Simplicity

People act according to the way they experience the world. If you can understand their experience, you can understand their behavior.

Things worth having don’t come easy… You have to fight for it until you’re tired of fighting, and then you take a breather and fight some more…Don’t give up. You’ll regret it.

sexualities as doors:

So, I’ve been pulled over a few times in my life. Not many, but a few. And I’ve also been in a couple of cars that got pulled over. And let me tell you, if you were actually doing something wrong, the officer doesn’t make any small talk, just straight into “I clocked you doing 70 in a 55.” The only time I’ve ever gotten the “do you know why I pulled you over?” was the time when I wasn’t doing anything wrong, and I got let go even though he insisted to the end that I was doing 87 in a 70 (white privilege at work).

There are days that I cannot find the sun even though its right outside my goddamn window.

You’re not a bad person because you want to be yourself.

I recently complimented a girl on her hair. It was bright purple and so pretty. It looked great on her. Suited her perfectly. Her face lit up when my friend and I stopped her to say that her hair was pretty. Both Cheyenne and myself were in awe of how well this young lady pulled off her look. Btw, when I say young, I mean probably no more than 17 Y/O. But her fucking father…. he pulled on her hair showing us it was a wig and blurted out, “It’s not real.” I was so shocked. The look on this young woman’s face was of obvious embarrassment. And her father was clearly enjoying it. When the dad had lifted the wig I could see she had patchy regrowth from, I’m sure, an ailment (I won’t begin to guess). I could just see her pain and embarrassment. I could see the tears coming.

The tragedy of falling in love with someone is that the feeling may fade, but you’ll always love them… there’s going to be a piece of you that they’ll keep. Something you can’t get back, something you may not want back… the love will always be there… just not as strong.

Help me if you can. I’m feeling down, and I do appreciate you being around.
