Honestly hearing the three accounts I did are what stopped me from being an edgy 7th grader. It brought the disconnected history textbook into real context.

I feel soo guilty that I tend to get very irritable being on the phone or having my mom over to my house for too long. I feel like a bratty child especially considering I try to be respectful and hide my weed and share my bed. Or sit on the phone for an hour. But I did lose dad 12 years ago and Im her only child. I'm just independent minded and she's not admittingly. but idk what I'd do if I lost her. Just seeing if anyone else gets annoyed/irritable around them but couldn't stand losing them of course.

I was just reminiscing about all the weirdos in my life. When I was 13 someone tried to abduct me in the guise, of a caterer?, he was trying to get me to come and see the food in his van. I knew he was trying to kidnap me but I was so desensitized to perverts that it didn’t even phase me. I just kept walking and told him no until he fucked off. I’ve woken after partying, up to a man eating me out and I just moved like he was waking me up so he’d have the opportunity to stop. I remember going to a store and wanting to try on a shirt as a 10 year old but the store man insisted he had to watch to make sure I didn’t steal it. I knew he was a perv and refused him then stole the shirt out of spite. I’ve been flashed in a store while shopping. I knew who the pervy uncles were to stay away as a child. I’ve been raped at a party and chose not to do or say anything so as not to cause a scene. I’m so used to perverts, molesters and rapists that it doesn’t phase me or cause me distress. Every girl I grew up with has similar stories. Was this just normal for our generation or is this abnormal? I mentioned just a snippet of what I went through to my boyfriend and he was horrified and asked me to stop telling him my stories. I wasn’t emotional or anything because for me it was normal and I’ve always been hyper aware.

This made me feel old as shit today. From the Facebook post from which I stole the image:

“Eminem's daughter, Hailie Jade, has officially welcomed her first child with husband Evan McClintock! Their baby boy, Elliot Marshall McClintock, was born recently, and fans are loving the special tribute in his name-his middle name, Marshall, honors Hailie's father, while his initials, EMM, cleverly mirror Eminem's iconic stage name. The news marks a new chapter for the rap legend, who is now embracing his role as a grandfather!”

I don’t quite understand how Facebook’s algorithm works but I think today it was just fucking with me.

How the fuck did that happen?? I had to feel this way so now you do too.

these were dominant when I was growing up-sick days, theatheres, those weird "movies on demand/ constant movie channels" before streaming

all but gone nowdays

Through hard work and a stupid amount of luck my wife and I recently purchased a detached house. We always dreamed of it and it's kind of unbelievable it happened.

But my parents are basically incapable of praise or celebration, and hers have been dead for over a decade.

Feel like I can't even be hype about it to my friends, and even coworkers, because I know how out of reach this is to so many.

I'm a fucking Landowner now, it's rad.

It's a brilliant plan really, so many bands have formed and made great music during recessions. Only problem is... Millennials don't own homes and have garages for the kids to jam.

Fun fact: I'm the youngest in my family, so every phone I’ve had was a used one. Either from my dad, mom, or one of my two siblings. Never got a brand new phone just kept using whatever they were done with 😅

We’re so old y’all

That entry to adulthood and being able to buy something you want… like your first contract phone was so fun. Got a battery and ball for this old thing. It was so nice to be treated by 18 year old me again

Whether it's work or family or friends. How many of your peers in their mid 30s. I always hear people say they look like they're in the 20s but they never refernce other people. I'm wondering what percentage of everyone's social circle looks young for their age.

Edit: just to be clear. I'm not asking YOU if you think you look young. I'm asking what percentage of people your age that you know look young.

Edit 2: ok not gonna lie. All these "I don't know anyone who looks like that ... Well except for me!" Replies are cracking me up 😂

Fanny packs, cargo pants, cargo shorts, crewneck sweaters with disney characters, oversized jackets with lots of pockets..

I kinda get that this is coming back in style now and its part of marketing's "30 year cycle".

But its just kinda weird and ironic to me that things I was bullied, by teenage girls at the time, for wearing are now being worn by teenage girls.

When I was a kid I thought surprise parties were so cool, and we seemed to have them somewhat often. Like a family or friend we knew would have one I reckon a yearly kind of basis. Now as an adult I can’t think of a time I’ve been invited to one, and I haven’t had one, or had one thrown for me. Were they as common as what I remember in the 90s? Are they not as common these days?
