Don't forget to check your blind spot!

When someone shows you who they are, believe them!

We understand this concept effortlessly when it comes to adoption. Maybe we should apply that same understanding more broadly. 🤔

At the same time, someone can do everything a parent does and still choose not to identify as one—like an aunt raising her sibling’s child who still calls herself an aunt, not a mother.

It would be incredibly rude to tell an adoptive parent, "You’re not their real parent, right?" They already know their relationship to their child. You’re not informing them—you’re just being a jerk.

imagine how weird it would be if they introduced themselves at a parent-teacher conference by saying, "Just so you know, I'm not their biological parent."

Why? Because parenting is about fulfilling the roles and responsibilities of raising a child, not just biology. We don’t expect adoptive parents to constantly clarify their status—

Lets see if some of y'all can read between the line—
We all have two biological parents who contributed to our genetic makeup. But we also recognize adoptive parents as real parents, even though they aren’t biologically related to their children.

Grind-set? nah I'd rather be home and play with my cat

Got road rage? start telling yourself everyone driving fast is just trying to get home to use the bathroom. It's just as, if not more than likely then someone being mean.

Why do we need an objective purpose? does any other animal?

Why is it delusional to be optimistic but not pessimistic?

The word of the day!
