The Beginning

In early August of 2021, a magic device called a pregnancy test revealed that I was going to be a mom. By the end of October, I had also become a wife. It was my dream to be a mom and a wife someday… I just didn’t think it would be so soon, and at the worst possible time. I’d turned twenty just a week before the positive pregnancy test. I was still living at my mom’s. Three days later I was fired from my job. I wasn’t in college or learning a trade. My boyfriend-now-husband and I were arguing every day. He’d already decided to join the US Navy a few weeks prior. Every night I had the same vision: a single, underaged, uneducated, unemployed woman girl living with her mother and struggling to make ends meet for the rest of her life.

You could say I was a bit of a pessimist back then.

I didn’t tell my mother for two weeks. I was terrified and ashamed. My boyfriend and I argued about what to do as most young adults do when their lives have been changed drastically overnight. After a cooling-down period much needed by both of us, we made a game plan. Appointments were made and family members were told. He would continue with his plan to join the Navy, however heartbroken it made me. We would get married, and our baby would be provided for.

About two weeks before our wedding at the courthouse, I suffered a subchorionic hemorrhage. I was twelve weeks pregnant, and there was blood pouring down my legs. I drove myself to the ER, a Hello Kitty towel folded under me, and I was shoved into a wheelchair and rushed through various testing. I heard the words “bleeding” and “miscarriage”. I was completely alone. My mother was hours away on a business trip. My fiancé was stuck at a plasma center forty minutes away with no car. My sister and her girlfriend offered to come stay with me, but I didn’t want them to see me that way; visibly trembling, sobbing, blood dripping from the wheelchair to the linoleum floor. An older woman–a stranger–sat down next to me and rubbed my back and told me I would be okay, that she was going to sit right there with me so I wasn’t alone. I think about her often.

My fiancé finally made it to me two hours later, and after four more hours of waiting and bleeding and waiting some more, a doctor came in and told us our baby was healthy and safe. We cried, I was put on pelvic rest for a month, and we went home. 

I got married two days before Halloween in a long black dress my mother and I bought at Forever 21. I held a bouquet I’d made myself out of fake flowers and ribbons from Micheal’s, and we had our rings–bought at an antique mall in Arlington, Texas–in two little cardboard boxes that I’d drawn a heart on the tops of. We had seven guests at the ceremony including the judge, and afterward our first meal together as husband and wife was fried chicken from Winco. Later that night we had a wedding party at Dave and Buster’s. We ate cake, drank sugary drinks (nonalcoholic for my fourteen-week pregnant self, of course), and played arcade games all night. My favorite part was sitting with my husband at a coin pusher as we talked for hours.

On December 6th, my new husband left for boot camp. The next day my car broke down on the highway, and when my mother and her boyfriend showed up to rescue me I cried and cried and ate the bag of Doritos and Oreos they bought me. I’d like to blame the pregnancy hormones, but really I was just missing the man who annoyed me the most in the world. 

Okay, maybe it was a little bit of the pregnancy hormones, too.

The holidays were a blur. I was promised a phone call on Christmas Day from my husband that I didn’t get until New Year’s Eve. I cried, he cried, I told him about Betty White and whatever other gossips he needed to be updated on, and an hour and a half later we hung up and I cried for a little while longer.

In early February my mom, my father-in-law, and I flew up to Illinois to watch my husband graduate basics. I was twenty-seven going on twenty-eight weeks pregnant, and I had never been happier. The ceremony was nearly three hours long and my butt was numb by the end of it but that moment of seeing him for the first time in two months was worth it. We met up at the hotel we were staying at later, went to dinner in my father-in-law’s rented orange Mustang, and I changed my flight just to stay two days longer. 

At thirty-two weeks, I went into preterm labor. There were strong drugs involved, a lot of flirting with the nurses by yours truly, and plenty of drug-induced Eminem rapping that could have earned me my own diss track by Slim Shady himself. Seventy-two hours later, my husband caught a flight home just in time for the birth of our baby boy. 

The Bug was born two months before his due date. He stayed in the NICU for eighteen days with lots of visits from Mommy and Daddy. He was a favorite among the NICU nurses; he had his mother’s sassy attitude and his father’s love of dramatics and he wasn’t afraid to show it. He came home dressed in a preemie-sized Winnie-the-Pooh outfit that was still too big on him. Everyone who met him over the next few weeks wore a mask, and everyone fell in love with him. 

A lot has happened since then. 

I turned twenty-one in July of 2022. My husband graduates from submarine school in a few months. We moved to base housing one thousand seven hundred miles away from home and the furthest I’ve ever been from my family. I’m on medication for postpartum depression that makes me feel like the old me. The Bug is crawling and saying made-up words that I have to pretend are real words. I have a plant named Dorothy and I crochet when I’m not writing, drawing, or catching The Bug’s head before it smacks on the hardwood floor. I’ve even thought about taking college classes this next year. 

Join me on this journey of young motherhood, young wifehood, and overall young adulthood. I’m still learning and growing, and hopefully, I can bring some peace, laughter, and connection to others in similar situations while I learn and grow (and teach and nurture my own spawn).

[everyday-younglife]

(raises hand) miss everyday-youngwife, been following you for a long time now i just gotta ask, what do you like so much about the yosuke guy from persona?? <- (asked by somebody who has never gotten into persona, just genuinely curious!) feel free to answer this however you want

everyday-youngwife... cute

and um. i like him because he's cute and cringe and real.

like. the entire game of Persona 4 is finding their true selves through the use of supernatural means aka physically going into a tv set into another world that is the... locationifcation? of the collective unconsciousness of mankind. in this case i think it's just the people in their small town iirc. they have to fight their Other Self in order to accept themselves. is the gist.

ok so like. contrary to what a lot of people think about how this works. is that they go into a *TV* which makes the Other Self *not just their own hidden truths* but instead a COMBINATION of that AND how people in the town see that person. it's weird

but anyway. it didn't work that way for Yosuke. he had only been in the other world for a bit so his Other Self didn't have time to fester. his Other Self, literally called a Shadow (from Jungian psychology, hence 'persona'), was just about why he was in there in the first place (spoilers so i won't mention it)

Yosuke is a 16/17 year old Japanese boy living in 2011/2012 (but the game was released in 08/09... yeah) he is, unfortunately, accurately bigoted for a fuckboy in 08/09 lmao.

but yknow what? he realizes that it's all for show. ON HIS OWN. he doesn't really believe that shit he's spouting, he only ever kept spouting it so he'd be liked. "by whom?" other fuckboys. but he has GOOD and REAL friends now that stand by him and love/like him for real. can call him out on his shit, can accept him for REAL.

he's shown to be caring, kind, smart, selfless, dorky, and still cringy. But it's an endearing cringe. I'll add some spoiler-free screenshots just to help me explain lol

but don't get it twisted!!! he's a fucker, too. he likes to tease his friends and push their buttons. makes me want to bite him you know??

last but not least:

(and here is a nearly TEN YEAR OLD!! post i wrote on my old blog about he. if u wanna read that BUT it does have end-game spoilers)

thank u for coming to my ted(die) talk. everyone reading this blease blay Bersona 4 on steam compuergame

The character of Miranda never liked being gaslighted. When her husband spun tales, she sought to block them out. There's strength in working through the fog.

[mamasmorethananafwife]

Hey there,

I don’t know what brought you to my tumblr page... But if I had to guess, life has gotten pretty hard and you’ve probably turned to the internet for stories that make you feel like you’re not alone. Well here’s the thing -  You’re not alone. Actually there are many people who feel like their life is falling apart. Whether that be in secret or on display for the world to see, we’ve all been there. Some people are just ballsier than others and can admit it. 

Starting today, I’ll be joining the group of ballsy women who actually tell their truths. Not because the truth will set me free or because I have some spiritual reason to do so. Instead, I chose to start writing because I remember being so lost and looking on the internet as a last resort to just make what I was going through feel normal... and not finding anything.

I’ve experienced enough to know that though there are no stories like mine on the internet, there sure as shit are more than enough young women who have been through it just like me. 

I have no intentions of trying to be a counselor. Or someone who lays a foundation / guide for others. I just want to share my experiences in hopes that someone can take bits and pieces from my stories and gain a sense of strength from knowing “It does happen” or “I’m not alone”. 

So here we go..

At a party, a young wife admonished her husband, “That’s the fourth time you’ve gone back for ice cream and cake. Doesn’t it embarrass you?”

“Why should it?” answered her spouse. “I keep telling them it’s for you.”

Omg youngwife Shen jiu is living a good life!!

Im really curious what happened next I. Young wife SJ in his wedding day?

Because Im just imagining a prosesion of SJW's army shadows carrying boxes and boxes of dowry for SJ. (The sect only get partial course, SJ got 80%--) Just everyone losing their shit because the powerful and elusive SJW is there, apparently marrying their Martial BROTHER!??

The reaction of the other succeeding disciple would be great! 🤣

TO be more accurate, dowry is the stuff the bride brings into the groom's family. Bride price is what the groom pays to the bride's family, or, in this case, Shen Jiu.

There's no need for Shen Jiu to be giving this bride price to the sect, but he does give a few exquisite pieces to the Qing Jing peak lord as a gift. Most of the "bride price" really ends up just paying for the expensive and luxurious wedding.

But yes, the shadow summons are in a very large parade bringing the dowries to the sect and then back to Sung Jinwoo's manor (lmao). (Sung Jinwoo is the one providing most of the dowry. Cang Qiong sect throws in a few things to show their goodwill towards Shen Jiu otherwise they would look stingy and uncaring for their student.)

Anyways, back to Shen Jiu. Shen Jiu's reputation isn't as bad as in canon without the whole cheater/backstabber accusation, but it's still not good either - favoritism, bribery, spoiled reputation ain't a glowing review. So, he's still just as disliked by his peers, particularly as Shen Jiu isn't willing to get to close to even the male disciples, acting as though everyone around him is trash.

(Nah, Shen Jiu just doesn't want Sung Jinwoo to misunderstand a friendship as a budding love affair and try to back out of this marriage.)

With Shen Jiu primarily associating with females - they are far harder to chase away and once they learn that Shen Jiu is just a paper tiger, they flock to surround and coo at Shen Jiu's face - he's still seen as rather... questionable in conduct. Needless to say, Qi Qingqi isn't reaching out a hand in friendship.

Sung Jinwoo is one dramatic motherfucker when he wants. So a shadow summon bows in front of Shen Jiu, lifts an arm to create a portal and bam, out walks out Sung Jinwoo.

(Insert shocked gasps from the audience at seeing how good looking Sung Jinwoo is. This guy is nothing like what the rumor said he was going to look like - where are the wrinkles, pimples, yellow teeth, and ancient grandpa face?)

Anyways, given Yue Qingyuan's feelings about and for Shen Jiu, the Sect Leader makes sure to keep YQY in the dark until the very last minute, so it's just Yue Qingyuan staring in shock at seeing Shen Jiu in red being led into a sedan and departing to married life.

Shang Qinghua knew all about this marriage - who the fuck do you think had to arrange most of the Cang Qiong wedding decor? - but he didn't care about the gossip or the people involved, being too busy setting up the freaking thing to think much else in between naps. If anything, Shang Qinghua is ready to Sleep for A Week because Shen Jiu's wedding is over and done with. Hallelujah.

New to this

Let me start by introducing myself.. my name is Lexi and I got married to my wonderful husband on June 26th of 2016. As you can tell by the date we have been married for a little over a year now. Everyday I face new challenges as I try to live my life as a young Christian let alone a Christian wife. Both my husband and I have a deep love for God and that's somthing that has brought us together but unfortunately that still doesn't take martial and everyday problems out of the equation in our life. I started this tumblr to hopefully reach out to women in the same position that I am in and let them know there is a support group out there to make this journey a little easier. I plan on posting struggles and victories on my blog as our adventure continues. Please join me as we dive into the subject of being a young Christian wife in a fallen world.

May you please recommend some tumblrs like yours? With traditional and feminine content. I'm craving more of this influence ♥️

Hi!! I’ve received many variations of this ask the past months and I tried answering it many times before but I always felt like the owners of these wonderful blogs wouldn't appreciate being all bundled up together in a list. After debating with some friends I decided to indeed compile the list if any other person asked for it. So here we are!

I tried my best to find most of the blogs I actively reblog from and that allow me to have the aesthetic that I now have. If you follow them hopefully your dashboard will look more akin to what you are looking for.

First, the category “Traditionalist Blogs“. These are the blogs who advertise in an explicit way that they are indeed traditional. I’ve followed these blogs for a while now and really appreciate seeing them in my dashboard. There are plenty more traditionalist blogs but these are the ones that seem to always find their way into my tumblr. The traditionalist blogs are:

@youngtraditionalist / @lovely-anna-maria / @tradcutie / @tradfems / @wifey-aesthetic / @adathefemale  / @ren-in--wonderland  / @savordance-lifesupport   / @flowers-and-family   / @traditionalhusband   / @thelittlesthomemaker   / @lafemmetraditionelle   / @youngwife-happylife   / @traditionallifetraditionalwife   / @embracing-femininity   / @traditional-femininity   / @thagale   / @saltotheearth

Secondly, the category “Aesthetic Blogs”. Pretty self-explanatory: these are blogs that mostly maintain an aesthetic based on nature, animals, cooking, family, femininity, architecture or otherwise pleasant aesthetic. These blogs are not nsfw or kink blogs, but could have, on occasion, nudity. All in all, they are very beautiful blogs that make your dashboard a charming place to browse. These aesthetic blogs are:

@winebooksandlovers   / @cladisal   / @fleuringly   / @hudson-republic   / @honeybeesoul   / @upthespiralstaircase   / @oldfarmhouse   / @celibacy   / @warmwaterlily   / @rebsgrl   / @seasonaestheticss   / @softautumn   / @petalier   / @sweetoothgirl   / @fleaingfrance   / @sabonhomeblog   / @raccoonfarms   / @honey-tea   / @endless-love-story   / @juliyakreng   / @theburningtime   / @thesovereignword   / @littlest-folks   / @adorably-baby   / @farmhouseonthehill   / @dauntliss   / @magic-mori   / @vintage-bee

Thank you so much for your question, I truly hope this helps you and that you discover many new wonderful blogs. Have an amazing day 💕

[thisfairmaidenandhergallant-blog]

I Appreciate You

I’m new on tumblr. My blog is only 7 months old. I don’t know what’s going to happen to tumblr after December 17th, but I just wanted to say thank you. The 32 people following me, thank you so much! I hope you have enjoyed my blog. To the 218 blogs that I follow, thank you so much! I have learned a lot on tumblr. I don’t want to expose my followers to protect their privacy. I’m not certain what the protocol is for that, so I’ll just err on the side of caution. hope that’s okay. I hope it’s okay to to shout out to all the blogs I follow.
