Eldest daughters be like: at this point I don’t know exactly who am I protecting and from what. I just feel a crushing sense of responsibility

no one tells you how much of life takes practice. not just writing, painting, running, singing, etc, but practicing how to make friends. how to make the right ones. getting practiced at how to be a good friend, a good sibling, a good person. practice identifying when people haven’t earned that. learning to recognize your right to rage and, eventually, how to offer mercy. so much of life is muscle memory, and i’ve begun to realize there are so many more parts of ourselves to flex and stretch and strengthen than those we’re taught in anatomy lessons

i love this suez canal thing because it’s as simple as that. most news requires so much context and explanation and now? the boat is stuck. that’s it baby, that boat sure is stuck. let’s unstick that boat if we can, it needs to not be stuck. fabulous

i love all my friends that live on my phone :o)
