Nothing that starts with the word “Ugh” - or even - “Really?” How about “I love it too” - because - don’t you?

Sometimes I don’t even have to get up. I just open my mouth and Mom pops one in. There are lots of good humans like Mom. They don’t worry about deciding who’s deserving. They just do nice things.12 Sep 2026 13:30 +0000at://did:plc:wunwdv333exjhtve7ggw2ewe/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvd6uochns24https://bsky.app/profile/notquiteold.bsky.social/post/3mvc2crw77k26Introvert: When you are with your book club, and the discussion is wonderful, and you watch the clock to see how soon it will be over.

But other times you should think about letting a friend join you.

And it’s sad but true that the world will not wait for you to catch up. Everything moves too fast. But there is a solution. Don’t try to catch up. Just start from where you are. And where you are is fine.10 Sep 2026 13:02 +0000at://did:plc:wunwdv333exjhtve7ggw2ewe/app.bsky.feed.post/3mv64f5e36k2thttps://bsky.app/profile/notquiteold.bsky.social/post/3mv3n53rfnk2nOnce in a while someone needs a favor that you don’t really want to give because that person wasn’t there for you when you needed help.
