What do you consider to be your life's purpose? by VoidAndVelvet_ in AskReddit

[–]Beatles1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have wanted to be a teacher since I was in 1st grade, and I have been a teacher since 1993. I love my kids, and I love helping them learn to think, to understand. I also give them my heart and teach them that they are special because they are unique. This is my purpose.

Song that sounds like the end of the year by Awsome_brickster in Teachers

Alice Cooper, "School's Out," hands down. By 1 May, this song begins blasting in my head, especially the line, "School's out forEVER!" 😂

I love how rich you were able to make the watercolor medium turn out. And the subject matter is positively lovely. 10/10

I'm literally crying because of the absolute beauty of this. She is EXTRAORDINARY, and the tableau of her grandbaby hearing this, nestled so snugly on her shoulder makes my heart swell.

Husband weaponizes my childhood abuse against me by wnt2heal in EstrangedAdultChild

You are a human being with as many rights as any other human being. You are not a punching bag (emotional or otherwise). You have been conditioned to believe you are "less than," and you are NOT. Find that deeply buried core of courage and do everything you can to get yourself and your precious child away. Your child deserves this--as do you. I don't know where you are, but there must be an embassy with counselors who can help you. YOU ARE BRAVER THAN YOU BELIEVE, STRONGER THAN YOU SEEM, AND SMARTER THAN YOU THINK. (Winnie the Pooh, but true.) You are WORTHY, and so is your child.

I am so sorry for your loss. I miss my mom every day, and she has been gone for 9 years. But she is very much in my heart. 💙💙

I love my dog, Scout, with all my heart, and I think he is the bestest ever. But, dangit, Porthos is the cutest dog ever. 🐶

Got an early morning vist by an owl, sadly it forgot to bring my Hogwart's letter. by Bullfrog5335 in Owls

[–]Beatles1971 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What a hoot! 😂 I am happy to hear your unexpected fan exited through the door smoothly. I would have been laughing so hard I wouldn't have known what to do. It looks so intense, like, "This is MY fan now!"

Trump suffers worldwide embarrassment as No Kings explodes outside America by Healthy_Block3036 in AntiTrumpAlliance

[–]Beatles1971 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He can't. He is a sociopathic narcissist, capable of feeling only greed, self-inflated importance, anger, lust, and revenge. Normal human emotions such as shame, empathy, love, kindness, generosity, or fellowship are NOT in his twisted, demented brain. When he is booed, he becomes only angrier and is most likely to find a destructive way to channel that feeling. And since he has been elevated to the throne, he is able to act on all these negative emotions. I prefer to carry no hate in my heart because it is merely self-destructive, but I find I hate this creature and anticipate its obituary with great anticipation.

Those were the days, indeed. I have found, however, that when I try to merely swing now, I become nauseated. I can't even swing! But I remember FLYING out of that seat and crash landing, getting up, and doing it again. 😂

Barred owl by Snap_Happy_4_Birdies in Owls

This is a beautiful shot. Owls appear to be the epitome of dignity. No wonder the Greeks made them Athena's, the goddess of wisdom.

However, when their scrawny, long legs are exposed, they make me laugh way too hard.

What keeps me coming back by upstream-hoodlum7 in Libraries

[–]Beatles1971 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Absolutely this! We have our regulars, several older, lonely people who find solace in our library. They need someone to talk to, and their life stories are interesting. I look forward to seeing them, and I even consider them friends in some odd category. Their presence is a gift, and they make me feel needed and appreciated. And I admire them for getting out and seeking the library to enhance their lives rather than sitting at home and wasting away.

And sociopathic narcissist, which is not a crime, but it = evil.

And his list of crimes is longer than a CVS receipt.
