And then I wonder how people can get past my age STILL believing all of that.

I don’t want to cut her out of my life or anything

neither of us speak any French really

Did I mention I have a huge weakness for Irish men and whiskey???

I’ve lost any and all patience. I’m exhausted dealing with stupid people, stupid co-workers, stupid family members, to the point where I can no longer just grin and bear it like I normally do.

I’d love to send her a little feminist care package

None of that baby’s-breath faff.
