Tomorrow is either going to be a huge sigh of relief or shatter our entire family. I don't want to power level, and I do have a lot of support, but... I don't know how to describe it, it's like I want to beg even strangers for all the best luck. Does that make sense to do that here? I don't like making personal posts on the farms, but this is about more than me and we're so desperate for a good outcome. I'd appreciate a small prayer or well intention in our direction. It's for a little girl.

Good luck and i do hope it turns out well for you. This place might be the arsehole of the earth to the outside, but there is nothing wrong with wanting some virtual support from your community.

Good Morning Ladies and Gents,

As the Holiday Season gradually ramps-up, seasonal depression and the sense of loneliness starts to seep in. However, know that you have the strength to prevail even in the hardest of times. The number of times you fall is outweighed by the number of times you pick yourself back up and keep moving. While it may seem bleak, you do have people who care even if just through a screen or a text chain. Life is worth living to the fullest extent.

Every step you take towards a better day and a brighter future is worth it. Treat yourself well, read that book, finish that craft and keep up on your hobbies even if you aren't the best in the moment. You have worth, and you have potential. Don't snuff that potential out before it's even began to flourish.
 
I thank the women who gave out gift suggestions for my younger sister this year. She still has yet to apologize to me, so nothing really has changed with her.

Yesterday, I bought a cheap eyeshadow palette for even less money than it originally costs, and am now waiting on it to arrive in the mail. I’m not even bothering to buy brushes with it; I’ll tell her to use her fingers to apply it. She hates makeup and will not wear it.
Even if it’s not the pettiest gift, it is something that she will get absolutely no use out of, and be disappointed by.

If things continue on this trajectory, next year I’m going to be less petty but still send home a message to her, and donate in her name to animals or children in need. Something that she’s too self centered to do herself.
At least if I’m going to drop $20-30, it’s going to go towards a good cause, and I will feel good about it.

Thank you everyone, your prayers worked 🥹. Everyone gets to go to bed safe tonight.
 
I’m going to be trying to have a good Christmas, but it might be difficult. Going back to a country that doesn’t “do” Christmas very much, not a Christian majority, to be with my chosen family. Still better than spending a holiday alone in my small apartment. But will be very different.

Also because of the cultural differences, a family member is scheduled for minor cardiac surgery on the 24th. Obviously needed, but Merry Christmas I guess.
 
Cried today because I came to the realization that the thing making Christmas feel “off” this year is the loss of Papa Mongoose.
I’ve tried to get into the Christmas spirit. I put up less than half of the decorations that I usually put up. I took a picture with Santa Claus and my Chihuahua yesterday.

Before he had his dentures, we’d give him a few things of nut mixes for Christmas. I bought some for myself yesterday, and the memories of it came back to me.

His birthday would be on Wednesday. I just want my Papa back (:_(

I know it's been awhile since you posted this but I hope your heart feels a little less heavy and broken now.

Thank you!
Most days now are fine. The holidays were easier than I thought they would be.
My aunt made calendars for the family with pictures of him in it, so that’s in my kitchen everyday.

I still have bad days, but they’re getting easier.
 
I don't know where else to post this. I got in a fight on Tumblr and I got so angry about it today that I finally took the leap and logged out. I haven't logged out of Tumblr in literal years, but I just can't stand it anymore. I've reached the same point with Tumblr I did with Facebook; all I'm doing is sharing other people's shit. I'm so afraid to say anything I care about, I feel so censored, and there's no benefit to using it anymore. Nobody ever cared about my art, I can't talk about what matters to me, the memes aren't as funny as they used to be and now I've got other sources of memes anyway. I even have Pinterest for pretty pictures, so who needs Tumblr?

I'm relieved, but I'm also disappointed. I wish the Internet was a different place. I wish I could say what I believe in and not have every fucking liberal faggot in the world jump down my throat about how bad and evil I am for wrongthinking. I wish anywhere else besides Kiwifarms felt like an actual place I belong. This is really saccharine and stupid, forgive me, I'm just feeling really out of sorts now.

I'm genuinely very sorry to hear this. Losing your place in any community fucking sucks, and I'm sure I'm not the only one here who can relate with the feeling of just not being welcome anywhere. Whether it's online or with a group of IRL friends, it's a loss, and you're entitled to feeling that way. I hope you're able to connect with people who at least respect and honor your opinions, even if they don't share them. I'm glad you can find an outlet here, at least.
 
This would probably give up way too much PL if I still was there, but who I now consider my family has been living in Dubai. Which is now being actively bombed. They didn’t want to take the evacuation flights for US citizens either, though they are, because severe hassling from US immigration enforcement is the reason they left in the first place! (Naturalized, but I don’t think those thugs gave a shit).


Now they’re stuck in Oman and have a flight booked to SE Asia, just to get away. I feel so terrible about them having to effectively flee twice in a year. And it hurts to see some places I liked to go get hit. Like, I can’t return some Lululemon that I got as a gift when I was there last, because the store is just glass and rubble now. And I have been to the American consulate that was struck by a drone.
 
I am bad at voicing my thoughts in great details so I'll keep it simple, even if a bit cheesy- stay safe, my fellow lady kiwis. Remember that you only live once, so be mindful of your safety and wellbeing 🐈
 
My fellow ladykiwis, please show yourselves as much love and compassion as you would to your friends and family. Before you beat yourself up about something think about what you would say to a loved one in the same situation. I bet it's a lot kinder than what you say to yourself. You are worthy.
 
Probably posting too much, but I just filed my own taxes for 2025! Not that I want to give the US government war funding or funding to gas my neighbors (I also lived in Minneapolis before), but I have to do everything correctly and tie up any loose ends in the states.


But I never filed them before, I married young, so first my dad, then my ex, filed them for me, and I would just sign with little understanding. Keeping me ignorant of most financial stuff was a means of control and it’s honestly very embarrassing to be north of 30 and to have never handled your own financial life. But, I’m learning, even though I was anxious that I would fuck up the whole time (foreign earned income forms are a bitch).
 
I’m sitting with the big news that a member of my family has breast cancer. As far as I’m aware, I’m the only one who knows about it other than my family member and their doctor. I found out about it because said family member left their paperwork about it out in the open. That’s another reason why I’m not mentioning it, because technically I was snooping.

I know that she’s probably keeping it to herself for now because the rest of the family will be crushed by it. Especially after grandpa Mongoose passed away last year. I’m trying to keep my hopes up about it and praying about it. I’m going to feel a little guilty that technically I know about it, and that I didn’t tell the others. But at the same time, I don’t feel like it’s my place to spread that information right now.

And there’s also the nagging thought that it could happen to me someday as well.

Please get your mammograms checked ladies. I’ve been praying for another older man as well who’s dealing with prostate cancer.

And if you are religiously inclined, please join me in prayer for both.
