#best worst list

In keeping with tradition, hereās my top ten list of the best events of 2023 and the worst events of 2023, vaguely ranked in the order that they most impacted my life. I'm using the above photo because most of the year I was at the whim of Magnus's sleeping habits.
Best
Magnus finally stopped requiring us to stay in his room while he sleeps. (April-May)
Mags went to daycare. (March 13)
At my 1,200-person firmās annual meeting in Irving, Texas this year, my company president recognized my little hardworking video team with the highest honor we could have ever hoped for. And unbeknownst to me, my boss arranged for Liz and my mother to be there to see it happen. (October 26)
I committed to a gym. Between developing a regular fitness routine and celebrating a year without alcohol (September 7), I can see positive changes in my body ā I lost weight, but now Iām gaining muscle. (March-December)
After attending daycare for almost two weeks, Mags made it through nap time for the first time, which led to staying full days at school. (March 27)
Gus pushed through some fear and developed a love for swimming, thanks to Lizās commitment to taking him to the pool nearly every day this summer. (Summer)
I joined the board of directors at the UA-Little Rock Alumni Association and the Downtown Little Rock Partnership, two organizations I genuinely care about, and where I feel like I can affect positive change in the community. (January)
We upgraded Liz from a Subaru Outback to a Subaru Ascent, giving our family (and my back) more room to work with. (April 27)
Liz and I watched Chappell Roan put on a fantastic hometown show in Springfield, Missouri. (March 6)
Liz tagged along on a work trip that took us to Greenville, South Carolina, among other places, and we kind of fell in love with the downtown area there. (July 26)
Worst
Gus started playing baseball and I quickly became aware of how little time I have spent playing catch with him or showing him how to swing a bat during the first five years of his life. This is one of my greatest failures as a father to date. (Spring)
The tornado hit Little Rock. Beyond the devastation it caused to the city; I was at work, Gus was at school, and Liz and Magnus were at home ā Iāve never felt so strongly the desire to have my family wrapped up in my arms. (March 31)
I couldnāt keep up with Argenta Reading Series, and put it on an indefinite hiatus. Again. (April 29)
Magnus came down with a double-ear infection and a cold at the same time, meaning he and his parents didnāt sleep for a solid week. And on the day he got better, Gus got what we suspect was the flu, keeping us from sleep again. We're still finding used Kleenex around the house, in our cars. (December 10-24)
At a concert this summer, I saw Conor Oberst unleash an immature and irresponsible political rant thatās made me not want to listen to his music anymore, which makes me terribly sad because heās one of my favorites. (May 15)
I left my Fitbit at a hotel in Frisco, Texas. (June 11) (To raise awareness for my missing Fitbit, my team at work held a surprise mandatory fun walk, which made me so happy, and IT WORKED because when my friend Erin saw the video about the fun walk, she mailed me an extra Fitbit she had.)
The parking deck at the office added bollards to keep me from employing my highly efficient parking deck hack. It took me over a month to develop a new one, but I have and itās better than the first, and Iām convinced they have given up trying to stop me. (August 3)
Each of my children had weird mishaps at different times that kind of sent me into a āwhat do I do!?ā parenting panic. Magnus got a corn kernel jammed up his nose (July 9); Gus somehow managed to get a sequin jammed between two teeth while on a family vacation (January 4). [The corn kernel incident did payoff with some video footage in which I am the hero, so ā given the safe outcome ā this one could have easily landed on the āBestā list.]
Gus started getting carsick this year (although, he is pretty good at making sure his vomit stays in the bag we give him).
Gus got strep throat. (mid-May)

i love when people get more loud and outgoing and happy to talk to strangers after having a drink or two it's fun to watch people come out of their shell however i am like that sober alcohol just makes me unable to mask my autism. which means partying with me is like this
friend: you were right man the people here are so cool i've made so many friend alrea- dude are you okay you are so quiet all of a sudden
me who has not blinked in 5 minutes: yes. can i please list aircraft designations in alphabetical order now
#this is a real example. i listed them all in a kebab ship while drunkenly miming the german sign alphabet along#luckily my friends love and tolerate me even at my worst OR best depending on how you feel about aircraft designations#man with autism who's main work experiences are radio host and diplomat call that professional extroversion

Springtime Caresses
IV. Dadstarion, but he's only just figuring that one out.
Good things were happening to Astarion, at least on occasion. It had taken him years to accept that, to trust that his luck wasnāt about to run out at any given moment; to believe that he was worthy of whatever goodness came his way. And things were good, so very goodāthe Elven woman trancing in his arms was all the proof he needed, was she not? It was thanks to her magic woven into the protective canvas of their tent that he could feel the late morning sun warm his skin. It was her graceful body entangled with his that anchored him to a present worth living, having him excited for the future. It was her heartbeat echoing through his hollow bones that called him back from unwanted dreams, filling the refuge that was their worn tent with the only sound of life that truly mattered to him. It was his favourite melody in all the realms, one he could pick out in the densest of crowds; a tune he knew by his undead heart. And that was why he was still lying awake long past dawn today, holding his breath, listening. Wondering.
What was this faint, fluttering sound rippling through him where Tavās bare chest pressed against his own?
For nearly half a century Tavās heart had been singing for Astarion by now, and he took great pride and care in memorising each of her songs. Every piece in his collection was a personal favourite: the steady hum accompanying peaceful nights spent in each other's arms. The giddy pulsing of excitement whenever they were run out of town for a misdeed they might or might not have committed. The urgent pounding of her heart racing him through the throes of passionā¦But this strange off-tune beat disturbing his rest now, that one was oddāthat one was new.
Astarion couldnāt say when heād first noticed the unfamiliar sound. It might have been there all night, perhaps even longer; it mingled so subtly with his belovedās heartbeat that it was easy enough to missāespecially when heād been distracted by all those divine seductions Tavās body offered him well into the early morning hours. She had tasted so intoxicatingly sweet with his fangs and cock buried deep inside her; the heels of her feet digging into the small of his back, greedily drawing him closerādeeperāas her blood rushed through him, and her legs and cunt had made the framework that was his entire world. It was ridiculously easy for him to lose himself in Tav. She was the one constant in his existence, the dance to which he could anticipate every next move. But now that his hunger for her was sated for the night, and Tavās heartbeat had calmed into the gentle whisper of slumber, this novel symphony was deafening in Astarionās sensitive ears. He wet his lips that still tasted of sweet, darling Tav.
Once, Astarion had been very good at ignoring things. It had been a skill long honed, perfected over centuriesāhow easily had he been able to just close his eyes, turn his back on the ignorant fools sleeping next to him? It had been such a well-rehearsed dance; him knowing what horrors were about to unfold, how irrevocably a life would change. But, night after night, it hadnāt been his life-changing, and so it had been of no consequence to him. Now, though, it was Tav he watched over as she tranced; whom heād embraced for so many nights and yet not nearly enough. It was her soft, warm breath caressing his skin, making it impossible for him to unhear, let alone ignore, that ominous sound entrancing him. The moment Astarion had acknowledged the lingering change, it had settled in the thus far unoccupied space between him and his beloved. Already, Astarion could feel it deep in his bonesāa shift in his worldāand for the first time in many many years, he did not quite know what beat he was to dance to. And so the vampire spawn did what he was wont to do: He watched the even rise and fall of Tavās bosom, filling his empty lungs with air. Slowly, he breathed in and out, tried and failed imitating that melody that was undeniably Tav and yet, somehow, more.
Very slowly it dawned on Astarion, then. How hadnāt it occurred to him before? It would be impossible for him to fall into that familiar, steady rhythm of Tavās heartbeat this morning because where there had been one heart beating against his chest for all these years, there were now undeniably two.
Astarionās useless breath caught in his throat. Theyād known it was possible; it had been the probability of it all theyād doubted. And yet, here they were. The vampire spawn stared at the elf in his arms. There had been signs, Astarion realised as he reached for the small hand resting on his ribcage, grounding himself. Now that his world was shaking, he could see all the pieces fall into place. Didnāt Tav tire untypically fast lately, while her trances kept her from him well into the evening hours? And didnāt she smell different, too; taste even sweeter? Sheād been changing right under his nose, had she not? He couldnāt even recall when heād last indulged in her moonblood as he watched a well of memories flutter behind Tavās eyelids. Her pink lips were slightly parted, brushing the gentlest of kisses against his skin as loose strands of her lustrous hair tickled his chin. She was glowing with life, and Astarion couldnāt help but wonder: did she know? Because, to him, it was suddenly clear as day that something had come alive between themāor rather half-alive, Astarion supposed.
Or half-dead, a mean little voice countered inside his head.Ā
Careful not to rouse his beloved from her trance, Astarion slowly untangled himself from Tavās embrace, feeling at once cold at the absence of her touch. Kneeling next to her, Astarion gently placed Tavās head on the pillow, brushed a stray lock from the face he could recognise blind. Crimson eyes wandered over Tavās slight formālean limbs and restless hands; a travellerās body that rarely saw the sun. A body that could be better fed and more well rested. A body that could be strongerāa vessel that needed to be stronger for the unnatural presence it held. Deep within him, in a place that had lain dormant for many blissful years, Astarion could feel fear and shame settle. Nothing good tended to come of a union made flesh between mortals and monsters. There was a reason dhampirs were this rare; there was a reason mothers to dhampir children were even rarer. The strain of bearing life from death was too greatāand it was entirely Astarionās fault. But what was he to do? Could anything be done about thisā¦predicament, now? All Astarion knew was that he couldnāt bear seeing Tav suffer; wasnāt she paying such a high price for his affliction already?
But Tav didnāt look like she was suffering, not now and not ever. Astarion scoffed at the discontented frown carved between her eyebrows as her hand searched blindly for his, only relaxing when he laced his cold fingers with hers. It was true, Tav was a little pale and her body bore all the signs of a future that had thus far been unwritten. And yet, now that Astarion bent over her, he could see the slight swell of her belly, the firmness of her breasts and recognise them for what they were. Tav was nothing if not resilient, always believingāknowingāthat good things came their way. Had she ever given him reason to doubt her?
Carefully, Astarion rested his cheek below Tavās navel, and there it wasāthe epicentre of their future, fluttering against his ear as if Tav had swallowed a little bird. He listened closely to the two heartbeats and tried to learn the intricacies of this new song. The sharp ends of Astarionās fangs pierced his lower lip as he smiled widely against Tavās belly. For nearly fifty years he and Tav had made love, and now love had eventually made something in return. But it had only just begun, hadnāt it? There was much to consider. They would have to settle down somewhere; being out in the wilderness, going town to townāit wouldnāt do any longer. They needed a safe place where Tav could gather as much strength as possible, a place where their child could thrive. They needed a home. Everything else would fall into place, surelyā¦
There was another change in Tavās heartbeat, signalling that sheād woken. It only took a second for her free hand to ghost over Astarionās arm, his shoulders and the nape of his neck before it found its way into his dishevelled curls.
āWhat are you smiling about?ā Tav asked, a sleepy curiosity laced in her voice that made Astarion look up at her face. He wondered again whether she knew of that second heart beating inside her or not, but Tav was a shit liar, and worse at keeping secretsāunlike Astarion.
He considered her a moment longer before he lifted his head off her middle and laid back beside her. Tav hummed contently as he pulled her against him, resuming their earlier position as if nothing had changed. āJust about how pathetically in love I am with you, and how my love for you only grows each day.āĀ
āOh, just the usual then,ā Tav yawned against his chest, mirroring his smile. āNothing grand.ā
She didnāt know, Astarion was sure of it. And he wouldnāt say anything, not at all. Tav would notice the change in herself soon enough, but for now, it was their secretāAstarion and the little lifeās heād discovered within her. āNothing grand at all, my dear. Nothing grand at all.ā
A good thing was happening to him; he could hear and taste it, feel it grow right there where Tavās bare chest pressed against hisābut who was he to keep that to himself?
āDarling,ā Astarion blurted out. āHow do you like Baldurās Gate aroundā¦letās say early Spring, I suppose?ā

tyland: went from westerlands bureaucrat to master of ships to lord treasurer to getting tortured to hand of a boy king #goals
elaena: first ever pensioner in the history of the iron throne. ran the master of coin office like the navy AND got a boytoy out of it.
aegor: single-handedly created the most successful mercenary company in essos and was probably the architect of the blackfyre rebellions after daemon died (flop).
larys: only person to ever enjoy being a little office guy. loves his job as head torturer so much he doesn't even care they are probably not paying him.

dust with a fucked up savior complex save me dust with a fucked up savior complex SAVE ME!!!! he's literally sooo savior complex coded. he killed his underground to "save" everyone and stop the human from killing them. he thinks that it's better that he does the murdering instead of the human because he has better intentions. he's sad at the beginning (rightfully so) but savior complex dust really gets so much cooler when you add in the fact that dust eventually started to LIKE killing his underground šš like just..... imagine a manic dust who's gone mad going around claiming he's helping everyone with what he's doing when he's really,,,, not. soo cool.,,, (like dude how are you SAVING people if they don't exist after you've killed the person who was killing them. there is nobody to be safe but yourself anymore) (can you tell this was inspired by the one comic of dust killing his papyrus and saying "it was better if i did it" or something)
but also also on the other hand,,,,, revenge fueled dust??? he's gotten SO bitter from the repeated resets and genos that he's genuinely bitter enough to risk it all to stop the human. he doesn't have pure intentions in this one. dust doesn't claim he's saving anybody with what he's doing murdering them all. he KNOWS it's bad and wrong and hypocritical but he does it anyways because he wants to not only stop the human but to make them suffer. he purposely wants them to keep coming back after killing them just so he can kill them over and over and over and have them experience a fragment of the suffering he did with having all of his friends and family killed. but i think a revenge fueled dust (in contrast to savior complex dust) would be a lot cooler if he still felt shitty for killing everyone. it's painful to do but hate is stronger than love and dust's hate for the human is MUCH stronger than his love for the underground atp
#oooffff dust sans.... you are such an amazing CONCEPT!!!!#his au is so vague and barely elaborated on that its just so amazing for coming up with any sort of idea for. I LOVE IT I LOVE IT#these are all just different motivations for dust. salvation vs revenge#because really all dust is is sans kills underground to stop human. there is no other elaboration aside from some small pieces#dust sans is peak representation of the utmv and why it's great because#u can come up with cool ideas like this and still have it be semi canon esque#nothing will ever truely be canon unleas its from ask dusttale themselves but that just allows for cooler creativity :3#i love making dust a little more crazy that i perceive him to be#he's DEFINITELY the most mentally stable one of the mtt but once in a while let him be a freak too#mentally unwell mtt tier list from best to worst goes dust horror killer#horror is fucked up too but he has conscience and empathy and is partially environmentally affected#but killer just has too much going on with him that's fucked up that there is NO DAMN WAYYY he is any better than dust or horror#killer needs to be sent to the insane asylum and given the white room treatment (just like error!)#hey so that first concept of dust with a savior complex is ABSOLUTELY what inspired savior#i saw the idea of dust with savior complex and decided to give that to killer to make dust!killer. lookie at that#ohhhh is this a rant or hc????#i have too many damn interpretations of the mtt for me to call EVERYTHING a hc when its not#tricule rant#dust sans#murder time trio#bad sanses#bad sans gang#nightmare's gang#utmv#sans au#i have 40 fucking drafts and yet i am not posting majority of them. what is wrong with me#and like 10 of them are dust based ššš another 10 are horror based ššš just post the damn drafts triglycercule!!!!!#nooo but the ideas aren't cool and only i would like them.... i say as i post this

do you ever think about how Ohkubo extremely casually dropped the fact that Spirit & Kami were teen parents & then proceeded to never expound upon that fact or bring it up ever again despite it explaining a whole lot about them & Maka
#I think a big part of why I'm so attached to/interested in spirit as a character is because he objectively has A LOT going on in his life.#but because he was created to fill that stock pervy comedic-relief anime side-character archetype we never get to see any of it examined.#or even brought up at all for the most part#like spirit apparently comes from a long line of death weapons who despite having been loyal to lord death for generations are never ever#mentioned & who spirit himself never mentions despite carrying on the family tradition (although he's not unique in that regard tbh)#at 12-13 years old he becomes stein's weapon partner & in his own words it became ā[spirit's] job to control [stein].ā#another kid with a laundry list of mental health & behavioral issues that spirit probably wasn't super prepared to help ācontrolā#(personally I think that this ājobā of spirit's was a duty he took upon himself rather than something lord death necessarily told him to do)#then just ~5 years later he 1) loses/rejects said weapon partner & probably best friend after some really major boundaries were crossed#2) becomes a husband & father at just 18#(& in his own words a broke 18 year old at that. another point towards him not being in contact with any family if they're even alive)#3) becomes technically one of the most important people in the world once he ascends to being a death weapon.#not necessarily in that exact order but certainly in quick succession.#& then we fast forward to canon & spirit's at best a guy who drinks way more than he probably should & at worst a functioning alcoholic#who's only A MONTH into being divorced for his habitual infidelity & is in the really weird position of being the primary caretaker of his#daughter who (rightfully) hates him despite him having zero custodial rights over her.#& imo he seems to have no friends in death city before stein & the other death scythes return despite generally being a people person.#like. spirit is kind of the epitome of should've been at the club lmao#soul eater#spirit albarn#kami albarn#meta (kind of. not really lol)

Mind and Heart both know how to cook and bake. Mind prefers baking because of the rigid instructions, and Heart prefers cooking because he can experiment with the recipes.
Soul should not be allowed anywhere near a kitchen. Heart asked if Soul wanted to cook once and he brought out a Mountain Dew cookbook. Heās never asked again.
Headcanon #319
#chonny jash#submission#cj mind#cj heart#cj soul#chonny's charming chaos compendium#no but like let Soul cook tho. literally let him cook#mountain dew is my everything#like my body will die 20 years younger because of how much mnt dew i drink#genuinely i probably have only drank mnt dew in the last week. weeks or months even. maybe some milk & MAYBE water#the water is a recent addition cos like i need more hydration lol#like we joke soul drinks nothing but the sugar free monster from the qna#but when i say it i mean it exactly the way i drink mnt dew#can also make mnt dew tier list. i love the different flavors#baja blast & whiteout are the best things humanity has ever owned#i am soul but soda#āHaha he's literally meā but in the worst chaotic way possible

the greatest achievement hotd has managed to do is gaslighting the entire fandom into believing aemond is not the worst sibling out of all five of them
#listing vizzy kids from worst to best: aemond > rhaenyra > daeron > aegon > helaena#not personality bc daeron and egg would be switched then but their crimes and the harm they've done to the world#bakma bana#hotd#asoiaf#targtowers

Genuinely I would love to see Charles leave Ferrari and go to Red Bull but at the same time I worry that him going to Red Bull would mean he won't get equal fighting status in the RB. What are your thoughts on this?
i think this is a lot of peopleās hesitation over it tbh. my only remaining hesitation is the fact that charles really wanted it to be with ferrari and if he leaves itāll be losing to that bank to some degree b/c the politics of it all managed to force him to leave his dream teamā¦ like, thatās upsetting. i almost wish to see ferrari become competent so that he can have everything he wants, be their chosen one, etc.
realistically i just donāt think they will any time soon. and right now, charles gets treated like a second driver to carlos 99% of the time, so if heās going to get that treatment i would much rather it happen in an insanely competent team with a car that suits him (bc he and max have similar preferences) that he can excel with regardless of the teamās strategies. bc even if he doesnāt get preference, with the car he can carry it anyway.
however, i actually donāt think rbr would #2 driver him that aggressively. they like to be Uniqueā¢ and edgy. they like their youngest winners youngest drivers record breaking moldbreakers reputation. they are literally an energy drink dominating a bunch of legendary car constructors. if any team is going to decide to try out the two #1 drivers domination plan, itās going to be rbr.
especially when 1) fia/libertymedia have been pushing for a team to do it for the entertainment, 2) itās charles leclerc and treating ferrariās (very beloved, very marketable) prince better than ferrari ever did is an insanely good look, 3) mercedes couldnāt really do it without bloodshed and rbr loves to outdo mercedes, and 4) rbr want to keep their star driver engaged and entertained enough to keep him from retiring to a different racing seriesā¦ hand delivering his lifelong rival and new bestie in the same car so they can really fight (and knowing charles would actually challenge him) is a great strategy if you want to keep max in f1.
#more pessimistic view: they need a number 1 when max leaves them#so if they fear heās getting closer to retiring from f1? stealing a new star boy is high on the priority list#best outcome for rbr is max stays longer and he and Charles demolish the field together#worst outcome max still leaves in 28 or whenever his contract is up and they have Charles Leclerc to demolish the field#lestappen gate 2023#*oracles#lestappen#rbr Charles

One of my friends asked what some of my favorite moment in Worm are and I've narrowed it down to just a few but how am I supposed to choose between "they seem like good people" I lied, or the second lung fight with the caterpillar in the eye to win, or Taylor breaking out of the burning building Coil trapped her in, or her terrorizing people while drinking tea, or when Taylor tries to 1v1 Leviathan to save people and gets her back shattered, or when Rachel saves her afterwards, or when we learn Rachel carved the names of her dogs into the monument, or when Taylor almost kills Triumph with bees, or the Mannequin fight, or running through the streets to warn people about Shatterbird's scream, or the fridge, or cutting Noelle in half, or just how hopeless the Noelle fight seemed before that with Eidolon caught, or Eidolon and Glaistig Uaine's fight with Scion, or Phir SĆ©'s time bomb engulfing Behemoth and just obliterating him only for Behemoth to keep going, or Chevalier's interlude where he goes out to fight Behemoth alone despite being injured, or String Theory, or the wards therapy interlude where Lily can't get over how Taylor's words are stuck in her head, or Labyrinth and Burnscar reuniting, or Legend looking at the lie detector after the meeting, or Taylor hovering over the ocean knowing she doesn't have the battery in her flight pack to get back, or Aster getting shot, or the oil rig fight when Taylor crawls back up as a monster after being cut in half, or the horror of Alec's interlude, or Bonesaw having a crisis because Contessa said like 4 words to her and oh hey that parallels with you needed worthy opponents I never noticed that, or Taylor telling Eidolon and Scion to fuck off and leave, or Scion's entire interlude, or Number Man's interlude when he thinks about what it means of powers if Jack Slash's loves how he does stuff, or Kevin Norton, or Taylor ruining the chili, or the cafeteria scene where she's outed but talks her way out, or maggots in his eyes monday, or her turning herself in, or her talk with Dinah when she realizes that there's a solid chance she becomes Coil and keeps Dinah around because it's useful, or her killing Coil, or her killing Alexandria and Tagg, or the Cauldron raid where she swings a death knife through a crowd to hit one guy, or her requesting Lung cauterize her arm, or when Piggot is kidnapped and she fucks up the Undersiders just by talking, or Taylor's attempt to become besties with the Simurgh, or the Simurgh singing a lullaby to Lisa and Taylor, or the tea party with Nilbog, Taylor, Jack, and Riley, or the moment she reunites with her team post-timeskip, or when Glenn shows her a video of her being horrifying and she only thinks about her passenger moving her in it, or when her passenger makes her choke on a cockroach to save her, or going shopping with Lisa for fun, or when she helps Rachel at the shelter, or when she goes home with Brian and meets Aisha, or when we see Dinah for the first time and it's fucked, or when Taylor has Amy fuck with her brain knowing she won't come back from it, or when Lisa finally opens up and tells Taylor about her trigger, or when Taylor goes blind, or when Clockblocker keeps asking her questions in the car ride to Echdina, or when Scapegoat takes her injuries and freaks out, or when Sundancer tears off her costume and walks through the portal after killing Noelle but the pavement is cooling around her because she'll never escape her power or what she just did, or Fortuna's interlude, or Rachel stepping into Khepri's range because she trusts her, or Lisa tearing into Taylor with words after she sees what happened, or the realization she can't read anymore, or the fight with Dragon where she thinks she killed her, or all of the fight with Scion where she's controlling thousands of people while her brain deteriorates, or "finally, everyone was working together," or the talk with Contessa at the very end? How am I supposed to choose?
#worm#parahumans#the best moment is when Taylor becomes the worm and she beats everyone with her worm powers#that part was really well done#I FORGOT THE MIASMA KISS FUCK#how much other shit did I forget#this may be my worst formatted post of all time#ramble#half of these aren't really seriously in the running for my fave#but they're still good#and I just got into a fugue of listing every single good moment

Not to sound batshit crazy but I graduated college in December 2018 at age 21 which immediately led into a year and a half of the deepest darkest depression Iāve ever experienced as I was separated from ALL of my closest friends (who were still finishing school across wildly different states) and moved back home as I was still struggling to figure out what to do with my life and eventually working a terrible but demanding retail, used bookstore job for $13/hr (worst experience of my life tbh) WHILST holding a double bachelors degree to Covid hitting in 2020 and being furloughed from said job and living off unemployment checks while still miserable and not seeing my extended family, to my Grandma (the most amazing woman ever ever rip) dying of cancer in Nov 2021 to my mom being diagnosed with rare stage 4 bile duct cancer in March 2022 to being one of her main caretakers for the last two years to now all of a sudden being 27 going on 28 still living at home caring for my dying mom in hospice and fearing Iāve wasted my youth and I justā¦. First of all Iām very proud of myself, in all honesty, for making it this far, because a couple times I didnāt think I was going toā¦and at the same time I feel like Iāve lost the entirety of my 20s to quarantine and shitty jobs and not making a living wage and grieving all the people Iām closest to which is. Really fucking shit!! Idk. I donāt know where Iām going with this. Life sucks and itās also beautiful. Iām grateful to be able to log on to this stupid site and find a community of people who care about all the goofy things I care about. Love 2 u all.

I look 30+ ā ļø#like damn Iāve actually been through all that. thatās crazy!!#my 20s have been the WORST years of my life. and thereās this myth that theyāre supposed to be the best.#self discovery? idk her. I donāt have time to unpack my own life.#idk where im going with this tbh. just. how have 6 years passed and how did i make it and etc.#ktp
