Being alive in this timeline is already a massive battle. Take a moment to congratulate yourself for getting through every day of your life so far. You're doing a great job. Have some water. Stretch. Take a deep breath, hold, release. You are worth it.

Can we all agree that the word "literally" is no longer used correctly in mass media/entertainment? I haven't heard anyone use it correctly in over a year. It's now the equivilent to "almost like" & "nearly the same".
What word can we use now when we really *really* mean to say "literally"? 🤔
