I'm a dreamer, but I'm also a realist. My life is a constant struggle between those, But I kinda like it that way :)

What you see is a myosin protein dragging an endorphin along a filament to the inner part of the brain’s parietal cortex which creates happiness. Happiness. You’re looking at happiness.

So a tiny story: on Black Friday a few weeks ago I went to Gamestop to buy my brother a game for Christmas, and I noticed this older man was watching me like a hawk. He was loitering around the front of the store without really buying anything, and every time I glanced at him out of the corner of my eye he was looking at me. I went to look at the PS4 games, and he was looking at something right behind me. I checked out the Nintendo games, and he was looking at them too. I was the only woman in the store, by the way.

By the time I got in line to pay he was loitering at the front of the store again, and I just had that feeling that he was going to try and take the game I just bought, or steal my purse, as soon as I left the store. OR, he was going to try and follow me home. And I know I don’t have to explain that terror to any woman reading this, but all I could think was that I’m in this Gamestop alone with at least twenty other men and something is about to happen. I’m beginning to freak out, to the point where I’ve just pulled my pepper spray out of my purse and into the pocket of my coat. 

So there I am, next in line to pay, and there is this GIGANTIC dudebro right behind me, and I say gigantic as a 6 foot tall woman. He says, “Ma’am? Don’t be offended, but would it be alright if I walked you to your car?” and I was like “Are you serious?” and he was like “There are some weird guys in here right now. Have you noticed that guy watching you?” and then I showed the dudebro the pepper spray in my pocket and he was like “Right on. Would you still let me walk you to your car?” and I said yes.

So I paid, and waited while HE paid, and he walked me to my car. And just as I was getting in, the weird guy who’d been loitering came out of the store, saw me and my dudebro, and turned around and walked away in the opposite direction. 

In short: men who recognize that women are unsafe in dark alleys, college campuses, grocery stores, gas stations and retail stores and do something about it are the kind of quality men that this world needs more of.

Funny, I seem to recall when Donald Trump’s son tweeted the m&ms metaphor in reference to letting the Syrian refugees in, all of y'all were whining about how racist and horrible of a metaphor it is 🤔🤔🤔

[fantasy-nightmare]

It’s only ok when liberals, sjws, BLM, LGBT, and feminists use it, but not anyone else. Obvi DUH there’s no such thing as hypocrisy to them at all. It doesn’t exist.

Post Post Script

I should mention that a couple days ago is when the fires started raging through Sevier County. Thankfully my parents home and cabins all made it through. And so did Bethy’s. We think it looks as though Shrushti’s building made it okay too, but that is yet to be sure.

It’s been a really frightening and scary time for everyone, but Andy was super loving and comforting towards me when I broke down crying. It was so sweet! I love that guy. <3

Love on the brain

It's been almost two years and I still can't calm down. I can't get him out of my head. I feel like a crazy person. I want to spend every moment possible with him. I don't care what we do -- we can even sit in silence -- as long as we have each other's company. I want to make him happy. I want to marry him <3

one of the most toxic things i’ve ever done is ignore the bad in someone because i love them

A different kind of love

I loved once, and at the time, I thought I would never love again. Until I met this love. And then I can't help but wonder if the last love was truly love or if it's just that every love is felt differently. A different kind of love.

[animalsnaps]

i just need someone who texts back fast, falls in love with my seflies, sends me memes, and tells me I’m pretty every day
