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...

I love that in Polish you always say things the same way as you see them, I've learned a lot of fancy words reading and I've never mispronounced them. English, though... I started in high school and I was the only one who didn't have the basic level and was put in pre intermediate group. I've never learned the basics and I always mispronouce sky/ski, beach/b***h, desert/dessert. I fear these words deeply.

Your secrets are safe with me because I zoned out and didn't hear a single word you said..
Partly because I’m not getting involved in your drama, and partly because I’m just not interested in the minutiae of your life. Some things just need to be kept to yourself, ffs.

My "treat yourself" is time off of work in which I can be left alone to play some video games. That's all. I already own the system and the games. I don't need to buy shït. I just need the dämn time.
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!
At one of my brother's hockey games when I was a teen, I saw a little girl ask her mom and (maybe) aunt if they were born within a certain few decades. "That was a longlonglonglonglonglonglong time ago". she said. This girl was maybe 7 or 8
Oh yeah, the point is to PLAN something, not DO something

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.
Yupp, that is insulting. I appreciate the effort you put into making up a story for me, but do try and make it plausible - or live with me stopping to pay any attention to whatever you say.
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.
Worse when the low tire pressure light comes on and the mechanic at the dealership can't even tell you what that warning light means.... Wasn't a good transaction/experience overall.
I got that on a mock driving test. Like, dude, ain't no way in hell I'm going to be able to afford a car that does stuff like that. What next, an icon to say the sunroof isn't open the optimal amount?
Load More Replies..."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.
Oh, but much more rewarding when I step outside my comfort zone and break that ice with a smile or "Have a good day!"
Load More Replies...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.
As I tell my husband everytime we pack , better to have and not use it than wanting it and not have it.
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.
AMEN!! I NEED something to look forward to. It's sooooo hard to pull out of the abyss of depression to plan/schedule something though...
"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.
While you're at it, might I recommend Neptune with it's screaming 1000mph winds and possible diamond rain? Awesome experience if somewhat painful and probably lethal.

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.

I like floating on my back, in a pool, at night. It's like floating in the stars

I am envious. I used to work 7am-3pm and I miss it terribly.
Load More Replies...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.
This. I hate having my picture taken, and I'm slowly realizing that I only have a handful with my son... I gotta change that
Load More Replies...I call that the "Psycho Floaties" and the illusion that we really know our own selves.
I don't understand the mechanism but I'm prepared to swear in court that putting expensive new tires on a car makes it run better for a few weeks.
New tyres, properly balanced and inflated can make a very real difference to the handling of a car. That's why I will always change both tyres on an axle, whether they both need changing or not.

Could be that, like BP, the original posting might have some overzealous censors

Some of us are hard of hearing, even with our hearing aids on.
