i’m really over the idea that customers deserve unconditional respect from employees like nah bitch you deserve back the exact amount of respect you enter the store with. you throw a tantrum in public? you deserve to be escorted out in front of everyone and i hope it’s humiliating for you. you try to come in after close and don’t take “we’re closed” as an answer? you deserve to be told to leave and ignored. you insult the people providing services to you? you deserve to be refused service. if you don’t behave like a damn adult with impulse control and basic compassion, no one personally owes you a fucking thing my dude

the older I get the more I realize the value of privacy, of cultivating your circle and only letting certain people in. You can be open, honest, and real while still understanding not everyone deserves a seat at the table of your life.

We think we know someone, but the truth is that we only know the version of them they have chosen to show us.

The Reputation Prologue

[lisasimpsonwannabe]

“Eartha Kitt said her own experiences as a child left her a divided person. Her real self was not Eartha Kitt but Eartha Mae, a child given away by her mother.

EARTHA KITT: “Rejection has always made me into a person that does not want to be seen anywhere, except when I’m all made up and go out as Eartha Kitt. Then I feel okay.”

And where was Eartha Mae most herself?

EARTHA KITT: “I’m at home, digging in the dirt, or doing something that is very close to the Earth, because that’s where I know how to survive.”

—Eartha Kitt, 1927-2008: Singer, Actress and ‘Catwoman’ (learningenglish)

I’m practicing non-attachment. Accepting what comes and allowing it to leave when it’s time. What’s for me will be for me effortlessly.
