One minute, it's YOLO! The next, it's "oh no!" At some point the excitement of becoming and independent adult wears off, and is replaced with the realization that it's not always all it's cut out to be. You go from "living your best life" to hoping that you'll survive the week intact, with at least one clean spoon. And oh, how you wish you could take a day off from your day off...

That's because using litmus test logic on complex multiple-dimensional beings is a fools game. Also the most popular game on the planet right now.
I remember working at a restaurant as a server when I was 18 and I would constantly bi*tch about the lead server, who was around 40 at the time, that she was 'so crabby and bitter', etc. I'm 39 and I still work in restaurants and having to work with teenagers I totally understand her now. I wish I could tell Deb that I'm sorry for giving her a hard time and I get it now!
THE main reason for the breakup of my marriage. An alcoholic trying to convince me he isn't drinking when our bank account and trash can reflect otherwise. That and stealing my medications. There's only so far you can push someone... Even if you think they are stupid.
Words I've actually spoken: "You seem to be throwing a steady series of tests in my path. How about we assume I'll fail one eventually and move on to the punishment phase?" The look on their face is almost outmatched by the sounds of backpedaling.
"We're absolute opposites, we don't have anything in common, but I still love him so much, he's my sweetie ❤️🥰" Yeah, I give it a few months TOPS.
I had a Dodge Ram with a mystery warning light on the dashboard. It took me a couple of months to figure it out. It was a Canadian dashboard and it was a warning that the parking brakes weren't working. I already knew that. It was one of five reasons I believed that truck was built from pieces of other trucks.
As I tell my husband everytime we pack , better to have and not use it than wanting it and not have it.
"I'm planning to go to Saturn to take some photos of its rings, they're really good this time of year" or "I'm going to Mars to hike up the side of Olympus Mons, so I might be a bit tired when I come back on Monday". Oddly, I don't get asked what I'm doing at the weekend any more.
I used to do that with little trips or events. Now I just do it with food, but sometimes planning to have a nice sandwich helps get you through nine hours of work.
My nephew after listening to a woman yelling about lost luggage: "No, you're right ma'am. I see here we purposely dumped it from the plane somewhere over Wyoming." Amazingly, it didn't calm her down.
Well stated. And the lesson that teenagers/young people need to mature into.
Take photos of your loved ones, even if they hate being in photos. Losing a loved one and realising there are no pictures of them is devastating. I lost my partner 3 yrs ago and realised I only had 5 photos of him from our 15yr relationship, his mum only had a handful of childhood pics. I wish I'd forced him to take more.
I call that the "Psycho Floaties" and the illusion that we really know our own selves.
Why would you even add the last two letter to "hate" when you're already using an "8"?
