  • I was born in the 80s. Mom was a teacher, Dad worked in IT.

    Both conversations were not especially made out to be a… ok listen carefully we’re going to talk about this now. They were not made out to be a big deal, just happened naturally.

    It was part of everyday life, if the subject arised it was not ignored, we were kept up to date on news and when we hadl questions about any subject, we always had an answer, we were encouraged to think critically about subjects being politics, sex or drugs, didn’t matter.

    At the time my country was going through a very serious drug crisis, so it was impossible to ignore.

    Fortunately the decriminalisation of all drugs lowered the drug problem significantly, but I was in college at that point.














  • I guess it depends on where you live. In my town its just assumed the cars are going to stop anyways and so pedestrians are dangerously dismissive of the existence of cars on crossways, sometimes people don’t even look before crossing.

    Drivers have learned this and are always super careful near crossways and new arrived pedestrians get used to it quickly and keep the pattern going.





  • I know nothing about this subject as I’m not personally acquainted with anyone that has to go through it but, as a woman that struggled with weight well through adulthood, to me you look and sound like a woman who’s self conscious about her weight.

    There’s billions of us out there. What worked for me was just try to stop thinking of myself through other people’s eyes and restraint myself for the sake of my health.

    I was 30 when a doctor said, if you don’t stop overeating now, being fat will be your defining characteristic. That opened my eyes, but still today at 40 and with a healthy weight, looking at sweets and pastries is still an internal struggle, a dialog I have with myself over and over. I suspect it’s going to be one for the rest of my life.

    Sorry my comment went on a tangent, but to be honest the being a woman part of your post seemed less important, since it’s clearly just what your are.
