How to be a Genuine and Fun-Loving Person

1. Value and respect the fact that you are a totally unique individual, with your own destiny to fulfill. Believe in who you are, what you think and believe, your gifts and talents, and what you have to offer to those around you.

2. Refuse to give into negative feelings of anxiety, self doubt or insecurity. In fact, “fake it till you make it” is often good advice … So, ignore how you feel, and act the way you want to be. Choose to switch off the old tapes that keep on playing in your head, and try to visualize your goals and then push on and seek to reach them.

3. Don’t pay any attention to what others think about you. The most important judgment should be yours, and yours alone. If you live in constant fear of what others think about you, it will only hold you back from realizing your potential. Also, you’re not a clone of others as each of us is different. Don’t be afraid to be unique or to stand out against the crowd.

4. Accept that you have good points, and areas for growth. We’re all a mix of different qualities, and flaws, and traits. We all make mistakes – it’s what you do with them matters – so embrace the fact you’re human and won’t always get it right.

5. Also, develop a tough skin and don’t take insults personally. Look back and laugh – don’t cower – or criticise yourself. It won’t help if you’re sensitive or worried all the time. It’s better to forgive yourself, and then move on again.

6. Develop your ability to think creatively. Try out those new ideas, and choose to live outside the box.

7. Seek to enjoy this moment, and to live life in the present. Be grateful for the small things, and savour all you have.

I recently read an article about how women use the word “just” in work life and personal life more than men do because we feel we need to apologize or make whatever we have to say quick. “I’m just writing to say…” “I just want to know…” “Just checking in…”. It seems to trivialize what we have to say.

Don’t apologize or feel you need to make little of what you are saying. Say it with intention. “I’m writing to tell you this…” “I want you to know…” “I’m checking in to make sure…"

Since reading the article I’ve become aware of how much I was adding “just” so soften what I had to say, whether it needed to be softened or not. Say what you have to say with confidence and intent. without apology. what you have to say, no matter what it is, is important.

I seriously say just WAY too much.

REBLOG IF NAZIS OFFEND YOU MORE THAN NIPPLES.

Please reblog this message

Hi this is Kayla-Na. You might have been following me on http://www.Kayla-Na.tumblr.com

Just want to inform everyone that my account has been terminated, and tumblr is refusing to respond to any of my e-mails I’ve sent to them about my termination. So in light of this, I’ve decided to abandon tumblr altogether since their staff can’t even respond to people whose accounts were wrongfully terminated. You can find my art here:

any white at a protest who tries to go against police and deliberately provoke a response from them is not to be trusted and does not have the safety of black and brown people in mind.

telegantmess

there is a good chance that they are police too. if anyone, especially a white dude, ever randomly gets your attention and conspiratorially tries to convince you to jump a police officer, then dude is a cop. They have been using this technique and script for at least 30 years.

Check their fucking shoes. They’re always too afraid that their little toesies will be hurt so they’ll usually still be rocking the exact same boots as the guys on the other side. This was what gave the cops away when they provoked riots in Toronto a while back.

levourdalak

@talesofalamia, remember when I pointed out the shoes of the two well-dressed informants near us?

Similar note: IME, unmarked cruisers have five distinguishing traits: 1. They’re one of the department-issue models. 2. They’re always white, black, or dark blue. 3. They always look like they just rolled out of a car wash. 4. Usually rocking restricted plates. 5. Most reliable if present but hardest to spot: Their mirrors are bulkier, to fit the light rigs in.

In Austin the under cover officer that tried to convince me to set a cop car on fire had a convincing fake beard.

Be careful out there and read up on common tactics used against protestors before going.

You can usually see the stealth lights if you look into the grill.

Besides the old obvious as fuck Crown Victoria, be suspicious of 2013+ Ford Taurus and Explorer, 2006+ Dodge Charger and Dakota, 06-13 Chevy Impala, 11+ Chevy Caprice and both the Tahoe and Suburban.

Look for oversize mirrors, plugs on the roof and/or A pillar, lights inside the grill, extraneous lights inside the headlight assembly, lights tucked up behind the rear view mirror, steel wheels with or without wheel covers, and plugs or short antennas on the trunk lid.

Reblogging this for two reasons: 1. So people who have reason to be afraid of the police (which is pretty much anyone with significant melanin) see it. 2. Uh, good writer reference for describing undercover cop cars…

Venom Giveaway

Remember that time I made @bottomhanniballecter a symbiote scarf? No? This guy.

Anyway, I had said that if it got enough love I’d make another and do a giveaway…. Well this is happening

He’s made of Bernat blanket yarn, so he’s super soft and a good boy.

Here’s the deal.

Symbiote needs a new host (and eyes and a tongue and to be finished…) Want to be that perfect host? Here’s what you have to do…

Like and reblog

Follow me (how else would you get updates?)

Be willing to give me your address (how else could I mail it?)

That’s it.

Though for shipping reasons, if you live outside the US, you have to be willing to pay for shipping, because he’s kinda heavy and as much as I love you all, I’m not willing to pay more than $15 for shipping.

Alright. I shall pick a winner on Black Friday (Nov 23rd) because it seems appropriate. Haha

Got the tongue done xD

It seems that I’m wearing a red Hannibal shirt every time I take a picture with the symbiote bae… Which is actually kinda annoying since the tongue gets lost in the red. Oh well you can see it here.

Little over one week loves, spread the word (or don’t to up your own chances)

ishxallxgood

Reminder that I pick a winner Friday!
