2024.05.11 23:20 Previous_Size9740 Still not over the girl I was seeing, it ended in September

I write this to get this off my chest and also to hear your insights and tips, it’s long, read it or don’t.
I, 25M met this girl, 23F in a dating app in May last year. We got on quickly and talked the whole summer daily.
Come late summer we actually met for the first time, she was shy for sure, but we still had fun and talked for hours and hours. We met again for the second and the last time couple of days later, we watched a movie and spent the night at her place. Nothing beyond that ever happened between us.
After that she goes no contact. I was very surprised but being the pessimist I am, had a hunch on what would happen next. Just to make sure I asked whether she would like to meet next week. She said she was busy. I understood the message and was very sad as I had liked her like I had liked no one before. I then blocked her and thought it is what it is.
I was in a bad place for months, trying to get over her, but with no success. Then, couple months ago in February, she likes me in a dating app. I was of course cautious, remembering what had happened the last time. But after thinking about it and the fact I had never gotten over her I messaged her.
We talked very casually for a bit, then I asked if she wanted to meet. (🤡) I wanted to ask face to face about how things ended. She says yes and I was on cloud 9. We talk for a couple of weeks without ever meeting, and then, surprise surprise, she ghosts me again. This was in early March.
I thought she was the most beautiful, intelligent, funny and caring person, and I really let my guard down for her but obviously feelings weren’t mutual.
I’ve spent past six months wondering what’s wrong with me almost daily, and feeling like the biggest fucking clown in the world for letting her do this to me twice.
I honestly can’t see me meeting someone like her.
So that was it, feel free to give advice or anything really. Also there might be flaws in my English as I’m not a native speaker.

2024.05.11 23:20 pink_white_yo I may need your advice for existential crisis

Back in the day I would ask this to religious places but now I don't even know where to go I just wrote it here, pls don't ban me, even if you delete this just tell me where to share it.
I am 23 years old. I went into a never-ending depression for 3 years. I did sports, I developed a hobby and developed myself, I went to concerts, I made a lot of friends, I got screwed a lot, I did not judge anyone, I accepted them as they are, I made an effort, I made time, I traveled. I rode a bike and went swimming. My childhood was fine, I feed stray animals. I had friends, but throughout my life I felt lonely in environments etc. I couldn't find a single person who matched my tastes or approached my way of looking at life. This void was never filled. Mental loneliness is a very bad thing. I set goals for something, but after a while I can't make sense of them and stop making progress. This cycle has been going on like this for years. I can't get rid of the nihilist mentality. For example, improving in office life, looking good for the boss, competing with sycophants, etc. all these seem very tiring to me, especially when you don't value life very much, it feels like torture. people have no honor, people killing cats like insects, child abuse cases and other evils in the world depress people and darken their hope. My family has psychological disorders, they start fights for unnecessary reasons, this seems like torture to a nihilist-minded man, even if I say everything is okay, the men are crazy, they don't let go and continue to attack me. The people around me do not even have the intelligence level to empathize with what I am going through, let alone help me. When there was no benefit from the environment, I asked many people online, they listed the things I had already done, do sports, take up hobbies, etc. Some people wrote die, cursed me, etc. I went to the doctor and have been using medication for months, but I don't see any benefit. Sessions are very expensive Suicidal thoughts-hope-effort-emptiness-existential crises Suicidal thoughts again This doesn't end friends It doesn't end This damn cycle I tried once but I couldn't do it, even taking your own life is very difficult I want it so much but I'm a coward, one day I want people who understand me and have the same tastes I cannot believe that I will find myself, that I will be loved, that I will be able to achieve my dream job. Negative thoughts imprison me. I have always loved animations in my job as a motion designer, I would like to work at Pixar if I had the chance, I even bought and collected Art books. Sometimes I open them and sigh, hoping I could be among them. In the last 3 years, I have cried more than I ever cried when I was a child.
Right now, I'm half-preparing for the exam, I jog every day, I don't go on a strict diet, etc., I do personal care, I prepare meals in the kitchen from time to time, I love the kitchen. I take care of my animals. But in the evening or when I'm free, life seems so meaningless, the funny thing is that I'm not a smart person, I'm just aware that there is no God, damn it, the only thing that keeps me alive is not having the courage to finish it as I said, and the thought that there will be days when I will be happy. I really don't know what to do, show me a way, I don't want to lose my mind.

2024.05.11 23:20 RawRizzBeast326 I hooked up with a man.

Way back in 2017, I was playing Fortnite with my buds when I heard a knock at my front door. I thought it was my Chinese takeout that I ordered (I have grown to admire the British take on a Chinese meal), and so I told my pals I would brb and skipped to the front door, my hunger motivating me with every step. When I opened the aforementioned door, I was faced with a 6'5" rather attractive Hispanic male (let's call him Juan Rodriguez for the purpose of anonymity). He was shivering from the cold, and I realised that there was a few inches of snow on the ground. He said that he knew this request was weird, but he needed a place to stay since his girlfriend kicked him out. I myself know a lot about being kicked out by girlfriends, so I understood his painful situation and told him he could stay the night. I was of course quite sceptical of having a stranger in my home, but he seemed ok.
I let him have a shower in my bathroom and eat some of my Chinese when it arrived. He told me about his girlfriend and how she kicked him out. Me and Juan Rodriguez bonded over our romantic struggles, and Juan Rodriguez seemed like someone I could really get on with. Juan Rodriguez (I'm sick of typing this out, let's call him Rodriguez) had a chiselled face and was extremely conventionally attractive. As we drank the tequila he gave me as a thank you gift, I began to see him in a different light. I wanted to feel his caramel skin against my paper white flesh, his wiry moustache against my baby smooth face as we kissed. Don't get me wrong, I'm not gay or anything. I love women. However, the tequila was strong, and Rodriguez's Latin accent made me feel things I've never felt before.
As the night progressed, me and Rodriguez inched closer and closer on my black leather couch (from Argos) until our thighs were brushing against each other, Even the slightest touch made me feel like electricity was coursing through my veins. I don't remember the specifics, but one thing led to another, and suddenly me and Rodriguez were passionately making out of my black leather couch (from Argos). Needless to say, his foreign charm and skill in kissing eventually led to things getting steamy in my bedroom. After hours of intense love-making, Rodriguez suddenly pulled out a lighter and lit a candle. We sat there, snuggled together, before drifting off to sleep. (I'm surprised the house didn't burn down from the candle).
Since Rodriguez had no place to stay, he became my roommate. We shared a bed, clothes, and bodily fluids for those sweet, sweet two months. I'll be honest, the domestic lifestyle was getting to me. Even when I had to look after my kids every now and then, Rodriguez looked after them like they were his own. The hook-ups continued, but it felt like it was becoming something more as we shared stories and cooked for each other.
But alas, all good things must come to an end. One day, a woman knocked on the front door. She said that she followed some leads and tracked Rodriguez down to this house. She reminded him that they were still together and demanded he come home. I had never seen Rodriguez be submissive, but he immediately began packing his things. I could see our shared space being broken apart as he gathered his belongings. His girlfriend waited in the car as he got ready to go. Just as he was about to open the front door, I grabbed his arm. I begged him not to go, to think of the life we created together. I tried to kiss him, but he turned away. He shouted at me that this didn't mean anything, and that he was sorry, but he had to go. I watched as he walked to his girlfriend's mini van and got in. I fell to the floor, sobbing for hours.
Juan Rodriguez, if you're out there, you touched many parts of me, but mainly my heart. You know who you are. How can those two months mean nothing to you? We were venerable together. Please, please, please. Come back to me. (I'm not gay by the way)

2024.05.11 23:20 PonderNight227 How can I deal with separation anxiety with Autism?

For context, I am F(24) and I have Autism.
I have just recently graduated University and quit my 2 part-time jobs after landing a new job that starts at the end of next month.
I currently live with my boyfriend of 2 years and we are together everyday. As I have Autism, I tend to latch on to people for emotional safety and I get bad separation anxiety when away from my loved ones. Unfortunately I’ve just had to let go of most of my friends due to one toxic individual who I’m essentially hiding from. This means I have a very small number of people in my life I can trust, causing me anxiety.
My new job is a 2 hour drive from my house, 3 days in office and 2 days from home. Whilst working full time, I will also be studying for my CA qualification for the next 3 years. I decided that commuting even 3 days a week would be too much as that’s a 4 hour drive each day. So I have been looking and viewing properties in the new town to rent. My plan is to rent both apartments, staying 2-3 nights a week in my work town and then going home for the rest to be with my partner.
Everything is changing for me and as I have Autism I really struggle with change as routines are an essential part of my mental health. I’m currently buying furniture and things for my second home, but today of all days has just been very overwhelming. I have 5 weeks until I start my new job and each day becomes more and more stressful.
It’s hitting me that I will be living an extremely busy lifestyle with 2 homes, a full time job and studying for a professional qualification. I’m worried that I will burn out. But I’m also worried I’ll be lonely. My boyfriend works a lot and I know I won’t see him nearly as often. I broke down crying earlier because my gut is telling me not to do it but I know it’s such a good opportunity.
I don’t know what to do to keep myself sane. I’m preparing for the amount of time I will spend missing my boyfriend and being away from my family. Moving to a new town where I know NOBODY, and having Autism makes it extremely hard to make friends. I’m scared. I don’t know how to cope. It’s all hitting me now and I just feel so out of my depth.
What can I do? Is it normal to feel this scared?

2024.05.11 23:19 DowntownPriority4088 Blair’s insecurities are abnormal and annoying….rant

Watching gossip girl and blair can NEVER just be happy for anyone, she is such a miserable and pathetic person idc. She’s always gotta bitch and complain about how people like serena more than her and she doesn’t even understand how delusional she is. Maybe it’s because serena doesn’t walk around with her snobby nose in the air and screech at the top of her lungs about why she’s superior to everyone because she’s well bread. The whole yale fight started because of blair and her unnecessary insults towards serena. First she insults her choice of school based on classism, surprise, surprise. Then she tells her “haha you’re too stupid to even get into yale good luck with that 🤪” and then when serena proves her wrong blair is like “how could you?? 🥺” like YOU are the one who provoked her so wtf is the problem. Don’t say shit to people and then expect them to walk away happy about it. My personal favorite is when they’re in paris in season 4 and she gets upset because she thinks serena’s date is a prince and her date was the driver. It’s even better because she straight up BLAMES serena for the situation as if she can control that or something? Then she dates dan someone who she insulted for years to serena and gave her such a hard time about it but when SHE dates him it’s different and okay! She needs therapy and she needs a boyfriend who won’t sell her for a hotel.

2024.05.11 23:19 slurpeee76 Puerto Vallarta Pride

Bf and I are going to PV for vacation and happen to arrive near the end of Pride Week (Saturday). Wondering if there are any events like circuit parties that night or if people just go out to the bars. I couldn’t find any guides online for nighttime Pride events like pool parties, etc. Do events typically require buying tickets in advance? Anyone can help point me in the right direction? Thanks!

2024.05.11 23:19 P1SSY3LL0W Had a dream Kendrick dropped a new diss track and it went kinda hard

I'm mostly posting this because I like to log all my dreams but this one was music related and kind of funny so I thought I'd share it
The song was called "Noon on Tuesday too", and the cover art was 2 screenshots of Drake (younger, maybe like 2013ish) in a facetime call with a girl who was no older than 15. Kendrick dropped the song on instagram, and in the caption he shouted out some guy named "Mr. Leon", who apparently gave Kendrick both the screenshots for the cover art and the info about Drake's daughter.
the beat was this chill, slower tempo jazzy piano based beat that reminded me a lot of some of the songs off untitled unmastered. Here is my very rough recreation
The actual content of the song was where it gets wild, it started with alternating samples of these two speeches, one sounded like an MLK speech and the other was a guy giving a TED talk about how the mind of a pedophile works. Of course, as with all good dreams, I woke up before Kendrick actually started rapping, but the comments on Instagram were saying he was rapping about some really heavy shit.
I don't usually share this type of stuff online but for some reason I felt compelled to this time. Maybe Kendrick came to me in that dream and has mandated me his messenger for you all /s

2024.05.11 23:19 Legitimate-Factor-53 I Want More Money

So someone T-Boned my car and totaled it and I didn’t have the proper insurance so I got nothing out of the incident. So now after only working enough to pay for gas to go to college I have like $200 and no car. My sister is letting me borrow her car until I can get a new one since she can’t drive yet but it is going to be hard to make so much over the summer I only have about 15 weeks.
I want to make $10,000 over the summer but I estimated I can only get around $7,000-$8,000 from my job at most in that time span. I work at Kroger as an E-Commerce Clerk getting peoples groceries who order online. I make about $14.50 an hour but only go home with around 76-82% of what I make weekly. So in reality I’m not making that much.
I want to buy the same car I had before that took me a couple of years to save for it is a 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX. It cost me $7,200 and was in perfect condition and only had like 120,000 miles at the time of purchase. I also want a beater car for around $2,000 fast well.
I’m also working overtime at work right now whenever I can. But they only let me stay a maximum of ten and a half hours then force me to leave. So what should I do to make some more money? I really want my car back because it was so relaxing to just cruise around with the window down and made life especially college a lot more enjoyable. Like even if I had no time to do anything I always have to drive places and driving something I enjoyed always put me in a good mood.

2024.05.11 23:18 Tardisfan1606 Ghost Cat?

Its not really a scary story but when I was 9 I had a black and white cat called Pickles. He was mine from a kitten, followed me everywhere, slept on my bed and, much to mums horror, pinched food at dinner! When I was 14 one night I woke up because I felt the cat jump up and curl up at the end of the bed, felt the weight of a cat and all. Thought nothing of it and went back to sleep. Next morning Mum had to tell me that Pickles had been hit by a car on the road outside early in the evening he hadn't come in for food and she went to look for him and found him. I still think that was him saying goodbye.

2024.05.11 23:18 SKVgrowing Protocol for baby sitter with 2 kids (2.5y and 11m)?

We are finally ready to find a baby sitter so my husband and I can get a few date nights in (we desperately need them) now that my 2.5 yo is not so severely speech delayed.
But how in the world do you pick one? How do you get your kids comfortable with them the first time? Do we go for dinner and come back for bedtime which means baby sitter does dinner with both kids? My kids are home with me all day so are not used to anyone else besides me and their dad (and we have no family nearby).
Can anyone share how you went about those first few steps and experiences of baby sitting?

2024.05.11 23:16 leso7869 How do I be less approachable to women?

I know this sounds strange but hear me out. I don’t think I’m attractive, but I’m in my mid 20s and for whatever reason I seem to give off a friendly, innocent, warm demeanor to people. I’m average height and I think without a beard I can look younger than my age. I’m in decent shape but not muscular and far from intimidating.
To other guys I look like someone they can pick on in a light hearted way, and to girls I seem to give off a friendly vibe that they will approach me first to be friends.
This is all without saying a word or even looking at them. The problem is, my brain is far different from how I am perceived by people because of how I look. I’m not proud of it and I am trying to change to be that friendly warm person, but right now I’m quite the opposite.
I basically have all the same thoughts that a horny guy in their teens have, but I don’t seem or act like a fuck boy. I also don’t want to nor have the courage to act on those thoughts by making a move because I’m awkward and quite frankly just a bitch with my own problems I need to work on before bringing someone else in my life. I’m also not good looking enough to have one night stands.
I’m not saying I can’t be friends with a girl. It’s just that the thoughts I get are too distracting and I don’t want to make the mistake of letting some of my thoughts slip out and let them find out what I think of them, especially if they are married or in a relationship. I also feel guilty because they seem to genuinely want to be friends with me but I just want to sleep with them. I’m comfortable with not having many friends, and I want to find out a way to be less approachable because it’s hard for me to put on this act of being this nice guy.
It’s also the loud outgoing girls that approach me to make me their friend, and honestly I dislike those overly arrogant type of people, but I also don’t want to be an asshole and turn them down, so I just smile and be quiet while they talk.
Recently my strategy has been to overplay how awkward I am without being creepy, and eventually that seems to turn me away after they give me a few chances. But I don’t want to be known as the awkward loner.
TLDR: Because of my personal issues, I’m not open to friendships or dating women but I give off a friendly and approachable demeanor. How do I change this? I’m not big or strong enough to be intimidating.

2024.05.11 23:16 Serious-Ordinary-972 Which itinerary would you choose? Just Tokyo or a stop in Nikko, Kamakura and/or Hakone?

For those who have been to Tokyo, Kamakura, Nikko and Hakone, I'd love to know which combination you would choose for someone who's never been to Japan before:
  1. 8 full days in Tokyo
  2. 7 days in Tokyo and one day trip to Kamakura or Hakone
  3. 6 days in Tokyo and one day trip to Kamakura and one to Hakone
  4. 6 days in Tokyo and an overnight trip to Nikko for 1-2 nights
  5. 5 days in Tokyo, overnight in Nikko and a day trip to one of the two
My husband and I are really torn because we don't want to miss out on a really cool day trip that we should be taking but we also are excited to maximize time in Tokyo. So I wouldn't want day or overnight trips to any to take away from getting to enjoy the food, nightlife, art, entertainment and neighborhoods of Tokyo just to saw we "saw something" aka the Buddhist Temple, Mount Fuji, or the fall leaves, but want to make sure any of them are really well rounded and equally filled with great culture, food and entertainment.
Nikko looks so beautiful for the time of year we are going...late November, but I'm worried we would be bored or that it's a place more so to be outdoorsy.
Kamakura looks like cool but that the biggest highlight is the Buddhist Temple which is not reason enough for me to want to go there
Hakone probably interests me the most but I worry that it is just really touristy.
Thank you!

2024.05.11 23:16 platinum-psyche Right breast pain in one spot - no lump

Hi all, I've been having breast pain in my right outer breast - right where the breast meets the armpit. It only hurts in one particular spot, always the same spot, and only hurts when pressed. The pain is very sharp initially, but goes away when I press it - as in if I press it it hurts and then press it again just after it doesn't hurt anymore in that spot, but radiates out in more of a 'burning' feeling across the right side of my right breast. That then disappates after a while. Most days I don't have any pain at all in that breast until I press in that spot.
I've been to the GP and they couldn't feel a lump, but the pain has been exactly the same for about 4mo now with no change so going to try another appointment and push for more answers.
I was wondering if anyone has had anything similar? Obviously freaking out re the big C! I know breast cancer doesn't usuall cause pain, but I've read so much online now that I've worked myself into a right state about it.

2024.05.11 23:15 Unique_Ad_4271 Which is better counseling or nursing?

Nursing vs school counseling
I’m a former science teacher that has considered both careers. I am currently finishing off my prerequisites for nursing and doing great but I also have a chronic autoimmune disease that I’m afraid will exasperate as I age (currently 31). I applied to a counseling program online last year and I got in but decided to defer for a year to consider both options and I got in. The pay is similar to both based on the kind of work I’m considering in both fields but I can’t decide. Both help people but one is more physical labor while the other is more mental and paperwork. Both professions: Help people
Nursing: I’m hoping I could do either be a pediatric oncology, hospice, or home health nurse Downside is the turnover rate for nursing is big and that worries me about getting a degree in a profession that many people quit.
counseling: in Texas school counseling programs include the LPC license so if you wish to pursue working outside of schools you can and you can also work from home and have your own business. You also don’t have the physical demands from nursing that many people say has ruined their bodies. Instead this job has the mental demands. If I were to do this I’d like to work with kids until I become fully licensed and then switch to Grief counseling.
I’m having so much trouble deciding but if any of you are or know of someone in these professions let me know what you all think.

2024.05.11 23:14 Powerful-Shake8479 Chances of getting into these unis with an 86.5 midterm average?

I applied to 7 unis. I got offers from york (neuroscience), guelph(biological sci) and laurier (health sci) but I'm waiting on mcmaster(life sci), uoft(lifesci and psych), queens(lifesci and biochem) and western (science: neuroscience). I am very stressed and confused.
Please let me know what my chances are for getting into the 4 that I'm still waiting on?
And please give me advice on which would be the best option from the offers I have gotten so far for Medical School? I want to choose one where I could go into other careers that don't involve medschool in case I change my mind later on.
I've heard that the york and laurier programs are quite new and someone online said there aren't a lot of choices for courses to take so I've been leaning towards guelph and also that guelph has the most research opportunities from the 3 i have offers from.
Im the eldest child and I don't really know anybody that could help and guide me, none of my cousins went to uni in canada and all of our family friends are either too young or too old. I will appreciate and be grateful for any and all replies I get. Thank you for your help and time. (Please answer me)

2024.05.11 23:14 valinchiii Anyone here with kinda bad rat allergies? How did you deal with them?

Maybe I just want reassurance because the last thing I want to do is rehome my boys, but for 3 months now I’ve been dealing with nonstop allergy symptoms.
When I first got them back in September I’d get the usual raised red bumps when they’d climb on me that I hear people tend to get. I would occasionally wake up with a sore throat, but one Claritin would take care of it. Not long after the sore throats stopped and I stopped taking the Claritin. I assumed it was a case of allergies going away with more exposure, as this has happened in the past with a roommate’s cat.
Fast forward to last January and I got COVID. It was very light, I only had a fever for one day; the most prominent symptoms were congestion and coughing. I tested negative within 7 days. The congestion and coughing persisted for a few more days, but eventually went away. Fast forward about 2 weeks however and the congestion comes back and hasn’t left since. I’m congested literally every single day. For the past few weeks I’ve been taking Allegra at night and Zyrtec in the morning, but it quite frankly doesn’t seem to do anything at all. My ADHD med seems to be the only thing that helps since it has a side effect of drying everything up. When it wears off though the congestion always comes back. It’s worse at night and I have to sleep breathing through my mouth because of how clogged my nose is.
After about a month of this I went to an allergist and did an allergy blood test. Apparently I’m allergic to a lot of things, with the highest being cats and dust mites. Unfortunately rats were there too, along with some molds, grasses, and even dogs (this surprised me as I’ve had dogs all my life, but I guess I never reacted since they were hypoallergenic breeds). It’s very difficult to take in, I’ve never considered myself to be an allergic. I knew about my cat allergies but it would usually only ever be a problem if I basically smushed my face to a cat for too long.
The allergist assured me I didn’t have to get rid of my rats and recommend I do immunotherapy shots. It seems tempting since he said it should basically get rid of all my allergies if done correctly, but I’d have to go to them every week for the shot and the whole therapy can take 3-5 years to complete. My parents have good health insurance which I’m still under, but unfortunately I’ll be aging out of it in a year and I’m worried I won’t be able to afford them after that. I’m also in college and still have a year and a half to go. I live in an apartment with roommates and my bedroom is the only place I can have my rats’ cage in, which obviously doesn’t help.
I’ve tried rationalizing other reasons for my allergies, but quite frankly me getting them is the only thing that’s changed semi-recently. I recently got a big, rather expensive air purifier. I also got a sealed canister vacuum and will try using it most days. It’s still too early to tell if they’ll help IMO. I also read some people have experienced new/worsening allergies after having COVID, but maybe that’s just me coping lol. I guess I should also mention I’ve had wheezing episodes twice although it wasn’t enough to land me in the hospital. My allergist prescribed me an epipen just in case.
Bottom line, has anyone with allergies like this been able to manage them while keeping their rats? Did allergy shots get rid of them? It’s been really frustrating since I’ve always been a rather healthy person. I feel really bad because I haven’t been as affectionate with my boys lately either. I let them out for free roam almost every day (on top of my bed, yes also not ideal but I always put a waterproof mattress cover and a bedsheet I reserve for them on top), but I still. I feel like I can handle this as long as the symptoms don’t get worse, but they’re only about 8 months old so that’s potentially 2 more years of this. It’s still mainly only chronic congestion with the occasional sore throat in the morning. My parents keep saying I should consider getting rid of my boys, but I don’t know if I could handle that quite frankly.

2024.05.11 23:14 j0nnybr0wn I’ve been harassed by no caller id calls for 2 and a half years

I’ve been harassed by no caller ID calls for a while, I get three calls one after the other in the middle of the night, I changed my number and my girlfriend started to receive the same calls, somehow my new number has been hunted down and it’s happening again, I answer and there are no words exchanged. Just repetitive and harassing calls. What do I do to end this torment..

2024.05.11 23:14 No-Switch115 why do people obsess over/reward talentless people like alix earle

​​Before the age of influencers, fame used to be interrelated with talent. If you were famous, it was warranted because you excelled at a specific skill set (i.e. acting, singing, art, athletics, etc.), with the exception of some wealthy socialites like Paris Hilton. It truly boggles my mind that people with 0 talent, like Alix Earle, are being rewarded by society for drinking, posting cringe thirst trap tik tok dances, and posting skimpy pictures on Instagram showcasing her fake boobs -- even Xandra objectively has talent considering she's a DJ (and real boobs)! Before she amassed millions of followers, her content was solely thirst trap tik Tok dances and revealing bikini pictures on Instagram... cringey and weird content especially when she was getting minimal likes and no comments. I actually can't fathom that the internet chose to glorify and uplift a girl that was born into an inherently wealthy family, went to a party school, and posted thotty content online. Like is this really who we want to be capitalizing off of our power on the internet?
