Do Your Thing, Honey

"In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher." -Dalai Lama I'm just a girl dealing with a wacky world through creative pursuits. I haven't been here in a long time, and I'm not on often, but I like beautiful, funny, and clever things. Like you!

Someone you can make peace with is going to say some variant of “You’re right, I’m sorry” and then stop doing the unkind thing. Someone you can’t make peace with is going to explain how you are misinterpreting or exaggerating and how it’s not their fault anyhow.

in a relationship with healthy communication, arguments should end with understanding on both ends

you have to keep the goal in mind

do you want to win? or do you want to understand that person and resolve the issue? (ask yourself once, then ask again)

the ego loves to win an argument, but relationships are not about feeding your ego

healthy relationships dilute the ego

if you find yourself arguing to win in your relationship, consider what you value more: the love you share with that person, or protecting your ego

‘Hello land dog, I am water dog.’

[wordsnquotes]

Working hard for something we don’t care about is called stress; working hard for something we love is called passion.

Rough & witty 》Boring & pretty

“At 14, while every one of my female peers were hanging gender-ambiguous, non-threatening Tiger Beat centerfolds of Leo & the Ramen-noodle-haired Justin T, I saw, 'Mary Shelley', and, 'Dangerous Liaisons', on TV (amazing what our first exposure to sexual scenarios can do to mold our desires), and was henceforth forever aroused by John Malkovich. There was no bubble gum pop Nickelodeon poster tear-outs for that one, needless to say. That wasn't exactly a heartthrob I could giggle about with girlfriends and scribble on my notebook. 'Course I also wasn't imagining flowers and romance, and gentle first kisses, sweet innocent young love... No, just imagining having wicked conversations about sex and being ravaged roughly anywhere at any opportunity (after long, frustrating minutes of arduous petticoat removal, of course). Hard to share *that* scenario with the gals at a sleepover. All they wanted to talk about was Leo's pretty eyes and hairless, premature Dad bod.

Nowadays, it's the same--still just not into men that look like women and offer dull conversation about the weather--I like 'em panty-droppingly brilliant, with a wit so sharp I can cut my tongue on it. If that seems to often come in a rough package, then so be it.

You can keep your clean-cut, side part, talks about his new pink shirt and Italian leather shoes at the water cooler, takes 50 selfies of himself in said pink shirt, photographs pink shirt arranged with shopping bags and reciept, adds filter, captions it #freshtodeath,#realmenwearpink,#worthit, #meltedplastic, #thuglife, or any other variation of , "look at me!! Please God, tell me you believe this lie and envy my insular life, pay attention to what I buy and look like because I have nothing interesting to say/do and I need you to validate my worth!" hipster-y, finance guy... sorry, that went off on a tangent.
 I'll take the ugly guy with zero social media, and innate confidence, that can keep a well-served convo volleying indefinitely, over a manicured Hiddleston or DiCaprio any day.”
