I was remembering the story about monk parakeets from a broken crate at JFK.

When I invite someone over I don’t expect them to invite me back, but after a few times of being the hostess isn’t it logical to feel the need to return the favour?! Is it wrong of me to lose interest in a person when I feel I am putting in all the effort?! I believe you should never expect anything in return, but in regards to friendships I prefer to deal with likeminded people. Perhaps I’m just exhausted as always being the giver and for once it would be nice to be on the receiving end. Even if I feel selfish for feeling this way.4

I think its fair to expect some reciprocity in any relationship. Maybe they don't feel like they can be as good a hostess as you so avoid it and dont offer. idk. Personally I think if something doesn’t feel right or you’re disappointed in the lack of reciprocity, maybe put it out there with small talk that it’d be nice to have a change of scenery from being hostess. How would they feel about hosting the next get together. Put out feelers. Idk if that is rude or not though.2 -
Waking up 3 hours before my alarm and not being able to fall back asleep. 😡 Today is going to be a long day. ☕️☕️☕️3

Thanks. ❤️ I just needed to let off steam more than anything else.
I have given subtle hints here and there. Perhaps I need to be more direct. If someone doesn’t appreciate it and considers it rude, then that’s on them. At least that’s better than ghosting someone to avoid the confrontation all together.4 -

Tiananmen Square, West Beijing: April-June 4 1989
Still breaks my heart every time we hold vigil for the lost. Why weep for those you've never met, civilian and soldier alike? Well...We do not speak the name of the event, but children slaughtering children, no matter the reason is just... You say the Hunger Games is just a story? Is it?1 -
Remember last week when this place was fun?1

I had my niece and nephew for a sleepover last night. I had forgotten about temper tantrums... until now, when my niece just had a meltdown because she wanted me to take the seeds out of her kiwi. 😅 Time to take them back to mommy and daddy 😂

Health insurance companies. They should cover the stuff needed & not dicker over whether it was 50 minutes or 51 minutes. *EYEROLL*1

I have spent over 4 hours in the car every day this week taking other people where they need to go. I just took my pants off and remembered I still have one more person to shuttle. Blah2

Sad but true. And, the insurance company only cares about its money. They want to collect premiums but never payout.0
