Hug your babies tight. Take it from an ambulance dispatcher, life is fragile and your loved ones are to be appreciated. ❤️‍🩹

I can’t tonight. My brain is done and while I’m sure there are very important things being said, I’m barely comprehending words. Brain work is exhausting. Be kind to yourselves and get good sleep.

No cheating. The last saved celebrity pic on your phone is your therapist. Jihyo?! I’d be too nervous to talk, I’d faint! 😅💕

Missing someone and knowing that while they’re still here, they’ll never be the person I knew and loved again. They have changed so fundamentally that they may as well be a stranger. And because they’re an ex and I’m happily married, bringing them up would make me seem ungrateful.

My twin brother often appears as a cameo because I think it’s funny. Also, Owen is a gay trans man who is successful (in high school in one book and at work in another), hangs out with his friends, and enjoys a good life, because that’s the trans rep I want to see.

Crap. Where is that contact? Why does this only happen on days I’m running late?
