Dear Paige, Crazy how the saying “Things get better” is really true. To the 19yo who started to suffer from depression and the 20yo who walked into the psych ward because she didn’t want to be here any more, by 25, you’ll be surrendered by the best support system

Because the moment you’re most successful, prettier, more fit, more educated or even just happy, they’ll hate on you. Lol

I feel so old

schools were shaken and the cafeteria was never the same after that

Can’t ever forgive someone taking advantage of me while I was drunk. I’m disgusted everytime I think about it.

I can’t wait until an investigative report is published a year from now showing that these mass layoffs are a result of offshoring rather than just “AI”.

Studying patterns has saved me many times

A bad manager can sabotage an employee’s whole career. And it happens more than you think.

One of the saddest scenes in the modern world is an immigrant apologizing for their accent to someone who speaks only one language.

NYC summers hate your weekends. I analyzed 3 years of Central Park rain data to see if the feeling was real. It was. 27 of 38 summer weekends had measurable rain. That’s 71%. Friday was the rainiest day of the week, with rain on 43.6% of summer Fridays. Basically worse than a coin flip for your evening plans. Sunday had the highest rainfall volume of any day, averaging 0.17 inches. It may not rain every Sunday, but when it does, it commits. Thursday was objectively the best day to be outside in NYC: lowest precipitation, clearest skies, least weekend-related misery. The wildest stat: 70.8% of rainy Sundays were preceded by a gross Friday or Saturday. The weekend basically telegraphs its own downfall. I built a full dashboard using NWS Central Park data with every weekend tracked and every raindrop counted:

Cardi B and Ciara are a great lesson, you either learn after your baby daddy or you double down and fuck up worse

Listen you ain't never seen functional alcoholism until you've worked with white people and Mexicans.

One thing nobody tells you about adulthood is how fun it is to become your own person. One day you randomly start liking jazz, olive green, expensive dark chocolate, documentaries about volcanoes, weird lamps, sparkling water, books about loneliness in Tokyo, silver jewelry and quiet cafés. Your personality keeps unfolding forever if you let it.

when she realized she couldn't compete with a baby and dropped the hardest r&b album out in decades!!

Shaq reveals he tracked down his biological father who abandoned him and found out he lived 40 blocks away the whole time "My mother said you should connect with your biological father. I called my uncle who's a cop. He said, 'You ain't gonna believe this, you know that restaurant we eat at all the time? He lives in that building'" "There was always a chef there who'd start crying when he saw me. He said, 'I'm Joe's best friend. I just hope one day you come down here and y'all can eat'" "He's 40 blocks away. I went to meet him. He said sorry. I said, you don't need to say sorry, everybody has their problems"

30 years ago you didn't need to be 50 years old to head major projects or have responsibility.

I MUST get back to reading novels, I'm slowly losing my vocabulary…….

The kids who are raised with fear learn how to avoid punishment. Kids who are raised with respect learn self-discipline. Some parents don't need to shout, threaten, or control every move because they are present, consistent, and set clear boundaries. Their children behave not because they are terrified, but because they understand accountability and mutual respect.

It’s very important to decide to be happy the moment you wake up, do not dwell into things you have no control over.

you can tell how much internal shame someone has by how judgmental they are.
