SensitiveI survived
I started watching the show "I survived", and it's made me reach Peak Male all over again.
Each episode consists of three stories told by people who have survived really extreme and violent situations. I've always been curious about experiences people have gone through and survival situations, but I can only watch an episode every so often because it can be incredibly hard as people are recanting essentially stories of trauma for the most part.
For any women recanting their stories, it follows the same pattern almost every time. "I had the misfortune of being in the wrong place at the wrong time with an extremely violent male, I was shot or stabbed a ridiculous amount of times, and then I was raped". Sexual assault by men is 99% of the time a part of their survival stories.
It's just further cemented into my mind that if I'm ever in a situation with a violent man wherein my life is at risk, I can be assured I will be raped.
Amazing!! I'm learning crochet and want to make a squirrel as well ❤️
Crochet is so fun and relaxing! Maybe a little frustrating when just starting out but it's so rewarding to make stuff. I love it. But make sure you take care of your wrists, I'm starting to get some carpal tunnel symptoms.
Make sure to post your finished projects!
I've been crocheting for only a week and a half, but I am absolutely in loooove with it!! All my other hobbies and games are on hold for now because I want to be able to make dolls of my favorite characters 🤣 And yes, it's so rewarding to see your project come to life before your very eyes! It makes me want to learn sewing one day so I can make plushies with minky fabric. Also yeah, I am worried about getting carpal tunnel, not from crochet but from my crappy desk job. What are your symptoms?
It might take a little bit to get to making your favorite characters but it's definitely worth working at it until you can.
I mostly get numbness but lately I've had very minor pain and discomfort in my hands, wrists and fingers. It's probably also from holding my switch and steam deck for too long at a time. So I've gotta take a bit of a break from doing almost all of my favorite things lol
Oh for sure haha. At least all the online tutorials are awesome, I can now make a little chibi doll!
And I hope your symptoms go away. I definitely know how you feel, I love drawing, gaming, and crocheting. All hand and wrist intensive. Are you being sure to take breaks and stretch your wrist, etc?
Yeah I'm getting better with it. Just gotta take a few days off and hopefully it'll feel better.
