If a young person were to ask me ‘what’s the most important thing you’ve learned’ I’m going to say, ‘whenever you feel you have to pee, go.’

@skinnylatte good advice, no joke!

Sometimes I think about all the historic events in our lifetimes, space travel, Olympic wins, wars, epic performances and wonder "what did they do when they had to go to the bathroom?" Did they plan their food and drink in advance to delay the need?"

Our biological needs are so significant to our actions but they're almost always hidden in the stories we tell. How many events ended differently because the protagonist was hangry or had to pee really bad?

@TheresaReason I also think that people who were socialized as young women are often told to put their needs last. So much BS like ‘only going at the right time’ or ‘when no one can see me’ or just generally feeling like your needs don’t matter.

@skinnylatte @TheresaReason Women have ALWAYS had to shrink themselves to fit into the few spaces that men allowed them. And if that means you don't pee until you absolutely have to or die, then that's what you do.
