When you’re college ex messages you about meeting up and grabbing a beer to congratulate you on getting married… Homie you cheated on me twice. The celebration was when I met the man you never were.

Brutally accurate.

Don’t call after me.
You weren’t there for me when Dad died.
You made up stories about “your best friend” to make yourself feel better.
You don’t get to see me even in Walmart the day before my wedding.

I’m sitting at my desk working on new lifeguard training for next year and now it’s setting in how quiet my office is without the kids. No one screaming, no one telling me the latest drama, nothing. Normal people would enjoy the quiet. But I miss my staff.
Don’t tell them…

It’s 2am. I’m waiting for my friend on a greyhound. A man who is homeless asks me for spare change and a jacket. I give him the 86 cents I have and my fleece little mermaid blanket. Because that’s what a basic kindness should be. I hope he finds peace and warmth.

Absolutely refuses to let me move. 💖

I’m I perfect no.
But am I a nerd?
Yes. Yes I am.
