i can’t stress how important it is to know who you are as a person because people will literally try to project their insecurities + preconceived notions onto you.

it’s so strange scanning old pictures. found a photo of my mom with a note scrawled on the back of it to my dad (presumably before they were dating) where she thanked him for helping her with her chemistry homework and told him not to let bullies get to him because he was perfectly nice and wishing him the best with his girlfriend??

1. this is all kinds of weird to me knowing that the state of my parents’ relationship has never been what one would call healthy as long as i’ve known it, so it’s strange to see a time where they were friends and presumably acted somewhat normal, but on that note….

2. girl (mom) you weren’t dating him and sent him a note on the back of a photo of yourself??? looking like a farrah fawcett model?? what?

I know it’s tough for everyone but please, please be extra nice and patient with little kids right now. they’re going through so much, we’re not going to understand the amount of worldwide trauma these kids have for years, but for context: a five year old who has memories only from the age of three has spent HALF their conscious life under quarantine. they haven’t interacted with other kids in person. they’ve only seen people with masks. they’ve spent all this time in a home with distressed adults and little stability without truly understanding why. for a massive chunk of their conscious life. so if a kid comes up and talks to you just let them have your attention for a few minutes. don’t snap at a child crying or having a meltdown in public, and don’t make the parent feel guilty. it’s not that difficult to be kind.

i’m gonna go the extra mile and say even when all this is over be patient with kids! Be kind to kids! They’re just tiny people i promise u it won’t hurt to be kind to them!
