they need to make noise canceling headphones that are comfortable when you lay on your side in fetal position
Facts about your body after you turn 25, AKA things I wish someone had told me:
- you will get hair in fun new places. this is normal and fine.
- these places include (but are not limited to) if you don't already have them: your asscrack, your back, your ears, and moles. it's fine.
- some of you, dick or not, will also lose hair. this is normal, but also if you have ovaries maybe get this checked out for PCOS.
- your acne will probably change. some people get better. some people get worse. it's fine.
- your nails will probably get an infection or a fungus at least once in your life. this is fine. (but also let your doc know).
- how you gain and lose fat and where you do so will change. this is fine.
- how you smell will change. this is fine. (fishy or rotten smells mean doctor time though)
- if you have a prostate: it gets harder to pee. prostates enlarge as you age (get this checked regularly). this is fine.
- if you do not have a prostate: it gets easier to pee but not in a good way. as in as you get older, your pelvic floor muscles tend to lose some of their strength. this makes it harder to keep pee in. this is fine.
- all breasts and pectorals eventually sag, with the rest of your body. this is fine.
- a decent percent of the population will experience a cyst at least once. some of you will make up for the rest with multiple. this is fine, but keep them checked out by a doctor. (sometimes this is a condition! get checked for that too!)
- almost half of everyone gets hemorrhoids. it's a good idea to just expect them since your chances of getting them get higher the older you are. your toilet will look like a murder scene. definitely get your booty checked out BUT this is almost always perfectly normal. just eat more fiber. "but I already-" eat more fiber. and maybe suck it up and buy some hemorrhoid cream, you'll thank me later.
- yes, this means you will probably need to make an appointment for a doctor to see your butthole. it's okay. not only do they really not care but 1. they've seen weirder that day and 2. they'd far rather you see them now than later when it's been going on for forty years and now it might be colon cancer. it's okay. consider it a rite of passage.
- adults need more sleep than children. don't believe the myth that you need less than they do. that is capitalist propaganda to make you give up more of your life to the work grind, comrade.
- vitamins and medicine, something you are more likely to take as you get older, sometimes make the toilet turn weird colors. it's okay.
- if you still have your tonsils and get those little stones and get sore throats more than once a year you should plan on getting those suckers out before the tonsils cause an infection and go septic. if you're getting stones at all you should get those reevaluated every year, especially if the stones are bigger than a needlehead (or get bigger over time). it's gross and yucky. I don't care. get them looked at before you end up in the hospital.
- you'll probably need to add foot support to your shoes if you don't already do. this is fine.
- your body changes. sometimes it can feel sorta weird and upsetting that it isn't what it used to be. that is okay, and it is okay to be upset. just know that this is normal, it's normal to be upset or not upset, but don't let it hinder your quality of life. trans or cis, there is a certain level of acceptance you just gotta give your body and forgive your body for as you get older. it's okay.
- it's okay. I promise.
I don’t have children so take this with a grain of salt but I hate when you can tell people like the concept of their children more than their well-being. Parents like the concept of an all-beige nursery that’s photogenic more than they care about the development of their kid’s brain. They like the concept of a cutely dressed kid in designer clothes more than they care about their comfort and personal desires. They like the concept of a child who never eats poorly more than they care about the happiness that can come from a child eating some candy now and then. People need to stop treating their kids like little dolls
i like how emma is even bored of the dancing during the opening
