you want my hot take for the evening? people who dont like complainers just havent been exposed to good complaining, and will never know if they themselves have an inborn talent for the art of kvetching
good complaining is some combination of a) funny, b) animated and theatrical, c) insightful re: human foibles, d) inquiry into social trends and norms.it must ALWAYS involve at least a small degree of self awareness, and is often used to build camaraderie and maintain relationships.
my attention span as a 10 year old: *reads the Lord of the Rings trilogy in like two sittings*
my attention span now: *checks internet every 10 minutes during important task, opens new tab of same site I’m already browsing and got tired of*
i brought a lot of notes for my fics when my mom asked me to stay at her place for a few days, and i’m leaving tmrrw and haven’t even glanced at them, all the world/scene-building has been in my head…
like on one hand, i get why i was hopeful because i thought i’d have more alone time (she had plans for tonight with friends that got cancelled today) and on the other hand…i feel like at a certain point i should stop kidding myself 😔
