Romance is nice but just genuinely wanting to be around each other is a feeling I’m unfamiliar with experiencing until now.

I made sure that I genuinely liked the next person who came in my life before listening to my heart (and other parts 😏). I could spend hours just talking & being together as friends. Sure, there is a lot of emotions tangled up in there but the prevailing one is friendship first.

I saw a reel where a woman was talking about liking her husband first before loving him. That is an important distinction. You can live without liking - literally what happened in my marriage and I ultimately filed for divorce. No one should live like that.

Honestly, I shop early and local. It’s big box stores who continue to cower to what’s happening now. This year we are having an experience for Christmas which had already been booked and paid off months ago. If it weren’t for that, we’d be doing this small and based off of what I could locally

I am making a 2.5 hour day trip to support my partner… bc that’s what you do.

I saw the same thing in FB but ppl in the comments were all about that “ruining Christmas for the kids”

1 - idk who can do all their shopping in 1 wknd

2 - we know causing businesses to feel our frustration in their profits works (see what’s happened to 🎯)

3 - something dramatic needs to happen

Absolutely. My partner’s birthday is the day before mine. Meeting him is the best thing that’s happened to me.

I can only add to the bad rep… my ex-husband is a Pisces.

I cannot get over how someone who said “you are not husband material” made a boyfriend appreciation post about said not-husband-material bf. That was the day I stopped respecting them. Stopped even remotely liking that person. How gross. How hurtful.

It is really hard to not let someone who constantly attacks people you love get to you.

Being surrounded by drag queens and kings gets me closer and closer to being roped into being on stage with them. I am equally excited and terrified. I suppose this is what happens when you fall for a performer 🤷🏻‍♀️

If you don’t immediately say yes to believing that gay people have the right to marry who they love, you are a bigot. You don’t have gay friends, you know gay people.

I need someone to explain to me why, when someone gets put on administrative leave, the employer also must isolate the individual. I get not discussing the reason behind the leave, fine. But completely separating them from their friends they made at work? That seems cruel.

i am free(er)

Having an abusive exhusband is exhausting. He still attacks me and my life when he’s feeling particularly sorry for himself.

The day is coming quickly where his youngest child will want nothing to do with him. Especially the nastier he gets about me and my partner.

I’m making gumbo Saturday and I cannot think of anything more delicious.

Grad school is really hampering my fun reading. But I am finding this class on human resource development to be incredibly interesting.

I can distributed between my two legs and feet. 🤷🏻‍♀️ But bench pressing? Nope. Leg press? Absolutely. Don’t mess with me.

Yes. But you didn’t specify how. I could be behaving poorly or exceptionally. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I have never been happier in my relationships and that is terrifying. The world around me is on fire but I live in a love bubble.

I am not an uncaring person but when a bad person is experiencing bad thing, I find I have to actually force myself to care. It’s hard. Especially when I know said bad person is emotionally manipulative.

This will always been the case. I shared this sentiment during the first term and it still stands now.

Strong leaders build their people up, they don’t leave them feeling dejected. I had previously been seen as a teacher leader by administrator after admin, when that is stripped away by someone who cannot seem to be bothered, it leaves its mark.

Unwanted comments about what your body does to a person are sexual harassment.

Just don’t do it. I’m repulsed by it and some ppl just need to get the hint.

Where I teach is getting a new principal. The entire process has been obscured - no stakeholder input, not list of the candidates, limited public interviews - seems too much like something is trying to be hidden about the administration hiring process.

My partner lives two and a half hours away. We see each other as often as we can and the next time we are spending time together is Wednesday through Saturday for the holiday. They are very disgruntled I have to work until 2P that day before I can get on the road. It is really nice to be wanted.

It isn’t news when bad people turn out to be bad people who also do bad things.

Registered for my fall course work… I am taking an HR class and will be focusing on qualitative research for my study. I hope I chose correctly.

I said I wanted to go home and a person came to mind rather than a place… so that’s news.
