i like working at plant store. sometimes you ring up someone and there's a slug on their plant and so you're like "Oh haha you've got a friend there let me get that for you" and you put the slug on your hand for safekeeping but then its really busy and you dont have time to take the slug outside before the next customer in line so you just have a slug chilling on your hand for 15 minutes. really makes you feel at peace with nature. also it means sometimes i get to say my favorite line which is "would you like this free slug with your purchase"

Swett evening!
“No matter how hard life is, miracles always find a place, like an innocent flower growing in the middle of the desert. Its roots may not be deep and you may not have planted the seed, but it is there. It has come for you in your most hopeless hour and is waiting for you to find it.”
I’m so awkward, it’s embarrassing and hilarious 😂 if I’m not in my usual environments it’s like my brain stops working and I can’t get words out when people speak to me.
Anywho, my car has been dropped off and hopefully they’ll find what’s wrong with it and it won’t cost thousands of dollars. Please universe, give me a break.
I feel not so great about myself lately. I gotta figure my shit out.
My black eye is kind of getting better I think? Every time my kids look at me they very dramatically tell me how bad it is 😂 oddly enough, only one person at work noticed it yesterday, or rather only one person spoke up about it lol I’m shocked how people are either not observant or don’t want to ask me? I haven’t worked with any of my bff’s so that will be the real test lol
I have to take my oldest to the college soon. I think I’ll get some Starbucks today.
I’m off for three but I really need to work some OT. But we haven’t been super busy and I don’t think NICU has been either. I’ll text them later when I decide.
Let’s try to have a good day! 💛

heal so that when someone is trying to love you, you let them.
hi, a lot of you need a perspective reset
the average human lifespan globally is 70+ years
taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult
at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)
'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65
it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age
it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.
you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, be fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.
young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!
there are a million things to do in the world, and they don't vanish overnight because an imaginary number gets too big
