  • I have two 15 year old sisters and they are both magical.

    One is a sassy, clever girl who craves more human interaction than she will admit. She begs for anything I’m eating like a dog, and has an insatiable curiosity. She is very loving once she knows you, but is extremely wary of strangers.

    Her sister is dumb as a box of rocks and the sweetest cat I’ve ever known. She will only eat cat food or canned tuna. No interest in chicken, beef, dairy, nothing. She adopted my nose as a kitten and still has a fascination with excessively licking it, 15 years later. She is curious only about her next boring ass meal or my current lap location. She is instant friends with any human that walks through the door.

    They both came from the same litter. 😂

    I’ve had a lot of cats and loved them all but these two are special.




















  • I certainly changed my life by just deciding to become a different person. I had an epiphany many years ago when I was reading a short biography of Bob Ross. It described how, once he was out of the military, he decided he was never going to yell or curse at anyone ever again, and was going to lead a peaceful life taking care of animals and making other people happy however he could. He was tired of being angry and wanted peace.

    That was my a-ha moment where I realized, I don’t HAVE to be this pissed off curmudgeon at the ripe old age of 35 just because I have been that in the past. And I consciously decided to change. It didn’t happen overnight, but it did happen, and people who knew me in my 20’s but haven’t seen me since probably wouldn’t recognize my personality now.

    I also have ADHD and agree with what you said, though. When it comes to the things ADHD interferes with, it’s incredibly difficult to just ‘choose to be better’, that’s like a person with chronic fatigue syndrome and a double hip replacement just ‘choosing’ to run a 4 minute mile one week. Being an asshole just isn’t one of those things, and I just decided to be different one day.
