Me: You don’t have to monetise the things you love doing, you can just keep them as hobbies to do for fun. If you have to make a living from it you’ll stop enjoying it anyway

Also me: But if you don’t *have* to do it, for example because it’s what you get paid for, you just… literally… won’t do it… at all… ever

man, I don’t wanna single anyone out and I also don’t wanna demonize girls but sometimes I read discussions about how wonderful and kind and empathetic adolescent girls are and I really, really wonder what kind of middle school experience everyone had

#also that’s why i always roll my eyes at ‘lord of the flies wouldn’t work with girls’!#like no it wouldn’t play out the same way#but a bunch of preteen girls stranded on an island could also get pretty nasty fast
