I know this feeling all too well... Had a bff for like 4ish years and was there for her thru everything. Soon as I broke up with her cousin she turned on me and I couldn't figure out why she hated me. 5 years go by without seeing her and I run into her at the bars last and she picks a str8 up cat fight with me, like she was NASTY mean to me. I was shook but said fuck her and left. This year I find her handwriting in an old notebook saying she's listening to me talk & talk & talk and why won't I SHUT THE F UP & how she hates me so much. Now I know her whole family thought that about me. That fucked me up so hard! The guy I dated after her cousin fucked me up worse tbh. Anytime I would have a conversation with someone (Im friendly so obvi I'm awful) and get into it he would get pissed and walk to the nearest person and say 'storytime'. I stopped talking about myself for a very long time after that. I over think everything I do say because GODS FORBID I have to argue my point or be put down.
That moment when the person you're actively texting is replying fast but with no relevance to what you sent. Cool so should I just go then since you are busy or..?
I've known my friend for seven years.. we moved to the same uni.. ever since we gained independence she's changed... i'm always concerned about her because i dont want her to look cheap to other people when we go for a night out but she doesnt appreciate it.. i got other friends telling me to stop acting like her mother but i cant coz i care.. we live 2 mins away from each other.. in two different accomodations.. shes always around my accomodation to see someone else.. she doesnt say hi anymore
Same thing happened to me with my friend. She acted like I was nothing, like I wasn't there for her for 13 years. It sucked but I left her behind too. I was clingy to my old life and even though I didn't want it to end that way, she chose our path for us. I just accepted it. I'm so sorry if this is late I am not on here often but I will be now.
WHY THE FUCK ARE THE DIRTY DISHES ALWAYS PILED HIGH AS FUCK IN THE SINK?!?!? I LITERALLY HAVE TO TAKE THEM OUT AND RINSE THE NASTY WATER OFF JUST TO WASH THE SINK TO WASH THE DISHES!!!!! LIVID. FUCK MY FIANCE SOMETIMES FOR REAL. YALL CAN HAVE HIM
You wanna know who is long distance worthy? Send a random pets video to everyone on your snapchat. Some are pending some will open and ignore but those who reply are worth it.
Sorry not sorry. My way or the highway. I told you I'm a crazy bitch with lotsa baggage when we started dating so idk why you looking at me all crazy now lololol
How the FUCK are you gonna interrupt MY story about someone I knew from MY past and say they didn't say it how I said they said it simply because you're from the same region that person was attempting to sound like???
Does everyone know that one chick on FB that trolls everyone and is a beautiful cunt online but is so quiet in person you stare at them to figure out if she is real or a hologram?? Or am I the only one cuz I think my fb has like 4.. ugh
tl;dr my country is literally on fire and the politicians refuse to help
I know there’s a lot going on in the world, but you probably haven’t heard about what’s happening in Australia.
we’re on fire.
approximately ¼ of australia’s population is in catastrophic fire danger. A catastrophic fire level means your only chance of surviving is leaving before it’s too late.
it’s Spring in Australia, and rainforests aren’t meant to be dry enough to burn, yet at the time of writing this (11/11/19) there are 71 active fires in NSW (43 out of control), and 51 active fires in Queensland - not including those that have already burned before now, and there are more in other states. Sydney is already rated “catastrophic”, the first time this rating has ever been used there since its creation in 2009. That’s right, we had to add yet another level of destructiveness, because “high”, “very high”, “severe”, and “extreme” were no longer adequate. To quote the Fire Danger Ratings, “for your survival, leaving early is the only option”. conditions tomorrow will be the worst they have been, and people are evacuating as we speak. the fire fighters are preparing as best they can.
This isn’t just about people losing their homes; people have died and will die, countless animals have already lost their lives and many more will still perish. our land, our lives, and our hope is up in flames and will soon be nothing but ash. the annual fire season has not even begun yet. this is only the beginning. my native land is burning, and there is nothing i can do to stop it.
the government refuses to acknowledge that we are in a climate crisis. the fires have never been this bad. we have been in severe drought for more than a year which has only contributed to the force of these fires. the Prime Minister Scott Morrison has done nothing but send his “thoughts and prayers”. He will not accept aid from other countries because he is too egotistical to admit that we need it. All the while the people of this land are suffering. Climate change needs radical human change to be combated. we are already seeing the results of years of indifference, and this is barely the beginning of something that will only get worse the longer government’s and big companies refuse to act to counteract climate change.
Our government has also cut funding to Fire and Rescue NSW by 35.4%, the Rural Fire Service by 75.2%, and QLD Rural Fire Service by 26.42%, resulting in closures of services; they don’t have the resources to cope. We are fighting a losing battle against the results of climate change. and this is only the beginning.
At least 6 million people today are prepared for evacuating. There are strong winds, low humidity, and high temperatures which will only exacerbate and encourage the fires. Authorities have warned that there aren’t enough fire trucks to help everyone, so unless you are prepared to the maximum, you need to leave. 600 schools and TAFE’s across NSW have been closed due to the fires, with others in Queensland closing due to air quality being virtually unbreathable due to smoke. Rural Fire Service Deputy Commisioner Rob Rogers said the state was as prepared as it could be, with military aircraft on standby to rescue people from fires if needed.
As Queensland and New South Wales deal with these unprecedented bushfires, there is a lot of talk about how to stop, or at least reduce them. David Bowman is a professor of environmental change biology at the University of Tasmania and he says the short answer is that climate change is making a bad situation worse.
But it’s also much more complex than that. Much of Australia’s natural biodiversity has evolved to withstand and even stop bushfires due to a multitude of species being in one area. Eucalyptus trees encourage fires as they help spread seeds, but other species are naturally flame retardant and help to curb the fires. The issue is that so much of the native bush has been cut down for farming and agriculture that the natural fire defence has virtually been destroyed. Australia is the leading country in mammal extinction, as well as one of the worst 7 for biodiversity loss.
There have already been significant harmful impacts to wildlife, with entire ecosystems up in smoke and individual species affected, including around 350 Koalas presumed dead – all before the fires have reached their peak.
my heart goes out to the victims of the current fires, which we know have been exacerbated by the decline of native biodiversity. Australian conservation efforts need a radical overhaul. Mitigating the intensity of these fires, mostly set by humans and their activities, can be achieved by restoring our native ecosystem engineers, such as bandicoots, bettongs and potoroos.
These species help to maintain healthy forests by continually turning over and breaking down forest leaf litter, thereby drastically reducing fuel load. In their absence, fires are more intense, often reaching the treetops, which can affect populations of species already on the brink, like the Koala.
Slow growing and ancient Australian East coast temperate forests are of global significance, as these forests have some of the highest carbon storage on the planet. Fires of this intensity threaten their very existence but managing wildlife to reduce fire intensity and protect forests is under-appreciated for its importance in reducing the release of carbon into the atmosphere.

Support your local brigade - NSW Rural Fire Service
Or you can donate to the Red Cross who have set up many shelters and are providing first aid, and are trying to fund small kits to provide families with basic necessities
Where there's disaster, an emergency, conflict or crisis, your support means Red Cross will be there.
