I've also been writing (or at least trying to) about my rottmnt au that's about ghosts and parallel versions of the brothers. The introduction is done, i think. Im now trying to write the ghost parts of the story. I tried working on it but i keep on feeling like there's something lurking beside me 😭😭😭😭 working on ghost stories making me even more conscious about my surroundings LMAO. It IS nighttime... so i might have to just work on it when the sun's up 😭

Anywho, have these lil drawings of my girl from said AU. I love her. She's gonna get a gun

Having a thought.

I've heard this story before, but today I am taking note of the fact that David did not show up alone. He did not try to solve this problem alone. Instead, he organized an event with explicit instructions to make it fun.

I think that's key to a good barn raisin'. No one can put up a barn alone, true, but it takes more than two people. More than three. It takes a whole community. If David had shown up alone, it wouldn't've worked. Things would not have gotten finished.

And barn raisin's should be fun! It's a party! We're all gonna hang out and do work and laugh and joke and eat food and have fun! This person is struggling so let's have a good time and lighten the mood!

So yeah. If something in your community needs doing, have a party about it.

This is literally the most heart warming story I have read on Twitter so far. I think this is exactly what friends should do, and I feel everyone deserves people like this.

to anyone whose finished college, idk how y’all do this. it’s day 2 of the new semester and i’m already like pulling my hair out

[foldingfittedsheets]

I went on an adventure today to return a pillow to IKEA with my coworker @astrid696.

We were having a nice day and got stuck in traffic coming home. On the way her phone rang and she was driving so she declined the call with a sigh. “I feel so bad for him,” she said.

“You know that number?”

She did. It turns out her phone number had previously belonged to a woman named Serena. The man calling was her dad. He had Alzheimer’s and didn’t remember his daughter was dead, so he just called the number he knew was hers.

I was stricken to hear this. “Do you talk to him?”

“Yeah. Sometimes he thinks I’m her and we talk. I have a notebook with facts I’ve learned about her so I can connect with him better. Sometimes he knows I’m not her and I say I’m her friend.”

I struggled with the beauty and humanity of this for a moment. “What’s his name?”

“I don’t know; I just call him Dad.”

We sat in silence and I was overwhelmed with feelings. That she was so kind and thoughtful about this random connection. A man who called and spoke to her with love for the daughter he missed.

"One time," she added, "he called me just after I had a difficult day with my mom. I knew Serena and her mom had a rocky relationship so I talked to him about my frustrations with my own mother and he gave the following advice: ‘Everyone fails sometimes, even parents; what's important is to communicate with our loved ones, even when it's difficult.’

“I have never forgotten that advice and it healed a portion of my heart."

i never documented it here but months ago i had a david dream where he was spinning thread. why does he control my destiny. he is just a man with a bad haircut that did something horrible to me. i hate how common the name david is every time i hear it i go into a panic spiral. i wish this didnt affect me so badly after all this time. almost nine years.

"If you are not ready to have your life completely turned upside down, you are not ready for a kid"

and "having a kid has turned my life upside down in ways I did not expect and which are making my life noticeably worse"

and "I love being a parent and wouldn't trade it for anything"

and "there were some things about my old pre-kid life that I miss and wish I could have back"

and "I love hanging out with my kids so much they rule"

and "I am having to sacrifice some of my needs so my kids' needs will be met and that's okay for a while but if they don't get met soon it's going to be Real Bad"

and "watching my kids develop a sense of humor and learn new things and grow as people is the coolest thing on the planet"

are all extremely normal parent thoughts and feelings. They can exist simultaneously or sequentially. None of them mean you are a good parent; none of them mean you are a bad parent.
