I love my family, but...

Dec 15, 2020 2:44 AM

Sometimes, I wonder how we’re even related. I love her, but I also intentionally cancelled my trip to have thanksgiving with her because of the pot use, heavy drinking, and political conspiracy theories.

Most vital edit:
Is it just me or is it ironic that a post about a virus goes most viral?

Wear a fucking mask and be kind to each other.

Apologies to you but I'm going to laugh at your sister.
