A first date was already not going well, and I said I needed to go. He decided that wasn’t happening. Ended up having to run away from him, literally, through a park area while wearing heels to reach my car. It was daytime and many people saw what was happening, but no one did a thing to help. But I’m sure if it hadn’t been daytime, he wouldn’t have “let me” get away after catching me. There were just too many eyes on him.

I wore comfortable shoes I can run in to all first dates after that.

What is a Sambo?

Canada doesn’t accept just anyone for no reason.

I was thirteen years old when I went to the doctor by myself because a cut on my eyelid wasn’t healing. I was asked about my birth control, sexual activity, and whether I thought I could be pregnant (after saying I’ve never had sex) then pushed out of the examination room after NOT having my eye examined at all.

As an adult, I realize now how terrible that was and I would have done something about it if it had happened to me today. But at the time I was so embarrassed and hurt, I just pushed all thought of it away until years later.

Breakfast on a pear?

It’s happened in education and the inverse happened in computing.

Journey is one of my favorite games of all time purely because of how it made me feel. It was so hopeful and positive. And it made me feel connected to a complete stranger. I’m still impressed at how the communication is limited in a way that makes people bring out only the best in themselves. It’s beautiful.

I was an only child and I just wanted someone cool to play with me who I could look up to. Also all my older cousins picked on me and I wanted defence lol

I wanted an older sibling as a child and I remember trying to convince my parents they should have another baby. In my mind, if I just waited (my age +1) years, I’d then have an older sibling. It never ocurred to me that I would also age during that time…

2.1 is maintenance level. Each child has 2 parents, and the .1 accounts for infant deaths, etc.

Hard cheeses, yes. Soft cheeses, no.

The next generation. They seem to be standing up for themselves more, they’re speaking up about their issues, they’re refusing to just roll over and be obedient little wage slaves. Millenials like me might be beyond hope, but the next generation gives me hope.
