Waking up new
Question: is changing your name to fit your new self-concept overkill? I know people do it all the time for various reasons… my logic tells me that my waking up and not feeling like my mother’s choice of a name (a human that never wanted me in the first place), a name that I never hear anyone say out loud (I was raised to be neither seen or heard), a name that was my biological father’s first wife’s name (my father was 20+ years older than my 17 year old mother). A name attached to so much trauma and grief. I have worked long and hard to move past these events and this name never belonged to me anyway. When I was small, I would write stories with a pseudonym. I ran it through an anagram server and the first word that came up was “lovable” ♥️

I know you. You dropped all these adorably funny sandwich puns the last time about this pic I dropped in your post. Honest opinion.... No. As long as the name isn't outlandish. Like Fabiola Contessa...... The 15th. Look, you have some bad ties to your current. So, I say bring on the new name 👍

I don't feel that it is overkill. I believe as many other have said, do what makes you happy. But do consider that your name doesn't have to be representative of your past. You could change your representation of it to whatever you like. Forgive those that hurt or wronged you, discover your new and evolving self. You will be beautiful in whatever name you pick, not because of your name but because you are happy and free

If your own name is a trigger word, change it.

Sometimes I am so sociable and lively and talkative that my introverted side feels embarrassed 😂🙃 Then I'm afraid to look at the messages I get back🥲😅
I love this part of me, but sometimes the other side of me thinks: "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE😦?" Oops...🤭

Are you lonely? - maybe. Are you boring? - NO!
When you feel lonely and think you are boring to people. You are not boring. There are no boring people, we are all different, we have different lives, circumstances, experiences... ✨You just don't have the right people around you…

A heavy heart beats, beneath a smiling face, Tears well up, in a secret, hidden place. What kind of pain, can bring such a test? A heart that's hurting, and still finds rest.

The Impact of Acronym Use on Communication and Connections
It appears that some B00 users may be experiencing challenges in #communication and forming connections. I've observed a decline in communication skills by individuals using acronyms like "hmu" (hit me up) or "wyd" (what are you doing). Through my research, I've discovered that this style of... read more
