        It doesn’t have to be a teenager in a truck, not too long ago I was nearly ran over by a texting old woman in a VW Golf lol.

        I was already half way across the zebra crossing, heard the ABS doing its thing, I stopped, the car came to a halt right in front of me. If I had been 1 step further along, I would have been on the bonnet/roof of the car. I looked into the car and the woman was holding her phone, Whatsapp chat was shining with the power of 3 suns. She then started to accelerate, I kicked a dent into her rear bumper.

    Anything happining to my kids. Like, I’ve always been afraid of things. Heights, small spaces, diseases, global catastrophies, etc, but having kids flipped those fears around from “What would happen to me?” to “What would happen to them?” Even the things that could happen to me, like what if I fell from a height is now “What if my kids lost their dad because I fell from a height?”

    And the worst part is I know bad things will happen to them in their lives. It’s not a matter of If I die, it’s when. They are going to have that experience some day, and the best I can do to prepare them for it is delay it as long as possible while raising them to be emotionally secure and rational adults.

    Western supremacy and bloodthirst. Any non-Western country can get bombed, destabilised, sanctioned to death, etc., and only because these people have no morals or simply don’t care about anything as long as they have their drugs and their burgers. 😑

      Is there a middle ground? I don’t want wars, political nonsense, or disrespect of other cultures, but I do want drugs and burgers.

    Dying alone. Not living alone or growing old alone but dying alone.

    I dunno - it’s just quite sad to think being in hospice alone, knowing that the end is near and nobody but the nurses comes to check on you.
