I think a lot about who I am to other people in the worldāparticular who I am to strangers as a mere concept in their lives.
Today this woman called our information desk and said,Ā āmy sonās band is playing tonight. I want to come see him, but he never answers his phoneā¦..I want to be there. Have you heard anything about his band?ā
And I felt so bad for this lady but Iām not in the music scene around here so I had to tell her no, sorry.
Five hours later, Iām hiking and run into a group of guys setting up for some outdoor performance, and as I watch them unload the drums it hits me.
āHey,ā I said,Ā āare yāall in a band?ā
They said yeah and smiled and I told themĀ āone of your moms called today. She wants to watch you play, but she canāt get a hold of you. Call your mom.ā
And they all pulled out their phones and started discussing whose mom it probably was as they presumably dialed their own.
And now, unless we meet again and recognize each other, thatās who Iāll be forever to those guysāsome mysterious courier for mom-messages who came out of the woods and told them their mom called.
I didnāt even tell them why their mom called me. Who am I to their mom?? Nobody even asked. They just took my word for it and called their mothers.
Amazing.

iām curious to see how many people use their likes as an organizational tool like i do, or maybe in a way iām never heard of before.
do you have strong feelings about how likes should be used?
reblog for a bigger sample size etc etc

ārelationships are workā means āyou have to put effort into loving each other intentionally & learning how to love each other and communicating properlyā not āyour relationship makes you feel stressed and sad most of the time & the other person disrespects you and treats you bad but you stay anywayā

I am just. So weirdly tickled by this Watcher situation. Like yes, initially I was very disappointed and upset but honestly now I just think it's funny. I can't remember the last time a creator or group of creators misread the room this hard. Like they really thought they were cooking with this one. They had a countdown to this. They announced their paywalled streaming service with their whole chests and expected rapturous applause. Instead, there has been a non-stop chorus of boos and thrown tomatoes for days now. They would have probably gotten a better reaction if they had posted a video where they sprayed a dog in the eyes with soapy water.
It's all so pleasantly... low-stakes. The consequences are nonexistent. It's not like the Ned Fulmer situation, where a friend group is destroyed, real life relationships are ended, and young children are potentially subjected to the trauma of divorce. Nah, all that's happening here is three idiots will be making a lot less money than they wanted. Maybe they'll learn something, maybe they won't. Either way, they brought it entirely upon themselves, and that makes it okay to laugh at in my books. So I will!

Idk if this has been said yet, but Liam tends to write out his āsendingā messages ahead of time to make sure itās exactly 25 words
So the fact that he budgeted in the shaky āfuckā scratches a specific itch in my brain
