If we didn’t have ears Humans wouldn’t know Sound existed Meaning there’s a possibility there’s something going on Around us at all times ,
We just don’t have the body part to detect it .
This happened about five years ago. My mom was admitted to a psychiatric ward for schizophrenia, and we weren’t allowed to visit her. Even so, I went to the hospital every single day just to drop off her favorite snacks.
One afternoon, as I was walking back to my car, I suddenly heard a voice call out. I looked up. It was my mom.
She was peeking through a tiny gap in a third-floor window. It was the first time I had seen her face in weeks. I just froze… and then I started crying right there in the parking lot.
Then she began tossing the snacks I had brought her out the window, one by one.
With every throw, she shouted, “Give this to Peanut! Give this to Beans! Give this to your father!”
Peanut is me. Beans is my younger brother.
Even in the middle of her illness, even while she was battling her own mind, she was still thinking about her children. Still thinking about us.
I was sobbing as I picked the treats up from the ground, looking up at her and yelling back, “Okay! I will! Thank you!”
Later, I found out she spent hours every day staring at the parking lot, just waiting for my car to appear.
She was always waiting for me.
When our first set of kids were little, the younger neighbor boy took a major shine to my second daughter.
One day he knocked on our door and asked for her.
When she arrived, he said, “I brought you something,” and, with a flourish, opened up his right hand and released about ten lightning bugs that immediately took flight in our living room. “Fireflies, for you!”
It was such a Nacho Libre move, and she was mortified, but I was also like you might want to hold on to that guy…
The most disabling symptom of ADHD is the paralysis. It's the deep, internal shame of knowing exactly what to do... and just sitting there, watching yourself not do it.
This girl went on a date with a guy and he threatened to sue her and not pay the check if she didn’t sleep with him so she booked a consultation at the guy’s dad’s law firm to speak to him lmaoooo. I’m waiting on the update.
we have lived long enough to see Woody's polyethylene get peeled back to the white meat. this felt like a direct hit to the chest. this needed a trigger warning, nothing inside me was prepared.
