And they said the perfect job didn't exist

From my point of view: Absolutely accurate!

Current population of Flat Earth believers in the USA NOW in 2024, about 6 MILLION people.

I liked him when I was a child but didn't begin to understand what an incredibly admirable human being, gift to the world, and specific gift to my own childhood he was until I understood how rare and delightful his effortless compassion was. That's how he good he was, as a child I thought he was indicative of the greater world, he shaped my worldview for the better. What a beautiful human being and an example to all.

Someone had to say this.

Excellent choice of life goals.

Or a mostly-hairless cat, depending on how you use it

Maybe her secret is that she stays clean, doesn't let her skin dry out, doesn't smoke and eats decent food and so can anyone else?

Bring in #1 BOSS mug with a bow on it.

I use a pain relief gel called Phorpain. I'm not asking what they call their skincare cream!

Winter is the best season 🥰

Husband is a 41 year old police officer and the other day I found his childhood bear in the bed. When I asked about it he said, ‘I just felt a bit lonely and wanted to hang out with Big Ted’ It was adorable.

I really hope she saw that post...

Seltzer water is the true grown up drink. My kids don't like that but they do water.

Just the typical workplace know-it-all whom everybody finds annoying but tolerates because he is harmless and actually good at his job...

🤣🤣 no truer words have been spoken

At least some people had fun with COVID lockdowns.

Please don’t rain on my Black Parade?

This! There was no such program in my school but I was conditioned to be that always straight As student (by parents and teachers simply cause I did well at school). And I was! Never failed! But what did I develop? Perfectionism. It’s not a great thing as it sounds. I can’t do something half way. I have to be the best at what I do and will kill myself until I achieve that extreme target. And I don’t know what failure is (in the big picture) so I can’t even fathom what it is or can’t bear to think of a plan B. Oh and everyone’s expectations for me are out of this world. I’m so burned out now but unconsciously am still trying to achieve the best. It’s a never ending mentality. I hate it.

Gifted & talented in the 70's for the win. My OCD & Anxiety is alive & thriving. Can't even craft because I can't sit that long & I am over critical of anything I make

My daughter is 11 and in GT right now and showing early signs of all of this. Just yesterday I told her that if it stops being fun (all the English homework is killing her joy of reading) that we can pull her out at the end of any term. Education is great, but I refuse to let the method of instruction destroy the joy of learning.

Have we met? Because it sounds like we've met...

My disorders are all thriving; thanks for asking!

How tf did they get a mirror in my phone?

I feel attacked. :) I'm the oldest daughter and was in GT programs (English and Spanish) in the 90's. Who the hell has been watching me???

i thought i could melt into the background until they gave out the bonus points for being the eldest daughter.

I was in the gifted program in the 60s. Doing fine!

the only part of this that isn't me is the "daughter" part. I was the oldest son. Everything else hits the mark!

legit me but i was born in late 2000s

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THAT'S MEEEEEEEEEEEE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

*completely openmouthed because you just described me*

In my third long term abusive relationship and too frozen to do anything about it...

Just reading this meme until I got smacked in the face with the oldest daughter part. Whoa!

Why you callin me out like this???

*twitch* going? *twitch twitch* It's still here...

I'm chugging along. My toxic tendency is that I hate to be wrong about anything, but other than that I'm unscathed

Oh wow. That hit home! (Class.of '99)

Holy c**p!!! I REALLY feel seen

GATE program sucked and it was just a bunch of busy work.

My wife, except she's the youngest, most disappointing daughter in her parents' eyes so she tries to do even more.

Oh, that stings. The 80s for me and not the eldest but the youngest in a troubled home, aka ‘the one who wont give trouble and will make everything better’.

That hit too close to home.

Best driving roads in the world as well

I never understood eating contests anyway. It´s absolutely disgusting to look at.

I'm more of a limoncello auntie

Where the deuce is bugs bunny?! My horses would love those if he doesn't get em

Take the kid then

I have a capacious lexicon of sesquipedalian verbiage in my phucking cranial cavity.

And get an older repeat of take your kids to work day's, "Daddy, where are all the clowns?" I don't think so.

Better yet: Throw the last pitch with Danny DeVito as the ball. As he had once bragged that he coud even play a pork cutlet if necessary, he should have no problems with that part...
