A manatee rescue that I follow responded to a call about a female manatee with two calves because one of her babies had been injured by a boat strike. The entire family was temporarily relocated from the wild into a wildlife rehab facility for the injured male calf to undergo treatment. While there, vets noted the female calf was significantly larger than the little injured male. They did genetic testing and determined that big sister calf actually wasn’t related to the other two manatees at all! She was in fact an orphan calf that the adult manatee had found and taken in to care for right alongside her own little one.

Wild to think this manatee calf was literally adopted and nobody would have ever known if it weren’t for random coincidence and human curiosity. Every animal that you cross paths with in life has a fascinating personal story that you’ll only ever catch a glimpse of (and that’s if you’re lucky).

The world might feel chaotic, but you don’t have to take all this burden on your own, because there are still good people with caring hearts out there, and you’re one of them, and the small things you do are still accomplishing more than inaction

im not really sure how to navigate the world right now. everything is so normal, yet in the background theres this looming presence of what is to come (on top of what is currently and has been happening). it feels like the world is ending- that we are on the precipice of something devastating. like cosmically. yet i still go to work. i still gossip with the girls. i still go grocery shopping and do the laundry as if it is any other day. and it is, isn't it? but also. it's not. every day there seems to be worse and worse news. and i cant DO anything about it. i know i can only do so much and i should focus on the things i can do, but it is so hard to go about life as if the world isn't crumbling around us.

i thought so, but (un)fortunately, life keeps going and suddenly you're 23 when you didn't think you'd even make it past 18, let alone 20.

i had such dread and panic around my 20th birthday too, but i think age 'milestones' are really hard (at least for me) because you think youre supposed to know who you are or what you want, or have accomplished something, but i dont think youre supposed to know who you are right now and im pretty sure theres no schedule of things that have to be done by a certain age.

life is fucking confusing, i feel lost all of the time, and the state of the world rn is terrible- which is not helping AT ALL. i still have no idea what i am doing, but each day goes by and life keeps on fucking going- with the good the bad and the shitty.

the worst thing about 4.99 purchases is that one is fine. but if you do two of them you spent ten bucks. and ten bucks these days is like fifty bucks. if youre fucking lucky

i need an ibuprofen with cocaine in it. how else will I clean my room

[glomcoast]

this is a controversial take but I think everything's gonna be all right. let's just keep going, I'm sure it'll be worth it

to the person reading this, even though I don't literally know who you are, I am proud of you. I am certain you've done many things that are worth praise, all the times you've positively impacted people, all of the challenges you've overcome, even just surviving day to day while carving your place in the world is deserving of praise. it can be easy to slip into a spiral of negative emotions, but I know there are things in your life that you can be proud of. I think it's good to celebrate those things
