sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

So let me get this straight, we finally get an American pope, and some of the America first crowd is mad because he cares about the poor and immigrants. Am i missing something here?
I cannot express how much I admire and respect this man. I supported him for president back in 2019 and will support him for ANY elected office in the future. He’s the real deal 💙💙

One very strange thing about MAHA is that the medical freedom movement did NOT need to be rebranded. We’re a block of 9 million single issue voters.

The rebrand was led by outsiders to divert attention from vaccine injury. The only people getting fooled by this Trojan Horse play are us!
My early 20s were surreal. My girlfriend was actively rooting for our relationship to fail, my bosses were hoping for my projects to fail, and the non-profits I worked at were doing everything in their power to fail at everything they did.
