Rye Off The Bat

In this interesting episode of Rye off React; Chilli and I dive into something alittle different. It's common for people to get a tattoo in a foreign language, what if the tattoo isn't what the person thinks it is, or worse, if the tattoo means something offensive?

Would you tell your friend the true meaning of their ink?

It was until my therapist pointed this part out that made me more aware of my nervous laughter tendencies; yes, I laugh at inappropriate times.

And it affected me throughout life... I didn't really know or have any explanation (or rather excuse), except to say that I usually use this to cope.

It was until I realize it is a thing... and it isn't easy to share/let people around me understand as they find it hard to accept my socially inappropiate behaviour.

Continuing from the episode from gifts, Chilli and I came across this story whereby the OP's husband didn't allow her to give a gift that to another guy at work. For context it's a gift that they received and they do regift things to others for things that they don't use.

We also learnt what's a Keurig today.

Death. The hardest and trickiest topic to tackle. The inevitable; but something people would avoid.

It's hard to lose your love ones, or to see people you love lose the ones closest to them.

It hasn't been the brightest and the best year with death looming in recent times; and I figured it's time for me to talk about it...

From my first experience with death to date, to how I stopped looking at the faces of the ones who passed because it's too much for me to take.

In this episode of Rye off React, Chilli and I talked about gifts! It may differ in culture, but is it weird to buy something for a neighbour's pet?

I don't want to make my neighbour felt any sort of obligation yet don't want to be weird as well. But wanted to do something for my neighbours cat; so what should I do?

Come find out

Depression is really a strange thing to cope; when your friends ask you to seemingly "undepress" yourself. If only it is as easy as flicking a switch. This Chinese New Year period probably got me shagged out, and here I am... checking in

What if your parents deny you of a certain truth about your family tree and your family origin? Do you continue to find out or... just live with it?

In this casual episode of Rye off React, Chilli and I tried to uncover this with the OP, until...

In this tricky episode, we dived into something that is not much talked about; smell. How do we tell someone if they smell? bad breath, body odour? It was tough to navigate but sometimes it could be something that put us in a very vulnerable state.

So how should/do we go about it?

Come find out!

In this episode of Rye off the Bat, I came back feeling alittle enlightened from my therapy after speaking with my psychologist and psychiatrist.

To be honest, I always thought that medication would do the trick, like I would be okay after some pills; I genuinely felt this way because I felt that other than medication there was nothing else that could help me, not even myself.

But apparently... that's not the case

In my current time, I felt alot of flatness; alot of my emotions felt so fleeting that sometimes I don't feel it and I felt alot of numbness, so... I'd been advised to find meaning in life. So let's see how this goes, shall we?
