Sometimes I get so focused on my goals that I don't celebrate the milestones along the way. It's going to be several years until I achieve my academic goals, but I can be proud of the perseverance I have made into a habit and the degree and license I have. I feel like I'm finally at a place in life that I can be ok even though I'm uncomfortable because this is new but I'm ready to learn

This afternoon/evening I'll be eating teppan yakki (Korean BBQ), which I have refined by adding a corner just for raclette cheese melting. Am I a genius? I don't know, you tell me. I'm just presenting some facts

Learning to be uncomfortable with challenges while working through it is a great skill to have. I'm finally grateful to have it, even though I don't always appreciate it.

When the staff at your doctors office can't do their job and submit an authorization correctly. Saw my doctor June 22th and they claimed they submitted an authorization to get an MRI done on my back because my doctor thinks I have something wrong with the discs in my back. I was told I'd get a call from the MRI place to schedule an appointment once my authorization was approved and yet no calls. So I called my insurance company today and they haven't received anything and it's been two weeks! So the insurance person I spoke with left a message with the person who handles the authorizations at my doctor's office to get back to me so we can get this straighten out. Now to wait again and see if I even get a call back.

It's tiring to always be the strong one. It would be nice if someone else would stand up and fight too. It is good to know I atleast have silent supporters that appreciate that I have their backs. They're worth it (they call me mom)

People who can't get the hint about certain things, need a lesson in boundaries and respect.
Aka some people in chat who know I'm not interested, but when I ask how they're doing/try to have a friendly conversation, it immediately turns in to "i'm horny lmao." Okay? And? What would you like me to do about it? Putting 'lmfao' after that sentence doesn't change anything. Respect people and the boundaries they put in place, they are there for a reason.

"Unconditional" love - is the epitome of what we call Love. Anything less isn't seen as being "true love" or "real love".
The thing is...it's impossible to receive and give unconditional love at ALL times. Not even the most enlightened people can give unconditional love; our very nature is flawed. Our unresolved and imprinted childhood and adult experiences and traumas make for automatic thoughts, conclusions, behaviors and words that aren't in line with unconditional love.
It's so easy to see fault in a partner's way of loving, of finding it conditional, complaining, resenting, lamenting. Truth is we all love conditionally in some way or another, at some time or another -- we just don't want to see and admit to it. Much easier to be righteous, deflect our imperfection onto someone else and leave our ego intact.
Expecting unconditional love at all times from others is an unfair impossibility for human beings. However...constantly having in mind the goal of loving someone unconditionally gives us the courage to look at ourselves critically and to modify our words and our behaviors in view of honoring that goal. We ought to always strive to be better at loving those we choose to.
For some of us, when we say "I love you", in actuality we mean "I'm loving you as unconditionally as I can". (I say "some of us" because too many wield the coveted phrase "I love you" as a weapon of manipulation, control and coercion into submission.) If we hold ourselves to the highest standard of loving, and realize that neither us nor others will live up to this myth, we'd all be better off.
Tl;dr -- I adopted the cutest baby elephant!

You should have made a separate post about that, it made everything else irrelevant

It's always the right choice to protect children. Things they need protected from: low self-esteem, mental/physical/sexual abuse, exploitation, bullies, manipulation, substance use, and so much more. They need us to show them how to live in such a way that they will grow up to protect themselves. But in the mean time, they need our help even if they don't ask for it. And fuck if we as a society try to diminish what all these things look like or how little things can easily lead to them. It feels so good to do what is right but it's hard af to fight against a culture of generations that just don't get it.
