When you have done the work you needed to, to become the person you want to be, it then becomes easy to see the work that someone else *hasn't* done.

I love waiting more than a year for an appointment and then sitting waiting in the room alone for an hour past my appointment time. People have jobs they need to get to!!!!

Hahahahha not sure the part that makes you feel that way, but reply guys are the guys who just won't. stop. replying in the most condescending way possible. And I want them to get the fuck out. It's just like a meme post format.

I'm happy to pay taxes for those things. It's the "make childfree people pay ADDITIONAL taxes" that gets my goat when we are by and large already paying more than people with kids.

Make the rich pay what they owe before deciding single means tons of disposable income.

Buy my friend's book!

8 years ago, my first novel came out in paperback. It's nearly impossible to reach back & touch the feelings of accomplishment, triumph, and joy I felt holding that book and knowing soon others would hold it too. It's currently available on Amazon now in ebook & paperback. It's part 1 of a trilogy.
