Shorter: hack your life around the person you actually are, not the one you think you should be.

why does nobody know how to bring something up that bothers them In The Moment When It Bothers Them. why am i getting a text abt something i said 2 days ago that you laughed at and then the conversation moved on. if it bothers you FUCKING TELL ME SO I CAN NOT BOTHER YOU

I asked why he lied and he said “sometimes you have to hide how smart you are to get what you want faster” 💀💀

A lot of people also don’t like to admit that leaving children home with their fathers for extended or hell, any period of time means running the risk of the child being hurt or 💀

You guys realize that one of the greatest joys of motherhood is never again having to do any of the tedious and unfulfilling social rituals you were forced to do so you could increase your odds of finding a man who wanted to have kids with you

Reminds me of that clip of the guy asking people if they could be another race, what would they choose. All the Black ppl said “no thanks”. All the other non-white poc’s said white.

Your aunts and uncles were giving your grandma money for thanksgiving btw. They just didn’t broadcast it because that’s common sense. Niggas grown as hell acting like children just wanting to show up and eat.

Gov. Brian Kemp is well known to have a copious reading habit. One day he read that Audi was looking to build a U.S. manufacturing plant and the wheels started turning. @FitzTrubey has the amazing ticktock on the many years and dozens, maybe hundreds, of people it took to bring Audi to Georgia. ajc.com/business/2026/10/how…

One summer I brought up my parents moving in with us and it turned into a heated argument. I was trying to get my mom to make a plan for potential illness or injury. I asked, “what’s the plan if you fall and break your hip?” She said that wasn’t going to happen, asked why I was picking a fight and was in no way going to consider leaving the home and community they had lived in for 40+ years. I kid you not 2 months later I got a phone call. My mom had fallen and broke her hip. My dad needed full time care due to his cancer recovery. Same day I hoped on a plane and flew across the country to deal with it. This was the 4th time I had to drop everything and fly out for an emergency in 2 years. When my mom was discharged I sat down with my parents and said, “Your decisions are making me choose between you and my children. You have lived wonderful full lives, they have not. They need their mom with them. The next time I hop on a plane in an emergency to take care of you two, it’s to bring you back with me. If you want to stay here, then you’re going into a full time care facility. Expecting that your children to take care of you at the expense of your grandchildren because you don’t want to leave San Diego at the age of 80 isn’t right.” They hadn’t thought of it that way. They were apologetic, and much more open to discussing the home they’d move into if they didn’t move in with me. I’m sharing because recently I’ve seen many posts from others in similar situations, and thought maybe this line of conversation may help. They don’t mind making their own kids lives harder but hurting their grandkids? That they care about.
