@skeletor in my inspirational skeletor era

@skeletor This actually makes a lot more sense than leafing. How do you leaf? I can't leaf.

😁

@skeletor That was a joke. I know they mean "leave."
@skeletor because I don't live 700 years?

@skeletor I will probably forget, but right now I want to re-boost this every day.
I don't like how people intentionally misinterpret this to pedantically disagree.
"like a tree" not "actually become an actual tree".
Also the tree part seems the setup for the important part.

I posit people struggle with being a good person and will jump to excuse to not
face it.

I also assume that if I don't like it, there's a good chance I am guilty of that or
similar behaviour, but just can't see it.
@skeletor even trees race grow high in a Forrest then block out the sunlight to smaller ones while growing wider.

@skeletor Beech trees drip poison to inhibit the growth of other plants...

@skeletor

When my stepdad died in 1995, one of our family friends planted a small tree in his honor in our front yard.

I got to watch that tree grow over the next four years while I was there, and as I (slowly) healed.

I still think about that tree every now and then. We sold that house in the 2000s, and the tree got removed at some point, according to street view.

Still, it was a nice gesture.
