“They are your ___. You should forgive and make up because they are your ___.”

Took a bit of maturing, but I’ve learned you don’t have to forgive people and certainly you don’t have to let them back in your life, even if they are family. Some people just aren’t cut out for their role in your life. Biological or otherwise.

I have two almost adult kids that live at home. They sleep through it because they are use to my routine. The dishwasher/dryer/washing machine running actually helps them fall asleep by drowning out the city noises with their white noise.

Quietly clean the house, bake, prep pieces for sewing, write a little on my book. Basically all of my quiet hobby parts. I save thé noisy bits for 8am.

I still firmly believe one of the worst things to happen to the internet, besides pop-up ads, is up and down votes. Nothing exposes a misanthrope quicker than forcing them to comment instead of passively downvoting everything they see. Which makes it easier to remove them from the party.
