Oh dude, haha.
I've got a mad lifestyle. I've got a work and training schedule that is nuts and leaves me absolutely exhausted by, yknow, 8pm and that tends to kill a social life outside of my sports circle. I've got a family lifestyle that is honestly pretty old fashioned and has intimidated eeeeevery guy I've brought home. We're talking black tie dinners on the regular, charity galas, huge parties, and a family business that is honestly more important to me than whichever guy I've been seeing for two weeks.
A lot of people can't stick it. They get antagonistic and resentful and I don't have time to try and soothe egos.

Latest answers from tea.

Why do people get house plants that they can't even name? I asked someone about their plants because I liked the very few I saw in their pictures and they couldn't even name them. If one doesn't even know what the plant is named, how can they know what the plant needs, how much water etc? Tasteless.

Do you know the exact names of the fives that make up your clothes? No? Ah, okay, interesting. How about the all of the ingredients that go into your favourite meal? Nope? Right, I see. You know the names of all the muscles that you use on the daily though, don’t you? In case you pull one or rupture something and it needs care? You don’t? But you continue to use those muscles and tendons anyway? Okay, fine. Do you know the Latin names for all the plants? Because we don’t use common names at risk of them being confus- you don’t?
But they bring you joy?
Hmmm.
Maybe you should stop gatekeeping the joy and wellness that plants bring. I’m qualified with the Royal Horticultural Society and don’t know all of my plants names. But they make me happy, so if I call one of them “Kevin” then so be it 🥳 You won’t find any sympathy for that point of view on this page, my dude, because we were taught to share from a very young age 🤷‍♀️

Can young people develop arthritis?

I started to get it in my hands at 13 - I’m pretty sure they called it juvenile onset arthritis at that stage? Something like that! It was linked to Raynaud’s Syndrome.
So yes, and there are probably far more exciting ways to come down with it than I managed, haha!

It’s been a really busy day, I’ve ticked off everything that I needed to do, and all that’s left is to watch the sun go down with the people that I love. I always feel so, so lucky on those nights.

I’m not even joking whenever I’m on your page I get a burst of happiness. I automatically smile, the vibes I get are always positive. Like how do you do that. Never met someone who could convey happiness through their answers. Please consider writing a book I would buy it

I’ve held onto this for days because it’s made me smile every time I’ve seen it. Thank you so much 🥹🥹

You’re too pretty. You make me jealous 💚

I bet you say that to ALL of the Shrek impersonators 😉 Thank you so much, that’s so kind of you.

Why are hydrangea plants considered old money?

I didn’t think they were 😂 they’re all over the place in Cardiff, etc. The plant that is an ultimate brag is a large Hamamelis mollis, I stand by this.

How can someone who exercises a lot lose weight, but without losing the energy needed for exercise?

In a measured fashion. I see a lot of people going in really hard and fast in the first three weeks and then not being able to keep it up. If you gradually increase what you do then your body won’t react in such an alarmist fashion to movement.
The other mistake I see is people just cutting calories out totally. As you say, this deficit means that you won’t grow muscle mass and you won’t be able to sustainably make exercise a long term lifestyle change. So instead of cutting, I’d swap unhealthy choices for healthier ones. And again, this can gradually be reduced if need be but I don’t advocate putting your body into too much of a deficit because - especially if it isn’t the norm for your body - it will just put all of the weight on again when you begin to eat normally again. It’ll just think “oh, we’ve survived a tough period of starvation! Better hold onto these food/energy stores just in case the next one comes soon!”
Tl;dr - gradually increase exercise and movement in a way that doesn’t put your body at risk of injury and burnout. Maintain energy levels by keeping calorie intake similar but swapping for healthier options.

Ever had a wardrobe malfunction in your swimsuit?

Ever had the dawning realisation that this is probably not how you should be living your life and to really think about what you need to change (it’s probably your personality tbh) going forwards?
