pretty boy

karamo: hey beautiful! i just want you to know that it’s ok to want to be alone, but that doesn’t mean you have to be lonely. sometimes it’s easier to isolate yourself to avoid rejection, but we have to open up and be vulnerable to make lasting connections with other people

“I’m sorry… sorry I’m a badass.”

The first one tells her friends, “My son is a priest. When he walks into a room, everyone calls him “Father.”

The second Catholic woman chirps, “Well, my son is a Bishop. Whenever he walks into a room, people say, “Your Grace.”

The third Catholic woman says smugly, “Well, not to put you down, but my son is a cardinal. Whenever he walks into a room, people say, “Your Eminence.”

The fourth Catholic woman sips her coffee in silence. The first three women give her a subtle “Well…?”
