If you measure something’s worth by the pain felt when its lost, then it seems I was once in possession of a fortune.

Forget falling in love. If you’re not growing in love, you’ll just as soon “fall out” of love.

How the Logic of "Friendzoning" Would Work If...
*Man walks into a store and finds employee*
Man: Alright, I've had enough. Why haven't you guys hired me?!
Employee: Uh...well sir, when did you put in your application?
Man: I never filled out an application.
Employee: Well sir, we can't consider you for employment if you've never filled out an application.
Man: No, that's bullshit, because I've been coming here for years now, and every single time I tell you all how much I love this store and how much I appreciate your customer service, unlike some of your other customers might I add!
Employee: Well, but that doesn't-
Man: AND I even told you that I didn't have a job!
Employee: But sir, that doesn't indicate to us that you would like a job at our store. And again, if you've never filled out an application, we can't consider you. Besides, we're not hiring.
Man: OH! Not hiring, HA! What a laugh. I see your store go through seasonal workers all the time. They come and go like nothing, but you won't consider me as a part-time employee even though I KNOW you've been looking for workers to fill positions? That's insane!
Employee: Sir, we've been looking to hire a few people for management positions. Do you have any management experience?
Man: Well no, but what does that matter?
Employee: ...Well sir, that's what we're looking for. You won't be suitable for the position without management experience.
Man: Oh that's such a load of crap. You know, you'll be waiting around a long time for a manager if you don't lower your standards a little. Who cares if someone knows how to manage a store? I LOVE this store and I'm willing to work here, that's all that should matter to you.
Employee: That...doesn't make any sense.
Man: NO! I'm done. This is over. From now on, no more Mr. Nice Guy.
Employee:
Man:
Employee:
Man: Fuck you, slut.

God Be Knowin'
He knew that I would need to be here in this place, in this frame of mind. He knew how long it would take me to get to this place. He knew that I didn’t need this back then, when I was asking for it. When I missed it, He let me. When I prayed for restoration, He left me hanging (read: healing). He knew I needed to do without so I’d recognize what I needed when I saw it. When the...

My Problems
Sharing my burden can be a burden in itself. There was something comfortable about solitude. No need to explain me to me. No need to tell me to “just listen.” I had it down pat. I am overwhelmed.

thafourth:
I was mad going in to class today.. Not at my kids, but at the system that made them. The system that made them afraid to try. The system that made them afraid to fail. The system that has taken the learning out of art, and the inspiration out of learning. If nothing else I do in my…

#makebetterhappen
I LOVE READING…and today, my kids did, too! I’m a tutor/mentor in the 6th grade. Things often go awry. Kids get moody, or distracted, or are just disinterested.
BUT……
Today…everything just…worked! I try not to come in with my hopes too high because they rarely focus as much as you’d like, or get as far as you know they can but...

I'm Finishing My Statement of Purpose...
and this is hard. Its not necessarily hard because I have to do all this writing. I like writing, and writing about myself and my experiences is fun isn’t that difficult. However, I have to rewrite and reword. I have to take advice and accept criticisim. I have to delete. Sometimes its hard to swallow. I feel like I have personally been torn to shreds and am being glued back together. Most...

10 Things You Didn't Know About Rosa Parks →
theuppitynegras:
aninvisibleman:
1. Parks had been thrown off the bus a decade earlier by the same bus driver — for refusing to pay in the front and go around to the back to board. She had avoided that driver’s bus for twelve years because she knew well the risks of angering drivers, all of whom were white and carried guns. Her own mother had been threatened with physical violence by a bus...
