Jude used to say, when talking about any one of her four ex husbands, that every time she saw them again she was reminded of why she stayed with them in the first place. And then she was reminded of why she left

hi, my name is Katherine, i'm a double Scorpio and i related to this that i am tempted to copy and paste and pretend it is my own.

surprisingly enough, i think Big D has actually, finally, thankfully given up the hope of me ever getting a real job or career or education. he's not ever gon' be as stubborn as me. so yeah, now that i gots me a man, i get a lot of questions about THAT. not that i don't LUUUURRRVVVEEE Jason with all my heart but goddamn it's been 4 months. i'm not thinking about MARRIAGE guys, thanks.

yeah, what she said.

I'm glad you feel me, seestah. I know you've always been in the same boat as far as expectations and societal norm brush offs. I really have no interest in a career. I don't even wanna work. I also have no interest in marriage, or weddings, or wedding dresses.
If I were gonna get hitched, it would be in secret, or if a party was in demand, it sure as hell would have no gowns. Costumes, maybe. But yeah. No marriage. No career. No child. Everyone should learn to deal with it.
And by the way.
I DON'T CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS.

Place is one of the most profound attachments we have, I think.

I really learned to appreciate that from all the Irish writers I met. One said "You don't belong to a place until you have someone in the ground there. And then you never really leave."

that rings pretty true for me, I suppose.
