Friendships have different stages of development, going from acquaintance to best friend. But not all friends will reach each level, which is okay.

If you want to shrink something,you must first allow it to expand.
If you want to get rid of something,you must first allow it to flourish.
If you want to take something,you must first allow it to be given.
Lao Tzu
If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.
Jane Austen, Emma (via wordsnquotes)
Is it really that bad if someone sees who you are? Why is it humans have a problem with letting someone else see that they are human?
Joseph Gogler (via wordsnquotes)
I wonder which is worse. The fear of the unknown? Or knowing for sure that something terrible is true? The choose the latter. Or better yet, the negative, unforeseen consequences of that terrible thing being true?

No problem can stand the assault of sustained thinking.
In this world of contradiction, it's better to be merry than wise. - Depressing Reality
The problem with the new (not so new, these ask.fm websites are way older and annually repetitive since before ask.fm) anonymous messaging app Sarahah is not that it creates a platform for cyberbullying (although, let's be honest, bullies continue into adulthood), it's that it is playing a role, setting a movement against free speech by ridding people of the responsibility of owning their words (which we have enough of in the world).
Sometimes I think I have felt everything I’m ever gonna feel. And from here on out, I’m not gonna feel anything new. Just lesser versions of what I’ve already felt. — Her, Dir. Spike Jonze
"It's such a relief to talk when one wants to and not be told that children should be seen and not heard. I've had that said to me a million times if I have once. And people laugh at me because I use big words. But if you have big ideas you have to use big words to express them, haven't you? People don't like big words but I find them exciting, there are extraordinary big words like encompassing and glorious."
If all the world hated you and believed you wicked, while your own conscience approved of you and absolved you from guilt, you would not be without friends.
Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
Communication Is Key
Best way I can put into words what communication should be.(Actually, I do this every now and then, changing the words around doesn't alter the initial message.) Is, whenever a time comes up where you find yourself in any type of relationship feeling any amount of tension whatsoever, what I would describe as "red flags", or "yellow flags", first, try to articulate the thought process to yourself. Identify what the problem is and how and why, the entire process, if you, can't, discuss it with whoever the other person is anyway. Even if you think you have it figured out fully, move to step two, discuss it with the other person. The entire point is to not trick yourself into thinking this is just your world and they have their world, while expecting any longevity manifesting or for anyone to take you seriously.
What else does that mean? Non verbal communication. Be self aware. If anyone is speaking and you get agitated where you can't be respectful with your body language then something needs to be articulated better. Body language is not a mystery, that's why attitude is so blatant and abrupt. You need to understand there has to be room for growth.
Whenever people have emotional reactions, it's easy to project problems unto other people, including not taking responsibility for yourself. Paying attention to short comings you might even be aware of for example. I would know, I've been treated like shit most of my life. But that's a different topic for a different time.
In other words, individually pay attention and don't be an asshole. Depending on how affectively you do that, life might just become a little more fair. Ha, no, it won't life isn't fair, it never will be, but you can dream.
I'll just leave this here.

When sex is practiced with mindfulness, the joy and enjoyment of it does not depend on the same parameters that seem important on the onset of a relationship. It is not affected by: Physical attractiveness; Levels of libido; Physical abilities; Mood; It is not even affected by the technique that enhances your pleasure.
It is affected by: Knowing what holds you back from enjoying pleasure; Knowing how to correctly address those issues; Communicating with your partner in way that serves your relationship; Your willingness to invest, explore and have fun.
What is meaningful/slow/mindful sex? I use these terms interchangeably, because at the end of the day, they all point to the same thing. It is sex that is done with awareness. Sex that is evolving beyond the realm of satisfying our biological urge, and is done with the intention of tuning into the most subtle sensations that we can feel in our body. As opposed to conventional sex, in which we try to amplify pleasure, in mindful sex we are focused on enhancing our innate ability to feel pleasure.

As opposed to conventional sex, in which we try to amplify pleasure, in mindful sex we are focused on enhancing our innate ability to feel pleasure.
Although there are plenty of differences between slow sex and conventional sex, I will only mention a few here. In conventional sex, the main focus is on achieving an orgasm, and the experience is judged by how good that orgasm was: its intensity, its duration, the number of orgasms in one session, or timing the orgasm with your partner. There’s an emphasis on excitement and novelty, which tend to trigger that “great orgasm” goal. In mindful sex, the main focus is on the quality of pleasure throughout the session. The techniques of achieving that pleasure are not as important (although there are definitely techniques that support that) as noticing the sensations in your body, the thoughts and feelings that emerge, and the connection between you and your partner. In order to stay focused at any given moment, movements need to be done very slowly, with intention and communication (hence the term Slow Sex). We actually try to keep the excitement to a bare minimum, so that we can notice the most subtle of sensations.
Needless to say, as the excitement is toned down, sex will most probably last a lot longer than conventional sex.
What about orgasms? Orgasms that arise through the practice of slow sex have a tendency to feel very different than the orgasms that happen through conventional sex. First, there’s no guarantee that they will arise at all. But, as the practice was so long and pleasurable the entire time - you most probably won’t feel like you’re missing out on anything. You will most probably be very pleased anyway. Second, the orgasms that do come - arise effortlessly. They are not called for or sought for - they simply unfold themselves. And they are sometimes described by people as so intense that they are on the verge of being unpleasurable.
And the Oscar goes to... which psychological disorder?
