  • I’ve started flossing more times than I can count. You’re RIGHT on the cusp of it stopping hurting.

    Some tips: — you don’t need to floss twice a day. — you shouldn’t be using a ton of force, but just do a quick swipe on each surface of the tooth under the gumline. — if you’re still bleeding heavily after 2 weeks consistently (like, mostly red spit after floasing rather than just having a little pink tint to the mostly clear spit), you may have a gum issue that needs a dentist to look into or prescribe a special toothpaste for. — try the “Plackers” brand of toothpick sticks.

    Beat of luck!









  • For me: SO (and if they’re not the same: spouse) is more about becoming a team.

    With a really good friend, unless you have something very special, you’ll probably not tether your lives together and commit to going through the rest of your days together.

    There’s something that happens over time when you have that commitment that really bonds you (so I’ve found). I haven’t felt it with a friend, and the closest I’ve come to it otherwise is with family (though there’s even less commitment between family members, I’ve found).

    It’s hard, but it’s also great.
