People need to be given room to change. And our relationships need to honor that space. You don’t stop evolving just because you’re with somebody. We need to come together with the understanding that there’s a temporariness to the moment, that shifts are bound to occur, and one day we might begin to feel differently. There doesn’t have to be so much animosity and pain around change. There doesn’t have to be so much poison and violence around growth. Paths split and re-converge all the time. If they’re important to you, you’ll know how to get home. But you’ve got to loosen up those knots in your gut. You’re allowed to be somebody different after seven years. You are permitted several breakthroughs across the span of your life. We cannot deny each other that potential–ever.
Just to expand on this post about calling 911 and asking for a pizza to secretly ask for help:
The post is based on a Super Bowl commercial, which itself was based on a Reddit post that’s never been verified as true.
There is no actual pizza code with toppings and shit that dispatchers are trained in. If you come across someone who has heard of the commercial, they might understand. If you come across someone who’s never heard of it, they might think it’s a prank call and hang up on you.
A piece of actual advice to help you in this situation is to dial 911, then hang up without speaking, then turn the phone off. 911 will attempt to call you back, and when they’re unable to reach you, they’ll dispatch a unit to your location under the assumption that you need help and your call was interrupted. This will work 100% of the time, whereas the pizza trick will only work if the dispatcher has heard of the commercial/urban legend.
Also, the toppings thing was a complete and total fabrication and whoever wrote that should be ashamed of themselves, tbh.
