SO GOOD QUOTES

You have a lovely text threads with friends from your childhood or your 20s that pop off every few days.

But let’s be real: it’s just not enough. When you let yourself think about it, you feel incredibly isolated.

…

But a whole lot of this ethos stems from a deep-seated belief in individualism. We think that just because we can “do it ourselves” (and by “it,” I mean raising kids, performing domestic labor, caring for others, finding economic security, living life) that we should do it ourselves….and our ability to do so evinces innate moral fortitude. We’re better people, in other words, because we did it alone.
