Dear ladies never forget that: The same world that shames me for being a single mother also shames you for not being a mother and shames another woman for having too many children..lt shames one woman for having a child at the age of 19 because she's too young but also shames another for having at 36 because she's too old..lt shames a woman who marries young as well as the one who marries old..It shames women who don't have beautiful bodies and shames those who go under the knife to get the bodies. This world shames all women, not a single one of us is spared, not a single one. So love and make yourselves happy.
At a retreat for 18-40 y/o cancer survivors using the half bar of service I have to say if you get sick your husband will probably leave you. He will leave you during treatment, he will leave you with small kids, he will leave you after 10+ years, & he will replace you in months
my kids wanna do a lemonade stand, so here’s the plan. in the town facebook group make an anonymous post like “i can’t believe these kids can sell this bullshit lemonade without a permit” and then their college gets paid for

Found a baby fox on my dog walk, crying and walking up to people for help. Had no choice but to take it home and it immediately settled into my dog’s crate. The fox rescuers are on their way now my good gosh look at that face
one time in high school these 2 guys were arguing over who could freestyle better, so everyone met up in the bathroom after lunch to hear them go verse for verse. The guy who went first opened up with “3 L’s to the face, call that Living Like Larry”. It ended immediately
People are like, "Why are you here if it's so bad for your mental health," but, like, I also do many other things that are terrible for my mental health.
I am not a rational machine. I'm a fucking mammal. I am closely related to animals that throw poop at each other.
Dad, on the 9th anniversary of your passing, I'm remembering you for your most excellent fashion choices. These days are always hard and I love remembering you for being so very, very YOU. Love you so much!
Relationship tip: when your partner makes an awful but innocent mistake (leaves their phone in the cab, forgets their passport when heading to the airport for an international flight, drops and shatters a beloved item, gets in a fender bender, etc.), don't get mad at them. It makes no sense (it was accidental) and it accomplishes nothing except supplementing an already bad situation with an unnecessary fight.
Instead, think about it like this: as a couple, you will commit like 20 of these hideous mistakes a year and who knew that one of them was gonna happen today, but it did, so that sucks, but it's also a little bit funny, and let's just make the best of it.
This turns those moments from relationship-damaging to relationship-building. And of course, what goes around comes around—you do dumb things too, and you'd much rather your partner be a laughing teammate than an angry parent in those situations.
I didn't used to do this, I learned it from my wife. I am a frequent committer of hideous mistakes, and it surprised me that she never got mad about it, and then I started being like that too.
