I don’t mean to be dramatic, but there are an awful lot of men in polos sighing as though the life is being crushed out of them in business class today… are y’all okay?
Is there anything corporate worse than “do you have time for a chat?”
Yes I have time. I will also have anxiety now until you tell me wtf you need
Stop doing this to people you work with, I beg of you
@WaxeWod Oh my god why are you so gorgeous even with kitchen scissor hair?!?
Thank you for continuing forward 💜 I know it’s tough, I know it’s shitty (some/most days literally), and I am so glad you’re here.
This is real and lasting damage being done; some of it can be written off as Presidential — but the truth is, so many people voted for him, we’ll be the babies getting tossed out with the bath water
For a long time, America could be the bigger bully… and over the last few decades, as other countries have strengthened, we’ve shifted in the power dynamic.
Watching Trump take the escalator to our room is fascinating - I really think some Americans think we’re still the
biggest bully on the playground, and wow, are they going to be stunned at the events the next few yrs.
Watching T piss off all the countries, thinking we’re BMOC? Y’all, read the fucking room. We don’t wield the power we once did. Get your head out of your AmExceptionalism ass
@LeslieB2210 Thank you ❤️ I have been putting myself out there more and met some amazing folks, one in particular that I’m hopeful about. I appreciate your kindness, stranger.
This morning was very thinky.
Trying to date and connect with people is a challenge because, as it turns out, most people are actively avoiding connection.
For a connection-seeker, this hurts my heart and I struggle to not take it personally.
What’s meant for me is mine. 💜
@WaxeWod I wish I could say this feeling eases. Sending you love and hugs from a faraway stranger, who is also sad and lonely without their kid around. Resonated so much when I saw in your post about not crying in front of them; I did the same for a long time.
If / when this goes tits up, I think I’ll deactivate all the apps and retreat for a bit. There are some dates and vacations I’d love to take myself on.
