Move up the ladder of my field. It will be a battle, but if I could even take one step up, I would be in a better financial position as well as happier with my work tasks. Right now I am doing entry-level work and it's rather easier, but I have to work my way up until a position opens. I am always applying. In 5 years, ideally, I will be a Director of Education and Interpretation (or a DoE or a DoI) at a historic site and maybe teach a night or two a week at a university.
If you could live anywhere exotic where would it be and why?
Exotic to me, at least, lol...Merida, Mexico. I visited it once and felt a really cool connection to it. It was amazing and the people were great. I only was able to spend a few hours there, but I really really want to go back for an extended amount of time.
After I hooked up with a guy, I was leaving and he said, "Here's one for the road." Then then he picked me up, pushed me against the wall, and gave me a really passionate kiss with one hand in my hair. My god, it was so hot.
What do you think is the most important thing in life?
Kindness, towards others and toward oneself. It changes everything about your outlook and how you feel about yourself. We live in a world that is filled with hate and ugliness. Wouldn't it be amazing if we lifted each other up and encouraged kindness? Today after reading on TIP on someone was gloating that she was happy because an SO poster had a bad dating experience, I was reminded how much it important it is to me to project kindness here on the board (I hope that even my tough love shines with kindness. I never want to be cruel to anyone or wish hurt/pain/rejection upon anyone). Interactions make a difference, whether here or in real life. I also want to strive to treat myself kindly. It honestly feels better to me to be kind.
I honestly don't understand how others derive any sort of positive feeling from someone else's pain. I'm sorry if it was you that she was talking about; I hope you don't take what she said to heart...being ghosted/blown off has happened to all of us and there's nothing celebratory or funny about it. Most of us wouldn't wish it on anyone because it sucks.
I'm assuming that it was about me because she has called me a prostitute in the past. So it's not a stretch that she and the others who agreed were talking about me. Plus it's in the top few posts with a bunch of responses over here.
But someone called me out for being vain. So I'm probably just full of myself.
It was probably about me because she's probably a big donut eater
