I grew up in a small town in the 90s and 00s. If something went over the fence we either hopped the chain-link or went around to the gate. No issues. I just moved into a house for the first time since moving to Columbus 9 years ago. My son’s frisbee went over the fence twice today and had a conversation with family about it. Is it okay to hop over, as long as no signs are posted and there isn’t a dog, to just not bother anyone and quickly get the toy?

I’m high right now and I think I’m having an epiphany about empathy and whether or not I have really experienced it. I understand other people’s experiences. And I feel like I can “imagine being in another person’s shoes, … but maybe not? Maybe I haven’t truly and seriously pondered the sadness and pain of someone else’s experience. And maybe that’s why I haven’t been seen as empathetic even though I successfully emote and I care. And so, I feel like a victim for things that maybe I’m not actually. I could be wrong about how someone else interpreted an event because I failed to empathize. So if I see myself as a victim in a scenario I haven’t really understood someone else’s perspective. Is this realization supposed to occur all the time?

Saying you don’t give a fuck comes with a negative connotation. As does saying you just don’t care. I would sound like an asshole who doesn’t care how their actions affect other people. But I want to communicate that I don’t care about the little things in life that really don’t matter and stress people out. I care about the needs of others. I care about important issues. I don’t care about speeding into work. I don’t care about celebrities. I don’t care about whether my lawn looks like my neighbor’s.
So what’s a better saying that “I don’t give a fuck” that puts in a peaceful and joyful manner?

I was handcuffed by police in a traffic stop and I fell straight forward on my chin on the pavement. I had a bad laceration and needed stitches. I declined going to the hospital right away I went to urgent care 5 hours later. I didn’t tell the doctors the real story of what happened other than that I fell and hit my chin on the pavement, so they wouldn’t have known how hard I hit, so they didn’t advise getting an X-ray at the time. 5 days later it is still very sensitive and hurts quite a bit. I figure if it is fractured there probably isn’t anything that can be done so I let it heal on its own. But if I don’t get it looked at, what’s the worst outcome?
