Many people don't understand that weight isn't only a "laziness" factor. It can be genetic, medical, situational, stress induced... So don't judge fat people just by seeing us.

I like this analogy. Restaurants are also far harder than people think.

Some people don't have a partner just because they don't need one.

The exact opposite can be true too. I hate children and have three I love more than anything. Except the cats.

Oh I'm judging her, alright. Judging her for getting to this point without realizing he's a child that can't mind his business. Get that lil boy out your house!

I promise you the top on is not true, it’s only true if you break your leg, or have something acute. Have a physical, long term illness or anything “hidden” regardless of whether it’s physical, mental, systemic, crosses into both sides, and as I’m sure many others can relate, you won’t get any help, empathy or support in the same way as an acute injury.

💯 I don’t have to do something just because somebody else wants me to, or “thinks I would be good at it.”

I've been in square number 4. However today I made bacon, black garlic and bourbon chutney, so a very good day ☺️

Unfortunately true. Reminds me of a pet foolery comic I saw on webtoon…

And the biggest punishment of all? Society’s harassment, if you don’t want to have children and manage to successfully prevent them, while still having a good sėx life.

My husband is so good at this. If I start ranting or raging about something, he just simply asks if I want his help or if I just want to vent.

Why an engagement ring? Not really a thing over here, and when I see that in movies a girl gets a ring, it always gives me "you're ringed now, so you're mine" vibes. Totally different from both partners wearing a wedding ring.
