I wonder how many of us spend our 20s looking for our "other half" - people that complete us - in a belief that we are insufficient.

Can I pull this look together in time for critical mass? 🤔

I dont see a ton of value in insisting "I was born this way", but nature or nurture, I never stood a chance. 😳

I seriously can't reccomend relationship counseling with the right professional enough. It really helps establish and celebrate what is working well, and find words for what isn't. Don't wait until the stuckness is significant!

I don't think I've ever loved myself or my life this much. I don't think I've ever valued and been so valued by my community.
I don't think I've ever felt such intense sorrow!
I'm very glad to be feeling.

Incredibly irresponsible for media to report on the officer-to-population ratio - which cops constantly use to demand more funding - without providing context that there is NO EVIDENCE that increased policing leads to improved safety for all. It's just regurgitating PR.

When drinking was robbing my life of joy, I saw any suggestion to that effect as a threat to the little pockets of peace it seemed cracking open a beer after work afforded me. Having to drug yourself to begin to contemplate the prospect of facing tomorrow's work is so unacceptable, and so accepted.
