You have all of my respect now. 🤣 My brother has some--I should see if he'll donate to the real estate on the back of my laptop.

I kind of like stickers and I've thought about putting them on... but then I'm like, if this is weird later or it starts peeling... I can NEVER get it off. I think I like having it neat and stickerless better XD. (And by the way, great post!)

Oh yep. Had the same thoughts, but once I put the first sticker on, it all went downhill 🤣 My little sister put a yoga cat on my computer and that was a bit out of my comfort zone, so I peeled it off. It was quite difficult. 😅

(Thank you!)

Excellent advice!

Also, just wanted to say that your sketch is AMAZING, and I am keenly invested in mole dwarves now.

Great advice about conversations. Thank you! Love this wisdom that character self-reflection or vulnerable conversations don't mean anything until we have a reason to care about that character. (It's like when you say hi to a stranger at the grocery store and they just unload their life on you . . . you just stand awkwardly and want to exit the conversation.)

Thank you and you're welcome!

(That sounds interesting. I can't say it's ever happened to me. You must have a natural counselor look about you 🤜)

I used to consider adding stickers to things a very big commitment and avoided it. But recently I added stickers to the entire back of my laptop! 😱 (I did make sure the colors all went together)

LOL I'm sure it looks good.

My little siblings have made sure that I'm in good supply of strange stickers so my computer looks more like a graffitied train than a computer. 🤣

It depends on the sticker. If it's meaningful to me and looks nice, I wouldn't mind it. But if it's just on a whim and something I would look at later and get a weird feeling from, no.

Ohh yeah. Same. My siblings are always offering stickers and I have some severe content restrictions 🤣 Nothing too immature for a 19-year-old being number one.
