DIVORCE. [GMT-4 NEW YORK] LIST.

WHEN YOU SHOULD DIVORCE YOURSELF FROM EMOTIONS:

1. Your roommates have finished the last ice cream sandwich at your expense.

2. You get horrible gastrointestinal afflictions as a result of consuming spoiled food at a party.

3. You are stuck in traffic behind a poor driver.

4. You are engaged in conversation with someone who is convinced you care deeply about his occupation.

5. Your mother keeps sending chain emails and/or slideshows of flowers, kittens, etc.

DIVORCE. [GMT+1 LONDON] POETRY.

What's mine is yours and yours is mine seems meaningless most of the time. Processions between the possessive tactile goods tacitly imply I'm yours and you're mine. But before the need for things, thoughts, emotions intertwine take a step back assess the true worth of Me Mine I'm.

You want what you cannot have to have what you do not want the lapse that brings together ultimately divides.

No one knows the future or can inevitably go back in time. Einmal ist keinmal Eein mal ist kein mal I'm taking back what's mine.

MISFORTUNE. Bonus Quote!

FROM GAVIN DE BECKER'S THE GIFT OF FEAR

Warning signals of psychopaths include: -They talk too much and give us unnecessary details to distract us.

-They approach Us, never the other way around. -They typecast or mildly insult us, in order to have us respond and engage with them. -They use the technique of "forced teaming," using the word "we" to make them and their victim seem like they are all in the same boat. -They find a way to help us so we feel in their debt (called "loan sharking"). -They ignore or discount our "no." Never let someone talk you out of a refusal, because then they know they are in charge.
