 Good morning and Happy Mother’s Day to you friend…☕️🫂 
 Everyone abandoned me at home (it's still Saturday), but they're all going to be here for brunch, tomorrow. 🥰 
 Could be the best present ever…to be left alone😂😂😂 
 It is, to be honest. Wasted the whole day writing and thinking through algos. Catharctic. 
 Have to go to a big birthday bash, tonight, and despairing about what to wear, as it's going to be full of stuffy academics who will give me the side-eye for looking too attractive, at the same time that my husband will balk, if I overshoot and go too dowdy. Decisions, decisions.

He just puts on a clean shirt, combs his hair, and walks out the door. 😭

I hate parties. 
 Embrace the side eye. Your husband will be the victor and to the victor, goes the spoils. Have fun at the party🤙🏻🎉 
 The only outside opinions that matter are:
God's
Your spouse

In that order. 

So who you trying to look good for, those that love you or everyone else? (General question) 
 I'd rather not look good. It depresses me, somehow. 
 Just fretting about it exhausted me and I fell asleep.

I think it's because that guy called me a whore and that bothered me more than I let on. But I will have to become unbothered, as I am running late and I can't show up in rags and smeared with ashes.

GN everyone. 
 Put on a clean shirt, comb your hair, and walk out the door. YOLO 
 Happy mother's day! 💝

 It’s both; they feed on each other. 
 The golden halo effect?

They always seem to be in competition with each other. 
 Being pretty is useless if you can't feed the chickens. 
 It isn't. 😂 
 Good men value both. Don't settle for less.
