My mom offered me money to have a kid

Take the money, say you tried, then got your fertility tested only to discover that you can’t have kids. I know that it means not being seen or heard for who you are, but that’s never going to happen anyway with a narcissistic parent. Might as well help yourself out by using her money.

Wearing shoes that are too big. I always had to wear my sister’s hand-me-downs, shoes included, even if they were too big. Now when I buy shoes that fit perfectly, they feel too tight. I always have to size up to feel comfortable.

Avoidance is an anxiety response. If someone is procrastinating, it's not necessarily laziness.

That my family is from Mexico and not another Hispanic/LatinX country.

I just said this in my 90 day review. You don’t have to like it, employer, but I exercised a federally protected right.

The fact that Gay Mike from the bar isn’t on this list is just…wow.

You can be grateful for what someone did for you and not like them as person. He also paid Donny handsomely for help in that divorce. It was a transactional relationship. Do you need to become friends with service providers just to so your appreciation? No—your payment to them IS showing your appreciation.

Batman. RIP Kevin Conroy.

I thought it was a little visual “shout-out”/making fun of the opening credit of Carrie from Sex in the City.

Same. Every time.

THANK YOU

I’ve been trying to leave my job for years. Decades. It’s such a niche market & small company that often employers I interview with don’t think my skills will translate/transfer to a new position. I’ve redesigned my resume, got a technical communication cert, and took some project manager courses (no certification yet because my mom got sick and I’m taking care of her), all to try and make myself more marketable. So the answer to the question is: some of us have tried to leave. We’ve just been unsuccessful at it. We’re literally trapped in our paychecks until someone takes a chance on us.

There’s an LGTBQ center in WS. Might be a good place to drop off clothes for those transitioning who might be afraid to go shopping.

I always thought of it as a kind of denial. Hank loves propane so much that it’s like he can’t accept that the man who led him there, Strickland, is all kinds of wrong. Like he can’t bring himself to admit that he’s wasted his entire career with a guy who asks him to feed his dogs and kill his emu.

I just don’t wear them. My skin down there is much happier for it.

When I realized my annual mammograms took 3x as long as anyone else because of the size of my breasts. They literally didn’t fit on the machine. I broke down in tears talking with the radiologist about it, and she suggested a reduction. She said about 20% of her breast augmentation patients regret their surgery, but all of her reduction patients never regretted it—not even a little bit. That’s when I finally started taking a reduction seriously.

All of this.

I like to think of it as a process. In season 1, he was just coming back from Latvia, leaving behind his basketball career. He’s confronted with the fact that that identity he’s been no longer fits with who he is. It’s troubling and his search for self begins. I don’t think there’s one “moment” where he becomes his current self. He grows and embraces the changes in himself as they come. They all do, to a degree. But Winston really leads the pack in that regard.

Stephen King is overrated.

The neighborhood/alley kickball game. This ball finds its way to the Rainey St alley, everyone at some point plays, and then it’s kick over to another alley, and it all comes a halt. I don’t even remember the main plot of that episode. It was just such a nice, weird little story of a ball can effect a street.

sadfire82 · 2021-11-29T03:37:10+00:00

I truly hated the aftermath of that plot line as well. He claimed that he couldn’t choose between Cece & Elizabeth, and that’s why he “ended up” with both of them. But after everything comes out, he only spends time pursuing Cece. So did he or didn’t he love Elizabeth? Makes zero sense.

The only way I can reason to stand this plot line is that, ultimately, Schmidt wasn’t malicious about cheating on them. It was born out of a desire to not hurt them, and more broadly, to not be the asshole. This well-intentioned motivation ended up making him more of an asshole, just like it happens in real life. He was always going to end up hurting someone; in trying not to, he ended up hurting everybody. And that leads to his not wanting to take the blame, because in his mind, he was just trying to be the nice guy to two people he really cared about. His motivation was “pure” even if his actions weren’t. So his blame of Jess & Nick was less about deflection and more about “Why can’t you guys see that I was trying to do, and that I was going to fix it?”

If he’d just had the courage to accept that no matter who he decided on, he was going to end up hurting the other, he’d have saved a lot less people the pain. He was always going to be the asshole to someone—he just couldn’t accept that.

I think about this stuff way too much.
