is the world really such a terrible place? yesterday i asked if oat milk was extra and the barista said yes so i said ok just regular milk then and when she gave me my chai latte she whispered “i used oat milk ;)” doesnt that make u want to live another day?

here is my life philosophy: next week there might be someone ahead of you in line at the store who’s short a quarter and you have a quarter and you can give it to them. if you weren’t there, they’d have to put something back. the week after that you could be getting lunch and the waiter might ask if you want some pancakes someone else ordered and never picked up. you could find someone’s lost cat. you could watch someone’s bag while they go to the restroom. there are so many ways you are going to touch other people’s lives and they are going to touch yours and there’s no way to know when it’s going to happen. so you have to keep living!!! i wouldn’t want to die knowing that tomorrow the barista will give me free oat milk just to be nice. 

When I was 11 years old - we went to Sea World for my birthday. This was to avoid the realization I had no friends, and no one to come to a birthday party and probably because someone gave my mother free tickets at work. It was kinda a shitty day despite being at a theme park full of cute animals. There was a new roller coaster there that had just opened so we decided to go on. I was nervous. I’d never been on a roller coaster.

A group of 6 college kids were ahead of us in line and started chatting with me. Full on just having a fun conversation with someone literally going through the beginning of a very awkward middle school period. I was so shocked they wanted to talk to me. I think my mom mentioned it was my birthday. They were very nice about it. When we got on the ride they told us to go ahead of them so we could sit at the front of the car since it held 8 people.

Now the ride (called Journey to Atlantis - I believe it is sadly no longer there) started with a slow ride of beautiful visuals of dolphins and oceans and computerized images of this imaginary Atlantis before going up the hill to the beginning of the coaster, where it paused for about 30 seconds, and then the ride started. The college kids must have known there would be a pause. Maybe they’d ridden it before I’m not sure.

But as we sat there on that peak, 6 people I’ve never known, and will never know again, sang a very very lonely 11 year old happy birthday. Loudly. And with gusto. They were happy and laughing and joyful. And it made me feel less alone in the world.

I am 29 years old this year, and I still remember them. I still remember that kindness. It is so important. It doesn’t go into a vacuum. It exists beside me in my daily life. And I love the idea that I have been that person to someone else too.

It’s stunningly lovely to be human when we’re kind to each other.

[Polish. A red writing on the wall saying "no smoking" changed to "beating meat compulsory" with a black sharpie]

In case anyone wanted a more in-depth explanation, here it is:

"Zakaz" means "ban" "Palenia" is derived from "palić" which means "to burn" and can also be used as "to smoke [e.g. a cigarette]". "Palenie" is the verbal noun (burning/smoking) and "palenia" is the genitive form, so "zakaz palenia" literally means "ban on smoking" "Nakaz" means "command" or "order" "Walić konia" is a slang term for masturbation. It literally means "to beat the horse" which incidentally means every time I hear the English idiom "beating a dead horse" I laugh a little bit. The grammar for "walić" works the same way as "palić" so "walenia konia" is the genitive form of the verbal noun And this brings me to my favorite thing about being bilingual in Polish and English, because when you translate literal(ish, a fully literal translation between two languages can often be impossible)ly from Polish to English it has a specific sound to it that I'm really fond of. In this case, if you translate literal(ish)ly, you get "ban on smoking" being changed to "Command to beat the meat!!!" or "I command you to beat your meat!!!"

“Leonardo DiCaprio is gay-not that there's anything wrong with that-and he pays hot models to be his public-facing girlfriend but only until they're 25

Fan Theory

That way, the women can still move on and find another partner while young and have kids. The models benefit by being given money, a stable life, a friend, protection etc., and they sign an NDA.

Ensuring the contract only runs until they're 25 also helps Leonardo DiCaprio give them impression that he's a virile, powerful man who can pull hot young women, yet it will also repel woman looking for a relationship if they know they'll be discarded at 25.

It also stops older women from going after him because "why bother?" And also the misogyny of "dumping" every woman at 25 is a natural lady repellant-and he wants and needs lady repellant because repeatedly turning women down when single would result in others assuming he is indeed gay, which he wants to hide.

I strongly believe this. No one can change my mind. I believe Leo is gay and I feel sad for him that he has to hide it. I don't know who his real life partner is but my top guess is Tobey Maguire.” /End ID]
