hi it's mandy are u still taking requests can u draw deancas with this comic reference thank u.

Dear men,

Perhaps it has gone unnoticed by you that I possess the ability to both read and retain information. Maybe you’ve glossed over the fact that I have a wide ranging vocabulary and can express myself quite clearly about a wide range of topics.

But if I walk in the office and say “Hey fellas, looks like the power company is doing some work out front.”, please don’t look at me and ask if I am sure. Yes, I’m sure. I read the words Electric and Energy quite clearly on the side of the truck.

If I ask for information on a project, don’t look confused and then condescendingly ask “Are you sure I didn’t give that to you already?” Yes, I’m sure I don’t have that piece of information. I’ve written papers in college where I had to cite a source for a single line of text, so I know if I have my information together and what information I’m missing.

In short and in closing, get over yourselves! It’s okay to admit you’ve made a mistake, forgotten something or don’t know the answer. No one is going to skin you alive for it.

Thank you,

some men don't need to say 'i don't respect you.' you just feel it every single day. there's a difference between a flawed man and a man who has decided you don't deserve his respect

entitlement in marriage doesn't look like a freeloader. it looks like a man who genuinely thinks he deserves everything and owes nothing. here's how to spot it.

Chapters 36 through 43

Chapter 36

“Let’s see–he gets very angry when things that would prove his existence are “brought back”

Of course, he want’s his existence to be hidden because it’s proof of his abuse. 

Chapter 37

“Why didn’t I? I knew the kind of things Heath is capable of.”

“She had thought Heath couldn’t come up with any terror for her that was worse than what he’d already done. How wrong she was.”

At least he’s coming up with new things. for once he’s being creative

Chapter 38

“After that, Katie grew more and more afraid to be around people.”

Of course she didn’t know what Heath would do. that’s why she was so scared

“Soon, Katie knew, the “gag” would wear thin.”

She’s worried she’d have to stop being friends with anyone if Heath stuck around. 

Chapter 40

“Katie experienced her thoughts and Heath’s as if they were TV channels being switched crazily around the dial.”

OF COURSE!! Heath is taking over her mind and she can’t handle it. And that’s a great connection that she made. 

Chapter 41

“Katie could see the skirt of the lacy white sundress covering her legs. I really hate this dress.”

I would hate that dress too. A white lace sundress I would hate the feeling of the lace. 

Chapter 42

“I made it, and now I’m going to be all right.”

Thank god she made it. This is what many don’t get to feel, but at least Katies good now. 

Chapter 43

“Had I actually heard the stories about he vicious boy whose motorcycle burst into flames and pushed them into the background of my memory, only to weave them into a fantasy of my own making?”

Why is she trying to make up that she might’ve known about Heath’s history. She doesn’t need to try to make up for it. 

“A girl who was afraid she didn’t deserve to have fun and to have friends.”

Chapters 29 through 35

Chapter 29

“Ghostlike– that’s how I look”
