Me: Not me about to cry because my baby is starting FIFTH grade?! Look how big you are. I remember taking your kindergarten picture. I remember taking you home from the hospital…

Her: Ma’am this is a Wendy’s

Even the most incredible parents can only see you as *they* do, and they see your best interest through the lens of what they want for you.
They also project strengths and limitations on you because they are biased.
I try to remember this as I guide and raise my daughter.
Intuition isn’t coincidence. You were just incredibly perceptive to subtle bits of information you weren’t conscious of processing.
There are exceptions but if you had a hunch that turned out to be true it’s not chance: but truth.
Fear is a lie of the mind that will seduce you into thinking your dreams are nightmares, your excuses are reasons, and your weaknesses are strengths when you are challenged to grow.
Don’t indulge yourself.
We are only as good as our actions. Intentions are meaningless. We show people how we value them with our choices, not our wishes. Wishes are for children. Maturity is righteousness in difficulty. Doing the right thing is seldom easy but always worth it.
Don't listen to people because you agree with their answers.
Listen because you respect the intellectual integrity they bring to their questions.
You learn more from people who challenge your thought process than from those who affirm your conclusions.

Proof that money can’t buy taste.
It’s literally a Unicode character laid over a texture that looks like it came from a free set of Photoshop brushes I downloaded from DeviantArt in like 2004.
I keep thinking there’s something on my screen that needs wiping off.
Then I realize the thing that’s on my screen is just awful design.
Embarrassing tbh
