“I wish I had the time to do that.”
- me, a person who definitely has the time to do that but also has terrible time management skills and most likely to just spend 4 hours getting absolutely nothing accomplished instead of the hundred other things I could and should be doing
I feel personally attacked by the accuracy of this post.

We naturally put millionaires and billionaires in the same general class of person, but the only reason to do that is because the words are similar. Since these aren’t numbers we can actually visualize, it’s important to understand what a billion of something is. To travel a million inches, you’d have to travel from the Southern-most tip of Manhattan and go to the Bronx. To travel a billion inches, you’d have to fly from New York to Shanghai twice. A million seconds is a little over 11 days. A billion seconds is nearly 32 years. A million ounces is about the weight of a train car. A billion ounces is 4.5 Eiffel Towers. Use these to conceptualize what the difference between a millionaire and a billionaire is, and the absurd amount of wealth we’re talking about.
Millionaire: I can buy a fancy sports car, and a huge house!
Billionaire: I can buy THE SPACE PROGRAM
Ithe UN estimates $30 billion a year could end world hunger.
Jeff Bezos, owner of Amazon and richest person in the world, has a net worth of $113.1 BILLION in 2018, according to Forbes. This man could singlehandedly END WORLD HUNGER for nearly FOUR YEARS. all on his own, with money he has access to right this moment.
THIS is the shit we’re talking about when we complain about the filthy rich. Your friend making like $60K - $250K a year with a sports car and a pool and a nice house and a comfortable savings isn’t the problem. The people whose net worth is in the 9 digits are the people we’re talking about.

You have $86,400 in your account and someone stole $10 from you, would you be upset and throw all of the $86,390 away in hopes of getting back at the person that took your $10? Or move on and live? Right, move on and live. See, we have 86,400 seconds in every day so don’t let someone’s negative 10 seconds ruin the rest of the 86,390. Don’t sweat the small stuff, life is bigger than that

Selena Gomez saying that “hashtags don’t save lives” about blm but then going all out for march for our lives and saying “ it’s not just a hashtag” says a lot about her character lmao. It’s very clear that these non black celebs only show out for certain people and movements. She’s rightfully being dragged on social media rn and turned off her comments because she knows she’s a hypocrite. Her captions are all like “ I don’t want this to be just an IG post anymore. PLEASE. ENOUGH. These people, families and CHILDREN suffered enough”. Bitch so did many black people. You think their families and friends aren’t suffering because they were unjustly killed? Fuck this fake ass, performative activism bullshit.

Soft things my dad has done
- One time when he was 18, he was fishing and found a baby salamander someone had tried and failed to use as bait. It had a huge gash in its side and didn’t look like it would make it. He put it in the bucket he was going to put fish in and took it home, then performed “surgery” on the little guy to mend the gash. It couldn’t move, so my dad fed it and nursed it back to health until the gash was healed. Since he’d taken it in as a baby, it wasn’t equipped to stay alive in the wild, so he kept it in a giant aquarium next to his bed. It stayed alive until my sister was born six years later.
- His dad took him deer hunting once when he was in middle school. They hunted all day and never saw a single deer. At the end of the day as the sun was setting, they found one, and my dad yelled at my grandpa not to shoot it because it didn’t deserve to die. He hasn’t been deer hunting since.
- Two people I used to be best friends with don’t have stable parents. My dad takes them out for lunch and out fishing regularly, and even though I am not friends with either of them anymore, he still makes time for them as if they were his own kids.
- Sometimes I catch him crying at videos of dogs on the internet.
- One time he was crying and I asked him what was wrong and he gave me a hug and said there isn’t always a reason. I’ve held on to that.
- He told me that if (if) he dies, he wants to die by being drowned in a horde of puppies because otherwise, what’s the point?
- He makes sure to say “I love you” to my mom and me every day, because he once told me he never once heard it from his parents as a kid.
- Saw my mom looking at a bird, so he found out what kind of bird it was and drew a picture of it for her.
- Heard me crying after a hard day and brought me a box of milk duds, because even though I’m lactose intolerant, it was an occasion on which they were needed.
- Shows me every day that men who feel allowed to be open, vulnerable, soft, and emotional are so much happier than men who are told to keep it all inside.
