age really does soften you. catch me at 40 believing susan at the PTA meeting would never stab me in the back
I would rather die serving cunt than die serving my country
been thinking a lot about the concept of a good person lately. is a manager who abuses his staff at a nonprofit but helps 100 people a year with their legal cases a better person than a manager in a business who gives their employees secret paid days off and makes effort to have positive relationships with the people who rank below them? idk. always thought the former was better because they're making an objective and impactful difference but now im not sure. also no longer think i care.
haven't been here in some time but my laptop broke and im bored. do people still talk about their lives in tags
Always in a constant state of "hmm maybe I wasn't as normal in that conversation as I thought I was"
nobody in the fucking world is obligated to go to therapy. "not going to therapy" is never a moral failure. the only thing you're obligated to do is to treat other people with respect. the idea that therapy is the only path to being a person who's safe to be around is so fucking warped and rotten i can't believe how deeply ingrained it is in our society that even well-meaning people parrot it without thinking
does anyone know how to make a desicion
never mind i figured it out it's like when tracy chapman said leave tonight or live and die this way
If after 15 years and lots of therapy you ask your mother to acknowledge the way she failed to protect you, and she still responds by turning the volume on the television up, and only then do you begin tugging your roots free of her, are you holding a grudge, or is the grudge holding you, like your mother should have?

“I come from families where men don’t understand how to love me I’ve seen their eyes I’ve lied to myself and everyone else and still can’t seem to get it out of my thick skull It’s not anybody’s job to love me I don’t think it’s a job at all”
