I dislike people in the abstract but I love all of you in particular. Retweets are not approvals.

My therapist once told me to do something strange. He said, "Write everything down as if you're dying in 30 minutes." I laughed and said, "What? That's not true..." But before I could finish, he shouted, "Are you out of your mind? I said you're dying. Write it down!" His tone changed everything. I wanted to ask questions, but he yelled again, "Why are you wasting time on me? You have 29 minutes and 30 seconds left." So I picked up my pen and started writing. At first, I didn't know what to say. Then I wrote to my parents, my friend, my siblings. I wrote everything I never said out loud. It was like all feelings came out at once. When the 30 minutes were over my therapist told me to stop. "Rest for fifteen minutes and then I'll tell you something." I sat there breathing hard, eyes wet and totally uncontrollable heart beat. mind racing. He gave me a glass of water and said, "Now read what you wrote." I read it slowly. Every word was full of love, regret, and things left unsaid. He then asked, "Why didn't you write to your boss? Or your exes? Or the people you complain about?" I said, "Why would I write to them?" He smiled and said, "Exactly. If they don't matter in your last moments, why do they matter so much now?" Author unknown (shared from Facebook group)

Men have looked to women for emotional support for time immemorial. Feminists brand this 'emotional labour' and tell women to stop doing it, then the manosphere says that things have always been like this and men just have to adapt to it.

When is a monster not a monster? Oh, when you love it.

Old moms are more neurotic because they spent their years of youthful neuroplasticity goofing off and it turns out that adapting to motherhood in the grandma years (40+) is actually very difficult.

Once parenthood went from *something most people just do* to another option exquisitely, intentionally, painstakingly chosen, then: 1) The pressure increased to give your kids "the best of everything." 2) Other people felt like it was your choice, so your problem.
