This is a great reminder about perspective for so many things.

Some people who are married and/or have children can’t imagine how unmarried and/or people without children could possibly have chosen that lifestyle and be happy or content. And vice versa, of course.

I’m sure there are plenty of other examples. Your point about extroverted coworkers hit close to home since that recently happened to me.

Also, I know this isn’t an advent calendar but I wanted to spread the love. I’ve actually never heard of an NSFW advent calendar and the FOMO is real.

Baby, I read it for the articles comments, I swear!

I’ve heard that phrase my whole life and only looked it up now because of your comment. For anyone else that’s curious:

“Let them eat cake” is the traditional translation of the French phrase “Qu’ils mangent de la brioche”,[1] said to have been spoken in the 18th century by “a great princess” upon being told that the peasants had no bread.

…

The quote is taken to reflect either the princess’s frivolous disregard for the starving peasants or her poor understanding of their plight.

Same. Everything feels unreal right now and it’s hard to keep the mask on.

My mouth is watering. I just brushed my teeth. I must resist!

I was wondering the same thing. This sounds more like plagiarism.

Yeah, I’d have a beer/sherry with this g~ma any day.

That’s probably good advice for a lot of things

I hate the holidays.

The worst part is people asking me what I’m doing for the holidays. The last few years I’ve replied with, “avoiding family”, and most people laughed.

😂

Totally. Ruthless, and indiscriminate.

I try to remind myself that change is inescapable. For better or worse, things will always change. It might not be better, but at least it will be different, which gives me a sick glimmer of hope.

Can someone send this to my boss?

Depression can happen at any age, if that’s what you mean
