Sunday Confessions: 8-4-24

"I never wash produce."

Learned something this weekend — my body no longer agrees with drinking several large-batch Aperol Spritzes followed up by a couple Negronis. While Sunday wasn’t horrifying, there was the lingering sting that only wore off when I woke up this fine Monday morning.

Let’s get into this week’s confessions, shall we?

---

I am wanting to wait for him, but needing to let him go.

I sat in church this morning and out loud said, “I hope they play Taylor Swift.”

I’m moving to another city for a guy, and he doesn’t know it.

i’m afraid that i’m going to settle instead of finding my person

I’m embarrassingly bothered by the fact that my situationship almost never likes my instagram posts.

About to propose to my girlfriend of 3 years while on vacation in the Mediterranean. I know she’s going to say yes, I’m just buzzing with nervous exciting energy and need to share it with the world.

single for the first time in years… it was horrible at first but now i’m kinda loving it

The dating pool is getting so low that the prisoners looking for a pen pal I’ve been served on Instagram are starting to look good.

Unabashedly enjoying life while I watch so many around us fall into the trap of being house poor.

I can’t tell if my friends think I’m not popular enough or pretty enough or a combination of both because some how I am never included in the social media posts. I am so sad about it.

For the first time in about a year, it feels like things finally might be starting to go my way, but I’m scared to say it out loud for fear of jinxing it.

My mother’s finances are a mess, her health to us seems to be declining and I don’t know what to do. She needs to help herself but we don’t know how to get her there.

I can’t stand sleeping in a warm bed. I love cool sheets and even cooler air. My partner gives off so much heat at night that I buffer with a pillow to keep from making contact. Am I too dedicated to my sleep quality or is this weird?

Had a double mastectomy last week. Friends are going through a divorce. Secretly living for the drama. Also want to tell them to shut it because hey at least they didn’t have surgery because their body was trying to kill them.

I hooked up with my ex and we hadn’t seen each other in over a year. Yes, I regret it. I blame it on the dirty martinis.

Husband went through my phone and unfollowed someone he's always felt insecure about. For no particular reason, no flirty/suspicious messages found or anything at all. I don't really mind about the unfollowing thing but him going through my phone and doing that really bothers me. I've been resentful all week, it shows how little he trusts me.

One time I gave a patient extra Ativan by accident and I didn’t report it to anyone. Luckily they were fine.

I never wash produce.

I’m the only one in my friend group that works non-traditional hours (I’m in hospitality) and it gets lonely not being able to do things with them because I’m at the restaurant while they’re at a bar.

It’s scary how much I look forward to eating sourdough bread. It’s the best “treat” in my eyes.

I’m American, but I’d rather other countries win gold medals. I just feel like they deserve their time to shine.

I’m 32 and scared that won’t find love and, in the future, be a mom. On the other hand I’m happy with my freedom and can travel whenever I want, but still… the love aspect is driving me crazy.

I have extremely thin hair & have worn clip in extensions for 5 years for thickness - it’s exhausting to keep up with them but I feel so insecure without them.

My freshmen year at Baylor, 98’, during move in weekend at the dorms, meeting new people and such. Guy on my floor was from my hometown but a different high school. We decided to grab lunch and run errands around Waco. In the car ride he introduced me to Rancid - Ruby SoHo. I made him play that song on repeat 5 times in a row before we reached our destination. Needless to say, we never hung out again outside of a group setting again and every time I hear that song, I cringe and think about that interaction.

Feeling angry that I made tzatziki from scratch using great ingredients even though I’m going to a party where everyone else is just gonna stop at the grocery and mail it in. At least they have a pool. That I’ll probably pee in.

My wife went on a girls trip this weekend and it made me realize the lack of male friendship after 35 is real and it’s hitting hard.

Was just pulled into singing at a friend’s wedding. I don’t want to but idk how to say no.

I inadvertently have not drank in about a month and I’ve never felt better.

I work directly with an absolute nightmare who has been out of office the last 4 months. It has been blissful without her but she returns tomorrow and I am beside myself.

I’ve had four different groups of family in town over the last five weeks and I’m so over it. I am tired of eating out, drinking, and entertaining people.

I recently learned I’m the only one of my friends NOT on ozempic…thinking maybe I should be?

I proudly call myself a Coke person, but I’m secretly a Pepsi gal…

Took a first hinge date home at 2am last night, tried to take the dog out to pee real quick, accidentally locked us all out. Bldg couldn’t let unlock my door til 730am.

I’m breaking up with my boyfriend tomorrow. I’m 29 and terrified to be alone forever, but I just know I’d be settling by staying with him.

I think what I need in my life right now is to have one weekend to blackout so it works as a reset button on my life.

Ramen noodles are an acceptable dinner at 41 years old.

I want to reset my relationship with TV/media and spend more time in quiet/with our vinyls on, but we got Peacock for the Olympics so I’ve been binge watching The Traitors when it’s nighttime in Paris instead. (Good show.)

I drank for 13 hours on Saturday and spent my entire Sunday from my couch. Only time I got up was to get the $50 worth of Taco Bell Uber Eats left at my door.

Family, friends, co-workers, our kids daycare all enthusiastically asking to see photos of my and my husband’s trip to a European music festival. Hoping no one notices he’s only there for half after being kicked out for possession.

My friends have basically turned our friend group into a baby raising competition since having kids. Constant one-ups and comparisons, makes me scared to have my own children. Why can’t we just enjoy this next phase of life together?

My best friend broke up with her boyfriend. She’s sad, I’m glad.

I’ve had a pepperoni hot pocket for lunch every day for a week! Yum!

On vacay but i think i’m addicted to my phone. Like i will answer emails or texts right away.

My family and friends have been hypercritical of my new relationship, which in some ways I understand because it is a little complicated right now. It just sucks that I don’t have many people in my life that I can just be excited about this with.

I only finish my sonicare two minute brushing timer if my husband is in the room.

Didn’t take the early flight, delayed with a new arrival of 1:10am. Didn’t take Monday off.

Working from home is phenomenal for my sex life. That private meeting on my calendar? It’s a booty call between a zoom calls.

i haven’t had sex in two years

Hooked up with a friend of a friend after partying too hard in the Hamptons. I have bruises on my knees and scrapes up my back from having sex on the rocks at the beach. Got to work and remembered I have a huge presentation this morning. Also to cap everything off, he’s an RFK supporter.
