It is a beautiful country. I would say "Be the change you want to see in the world" but unfortunately with a two-party system, it's very hard to change anything. There is just such an "Us vs Them" mindset; it's like watching toddlers bicker.

You love cats? Nothing crazy about that: help NOT required!

I think it's a serious lack of education if you eat with your mouth open. Ew.

okay but what she's describing is misophonia, which is much more than just being annoyed with someone for chewing with their mouth open

AMEN! I HATE IT SO MUCH!

I so agree. I once went on a date with a sloppy and noisy eater. I left him at the restaurant (thought I did soften the blow by paying the bill before I left). How do you tell someone that you are disgusted by the way they eat.

Lunchbreak for me at my workplace is a real trial, I've learnt to take my break when the messy eaters aren't around

If you're getting angry to such an extent when someone eats with their mouth open, maybe you're more sensitive to certain sounds than the average person. Also, some foodstuffs make noise when you eat them, mouth closed or open.

Your nose ring gives me the ick.

Those people who step off an escalator and just stop there looking around or still talking, with all people behind them piling up to get off too.

This is sweet. I hope my kids have this kind of relationship when they're grown. I have only brothers, but we're all close, even if we all live on different continents

My mom was the strongest, and yet most fragile person, but still held it together and was always there for me when I needed her, until she lost her battle with breast cancer 20 years ago. I am what you might call agnostic pagan. Yet when I am panicking or desperate, I pray to her, because I know her energy is still a part of the universe so ot brings me a small measure of comfort.

You don't NEED to shave, girls. The perfect body doesn't exist.

If people are late, go ahead with whatever you were planning to do, with or without them. Never accomodate this behaviour, because this behaviour is controlling you. It's your time they're wasting.

Same, I love my bed, I love napping and reading in my bed then sleeping in my bed. I am a cat in human body I'm sure of it.

correct

That's awesome, well done. You just explained my life goals.

This guy could be a best friend with my retail-working mom.

OMG THIS IS ME FR

Yep, my dad was my first heartbreak. The day I head him telling my mum I was too fat and would never find a husband if didn't get off my fat a*s, was the day our relationship broke. I then later found out he was a convicted sex offender when I tried to foster (with the husband, I'd never find because I was too fat). We went NC after I'd heard him tell 5 different stories about how he got the conviction and found out the truth from the Social Worker who was working with us.

Personally, I cannot nap. Take me forever to doze off and then when I wake, I'm not refreshed, I'm trapped in another dimension.

Tell that to my son who would rather starve than eat something he doesn't like. It's even a battle to get him to try new foods.

DND is the closest thing to feeling like you have no phone. All the dings, pings, and buzzes don't make me flinch anymore 'cause I know it can't be my phone lol. I do love it.

I thought chemistry class was going to be great, I was so wrong.

Sometimes I find that I end up looking forward to sleeping and dreaming like I'm about to go to watch a movie.

I'm the opposite. I would rather die of dehydration than drink sparkling water. Absolutely nasty stuff.

Sadly from my experience many (not all of course) Asians don't respect the native flora and fauna. They quite often push in line and also hog/block attractions preventing others having a look.

It's Whittaker's chocolate for me 😋

Fluffy yogurt? Is that a thing?

People who give me living plants are even better!

I'm a bit on the fence about gossip. It's a way to bond with your co-workers, but it can also be the cause of toxicity in the workplace, so it's not without its dangers.

This is me with my 3 sisters. Best friends forever.

Never understood the issue with them. The not really anymore scary or cute than any insect.
