Don’t focus on failed opportunities. Name three things you have right now.

For example I have depression, anxiety and a crippling fear of missing out

I think we all need to admit that when we tell friends β€œI’m ok” we really mean β€œI’m not going to kill myself”

Every time I open the compost one large insect flies out immediately like β€œThank you mistress I was born in that dark cave and I thought I would live and die my whole life inside these walls but now you’ve freed me.”

The background is RBG "When injustice becomes law resistance becomes duty" which is definitely not a thing she said. I do not argue with the people who run the show about RBG's flaws because that would get messy and she really was important in many ways that were ultimately undermined by hubris.

I have a lot of judgmental energy right now. Does anyone have a child I can scold?

You know what they say- sticks and stones will break my bones, but calling me a β€œtalentless hack” really does nothing for me, try being a little more specific

A man who used to explain random things on my posts immediately blocked me when I suggested he might be wrong about something. Sometimes the trash throws itself out

I don't know why people post hot pics to make their exes jealous. Post a gnarly pic of yourself and make them go "ick, I stuck my dick in that?" Truly the best revenge

Once I made a Trump supporter buy me a fancy vegan dinner and skewered him for his political beliefs until he admitted he was wrong. I’ve never felt more empowered as a woman

If no one’s ever described your personality as β€œscary” you’re not going to make it in comedy
