Somewhere in the world, there is a tree that sprouted the same day you were born and has been growing along with you.

Bad peace is better than good war
also i feel like people who became parents right out of highschool are completely unable to understand what priorities a childless adult might have since theyve never been one…… like i will never be grateful for 20 hours of overtime bcs i have no one to provide for and id rather spend the time with my friends and family…. i dont care about dating “up” economically because i want a partner whos hot and fun not a father to provide for kids… theres nothing irresponsible about me going out a lot and spending money on myself because like. no one depends on me. theres no reason for me to live in a neighborhood with good schools. my priority is to have a good time. theyre like “my favorite thing to cook is crockpot chicken pasta because my husband and kids eat it and the prep is quick” cool my favorite thing to cook is moussaka with homemade flatbread because its fun and i can spend as much time on it as i want without a toddler to watch.
a lot of the time they also are weirdly condescending and treat me like im super immature, naïve and irresponsible (even though at my age they were a married mom of three) because in their minds, since they skipped straight from child to parent, those are the only two options and since im not the latter i must be the former. they have no concept of adulthood without parenthood so they think of my maturity level as being what theirs was before kids.. older parents tend to treat me more as a peer because theyre able to understand adulthood and parenthood/marriage as separate concepts.

things the kittens have so far yelled at me about with the righteous indignation of child monarchs:
- i could not find my brother for 1.3 seconds
- my brother bit my ears when i pounced on him
- my brother refused to bite my ears even though I pounced on him
- my brother has carried away the little mouse toy but I wanted to carry away the little mouse toy
- want to lie in lap but no room
- want to lie in lap but am on floor
- want to lie in lap but it is too warm in lap
- too small to jump on table
- too large to get behind washing machine as is my sacred right
- i am being prevented from drinking the coffee, a substance which would do me grievous harm
- you are not letting me lick the inside of your nostrils
- i am too small to headbutt you with enough force to adequately represent my affection

Several of my friends who previously self-identified as bi are realizing they’ve lost interest in men, generally speaking
A friend of mine who’s identified as a lesbian her whole life fell in love with a very sweet and shy man
I lost interest in men a few years ago, fell in love with a non-binary person, and now I give them their T shots
Life and love are unpredictable
And “queer” is a great word that all of us like and self-identify with (along with our other, more specific labels), and I love that no matter what else happens, we’re still, always queer

Work has covid and things have super sucked. Going to work and getting yelled at daily for things out of my control just to come home and quarantine. Last night my girlfriend came over and we had dinner from across the driveway. They even made me a whole covid sucks box. This made me feel so much better and reminds me how much they love me.

This hack will save your teeth: there are no “right” and “wrong” times to brush your teeth.
It gets in your head that you brush after eating when you wake up and when you go to sleep. Yeah that’s all well and good, but those are times that don’t have a lot of motivation and control…So just…brush your teeth at a different time.
You go to the bathroom in the middle of the day and are like “I should brush my teeth” DO IT!!!! Don’t listen to the other half of that sentence that says “shit but it’s not the right time”
I don’t care if you’re about to eat, or get coffee, or whatever.
If you are there and you want to…do it.
Honestly this hack will solve most of problems. Just stop assigning meaningless “right” and “wrong” to tasks and start saying “I can pretty much do whatever I want whenever I want and society and its expectations don’t really matter to me”.
If there’s no barrier in the first place you don’t have to get over it.
