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.

caring about stuff and being passionate about it is not and should not be seen as embarrassing. it’s heckin’ great. good for you, out there loving something.

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

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.

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!

Reblog if you think public libraries are important and should be maintained.

what they don't tell you about making friends is you gotta be a lil annoying. you gotta push past the fear of "what if they don't want to talk to me" and simply ask someone how their day is going, send a meme. you cannot connect to people if you're both just awkwardly waiting for the other to start.
