tfw you’re basically your parents’ personal therapist. Like, 

pro: people around you keep going “wow you’re such a good listener/ wow you’re so mature!”, you’ve got the scoop for all the family drama, plus a good chunk of your childhood makes so much more sense

con: and here I used to wonder where the anxiety came from.

This Is So Not What I Had Planned [a non-comprehensive list/rant]:

Which is sketcher, walking alone at night in a badly-lit but mostly quiet and residential neighborhood you don’t know, or,

walking alone at night downtown in a place you only vaguely know that’s a tourist trap in the day but has quite a few people smoking at night

bonus: phone was very nearly dead in all of this

just to get back from an event that required over two hours of transit, single-way

...suffice it is to say, this weekend did not go as planned and I can now safely cross that off my bucket list. [If I had one.] 

Also, Google Maps is a lifesaver and I’ll fight anyone who says otherwise. [Only being slightly metaphorical, too: getting back to Seattle from Tacoma after dark would’ve had me even more antsy than I already was without it.]
