Re: Doing the smart things and getting advice on the internet.......
Been estranged from one side of my family for 20 years. Reconnected to one of them a few years ago for a while and then noped back out. Already gotta deal with my own crazy, ain't got time for anyone eles.
Its your life, you don't ever have to put up with them. Love/family does not = dealing with their bullshit.
I remember people telling me when I was young that I would become more tolerant and patient with age. I am assuming at this point they mean when I'm dead because any tolerance/patience I once had is gone and I've been possessed by a honey badger, with how much fucks I have left to give and that extends to everyone, including family.
In this world is the destiny of mankind controlled by some transcendental entity or law? Is it like the hand of god hovering from above? Perhaps men have no control even over their own will.
You're right, we are mortal and fragile. But even if we are tortured or wounded, we'll fight to survive. You should feel the pain we feel and understand. I am the messenger that will deliver you to that pain and understanding.
