Once you get there…I reckon this is just personal experience… but I will say the negativity is a lot less intense. Change what you can. When you achieve your dreams that becomes so much easier because you have the energy. There is a lot of peace in that.

On off days, and evenings I like to spend time mostly at home. Reading, catching up on tv, video games. I do like the library.

Personally I don’t force myself. When I go to the library I walk out with a stack of books. I don’t always get through all of them, because if the content doesn’t draw me in (characters, writing, whatever) I put it down and try a different one.

I wish I could say this wasn’t my exact experience.
Tack on the lack of any romantic overtures and it’s pretty much how it went though.

Become a paid online troll I guess. I have a background in manipulation. And if they get so far as my field, we are truly in the bad place.

Construction? But I think the hours are long. Maybe some community college apprenticeships programs depending on where you live.

I have a work email, an email with my name for only personal/professional contacts outside work, a sign-up email, and my email from 2005 for some reason that I use for dominos.

That means you found a show worth watching. Nice.

Didn’t know they were banned. Just thought they didn’t do them here because the roads are so full of potholes that never get fixed. TIL.

7-8 unless perimenopause is acting out

A lot of people post poor relationships in these places. I am not sure if all of them are real, but the real ones are certainly looking for help and not able to speak to the people around them for whatever reason. In the end we don’t owe anyone a relationship, even a familial one. “Give them a chance, they just made a mistake don’t throw your whole relationship away over (infidelity, abuse, etc), but they’re family” are pretty common and annoying because they make people stay in situations where they are clearly unhappy and are potentially being harmed. If people want to leave, there is no shame in that. It’s annoying on the internet because there is certainly a large amount of bot posts mixed in with real people who need help. Or people who describe horrible abuse and then defend their abusers…feels like rage bait.

Of course. I tend to utilize it across age groups due to some trauma. This is how I became “work mom” at 38, lol.

Dilated all the way to have baby. My body decided that wasn’t for us, so I got the c-section too! I’ve broken bones and it feels like nothing compared to that.

“Be the adult you needed when you were younger” is my version.

10 or so I use daily. 20 or so others I reference occasionally.

If this happened suddenly, I would gently monitor but not panic and jump to the worst conclusion. I have a good relationship with my kids. They have different ways of expressing feelings like this and I’m familiar with them because I know them as the people they are. I’m protective of them, of course, but I also try to give them some room.

Every single time I sat down from doing a chore someone sought my attention. I did not experience a moment of peace. So that, I reckon.

Yeah I’m a monster

Walkie, phone, pens, band aids, counter, whatever I found on the floor…whichever pocket has room.

I am an expert in my field. Because I devote all my time and brain to being so. I am average to terrible at everything else. So many of us like to think otherwise. I don’t get why. I’m tired at the end of the day and I just wanna be bad at shit lol. Ego?
