Merlot answered question about not get out of bed
Your bed is not the problem. Even if you removed it entirely, you'd probably still find a replacement. TBH I think what you need to do is start by untangling whatever it is that makes you want to spend 23 hrs a day in your bed in the first place. And your reasons why don't need to be traumatic, btw. Wanting to stay in bed because it's comfortable ......

A former student (graduated right before the summer) emailed me yesterday saying that he had passed a 4-tier interview process at JP Morgan, and that the final interview step which took the form of a group project was very similar to the way I had designed the group work for the course that he had taken, which in the end had given him an upper hand......

I see we continue to blame everything under the sun except ourselves, hmm?? his love didn't reach her??? You mean all your cheating and abuse?? How SILLY of her to not realize THAT was love.

Ugh.

When I was much younger I had a time like that too. TBH the only thing that pushed me out of that cycle of nothingness and dread was the fear of it being the rest of my life. The whys and hows didn't matter, all that was real was just that I wasn't functional the way I felt everyone else around me was. So yeah, before I learned how to enjoy life a......
hmm

super cute but a part of me is still annoyed at how the duke ruined the guy's life and livelihood just because he didn't like the novel. Unrealistic? Yeah no shit, it's romantic *fiction*, it's not meant to be realistic.

Anyway, all this to say I really want him to grovel a lil eventually.

Merlot answered question about school is stressful
From a teacher's perspective, almost every semester there is at least one student in the cohort who ends up being the nexus of some drama. By now we just hope that it doesn't get TOO bad. One semester we had a student who ended up stalking one of the teachers. As the semester progressed the student would follow the teacher everywhere more and more......

TBH this could be amazing, and I hope that eventually it will be. It's just that MC's whole character being "responding to everything with violence" gets boring when she just keeps doing it. Lacking empathy and beating everything to pulp EVERY SINGLE TIME is dull.

Merlot answered question about question
In kindergarten years and years ago (in the 90s, lol) I convinced the rest of the kids that not only were Biker Mice real, but that I knew them IRL because they worked for my dad. Like, this means nothing to anyone else here but it's such a fond memory, especially since other kids would beg me to try riding their bikes to check if they were "Biker......
Merlot answered question about bl reader pet peeves
Being offended on behalf of fictional characters to the point of attacking or cussing at others who don't like him broadcasts how much of a loser you are IRL.

...but so far the weirdo prince has been the best candidate for her, matching her freak and all. I bet he'd say yes to any and all her shenanigans - not just the knight thing but also the detective play, etc.

Accept his proposal, girl! Go for it!

hmm

I don't like the prince at all but I don't disagree with him regarding the childhood promise. It was a promise made between kids, and the maid girl should have let it go (or at least expected that even if it meant the world to her, it wouldn't necessarily be mutual). If someone I knew barely for one summer years and years ago showed up expecting marriage, I'd be grossed the f out.

that mom is WAY too committed to kissing her son, like what even is that bedtime scene lmaoooo

Merlot answered question about question
that the ML is justified in how he treats the women in his life - especially if he's already engaged or dating. Like, what, she's not supposed to be upset when her partner starts hitting on some guy? By the time the ML properly breaks up with her to be with the twink he's been abusing (sorry: ROMANCING), it's already been MONTHS of cheating, and I......
Merlot answered question about fear of men
I can't help you much with the safety questions as I am not a woman, and for sure there are others with more relevant advice to give you on that. However money management is something I do know quite a bit about. Start practicing keeping track of your expenses using an excel sheet. You can find templates free online. It doesn't matter if most boxe......
