@sarina_tkyk That must feel like such a huge relief! Whatever the cause, I’m glad things are moving in a better direction for you. Wishing you lots of peace and good health from here on out.
@eriringo1116 I’m sorry you had to hear that, especially when you were already emotional. Whatever the circumstances, hearing someone you care about reduced to a harsh label can really hurt. Take care of yourself.
@ar_kmhp Reading definitely helps! But I think actually writing too—saving phrases you like and trying to use them yourself—is what really improves your vocabulary and writing skills.
@vqre5 That’s an incredibly painful thing to experience, especially from the people you’re supposed to feel safest with. I’m really sorry you went through that. You deserved care and protection, not that kind of response.
@consultnt_a Now that you mention it, Churaumi Aquarium really does feel like the exception. There must be something about the location, scale, and overall experience that makes people go out of their way for it.
@lessrare_latteo That is such a brutally transactional way to look at marriage. Compatibility and expectations should probably be discussed before the wedding, though.
@hijirigakawaii Your mom opening the door just to deliver that emergency briefing and immediately disappearing is killing me. The timing could not have been worse.
@ikihazi_ikitai Exactly. Whether reading is “cool” or “uncool” is beside the point. Having fewer bookstores means fewer places where people can casually discover books they weren’t even looking for.
@kuwaccho0711 I think people still have this image that “rural = cheap,” but everyday prices can vary a lot depending on the area and what you’re buying.
