i actually think "surface level" friendships are very healthy. not everyone in your life has to be your ride or die. some friends are for the gym. some are for going out. some are just for complaining about work or bureaucracy. when you stop expecting everyone to be your everything, the disappointment disappears. those deep convos and connections are for the 2-3 people closest to you
I think battle of fate on @DisneyPlus is such a cool concept for a game show but the formatting is so unfair…wish they would have thought it through a little more for the contestants
I need my car to have a function somehow that lets other drivers know when I’m in a mad rush to go somewhere because it’s an emergency to get the fuck out of my way, especially that slow ass drivers piss me off
That is a painful reminder of how different those worlds are.
Work moves on because it is built to keep running. It can not stop, so it replaces. But at home, you are not a role… you are a person, a presence, a piece of someone's life that can't be replaced.
Don't give work your life… give it your effort. Save your presence, your time, your real energy for the people who would actually feel your absence.
A coworker died yesterday morning😭.
HR knew by 9 :00 AM, but they kept us working all day. They finally told us around 4 :30 PM, then had the nerve to say, "You can head home early if you need to"—knowing we all finish at 5: 00 PM anyway.
This morning, it’s back to "business as usual." Some of my friends are literally sobbing at their desks, but they’re expected to work and be productive. No time to grieve.
It’s a cold reality. Within a week, the company will have his job posted online. Within a month, someone else will be sitting in his chair.
But his family ,his children will still talk about him every day,they will ask where is daddy , His wife will mourn him for ages ,he was the love of her life .
At work, we are just a "resource" that can be replaced in a week. At home, we are the world. Stop giving your best energy to a desk that will forget you, and giving the "leftovers" to the people who never will.
I saw a TikTok video where a girl talks about if you're creative and you're not actively creating and using that energy, it will instead come out in self-destructive ways; overthinking, anxiety, etc..and it has me gagged
