Went to dinner with friends last night—sweetest people who have impressive careers. As they told us about some cool work they’ve done, I said (only half joking) “I feel so unaccomplished!” Our friend immediately countered, “WDYM!? You write whole books! I wish I could do that!”
😊 Was nice to hear.

I've been stung by multiple wasps 4 times in my life, bitten by ants once, bitten by a horsefly once
Today I got stung or bit by something AGAIN; I didn't even see what it was! Probably the angry ghost of one of the wasps
I must have been some horribly cruel exterminator in a past life

The librarian here just told this guy "Life's too short to be reading books you don't like," and I REALLY wish my P4 teacher had have heard that statement when she insisted I continue reading a book from the school library that I didn't enjoy 😭
