That's definitely understandable, but I think this has more to do with a criticism on the overall perception surrounding romanticizing/sexualizing otherwise non-sexual affection. You and I live during a time where these types of gestures are seen that way, so it would naturally be uncomfortable to express that kind of affection with someone you're not romantically/sexually interested in (though I'm definitely a man-hugger with everyone who's comfortable with it).
I remember overhearing a conversation between my mom and an aunt, back when I was 14. They were discussing the age difference between me and my “boyfriend” who was 18. My mom said it was right on that line where she wasn’t sure she was entirely comfortable, as 18 makes him technically an adult, even if mentally and emotionally he wasn’t, not really. But that it sounds much better than 13 and 17. And she mentioned how nobody would bat an eye if we were both adults, as that age gap is nothing, then. Those words have always stuck with me, they are very relevant.
Kyle and I have a friend who is about to have a baby. For their Thanksgiving photos, they wore shirts that said "I put a little turkey in the oven"... Gross.
I miss having the big family gatherings for sure, but at the same time, it was kind of nice to have just a small dinner with my husband and his parents. It's chaos at both of our family's big gatherings, and they leave you exhausted, so something small was what we needed.
Most of my 'friends' only contact me when they want/need something, so I'm at the point where I don't really care to be social at all. Do I miss it sometimes? Yeah, but at the same time, I don't want to feel like I'm only wanted if I'm useful.
In reply to your comment, I dont expect the MAYBE 20 active memeber to do anything for me. If you must know, I have been blogging here since TWO THOUSAND AND THREE. YES I SAID THAT. So. Kinda put whatever I need to here, its my thinking and stomping ground lol. I put things here before they get published in my soon to be book, therefore! Long story short to answer your question......The answer is absolutely nothing.
Sounds like she’s having a nervous breakdown. The recent US/UK governments have definitely given rise to a “I can say what I want without defending it with facts or discussion” mentality. Nightmares! Might be for the best that she’s blocked you.
This makes me sad. I've had to unfollow/unfriend/block so many people over the last year, and it's just shitty. Especially with people I thought were cool people, and have exposed their crappy views. This really sucks, Chris, I'm sorry.
Hes got uncontrolled type 1 diabetes as well as some damage to his body from onset. Endocrinologists also tell us most deaths they see with T1D is from when they get sick with a cold, stomach bug, or the flu. Idk im not a doctor and they lead the country is diabetic research so im trusting them. Diabetics account for more than half of the deaths in our country and they are being really straight with me. They also told me they didn't know if he would survive his coma and he did. I have faith in his strength but im also gonna be doing everything I can to protect him
