There's something special about growing up alongside someone who knows you so well and has seen you through all of life's ups and downs. Childhood best friends are the ones who stick with you through thick and thin, who know your secrets and your dreams, and who always have your back. 

Today, Violetta is joined by her childhood best friend, Kylie Gerber. The duo are all about good laughs and toothy grins as they reminisce childhood experiences, from dating the most toxic guys and crying over horrible breakups to crazy high school drama and throwing a massive party that went out of hand.

Life is like a game of Jenga, you never know which block is going to make the whole thing come crashing down. One minute you're on top of the world, and the next you're wondering how you ended up in a pile of rubble. But that's the beauty of life, isn't it? The unpredictability keeps things interesting and makes every day a new adventure, or in some instances, a misadventure. 

Today, Violetta listens to brand new stories from Reddit. One talks about falling in love with his student ten years younger than him while the other is about a 70 year old grandpa who gets tangled in what’s probably the most unrealistic opportunity when he meets with a 20-year old babysitter one evening. The stories just keep getting wild so stick around and see how intense these stories can be.

Have you ever found yourself trapped in a cycle of self-hate, unable to escape the negative thoughts and feelings that consume you? It's a painful and difficult place to be, but it's not a permanent one. With time, patience, and effort, you can break free from the grip of self-hate and learn to love yourself fully and completely.    

Today on Almost Adulting, Violetta welcomes Lainey Molnar - a digital artist with thousands of followers online who draws women empowerment comics to liberate women from the immense societal pressure and to help all of us heal and grow through (self-)love, kindness, and acceptance. 

Violetta and Lainey share their most vulnerable experiences starting from growing through a long phase of self-hate that became debilitating, self-doubt that made you feel less and ugly and unworthy of love, to the double standards of hookup culture and breaking free from an abusive relationship.

Manifesting the love you deserve starts with knowing your worth and setting clear intentions. Take the time to reflect on what you truly want in a relationship and focus on the positive aspects you want to attract. 

Today, Violetta shares how she manifested the ideal guy she wanted to date through the love letter method. This method of manifesting what you want, although silly-sounding at first, is worth a shot. Who knows, the partner you’ve been looking for might be that guy you met at yesterday’s dinner party.

This month, we jumped into Reddit and picked out the most WTF confessions.  

While the act of cheating can take many different forms, the underlying motivations and consequences of cheating remain consistent across all situations. One of the primary reasons why people cheat is a lack of satisfaction or fulfillment in their current situation.

Violetta is back and ready as she sits down to listen to some of the most unbelievable and somehow outrageous relationship confessions on the internet. From men complaining about their wife’s weight just right after she had given birth to cheating men who seem to have never learned their lessons, these confessions will leave you sighing in disbelief!

Have you ever wondered if height really matters? According to one wise mom, what men lack in height, they make up for in other ways. But is it enough to make a difference?
