I have got a laundry list of quotes made by me. Let me put up some:
You have to dream even before you start doing something
Overbearing parenting is child abuse
Do you want a lovely, smart, well-achieved, conversationally witty wife or not? If yes, first of all, go work on yourself
The world's not a fair place. So what are you going to do about it?
Everything is learnable
Not writing "Mr.", "Mrs.", or "Ms." in documents. Waste of ink, typing time, and reading time.
"what do you want from the store?" "I'm in the mood for chocolate, I'll take some M&"
I see your blackwings and I raise you my mechanical contestant - the uniball kuru toga. The rotating lead gimmick actually works pretty well and the elite has just such a nice weight to it because the barrel is this nice knurled metal thing (I think the advance upgrade is also metal, but I don't have that one to compare)
Speaking of uniball, while I'm normally a fountain pen adherent, my go to non-fountain pen is the uniball eye. Such a surprisingly nice pen for the price, and while it's not exactly the same, because it's a liquid ink roller ball it's still much nicer to write with because you don't have to apply pressure to make it write.
Tyler's Glamorous Wash. I used to buy the cheapest detergent I could find, and laundry was just a means to an end. Now I look forward to laundry because it freshens up my whole home for a week.
The power of greyskull
If someone can't explain how something works, they either don't know how it works out don't want you to know how it works.
Things can be complicated and have nuance, but there should be a general basic theory.
The thing is, sometimes you just can't find the right words to explain it in a simple way. It happens to me all the time.
As far a clothing goes, FIGS Supersoft underscrubs. Having worn plain black T-shirts my whole life and working in healthcare itβs nice being able to wear clothes that make me feel comfortable and kind of not at work, if that makes any sense. Really soft and donβt seem to lose colour! New Balance 574 have always served me well!
Underwater Hockey. Actually an amazing sport and I am so glad I found it.
Indo me migoreng noodles blue pack on peanut butter toast. It's so good and easy to eat.
On a light note, I'm a slut for Bethesda, atleast I skipped Fallout 76 but I'm gonna preorder Starfield. I was 11 when Skyrim came out and it's very near and dear to me and I love some aspects of Fallout 4. ESO was also not bad and I play Elder Scrolls Legends. I'm seeing this through to the end bois βοΈ.
On a serious note, I swear by never drinking alone or without someone I trust as much as my partner. Nothing bad happened to me but I have several negative experiences with drinking in my family. And technically my dad died riding a motorcycle drunk, but I don't think being sober would have saved him from that specific incident.
I just never ever want to be anything close to an alcoholic. I feel like I would get addicted if it was more convenient and didn't taste bad. Fear of addiction is also why I'm wary of gambling.
Etnies shoes. I will die with a pair of them on my feet. They're the only ones that are comfortable, wear out in more than a few months, look generic enough to pair them with most of my clothes and are reasonably priced.
