Relatable

Yes. Reading excessively as a child for a lot of us was a form of escapism. But part of the reason so many of us struggle to read now is because we based our entire taste in reading on what helped us escape, but as we get older and our needs changed, a lot of us never adapted our reading tastes. So we keep trying to read YA fiction and it just doesn’t hit the way it used to and we assume it’s because we can’t read like we used to, but the reality is that we need a new genre of liturature to suit our new life experiences and mature taste.

I feel very seen right now.

My new favorite thing is realtors adding “NOT HAUNTED” to for sale signs, completely convincing any sane person that the house is definitely haunted.

me, a middle-aged white man in the midwest with marriage troubles and two kids that need a fresh start in a new town:

honestly i think the most validating thing ive ever heard was “good parents don’t have to try to convince their children they weren’t abused” so yknow. remember that.

me: *shoves my entire face into my cat’s body*

cat: *heaves a heavy sigh as he grimly accepts his fate*

i googled “why do cats run around and meow at night” and one of the results listed this as a cause:

no offense but i’m literally starving for affection but when people give it to me i can’t accept it as valid because i’m worried i’ve manipulated their perception of me by only portraying myself a certain way and feeling like this portrayal of myself is an imposter and makes me disingenuous and not deserving of the affection they give me.

we need more books that are written like YA novels but have characters in their 20s… like I can’t keep reading books about teenagers but I’m also not ready for the weird adult romance section of the book store

A college degree is basically an expensive piece of paper that signifies you know how to follow directions.

This is the most random thing I’ve ever seen and it conveys an indescribable emotion

I got drunk and I just want y’all to know. It is NEVER okay to like someone. Like Romantically

thanks man
