honestly.  i’m not downplaying his problems.  but at least his only vice was pot.  if it were much harder drugs, i’d be a lot more worried.  i think he’s really happy with her, and seems in control.  good for him! 

i offered to the alcoholic to go to AA with me and try a healthy change together.  i didn’t pressure him to quit drinking, but i thought we could support each other to dry out a bit.  he didn’t acknowledge that comment.  he’s clearly hell bent on committing to his ways, and has zero self awareness.  this is evident in…

i’m seriously thinking about quitting. i just ended a five month whirlwind relationship with an alcoholic. it’s left a bitter taste in my mouth. that, and i’m seriously bloated and i’m over it! i work out a LOT. and i eat a healthy mediterranean diet. i eat like, zero processed food, and watch my calories.  but i feel…

they need to be a friend.  that doesn’t mean an enabler. 

fine line. a mom can be a friend, and also have boundaries.

can we not. my mom used that line my entire childhood. i grew up to deeply resent her for it. when i couldn’t confide in her on ANY womanly advice my ENTIRE TEENAGE HOOD ON UP because she was ‘my mother, not my friend!’ shit hit the fan, and i blew up on her, called her out on it, made it clear I NEEDED motherly…

some of the wealthiest people in the world are some of the most conscientious and proactive and productive. see bill gates. and see a lot of top % of investors who are always looking to invest in great talent and change the world. wealth can enable great advancement in society, and significant philanthropic effort,…

haha that’s so crazy. yeah she made up a fake family finance manager, for one thing. over in germany.

THANK YOU! i once had an ex boyfriend complain about lana del rey’s song about taking a man’s money, power, and glory. dude. she is all about social commentary. when people miss that, it’s super frustrating. verdi - star for this.
