and if love ever finds me again, i hope it's with someone who thinks about how their actions affect me,someone who considers my feelings before making choices and values my peace as much as their own because I'm not here to survive love again, I'm here to finally live it
I was at urgent care with an infected cut when a kid walked in holding his arm at a weird angle.
His dad was right behind him looking pale.
Receptionist: What happened?
Dad: He broke his arm.
Kid: I didn't break it.
Dad: Your arm is literally bent wrong.
Kid: It's fine.
Receptionist: How did this happen?
Dad: He jumped off the roof.
Me: (looked up)
Receptionist: Your roof?
Dad: Our roof. Two stories.
Kid: I had an umbrella.
Everyone in the waiting room went quiet.
Receptionist: You had an umbrella.
Kid: Like a parachute.
Dad: He watched Mary Poppins yesterday.
Kid: It works in the movie.
Dad: YOU'RE NOT MARY POPPINS.
The kid seemed genuinely confused about why the umbrella didn't work. Like he'd done the math and couldn't figure out what went wrong.
Receptionist: Okay, let's get you back.
They called him in pretty fast. The dad sat down next to me and put his head in his hands.
Dad: I was mowing the lawn.
Me: You didn't see him climb up?
Dad: I saw him on the roof. I yelled at him to stay put while I got the ladder.
Me: And?
Dad: He said okay.
Me: But?
Dad: Apparently okay meant he'd wait until I was getting the ladder from the garage.
Me: Then he jumped.
Dad: With my wife's good umbrella. Which is also broken now.
Me: That's what you're worried about?
Dad: You haven't met my wife.
A nurse came out twenty minutes later.
Nurse: Dad?
He went back. I heard the kid explaining to someone that penguins can't fly because they don't have umbrellas.
They came out an hour later. Kid had a blue cast and was eating a popsicle.
Kid: They gave me drugs.
Dad: Please don't say it like that.
Kid: I'm high as a kite.
Dad: (to the nurse) Is he supposed to be this honest?
Nurse: It'll wear off.
As they left, the kid stopped and looked at me.
Kid: Don't try the umbrella thing.
Me: Wasn't planning on it.
Kid: Everyone says that.
Dad: Let's go.
Kid: I'm gonna try a bigger umbrella next time.
Dad: There's not gonna be a next time.
Kid: That's what you said about the trampoline.
The dad looked at me.
Dad: We don't have a trampoline anymore.
They left.
The receptionist looked over at me.
Receptionist: Some kids just wake up and choose chaos.
Me: Think he'll actually try again?
Receptionist: Oh absolutely.
I got my cut cleaned and left.
Saw them in the parking lot. The kid was trying to open the car door with his casted arm while explaining something about eagles.
That dad deserves an award.
Have you ever noticed that it’s socially acceptable to tell poor people how to spend their money? But when we ask the rich to stop hoarding wealth, the response is always “it’s their money.”

I genuinely ADORE people that are well mannered. People that choose their words with consideration for the feelings of others. People that carry themselves with humility. People that talk with so much gentleness. It's like elegance spills from their mouth when they speak.
The intimacy of Garrett showing Hannah his deepest insecurities that he has never shown another person and allowing her to take care of him is PEAK romance
His aura is something else around nic he just gets this genuine confidence and not like the fake boss event confidence, like real genuine masculine confidence like here and SAG's that you only get around THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE.
