‘I bought a stupidly expensive purse that is impractical. My cats are getting an extra can of wet food every day. I bought a new wardrobe and I paid off my credit card. I’d say it’s lovely.’

‘More of an awakening. No tolerance for time wasters, bs dealmakers, or anyone else with toxicity flowing out of them. Spending energy on things that matter most instead of being overly nice or overly accommodating to others and trying to people please. Also, colouring hair in vibrant colours.’

‘For me: Divorced my verbally abusive and neglectful husband, bought a house of my own for me and my kids (50/50 custody), painted my bedroom a color I Iove, adopted two kittens, planted peonies and hydrangeas, over seeded the lawn with micro-clover, got a tattoo, took a lover and started making kickass soups.
The lover is gone, but I rented a cello and started taking lessons so overall I think that’s a win.’

‘Divorce. Perimenopause. When I turned 40, all of my fucks flew away. I imagine they now reside in some poor 20something that thinks she needs Botox.’
–MetaverseLiz

‘Overdoing getting into gardening.’

‘My wife is trying to convince me to buy her a mini Highland cow. Does that count?’
