“That’s what people do who love you. They put their arms around you and love you when you’re not so lovable.”

Damn…just…damn, man. RIP to Polly Lou Livingston, who provided the voice of everyone’s favorite apple pie making elephant as Tree Trunks, according to one of the crew who worked on Adventure Time, Adam Muto. She’ll be missed.

“But as bad as it was, I learned something about myself … That I could go through something like that, and survive.”

— Nicholas Sparks

Being a good person is a choice. Don’t let people fool you into believing that truly good people never have bad thoughts, are never tempted by the easier path, by the low road, never mess up or act out selfishly. Never believe a person can be good without making a conscious effort.

Every single time you do something good, you’ve made a decision to make the world a little brighter.

Goodness is not an inherent trait, it is a choice. Keep making it! I see you, I’m proud of you, and I’m rooting for you!

I'm off to fight God does anyone want anything?

my honest, best and most fulfilling advice for young girls and women is to not cater to what other men think, need or desire from you. in fact, if you don’t like a man for any reason, be honest with yourself and don’t spend time around him if he makes you uncomfortable in any way. if possible, set as many boundaries as you desire. block and do what you must. you’re not here to coddle a man’s feelings.

from a very early age i was taught to smile and be polished, make myself small (as small as i could) so a man would enjoy my presence. i didn’t listen to my intuition when a man showed red flags and i wish i did.

listen to you. to your voice and other girls’ voices. the male gaze is not at all important or defining of your worth, talents and accomplishments. if a man bothers you or harms you in any way, do not be silent! you are allowed to take up space. you are your own human being and not an extension of his judgment.

It is the year of our lord 2022. I told a customer I liked her shoelaces. Not as a tumblr reference, as a genuine compliment. I had forgotten about the meme altogether, and her shoelaces were a pastel ombré of various pinks and oranges, with bronze aglets.

She smirked. I had fallen into her trap. She would later tell me at the register that she bought fancy shoelaces for every pair of her sneakers, for this very reason.

“Thanks.” she said, mischievously grinning, “I stole them from the president.”

I burst out laughing. She smiled triumphantly, and then the snort in my laugh made her laugh. My 40yo coworker looked at us like we were from mars.
