I have a friend who lives in Sydney. She's not really someone I talk about feelings to, but rather hobbies, and I would consider her to be one of my best friends.
A couple of months ago, I asked her how she found a particular artist we were talking about. She has a very diverse music taste and is constantly playing music. Ever since then, she sends me a song everyday, ranging from musicals, live performances and random stuff she's picked up. I've never been exposed to such a variety of music. It's a really special thing.
I wish there was some way I could repay her for thinking of me. I am so grateful to have a friend like her. I'm in awe.
Romantic love is cool and all, but platonic love is the shit. If I never experience romantic love again, I think I'll be fine. Apparently single, unmarried women are happier anyway π₯Ήπ€ͺ
Single women live longer, are healthier and a lot wealthier than most married women. Married blokes live longer, are healthier and a lot wealthier than single blokes. As a species, we are doomed.
we compromise by men dying younger
iow, the women are widows π
Can't win them all :(
π It's cruel
not really we just gotta stop isolating and infantilising our men
That's so fucked πππ
