You’re not depressed. You just need $250,000 in your bank account.

All my love to those whose mothers have died.

All my love to those whose mothers are abusive or neglectful.

All my love to those mothers who’ve lost a child.

All my love to those who want to be a mother but can’t.

In short, all my love to those that find Mother’s Day to be painful.

The Hardest Skill in the World

Listening seems easy—until you actually try it.

Not hearing. Not nodding while mentally drafting your rebuttal. But real listening.

The kind that waits. The kind that slows your breath. The kind that says, “I’m not the center of this moment. You are.” In a world that rewards volume, speed, and certainty, listening is a countercultural act. 

It doesn’t feed your ego. It won’t trend. It doesn’t finish the sentence.

But it does build bridges. It can crack open walls. It will make room for the sacred. 

Because sometimes, the most important voice in the room is the one you’ve been talking over— including God’s.

The loudest voice isn’t always the wisest. The first answer isn’t always the truest. And the best response? Might just be the pause.

So today: Be quick to listen. Slow to speak. Slower still to react.

You might be amazed what you hear when you're not the one doing the talking.

i know we're all sick of self-care being a marketing tactic now, but i don't think a lot of us have any other concept of self-care beyond what companies have tried to sell us, so i thought i'd share my favorite self-care hand out

brought to you by how mad i just got at a Target ad

advice i think we should tell children is that when adults say stuff like ‘now that i’m an adult i get really excited about stuff like coffee tables and bathrooms and rugs etc’ they don’t mean ‘and now i don’t care about blorbo and squimbus from my childhood tv shows anymore’ bc your average adult still loves all the same pop culture stuff they always did; they just have a greater appreciation for the mundane as well. growing up just means you can enjoy life twice as much now. you can get really excited about a new stuffed animal AND about a new kitchen sponge. peace and love

A spoon's only objective in life is to make soup go upwards, and it knows this. That's why when you put one under a running tap it blasts the water way high. The spoon thinks there's suddenly TONS of soup to deal with and it freaks out.

I would love to see a fantasy novel where the lore that the reader / protagonist learns at first is not true

Norse Mythology in pop culture: Machiavellian manipulator Odin buts heads with chaos entity Loki as they manipulate and murder those around them ina bid to destroy and dominate the nine realms with ASoIaF level political plots and a foreboding prophecy of doom hangs over their heads.

-

Actual Norse Mythology:

Freya: *asleep in her bed when the phone rings. She picks up the reciever without saying a word.*

Odin: FREYA! YOU HAVE TO HELP US! LOKI AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY FUNNY TO DISGUISE OURSELVES AS DWARVEN PROSTITUTES AND INFILTRATE THIS GIANT KING'S PALACE BUT NOW LOKI IS PREGNANT I'M ENGAGED TO SEVEN DIFFERENT GIANTS, THERE'S THIS HORSE! CALL THOR SO HE CAN HIT THE PROBLEM REALLY HARD AND-

Freya: *hangs up the receiver, unplugs the phone, and goes back to sleep.*
