Confessions of a Person Who Cut Out All Sugars For 5 Months
I didn’t wake up one morning with a spreadsheet or a master plan. I didn’t read a book, watch a documentary, or get advice from a nutritionist. I was just tired—tired of my body feeling out of control, tired of constant cravings, tired of the cycle where food decided my mood more than I did.
So around mid-August, I made a decision that sounded simple and turned out to be brutal: I cut out anything sweet. Not “low sugar.” Not “sometimes.” I mean no fruit, no honey, no desserts, no juices, no syrups, no candy, no chocolate, no artificial sweeteners. If it tasted sweet, it was gone.

“Why can’t she just fucking stop sometimes?”
We were just sitting in the car, not even arguing, just existing. And I looked over at her and in my head, I said, “Why can’t she just fucking stop sometimes?”
Stop being difficult.
Stop snapping at me and the kids over every little thing.
Stop being so damn cold all the time.
Stop acting like everything we do is a burden to her.
Just… stop.[Read more…] about “Why can’t she just fucking stop sometimes?”
“Advice on being alone for the rest of my life”
How do I cope with being single and lonely for the rest of my life? I’ve learned to accept that I’m an unattractive woman. How do I accept the fact that I will be single for the rest of my life? Are there any tips to permanently get rid of attraction and the urge to be with someone?
Do not say things like: “Oh, you’re not unattractive or you haven’t found the right person yet.” I don’t need false positivity or encouragement. Do not talk about how you were alone for years and then found your partner. I’m not interested. Let’s be realistic, not everyone gets married or finds the right person. A lot of people die alone, and I strongly feel like I’m one of those people.

The Greatest Gift You Can Give Your Kids: Letting Them Be Who They Are Meant to Be
I want you to think back to your childhood—who was the person who made you feel seen? Really seen. Maybe it was a grandparent who lit up when you walked into the room. Maybe it was a coach who believed in you when you didn’t believe in yourself. Or maybe, just maybe, it was your parents.
If that was you, then you won the lottery.
Because at the end of the day, the greatest gift a parent can give their child is the unwavering belief that they are exactly who they are meant to be. That they are worthy, loved, and enough—without conditions, without caveats, and without having to perform for your approval.

A Beginner’s Guide To Eunuchs
Eunuchs tend to show up in history the way sharks show up in ocean documentaries: briefly, ominously, and usually right before something important happens.
They’re almost always portrayed as villains, schemers, or tragic figures. And yet—empire after empire kept creating them. Which should immediately raise a question.
Why would so many civilizations independently arrive at the same brutal solution?
“Fiancée cheated on me and I’m devastated for wasting time and nobody will love me anymore”
I (32M) thought I was getting ready to marry the love of my life (28F) after we spent 6 years together and I proposed to her last year. We had so many good life experiences together and I thought she was going to be my soulmate, but now I regret ever thinking that.
I got sick recently during New Year’s and had a high fever, but we were both invited to a party by my friend. I told her to go because I sincerely trusted her. He texted me a video during the night showing my ex-fiancée make out with another guy, and that destroyed me. I was so angry.
“My ex-girlfriend is demanding refund for her car payments”
Last year I used my credit score and my name to purchase a car ($34,000) for my ex-girlfriend. She used her cash for the down payment, but the car is entirely in my name and my name is on the loan by itself.
Every month she has been consistently sending me payments through Zelle to pay for the car every time I sent her a screenshot of the payment that I made to the loan, and it has been going on for almost a year.
She currently lives in Mississippi and I live in Houston. Recently, we argued and she stopped sending me payment while still driving the car, but she is demanding me to send back all the monthly payments (through Zelle) that she sent me in order for me to get the car back. What should I do?
