I'll melt the ice caps in the Arctic sea

I love the Philadelphia Flyers, of course I'm not stable. Contrary to popular belief, I am not souless and have feelings on just about everything. NY Giants, Micheal Bolton, Pop-Punk, Country Music and Unicorns included with this package.

Forgiveness

My journey on self-searching has returned a verdict that I have to practice the art of forgiveness. This will be the only way I can truly heal from the suffering that I've internalized over the years. Everyone hurts each other at some point, some is intentional and other times it happens without malicious intent. I know I've been a horrible monster to people over the years. My best friend for 16 years taken it on the chin countless times, from our very first days together. I never feel like I've apologized enough for those early years.

I forgive the adults in my early years who used teasing and intimidation to an extreme. This always made me ill at ease and to over-think and search for a cruel motive underneath any interaction between us. I know now it wasn't intended, they just were not able to socially interact with children properly. Jokes are meant to be funny but not everyone is capable of being a punchline. I forgive the people who bullied me because of my hair, size and general awkwardness. I know now looking back that those bullies were most likely suffering from horrid family lives, so they targeted someone who was easily riled up. I was an easy victim given my dramatic reactions and as children that's what you look for in that situation.

I forgive myself for retreating inside my own mind and harboring resentment all these years. I will now use it to the best of my advantage and continue to try to reassure young women and men that our suffering is real but it's manageable and can be relieved. Shame and guilt from being ourselves can be eliminated from our lives.

Be Kind To Each Other

I've traced back where I was hurt and when I first decided I was an unlovable, ugly girl who felt shame whenever I had the nerve to like a guy. It at was 14 years old. Art class. Girls I thought were my friends found out about a crush on a boy in the class and tormented me about it. They'd tease every chance and make sure to bring up my hair or call me the hideous nickname other mean kids had come up with (also in relation to my untamed red hair of course). I felt ashamed and guilty, like I was a curse upon this guy for even thinking he was cute. I wasn't worthy of even acknowledging my atraction to him, I was a vile creature after all. I became a mean person over the years, lashing out and wanting others to be on my level. Even people who I loved, I couldn't treat them right or with enough respect. I grew to regret my cruel behavior and turned around but wasn't able to shed the self hatred. It devoured my ability to make friends, create a relationship or feel stable in public. I developed eating disorders and suffered panic attacks from every day things. Unlocking this memory of my demise came at such a late age but I have time left at least. It's also given me some closure as well. I can move on from lies and throw out the rotten ideas planted by other broken individuals over a decade ago. This isn't a new chapter, it's a new book in the series.

This is just a reminder to never be stingy with your love. Never let people wonder how you feel about them.

I grew up with a mother who told us we were loved, even though my parents were raised in an era that love between family wasn't typically vocally passed around.

Tell people you love them. If they don't return your same level of feelings, that's their loss, not yours. It may sting to care deeper for someone than they do you but you won't be left feeling like you never let them know. Especially when times get rough, you won't have that regret lingering in your mind.

I tell my parents I love them. I tell my brother I love him. I tell my friends I love them whenever humanly possible. 

My mom once thought it was odd that I'm so open but I think she's come around to at least knowing it's my sense of normal. She meant for us as a family to be upfront with our love for each other but has learned over the years our circles are much deeper than our immediate family.

You don't have to be involved with someone romantically to let them into a group of people that you tell that you love them. Tell anyone who gets you through life one day at a time, they need to hear it just as much as your family and partner needs it.

It's true, love is a strong word and means so much. Too many people go through life feeling like they aren't loved enough for one reason or another. You can fix it if you're just vocal.

They say that you should "show" people you love them, that's great too but they need to hear it.

People Like Us interview - Chris Pine

[moonsaults]

((CC: @crosbysstache  )) Once upon a time two girls "found" Chris Pine walking posts. A friendship was born. One so strong that even when one "picked" the Penguins and the other (older, wiser, unicorn like one) was "chosen" by the Flyers the ironclad daisy-chain holding them together would not break.
