakfast and hung out with the other bridesmaids for a bit. I then went back to my room to get ready and shower and this took maybe a couple of hours. When I arrive to the bridal suite she was getting her make up done and was clearly upset, she spent the entire rest of the evening upset and giving me the cold shoulder. I thought it was just nerves. The wedding ended and I headed back home and I texted her to thank her for everything etc. And also to apologize for not being as involved with the planning as I would have liked. She responded by accusing me of being jealous of her for getting married and purposely trying to sabotage her wedding. She accused me of making up a fake medical school exam and arriving to her wedding early but refusing to attend the rehearsal dinner, she also accused me of taking too long to get ready purposefully to avoid her and hanging out with my date way too much instead of the bridal party. She then Told me I used her wedding as an excuse to have a fling instead of focusing on her. And she then told me I had a lot of personal work to do and I have fucked up priorities in life.I tried to explain to her than none of those things happened and I have no idea where is getting all those conclusions , to no avail. She is no longer talking to me and blocked me from all social media. Worth to notice I have tried to reach out and nothing. And I heard from a mutual friend she did not get into medical school again and her now husband prohibit her from trying a fifth time since it was a huge financial strain and he wants to focus on having a family. AITA for not being a more involved bridesmaid and bringing a plus one or is she being unreasonable? I had never had this happened before with a friend. One of my other really close medical school friends is getting married next month and I am also a bridesmaid and I have had none of these issues with her.

2024.05.19 22:14 Active_Lime326 Random bleeding
Hi so if anyone can help calm my nerves or just make me feel like i’m not the only one that this has happened to it would be greatly appreciated. I have been on birth control for almost a year (a year in July). It hasn’t been perfect but it kept my periods regular up until 4 months ago. 3 of those months I have bled on the last active pill. This month is what has scared me though. I started bleeding Tuesday with still 4 active pills. At first it was just brown and because of work I put a tampon in just incase it became a flow. It wasn’t enough to fill a tampon but there was dark red bleeding. It is now Sunday and I had a little bit of fresh blood, same with Saturday, but primarily today it’s been brown clots. I took a pregnancy test on Thursday and it was negative. I take my birth control on time, only the week before last I took it 45 minutes early on a few days because of school finals. Could this be just because of stress and should I completely trust the test? I know it’s likely I am just freaking out, but I wanted to be sure and hear it from somebody else.

2024.05.19 22:14 natsthebatwiththecat Lift is broken for three months now at student accommodation
I stay in a student accommodation maintained by the Univeristy of Reading, for further context I shall link the student residence agreement. The lift has been broken for longer than 3 months now and there are a total of 5 floors. I and my flatmates are having difficult time climbing 5 floors every day, bringing in food shopping and our washing up the stairs. This has caused severe physical issues in terms of my back as well as the mental toll of not wanting to leave my dorm room unless absolutely necessary to avoid having to lug things up the stairs again. In less than a month my contract will expire and I will be required to move out, but I cannot be expected to move multiple bags and boxes weighing up to 30kgs down the stairs.
Myself and my flat mates have tried emailing our uni support but received no response. Reception team said they'll fix within two more weeks and were extremely rude and dimssibe and kept giving us false promises and telling us that other buildings have been in similar situations too.
Im wondering if there is a way for us to get a reimbursement or something for this 3 month of struggle with lift.
I have also emailed multiple times, and contacted them over 10 times regarding this issue. student-residence-agreement-2023-24.pdf
Any help urgently on this will be great and this has occurred in England.

Right now, I’m unsure about my future. While my current situation is manageable, I worry it won't be sustainable in the long run.

I’m considering three options:
- Pursue Residency: Finish my residency and obtain my license, which will take approximately 33 months if everything goes smoothly. This path would lead to a stable job and a routine lifestyle.
- Learn a New Skill: Start a side hustle by learning Java or C# to diversify my income and not rely solely on one source.
- Start a Business: Drop everything and focus on creating something valuable business-wise.
Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
2024.05.19 22:14 DarknessFalls21 High LDL & HDL + ok ApoB
Did blood tests over the weekend and everything was clean except cholesterol levels. Last tests were 12 years ago where I was a tad high but still normal. Waiting on my doctors feedback but expect him to suggest statin’s which I’d rather avoid.
36M who is otherwise quite healthy, workout daily, no cigs and moderate alcohol. Diet is pretty much med diet with a few cheat days, so only so much I can do there.
LDL is high but so is HDL. Does the 2/1 ratio help in rescuing risks. Also ApoB is within the normal range, how should I compare that in relation to LDL.
Going to try and see how it improves with less cheat days and a retest in 3 months. Also wondering about the link with arteriosclerosis and if I should consider a CRP blood test.

Hi guys, I’m early 90 days filling for naturalization. I entered to States on green card dv lottery, stayed in the country for 10 days and left. Came back after 3 months. My question is what address should I mention in this 3 months of my absence? Mailing address of my friend where green card was delivered or address in another country? When I applied for global entry, for same question I put address in another country for those 3 months. The problem is I’ve never mention address of my friend anywhere except application for the visa. It was only mailing address. Thank you

2024.05.19 22:13 Legitimate_Guest9812 Crazy LDR relationship…are we over? Clearly love has blinded me
Long story short me (31m) and this girl(23f) were madly in love. The red flag was that she wanted to wait until she was comfortable enough to meet me in person. Also there were things through out the time that rubbed me the wrong way like deleting everything in her phone because it was a “habit”….also the fact that I tried searching her up on social catfish and could barley find a thing about her. She barely showed her whole face while FaceTiming and She said she is a virgin. But a year later we still havnt met and we broke up because of another girl on my part where she assumed I was cheating on her. We continued for about 3 more months but I can tell we were falling off. Now we have completely broken up and she has found someone new that she works with. They are together all the time and even have sleep overs. I’m almost positive they have had sex. I really loved this girl, but am I holding onto lost hope? My depression gets worse almost everyday. I know half the answers are gonna be “yeah bro you’re pretty dumb” but in all honesty, I fall hard. Idk why but I just fall for women alittle harder than the average guy. I need help re striking my young handsome ego again. I want to truly fall for a girl that likes me and not a girl that I just want. I have to understand that I need the confidence enough to know when I’m living my dream. And I need to be humble enough to know when I’m living someone else dream.
