I read somewhere that "When you choose a life partner you're choosing your eating companion for about 20,000 meals, your travel companion for about 70 vacations, your retirement friend, career therapist, & someone whose day you'll hear about 18,000 times" and I really can't stress this enough.
i don’t understand people who say they don’t pirate movies bc they don’t know how like you literally just google “best movie sites reddit [insert current year]” install an add blocker and that’s it. it’s literally easier to pirate movies than it is to watch them legally bc it takes more effort to sign up for streaming services than it does to look for hosting sites
I'd like to encourage yall to skip the add blocker and download Brave. It's a browser that practically nukes ads out of orbit.
the older i get the more it’s clear that being smart doesn’t get you very far if you’re not disciplined. there are tons of people who are brilliant but not disciplined. they have amazing ideas but cannot finish a project. they are creative and innovative but cannot execute a plan. i see how important it is to set deadlines and boundaries for myself an to be disciplined.

You can replace all sensory words (hear, taste, smell etc) with the more mysteriously vague "sense" to add some pizzazz to your life. "I sense a hint of chocolate" "I sense someone in the next room" "I sense your pussy" etc etc like jazz it up a bit
