You’re not a bad person for wasting food because you forgot to eat it or left it out or didn’t have the time/energy/executive function to prepare it or didn’t have an appetite or whatever. Unlearn the guilt your parents taught you.
Yes if it’s an option offer your unused food to someone else who can benefit from it, but you’re not responsible for the whole world and forcing yourself to eat something won’t save someone else from hunger.
People are adding to this post with tips on how to not waste food, and while I appreciate the good intentions you are all missing the point. The point isn’t to get better at saving food, it’s to let go of food-related guilt and realize that you’re not personally responsible for using every bit of food. The world isn’t in a crisis because you didn’t eat your leftovers.

I feel like people have this misconception that friends always agree with you. This is incorrect; A true friend will disagree with you, and even call you out on your bullshit, and still be your friend.
It’s true.
I definitely make a point of reminding them that I love them after, but absolutely will call them out (privately) and I appreciate the same. Usually ‘hey, so that wasn’t okay. You were wrong. I still love you though.’
Sometimes depending what it is, I check in more out of concern for sudden behavioural changes.

Hot take: I don’t care if someone “contributes to society” or not. They are a person and still deserve human rights, food, and shelter.

Thank god soulmates (one person destined for you that you will never be happy without) aren’t real but soulmates (people you understand and connect with on a special level, multiple, some of which you havent met yet) are real

Choose someone who’s emotionally mature enough to say, ‘Let’s fix this,’ not someone who disappears when things get hard.

i like the phrases “it’s not for me,” “it’s not my thing,” and “i’m not the target audience” because they’re the most concise way to express “this thing that you enjoy has merits but idgaf about it” without being aggressive

My number one relationship tip is use two blankets. You get the blanket that best suits you and they get the blanket that best suits them, and theres nothing stopping you from coming under their blanket too to cuddle if yall want.
I think this philosophy applies to more than just bedding too.
I actually swear by this.
My husband and I have never shared a blanket. He runs hotter than I do usually, and also it’s just uncomfortable.
We’ve never had to fight over blanket, or accidentally pull it off each other while we slept.
And it is so beautiful and wonderful. We each have our own weighted blanket, our own heating blanket, and our own regular blankets and we can decide which is best for ourselves each night.

I wanted to give a couple more suggestions of fantasy books that aren't spicy since I don't really enjoy reading that either
the Emily Wilde series by Heather Fawcett is lovely. follows an expert on faeries on an academic trip who is then joined by her colleague/friend who is totally chaotic and not bothered about academic rigour and is keeping something secret from her. there are 3 books in the series written in journal format. there is brief and mild spice in book 2 it's not very detailed or anything
The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst. is about a librarian who flees the city during a violent coup to go back to her hometown. she takes several books with her to save them from the fires and wants to use them to help the town but this could get her in trouble so she sets up a jam shop as a front. it's very sweet. her best friend is a sentient spider plant
the Regency Faerie Tales series by Olivia Atwater. again there's 3 of these but not sure if more to come. I've only read 2. the first one is my favourite it's about a woman who had half her soul taken by a faerie so she can't feel emotions very strongly. she goes to London with her cousin to help her find a husband and she meets the kings magician who is very surly but also has a very strong moral compass. the second is about a maid who unknowingly tells a faerie her name and her desire to marry a well-to-do man she's fallen in love with, and his misguided attempts to help her
Sorcery and Small Magics by Maiga Doocy is the first in a trilogy (the other two haven't been released yet) about a guy who is studying to be a scriver (someone who writes spells) who accidentally gets a spell on him that forces him to obey his rival's every command and to stay near him. they both set off to find a way to break the curse. there was no spice here but I could see there maybe being something in a future book
Thank you!
I have not heard of most of them but I have to excitedly share that I got to meet Heather Fawcett and get my books signed by her at a book signing and get a picture with her. (She is so nice.)
I was so stoked because I didn’t realize she lived on Vancouver Island so I was so excited for the opportunity.
I’ll check out the other ones! I’m such a fan of sentient things like plants, houses, or anything so the Spellshop sounds like one for me for sure.

Also ayyy late congratulations on getting married (lmao gay)
Thank you!
Not super relevant to your ask but the ‘gay’ part makes me think about how my ex girlfriend was my maid of honour and I was at hers and it felt like such gay culture to me 😂

Does stormlight follow on from the mistborn stuff? I keep meaning to get into brando sando
They’re technically in the same ‘universe’ but I haven’t really noticed the connections honestly.
I think (I don’t know a whole lot about the cosmere), they’re considered to be on separate worlds. And there’s a character that shows up in multiple series/books in the cosmere. I didn’t notice because his name changes but other people have really analyzed it and figured it out 😂 I put in research to look up a Cosmere reading order and I haven’t noticed a single thing about why the order is the order lol.
I read Mistborn first. The original trilogy and loved it. But then I ended up liking the Stormlight Archives better. Different vibes. I love them both though!
internationalmelons:
Trying to speed run the Stormlight Archives so that I can engage with the community without being spoiled. It’s like trying to watch a movie trilogy but every movie is 69 hours long with 15 bazillion things I have to pause and google.
Ooh this is the first time I’ve seen a Stormlight Archive mention on my dash.
I’m on book four!
