✨My husband✨
I can’t believe we got married last weekend. We had the whimsical woodsy wedding I dreamed of & our color scheme & rays burgundy suit were all just a perfect match. We had our first dance surrounded by dry ice & we looked like we were on a cloud🥹 I’m so happy

Median family income in the US increased from $10,000 in 1971 to $106,000 today, a 10x increase.

However, the median cost of homes increased from $25,000 to $445,000, a 17x increase.

And the median cost of cars increased from $3,600 to $50,000, a 14x increase.

The median cost of college increased from $2,900 a year to $45,000, a 16x increase.

And the average cost of healthcare per person increased from $350 to $14,600, a 42x increase.

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE.

My apartment was $1300 in 2021. That same apartment is now $2350… shit don’t got nothing to do with budgeting if we being honest.

@herchosenpath I moved from NY to WA at the end of 2024 but I know several people last year that moved to South Carolina. People are moving to cheaper states because of the high cost of living

@fartpog So evil. I must go lift my sleeves now and offer my arms to my cats so they can scratch them up

I love a graphic tee and I think if I had an unlimited shirt budget 75% of my shirts would just be graphic tees. I’d own enough for a month

We can live without AI. what we cannot live without is fresh water, farmers, agriculture, land. stop supporting ai because it is destroying our planet.

After a certain age, you are no longer the product of your environment or how you were raised. It's a personal choice to live the way you do. At some point, blaming your past becomes a distraction from your future. Healing is your responsibility. Growth is your decision.

@zubymadu @KeruboSk My FIL literally would just make himself sandwiches and order pizza for 6 weeks if my MIL couldn’t cook for him

A few months after I lost my job, I finally got hired again.

Different company. Better pay. Bigger title.
I was excited but also terrified. First day nerves hit me harder than I expected. New office. New people. That quiet pressure to prove I deserved to be there.

The night before my first day, I couldn’t sleep.

At 2 AM I was in the living room rehearsing
introductions in my head, already convincing myself they’d regret hiring me.

My husband walked out, half-asleep, and didn’t ask what was wrong.

He already knew.

The next morning, he woke up earlier than me. Made coffee. Ironed my outfit. Packed my lunch even cut the fruit the way I like it.

When I came out dressed, trying to act calm, he looked at me like I was about to walk onto a stage.

“You don’t have to be the best one in the room today,” he said. “Just be the most you. That’s what got you hired.”

On my drive to work, I noticed something in my bag.
A folded sticky note.
“If you start doubting yourself, read this:
You survived worse. You rebuilt. You’re not lucky to be there — they’re lucky to have you.”

I didn’t cry when I lost my job.

I cried in the parking lot before my first day back.
Because this time, I realized something else about marriage:
It’s not just about who holds you when you fall.
It’s about who believes in you when you stand back up. It’s about who waters you while you’re growing not just when you’re broken.
And again… I didn’t have to ask.
He was already awake.

I don’t want data centres. I want better roads, equipped hospitals, safety social nets for the unemployed, old and disabled, and developed public schools.

Ray and I were in Barnes and noble and I saw a book with a cat on the cover so I brought it over to show him only to see that he was looking at a different book with a cat on the cover that caught his attention and that just explains us so well

@thrluv I do this. I’ve kept every card I’ve ever received. I have the hand written notes my husband used to write me in college. I keep brochures and any physical media I can find from vacations. I keep anything that gives me a physical ticket. I’ve got boxes of my life

[Taylor Caridi @TaylorDCaridi]

@Hanike_B @ma1ybe It was an honest mistake on my husbands part. But it’s just something he’s never once had to think about. Once I explained how the pod completely hid her car from view he was like oh yeah that’s something I’d never consider

[Taylor Caridi @TaylorDCaridi]

@Hanike_B @ma1ybe A few months ago my husband & I dropped my sisters car off to her while she was at work. He parked next to a pod in the parking lot & I had to explain why it needed to be moved. If someone was standing there when she came out in the dark she’d never see them until it was too late
