RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I mentioned liking the wicked movie once to my grandma and now she's always sending me wicked merchandise and she got me the dvd. It makes her happy and I don't want to make her feel bad but I can only eat so many boxes of wicked cereal. It weighs on me.

I have something similar with my mom. When she sees a certain popular painting, she thinks of me. The only problem is that I don’t really care about that painting, but an ex from high school loved it. My mom somehow just started associating it with me instead, and so if she gives me something with that painting printed on it, I still enjoy it, because now it reminds me of my mom and how she wants to do something nice for me.
