Dear Neil, I am a horrible person. How to be kinder, please?

Sometimes I suspect we are all horrible people. Or at least, we are human people. Same thing. We are impatient, judgmental, irritating and irritated, grumpy, easily offended and the rest of it.

So how to be kinder if it doesn’t come naturally? 

Fake it. 

Fake it a little bit at a time. 

Because there isn’t actually any difference between doing something nice for someone because you are naturally saintly and perfect, and doing something nice for someone because you are secretly demonic and trying to cover it up. It’s still an act of kindness either way, and you still made their lives better.

Smile at people. Say hullo. Ask about their lives. Remember what they’ve told you about their lives. Do small things to try and help them. (They will not know you are horrible, do not worry. They will just perceive that you are helping.)

Give people the benefit of the doubt. Remember that it’s more often stupidity to blame than evil, that everyone can screw up (including you) and what’s important is learning from that.

Think “What would an actually kind person do now?” – and do that. Don’t beat yourself up when you fail. Just be as kind to yourself as you will be to others – even if you have to fake that.

And good luck.

A ridiculous, and gigantic pair of articulated enamel fish earrings, that weigh about three times as much as a pair of earrings should. Converted from a pair of c1920 pendants. (online)

The FBS with Greek goddesses

◇ Aphrodite: the lipstick lesbian par excellence. Long silky hair, wears pearls, smells like designer perfume

◇ Hera: she’s a queen and she knows it. Power femme.

◇ Demeter: femme but doesn’t hesitate to get her hands dirty. Ripped from field work.

◇ Persephone: true futch. Half the year it’s flowers and sun dresses the other it’s studs and combat boots. Probably has an undercut.

◇ Artemis: as the OG moon lesbian she has a femme vibe, but overall she’s pretty butch. Wears clothes from the men’s section. Definitely has a men’s haircut.

◇ Athena: power butch. Wears dad’s armour to battle. Rocks fatigues and smart tuxes.

◇ Gaia: literally made out of stone. Can’t get butch-er than that
