love by itself isn’t enough to carry a relationship. you also need patience when things get frustrating, loyalty when things become difficult, respect when you disagree, communication when something hurts, forgiveness when mistakes happen, and enough selflessness to remember that the relationship contains two people, not one. healthy love requires participation from both sides. you give, they give. you listen, they listen. you make room, they make room. and somewhere in all of that effort, you create the memories that make a relationship meaningful. some of the most important people in our lives become part of our best stories simply because we experienced life alongside them. love matters deeply, but knowing how to care for love matters too.
if my child gets out of bed one. more. time. I’m gonna kiss his forehead and tuck him into his little pillow fort birds nest we made and sing the goodnight song and be patient and kind because he’s not even been around the sun five whole times yet and surely this is the greatest privilege of my insignificant life to hold his hand on the way back to bed
“don’t yuck someone’s yum” how about you never say anything so disgusting to me like that again in your life. not only phonetically grotesque it is also very reddit
At 12:40 last night, the guy upstairs knocked and asked if he could borrow a chair “for something quiet.” Weird wording, but I gave him one. Ten minutes later, I heard applause through the ceiling. Then more applause. This morning he returned the chair covered in glitter and admitted he’d hosted an awards ceremony for his girlfriend’s houseplants. She’d had a terrible week, and apparently each plant won something. Best Growth. Strongest Recovery. Most Improved Fern. My chair had been the stage. I asked who won Plant of the Year. He looked offended and said, “That’s not how a healthy ecosystem works.”

it’s so draining when you know you’re clearly explaining how you feel while articulating yourself in a way that is understanding and a mf STILL find a way to purposely miss the point.
intimacy exists in so many places that have nothing to do with sex. it’s crying in front of each other without trying to hide it. whispering about random things long after everyone else is asleep. talking about what childhood felt like and what used to scare you. visiting places that bring back old memories. knowing when something is wrong before the other person says it. sometimes intimacy is simply letting someone see parts of you that the rest of the world never gets access to.
She never asked for a perfect life or someone who could give her everything in the world. She only wanted kind words when life became difficult, honesty when the truth wasn't easy, warm hugs when she needed comfort, and a peaceful place where she could finally feel at home. More than anything, she wanted a love that was genuine a love that stayed, listened, understood, and made her feel safe enough to be herself.
Yes AI is bad for the environment but we also can’t overstate how lame and uncool it is to pretend you wrote a book you didn’t write. Like toddler level delusion on full display by grown adults.
I don't understand why more people don't find it viscerally awful to live in a world where all text, images, and music are no longer produced by human beings. This is an existential change that causes me sorrow every waking moment.
i’m so serious if generative ai ceased to exist tomorrow, nothing in my life would change except for the fact that i’d be less pissed off and frustrated and that most of the apps i use would start working properly again lmfao
