"im tired of living through major historical events" is now "dear lord please let me witness a high profile political assassination in the next 1-2 years. amen"

Now that IS good news

Notice the ones who make an effort to stay in your life.

sometimes in knitting you just have to go 'nobody but me will notice this mistake' and keep going

I highly recommend doing the same thing in life.

no rules here

my main requirement in a partner is someone who's willing to "yes, and" me. if i say something completely insane i need them to just pick that up and run with it and commit to the bit until we wind up with a conversation that's funny to us but completely incoherent to everyone within earshot. actually now that i'm typing this out i've realised my ideal relationship might just be "shitty improv comedy duo"

Do yourself a favour and start believing you deserve everything good in life and that nothing is out of reach for you.
