being a bitch actually saves you a lot of time

No exaggeration but theeeee most critical lesson I learned in my 20s was letting go when it was time. It’s so cliche but it’s so true. I used to hold on so venomously to people, put on a tap dance for their approval, force relationships to last past their expiration date, carry the heavy lifting for reaching out because I didn’t want to feel “passive.” But when someone doesn’t want your effort it’s not about passivity. It’s literally about self respect, not wasting your time, and gravitating only to people who have your best interest in mind and celebrate you. I’ve met so many older people who don’t know how to let go and it truly scares me that this could easily be me. It’s better to develop this skill early than it is to spend an entire lifetime begging for love and belonging.

I’ve been thinking a lot ab this

My brother (17) and his friends like to play a game called “Manhunt” where several boys on foot are “hunted” by two boys in a car, whilst they share their phone locations on a timer. It’s basically a city-wide game of tag. My brother’s behavior made them add the rule that you cannot just sprint off straight into the woods (he’s a bow hunter and outdoorsman and they are city boys).

A small detail about Yagami Hikari and Taichi growing up that I really like in 02 is the way their beds work. In the first series, Hikari and Taichi shared a room and slept in bunk beds.

Hikari was top bunk, Taichi was bottom bunk.

Three years later in 02, they now have their own separate rooms and separate beds.

Hikari has a raised bed with books and shelves in the space beneath. Taichi has what looks like a bunk bed but the "top bunk" is a storage compartment for his things.

Even though they're in separate rooms and separate beds, they both still somehow manage to be the "top bunk" and "bottom bunk" of their respective rooms. They're older and more independent but the habit is still there; They just now put stuff into the physical space where their sibling used to be.

It's such a fascinating detail.
