caught myself wishing tonight that there were some kind of facility you could check yourself into as an adult where you can like go about your day as you please but there are people who will wake you up & make you breakfast & lunch & dinner, & healthy snacks throughout the day. & they'll drive you wherever you need to go, & bring you home, & run you a bath & light candles for you & make you a herbal tea at bedtime. they'll handle all your life admin, & they'll make you do yoga & read a book before bed, & ask you about your day & encourage & praise you. & you could have a session with them about your hopes & ambitions & they'd help you plan how to achieve them. & then i realised i was basically just fantasising about being parented.
