The most terrifying part of having memory issues is when you can feel something from 5 seconds ago be thrown out the window and there's an empty hole where it once was. You remember that you forgot something.

The pit-of-your-stomach dread you feel when you finally remember what your forgot only to realize you've run out of time to do it... It would have been better if you had missed it entirely, but no, you remembered just in time to be paralyzed with fear over not being ready, like being woken up 30 minutes before a test you didn't study for.

say what you will about rooster teeth and its business practices, but it is genuinely heinous that warner bros can just wipe something of such significance to youtube, the entertainment industry, and the internet as a whole completely off the map because they didnt "make enough of a profit"

Ladies be aware and careful. Guys call out assholes who even think about doing that to someone.

And not just ladies. Last time I circulated one of these sorts of post, a gay male friend mentioned a similar thing happening both to him and somebody he knew.

When Everything Everywhere All at Once said “The only thing I do know is that we have to be kind. Please, be kind, especially when we don’t know what’s going on" 

When the Good Place said “Why choose to be good every day when there is no guaranteed reward now or in the afterlife… I argue that we choose to be good because of our bonds with other people and our innate desire to treat them with dignity. Simply put, we are not in this alone.” 

When Jean-Paul Sartre said ”‘Hell is other people’ is only one side of the coin. The other side, which no one seems to mention, is also ‘Heaven is each other’. Hell is separateness, uncommunicability, self-centeredness, lust for power, for riches, for fame. Heaven on the other hand is very simple, and very hard: caring about your fellow beings.“

I don’t have time to draw it right now but while driving home from the winco I saw a happy mustached man pedaling a bike, towing a cart built to look like a chariot, inside of which stood what I can only imagine was his completely expressionless 13 year old in a makeshift corinthian helmet

That post about 30 year old coming of age stories?

I’ve been thinking about it all morning. What would the plot points be for that? What makes a 30 year old coming of age story?

Old folks sound off in the comments

A few ideas:

  • Burying a parent that never encouraged independence
  • Acknowledging a trauma you've spent your life ignoring
  • Finally opening yourself up to a truly mutual, non-transactional relationship (platonic or romantic)
  • Leaving a community (religious or otherwise) that has kept you from growing

Obtaining a diagnosis for a health condition (mental or physical) and finally getting treatment and recontextualizing your life.

Student loan forgiveness kicking in, suddenly you can afford to live. That one small change snowballs into something big.

Starting over after the end of The Big Relationship you thought would define your life. Engaging in a new hobby/social group that adds context to how small life felt in that relationship.

You find yourself with a pet you have to care for, which teaches you to care for yourself.

You take a class somewhere that unlocks skills you didn't know you had.

In limbo between leaving the job that used your degree and finding the job you know you actually want—either your "calling" or something that pays well, is low-stress, and you will be treated well.

You've settled the wild and restless needs of your youth, as well as the mistakes you made or opportunities you missed, and you realize the first 30yrs were training wheels. Your real life is just starting.

  • getting sober and realizing that just because habitual drug use wasn't life-ruining, bankrupt-level addiction, it still controlled your life
  • realizing when you were the bad person; trying to make amends & dealing with the ramification that people aren't obligated to accept an apology for the way you hurt them
  • getting a diagnosis for a long-suspected neurodivergent brain & living with the duality that comes with a) recontextualizing each time you got grounded, punished or each failure at school or with social situations, and b) figuring out that even with medication, you aren't "fixed", learning that neurodivergence is something you have to counterbalance & work with. the hard, ugly road to self love vs figuring out that self love is a journey not a destination

yes I am talking about myself what of it

  • not going to the memorial of the only parent you cared about because you've realized she was right about not worrying so much what people think OF you, so you go for a practice drive instead in the rain like she was always trying to get you to do and give an awkward ride home to a stranger on the road, and a year later you've started to understand how she managed to do so much for the people around her
  • you are now the proud owner of a single filing cabinet drawer and it is stressing you out but also working
