realization

Being a woman in this world, there are a lot of things that we have to learn the hard way. We learn really early on that women are oppressed, and they don't get paid as much as men, but there are so many more helpful things that women need to understand and also a question. The more women are open with each other and continue to provide each other with the 'secrets of womanhood,' the better.

Some of these realizations shared on Reddit may be hard to swallow, but most should be used to remind you that you are a boss bitch and this is your life! Even the world isn't built for us, we should still strive to take it over.

That moment when you realize something completely life-changing is honestly better than any drug I've dried. It literally feels like a brain blast from Jimmy Neutron and it's so satisfying. I feel like the older we get, we get less and less of these moments, but it's crazy every time. Children are the lucky ones because they are just beginning to understanding the world, and boy do they make some hilarious realizations.

If you have kids, or you just want a bit of that 'brain blast' nostalgia, you'll love these tweets!

Growing up, every kid swears they'll never be anything like their parents. All the annoying things parents do or say, all the bad dad jokes they make, and all the rules they enforce are things their kid would rather die than do themselves. You name it; if your parent does it, you'll want to do it differently. Because kids always know best, right? But somehow, the inevitable happens, and as we get older, we notice the oddly familiar patterns in our behavior. And somehow, slowly but surely, we start turning into our parents. These Redditors shared the horrifying moments they realized they were becoming their parents and some of them hit home pretty hard. 

Everyone likes to do a good deed when they can for friends, family members, and sometimes even strangers. True altruism may not exist, but no one expects a reward for doing a good deed, at least not on the surface. Sure, it feels good to help someone in need, and a little gratitude is nice here and there, but that's not really why we do it, right? But when the person you've gone out your way to help throws it back in your face or manipulates you to get what they want, it can make you lose faith and say, "F it, I'm not helping anyone again!" Like these people who went out their way to help someone and ended up getting screwed over in the process.

Having a crush can be a beautiful thing - if they like you back. But if the object of your affection doesn't return the love, you can be left with crushing disappointment, a blow to your ego, and possible heartbreak. Rejection is a difficult, albeit inevitable pill to swallow in life, but especially when it comes to dating. The trick is to know when you've been served that pill and how to walk away gracefully. Otherwise, you look like a desperate creep. A Reddit thread has asked guys for the moments that made them realize, "this girl is definitely not into me," and the responses are painful to read. I'm not sure whether all these girls are nasty individuals, or the guys didn't get previous hints to back off, resulting in drastic rejection measures. What do you think?

When we pick a partner, we like to think we've chosen someone who is somewhat intelligent. At the very least, not a total idiot. But every now and again, our significant others do something that makes us question everything we thought we knew about their intelligence. Here are some hilarious pictures from people's partners who realized for just a moment that they may be dating a total idiot.
