If your partner is neurodivergent and she stops dead in the parking lot to point at the sunset, learn the word glimmer.
Her nervous system is on alert most of the day. A glimmer is a tiny moment that tells it, for a second, that it's safe. She grabs every one she can find.
You think she's slowing you down.
Don't keep walking and say "Come on, babe." Stop. Stand behind her. Look where she's pointing. "Show me."
She's been told to grow up her whole life by people who never stopped to look.

I don’t hate you. I pity you. Imagine spending your entire life convinced everyone else is the problem. Rewriting every story, avoiding every ounce of accountability. Demanding loyalty while giving none. No one could ever punish you more than the life you will spend trying to escape yourself.

Narcissistic people LOVEEEEE calling their victims crazy or trying to diagnose them with something so they can avoid taking accountability for the chaos THEY CAUSED and make the victim feel like they’re the one who constantly needs help. They push you until you react, then point at your reaction and say, “See! You’re the unhinged one.” And just like that, the cycle starts all over again. 🤢

Obsession + pattern recognition + not giving a f*ck + delusional optimism is the highest form of intelligence.

Starting your most incoherent sentence with "put simply" to deflect blame onto the reader

I love that scene in Good Will Hunting where Ben Affleck is talking to Matt Damon's titular character Will Hunting and he's like “you've got a gift man and you've gotta get outta this town and make something of yourself” and the gift in question is being really good at math and the town he needs to get out of is Boston, Massachusetts.

I think far too many parents (99.999% of the time, moms) are obsessed with made up rules. I once had a serious argument with my wife about leaving the fair early. She wanted them in bed by 7:30, and I was very fiercely against it. We left anyway.
