Why cant you attain your cliffside villa? Whos stopping you

Millions of dollars in expendable income?

Today is one year that I was diagnosed with cancer and also a little over five months of being in remission 🎉

I love that for you!!!

Hi Ana, i was wondering if you have any tips on how to use tretinoin! I recall you mentioned it a (maybe long) while ago and I’ve just started and my skin feels peely idrk what moisturizer to use if i should stop using aha toner etc i see a bunch of advice everywhere but idk what actually works efficiently (not trying to ruin my face more than it is)

Thank you for your advice, always <3

Every other day to start off! Pea sized amount, but moisturizers like the hydrogel one from neutrogena help a lot!! Also just reach out to ur derm and ask them for some of their recommendations for ur skin types for moisturizer. A

Especially when you start tret, ALWAYS wear sunscreen. Your skin is alot more susceptible to damage from the sun (photosensitivity) bc the tret breaks down skin; the sun will cause wrinkles at this point. So keep the sun away!

Do u think some Dreams are impossible after a certain age?

I think most dreams are out of peoples effort zones, not age ranges. You asking me this shows me there’s something you’re not putting effort towards. It’s not going to happen if you don’t make it happen.

when should one give up on silly little dreams and accept they aint happening miss

define if they’re dreams or goals. one of my goals is a Doctorate level job; I’m taking classes towards it. It will take me a lot longer than it has others. That’s a goal, that I’m not quitting on. One of my dreams is a cliff side villa with a staircase embedded on the cliff side so I can saunter down at midnight in a long gown only silhouetted by the moon’s light as I walk towards a late night swim. That’s a dream and that’s probably not going to happen, but I enjoy thinking about it anyway. So define which is a goal, short or long term, and which is just a silly little dream.

“I grow glum for this girl. I’ve become so accustomed to listening for echoes of her life in the life I know that she feels as real as any other unseen presence—as real as the disembodied voices on the radio, as real as the human chorus on the internet, as real as the roots stretching unseen under weeds, as real as the dog who howls beyond our hedge. She is real to me, as I follow her struggle from Derrynane to her failed marriage and back again; she is as real as I am.”

When you start to respect yourself, you also start to recognize who doesn’t. Friendships watering down, clashing with people you used to get along with, discovering some relationships/dynamics aren’t for you— it’s all part of growing as a person and realizing what is and isn’t what you want or need. It doesn’t mean that there’s something wrong with you or that you’re doing the wrong thing: new habits, new boundaries and a newfound self-respect often require reevaluation.

hey Ana do you think it’s weird to take a professor for the 3rd time? (For different courses ofc) I’m hoping to get a letter of recommendation and didn’t rly get a chance to show my stuff before, but idk if it’ll look weird or make it seem like im being stalkery or sth

No but like go introduce yourself and ask if they have a lab you can work in so they can actually get to know you

honestly miss having good thoughts and being kind and whatever does not matter it literally does not. nobody will love me for my kindness or my good thoughts. no one has ever loved anyone bc of whats in their head which they cant even see. if youre not physically beautiful no one will ever love you. im proof of this lol.

If your “kindness” is the result of trying to trap people into loving you, it’s severely misguided and not genuine. You’re proof that trying to manipulate doesn’t always work, if anything.
