YSK that if you have children, or even just someone who really loves you, you shouldn’t avoid being in pictures. My mom was the type of person who HATED pictures. She thought she was ugly so she avoided them like the plague. Most memories I have involve her behind the camera, not in front of it. She passed away unexpectedly 5 years ago, yesterday was the anniversary, and when she died my siblings and I combed through family photos, online pictures, anything we could think of to find some way to see our mom again. There are only 3, two of which are a side view and the other is blurry. I keep her driver’s license because it’s the only head-on, smiling picture I have to remember her by. Please don’t avoid taking pictures if you have children. Because I promise you we do not see ugly, we do not see fat, we do not see flaws...we see our parents, our mommy, the person we love so much and will miss so much when you pass. Let us have a way to look at you again even after you’re gone.

In America, a bottle of frozen water is ok to take on a plane. It has to be fully frozen with no unfrozen liquid. Just did it on five flights last year.

When me and a buddy went to see a movie, we stopped for gas on the way. It started to rain fairly heavy, and some goofy hippy girl that worked at the gas station, ran out and started dancing in the rain. It was a hot day and the rain was welcomed, but this goofy broad is laughing and dancing around when she is supposed to be working. Many years later, my girlfriend who I had lived with for 4 to 5 years, told me how she loves the rain so much, that she used to dance in the rain, even at work at a gas station. Yep, I was living with goofy hippy chick for years and never knew. Still together.

There was a guy in my highschool English class named Martin. I haven't had a single conversation with him throughout the entirety of my life. I just noticed from a distance that he kept his head down, despite the gang and poverty oriented culture that we grew up in, he tried his best to do well academically. He seemed to always have mediocre scores and did not seem very eloquent when I overheard conversations from afar, but there was a charming earnestness in his attempt to make a better life for himself despite clearly struggling every step of the way. I became friends with him on facebook through mutual friends and will occasionally see his posts on my feed, and I recognize I may be writing a story of his life through my perspective, but everything he posts seems to line-up with my perception of him so far. I'm a straight male, and there is no explicit romanticism about these memories. I suppose it's difficult to describe and I recognize that I'm invested in a stranger because it helps me hold onto hope for myself and care for others better. I recognize that there are probably differing political beliefs, and/or values, but I feel my perception of him embodies the idea of caring for our fellow man. Through that perception the tone of "everyone is going through their own s**t at their own pace" really comes through. I just wanted to add that high school was over 10 years ago for me and I still think of this from time to time. In that way, everyone is a Martin to somebody. Whether or not you feel valued, someone out there respects your grind and is rooting for you, just hang in there. We're all in this rat race together. Edit: Reddit gold, thanks kind strangers. I am glad I was able to share this, as it doesn't exactly come up in conversation.

Sorry. Wasn't very clear. It was a Secret Santa gift between team members at work.

I received one as a company Christmas gift. I was not amused and did not really know what it was. After some research, years later, it is still in my bathroom. My husband states that it really helps him.

Can't say I enjoyed the movies but I don't get why they receive so much hate. It was ok. The books were good and for a time I was obsessed in school. They were well written and the characters were good as well, I especially loved Jacob. Seriously Twilight gets too much hate.

Yellowstone. Yellowstone is like being on an entirely different planet at times, with a ridiculous amount of flora and fauna that either want to eat you or build a nest in your car- not to mention the eldritch geysers and springs. It's absolutely essential viewing and God bless Teddy Roosevelt.

I tried for years to convince my adult brother (37) to follow these rules. They are not even "rules", it's about common sense and care for personal hygiene. He just doesn't care, not even after the pandemic. So I've recently decided it's best to get some distance.
