Bring it on.

THE FIVE YEAR RULE.

WHENEVER YOU’RE IN ANY TYPE OF SITUATION, GOOD OR BAD, ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION: IS THIS PERSON OR EVENT GOING TO MATTER IN FIVE YEARS? SAY IT’S A FAMILY MEMBER’S WEDDING WHO REALLY MEANS SOMETHING TO YOU THEN YOU SHOULD OBVIOUSLY GO TO THAT EVENT BECAUSE IN FIVE YEARS TIME YOU WILL SAY TO YOURSELF “I SHOULD HAVE GONE TO THAT”. IF SOMEONE IS GIVING YOU A HARD TIME AND THEY’RE NOT THAT IMPORTANT TO YOU THEN JUST LET IT GO. IT’S NOT GOING TO AFFECT YOU AS MUCH AS YOU THINK AT THE END OF THE DAY. IT WILL FEEL BETTER TO GET AWAY FROM THAT TYPE OF NEGATIVITY AND JUST CONCENTRATE ON THE POSITIVITY. ALTHOUGH IT SOUNDS REALLY SIMPLE, IT CAN BE HARD THING TO KEEP IN MIND AND DO. AT THE END OF THE DAY IT’S HELPED ME TO LET GO OF ALL THE PETTY THINGS THAT DON’T REALLY MATTER TO ME AND JUST MADE ME PAY ATTENTION TO THE IMPORTANT THINGS AND THE PEOPLE THAT I LOVE. IT HELP ME FIND SO MUCH MORE HAPPINESS IN MY LIFE.

This not only mirrors so much of what’s happening in America, but feeds right into the complex relationship between Spiderman, the authorities and the media. 

Peter Parker is a brilliant student, awkward, a nerd, but is branded a thug, a gang member, a criminal, because of his appearance. The media latch on to that and misrepresent him totally.

okay so i’m reblogging this again because in my night class tonight my professor said that it seemed like the impact of the election wasn’t hitting our class as hard as some of his other classes. before i read this aloud i said: “if any woman [which was most of the class] in this classroom does not feel this shit in their bones, raise your hand.” 

not a single hand went up. 

and i don’t think i will ever forget how i felt seeing that empty air, not ever.
