Not just you. That’s all I see.

Your twenties are going to be the most unsettled decade of your life. It takes a while to get to a comfortable place professionally, emotionally, financially, etc. Starting out on your own is hard and its not done overnight. Don’t worry about not having it all figured out by graduation or even a year after graduation.…

It’s weird how some (I hope most) kids can be examples of all that is innocent and good in the world, while others are just.......tiny psychopaths.

They did but I honestly don’t know what that was. She told me about it election night amid all the trauma chaos of the results and I never followed up. I will though.

Oh definitely. The principal was there and pulled them right out. I honestly can’t remember what punishment they got, but they did get in trouble.

Yeah she said two of them were really naive and she doesn’t believe they knew what they were imitating. But three of them definitely did.

Yeah, I probably left out the most important fact: liberal state, but upper middle class white school district.

Trump is emotionally stuck at age 12 so of course kids are going to relate to him. He speaks their language. My friend teaches 7th graders and she talked about how many of her students this past year just openly worship the guy. As a teacher she has to remain politically impartial. The only thing she was able to do…

I don’t think he understands the difference between kids and adults. He probably talks to his grandkids about the great pieces of ass he sees.

Hey I totally I think you’re onto something. They can have badges for angioplasties, badges for treating cancer, badges for hip replacements! This may be the answer to all of our problems.

If she’s sure that she wants to break-up, then why not have everything in order before the break-up talk? She’s not asking his permission or opinion to move out. She’s not going to ask him for help in finding a new place or anything. This is a major life change and preparing for the change ahead of time is just…

I would say you have 20 times two, so you had 40,

Seriously?

It’s online. Searchable. Public.

I think as more time goes by, the more you appreciate them. Reading your teenage diaries in your 20's, for example, cringe worthy and uncomfortable because its still relatively fresh. Reading those diaries as you near 50 though? Totally different experience. You sympathize with the young you a lot more and that does…

Awww. I recently read through my 8th grade diary as well. It was all angst and uncertainty and very painful to read. Crushes on teachers and classmates, problems with friends, bullies, etc. I don’t really understand how I learned anything. All my mental energy was going into these other things.

I wish I knew. I would have sacrificed my dress to you.

Pink sequins. PINK SEQUINS. Plus, because I couldn’t stay away from the gaudy, I painted glitter on my white shoes and purse.

I live in a small place too and I am really regimented about going through and throwing out or donating stuff at least once a month. I don’t even know how I acquire all the crap that somehow finds its way in. I have two small and oddly shaped closets, so its prime real estate in there. If I don’t use it or it isn’t…
