"People don't change when they're safe and comfortable. When things seem the worst, that's when people can change the most." Alex explains to her, trying to encourage Imogen to get out there and not be tied to someone who isn't willing to give her it all. "My... my brother's kind of a know-it-all but I've been reading his book. The one he wrote about... about us. Our family." Alex asks her again: "Are you going to try to make things work with some dingbat who only cares about how you can make his life easier? Or are you going to put that effort into living the life YOU want?" Imogen can't hold back the retort. "That's easy for you to say! Look at you!" She starts to count on her fingers. "I don't have an inheritance, or well-connected friends! I'm not gorgeous or talented... I'm just a frumpy, boring..." She deflates as she says it no matter how much she loves her kids. "Mom."

"Imogen..." Alex chides gently, taking her hand. "You're so much more than that." "I'm just not. I'm sorry." she closed her eyes, making Alex's brows furrow. "Sit down." She orders, turning to get something. Imogen manages a small 'what?' as she hears her. "Do you trust me?" "Yeah of course but..." she sets herself down and both of her hands on her knees. "You're not going to cut my hair are you? It's so much work if I can't just tie it back." she frets. "Imogen... are you worth the work?" Alex reminds her, wanting her to spend time on herself. "I... I am?" she asked more than confirmed it but Alex took it as is. "I think so too." She says with a smile.

Suburbanite Imogen's cool queer neighbor Alex reminds her of what she gave up for her family-- the kind of peaceful, supportive family Alex never had.

Together, they learn there's more to life when you follow your heart 💛

Fuck it breaking my NDA. The rumors are true I’m the person who Elon hired to play hundreds of hours of Animal Crossing. If you hand him the controller, he doesn’t even know you can use a party popper to stop wasps from stinging you. He just keeps letting himself get stung and dies and dies and dies

An… interesting facet of this place is you can do a post about wanting to eat or having eaten A Huge Sandwich and if enough people see it you’re bound to get a reply or quote RT like “Well nothing will be A Huge Sandwich once that orange traitor is back in charge!”
