I have had peanut butter cups in my possession for 7 DAYS

a note to you from me. whoever is reading this.

yeah, you. 

You guys, we need to be nicer humans. Me and you and all of everyone. Not just to others (and we should be that too). I mean, like, to ourselves. To our "chothers" (pronounced CHUHH-thurz), as my Spanish professor would say. If you had a friend that talked to you like you talk to yourself, would you be friends with that person? OMG I hated that sentence. Agh! See?! Being a jerk to myself again. *I will not criticize my own grammar or others', amen* *unless they ask me to, please bless that they ask me to*

And now, in the spirit of being a generally pleasant human, here is a list of things I think we should give people awards for but we don't (you probably fit the description of many of these, so go have a peanut butter cup to celebrate!
