You were a kid. It was your job to be an imperfect work in progress. They were the adult. It was their job not to take your imperfection personally. The fact that they weren't up to that job isn't your fault-- you COULDN'T have done your parents' job for them if you'd wanted to.

And you don’t have to feel bad if you need to tell a person to their face that you won’t continue a conversation like this.
The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

Dear retailers of any sort of hair accessory product: I’m not even considering buying your product(s) if you don’t have a photo or video of said product in the thickest, longest hair you can find.
Sure it looks great in that thin Nordic hair, gimme a pic in some heavy Mediterranean hair.

15yo was watching #F1 w/ me just now (which she usually doesn't) and she remarks on the commentators being British, so I say, well it's broadcast by a British channel called Sky Sports and she's like, "Oh I know Sky Sports" and she proceeds to tell me all about this, which I had no idea about.

If you send holiday gift lists to multiple family members, SEND THEM DIFFERENT LISTS. No, I don’t talk to my sister-in-law’s parents; I’m not gonna tell them what I’m getting your kids from the list. And if they happen to buy the same thing b/c you are too lazy to split things up that’s your fault.

Just a friendly reminder that the Polar Vortex is not an Arctic storm, polar hurricane, blizzard or things that comes to visit us. Lobes of its wave system can dip south into the U.S. bringing colder air. I have already seen a car commercial improperly refer to it and a major newspaper headline.

I’m starting to think the Cavs are never going to get it together. They had days off to rest. Doesn’t look like it. Multiple players don’t seem to understand roles from possession to possession. Idk there is a competitiveness missing from some of these guys.
