    She is fucking rich, with a parents that supports her and pays for all her surgeries. And she’s a pretty to top it all off.

    And I never dwell on my appearance, nor do I honlarping, so I don’t have a glass ceiling and I can talk about these things.

    Idk if the “glass sealing” expression exist in English, but still

      Glass Ceiling exists, but I think it might mean something different, in English it’s used to mean a barrier that is invisible (or not acknowledged) but still very very real.

      And yes, I definitely hear you, I really dislike the instinct to doom only and always and irrationally and refusing any acknowledgement of any sliver of hope or happiness,

      (In fact I know my thick-headed sense of hope (or at least stubborn refusal to ever accept or assume defeat) seems to upset a fair few folks here 🙃) but I think what I’m saying is that I don’t see what she does as different than what like 60% of the sub does 🤷🏻‍♀️

        Oh…In my language, it kind of means “I don’t make those mistakes, therefore I can criticize,” it comes from the expression “don’t throw stones if your house has a glass sealing.”

        And I also try to be a full-time hopecore fan; sometimes I break down and cry a little, but I never fall into doom.

          And to be clear , you aint one of those 60%, you do things that are scary to you and then reflect upon them, you have failures but also have, and acknowledge and speak about your successes , you have bad days and good ones, you’re one of the 3Dimensional people here

          And I LOVE how one saying can take on such different meanings across different languages, that’s really cool, especially since “Don’t throw stones from glass houses” is also a saying in English, which means the same thing I gather, basically “Shut up with your criticism if you act the same way”.

          Language is cool… 🤓
