May I hit y'all with a hot take

Sokka also has the same energy but no sleeves

Thank you for your time

Can we normalize doing nothing, please?

I work with kids. These kids are at my program before and after school, and then some of them have sports/dance/music sometimes all of the above before they finally go home, eat dinner, and go to sleep. Then rinse and repeat everyday, and games and more classes on the weekend, etc.

I’m all for extracurriculars, but this turns into the teen who is not only in the school play, but they’re on the newspaper, the football team, and seven different clubs. In college they take double the courseloads, and then once they graduate…what?

They work themselves raw because they arent used to downtime. They’ve been told they can always be doing something, and they don’t know how to relax. This turns into the adult that has anxiety because there’s nothing left to clean, the adult that desperately wants to watch that TV show but can’t force themselves to sit long enough for it.

Then they turn into the moms and dads who spend all their free time ferrying their kids to extracurriculars.

Like, these kids don’t know what downtime is? I told a kid I did nothing last weekend, and he looked at me like I was crazy. He asked what I was doing this weekend and I said “Probably sleeping, mostly,” and he actually gasped. Then he rattled off a bunch of things I could do, to which I had to stop him.

“No, you don’t understand. I plan on sleeping. I’m booked.”

“But you could–”

“Nah. I’m just gonna rest.”

It was as if I had said a bad word or something. I asked what he does when he gets sick, and he says he goes to practice anyway. I asked him what he does if he doesn’t feel like going, and he said he goes anyway. I asked when he takes time to rest, and he said when he sleeps at night.

Bring back lazy Sundays. Bring back Saturday morning cartoons. Bring back the idea of relaxing and soaking in your day before moving into the next thing. Bring back the right to breathe, the right to rest.

Bring back mental health days, and taking a break. Bring back taking a walk or watching a show or setting a timer to remind yourself to stop cleaning and relax.

If you’re running at 100% all the time with no time to recharge, then your battery is going to die spectacularly, and probably at the worst possible time.

Yes, Ted Cruz actually said this on national TV — and then he brought up serial killers (!).

I’m 330% here for the Zodiac Killer taking down Trump

I don’t know what I expected

The Rugrats don’t have time for your gender-essentialist bullshit.

That sounds like a great idea.” He kissed her cheek again before holding her hand and starting to walk. 

She grinned and looked up to him. "Let's go ahead and get ready."

“Maybe you’re right~” He grinned as he took her hands and spun her around to face him before giving her a quick kiss.

She grinned and kissed back before looking into those gorgeous eyes. “’M glad ye’re back~”

“I’m glad, too.” He smiled and kissed her cheek as he wrapped his arms around her waist. “I missed you.”

She grinned up at him. “You’ve been gone a while~ What have you been doing?”

“The usual… Taking care of my country and all that.. I decided to take a break from that though so I could spend time with you~”

“Aw, how sweet. I hope you thought of some date ideas~”

“Of course I did….” He didn’t actually think of anything and will probably end up stalling until he does think of something.

She rolled her eyes and shook her head a bit, smiling. "C'mon, we can just go to a hot spring or something and relax."
