Little Body Big Heart

"I didn’t set out to start a revolution, I’m not politically eloquent enough to do that, and I’m also not going to over-estimate the clout of my job. I’m a fucking songwriter, I’m an entertainer; we’re not heroes. The teachers and the doctors and the paramedics and nurses, they’re the heroes. But, when a song connects and it makes people’s day better, or it stops them from driving their car off a bridge - which is what happened with ‘Dead Boys’: some guy was gonna run his car off the road and kill himself, then he heard ‘Dead Boys’ and he heard me talking about it on the radio and that stopped him. When things like that happen, I’m like, ‘Wow, maybe this actually has a bit more clout than I thought it did, and maybe this isn’t as vacuous as I thought it was.’ That is wonderful. When them things happen, when songs connect in that way, it’s like actually, fucking hell, as corny as it sounds, the power of music is fucking incredible. And that is something that I am buzzing about, and that’s what I’ve learned from this so far: there is a lot of good that can come from this. So yeah, I’m going to carry on following the tradition of not coming up with any answers and just be an anarchist."

Even if you’ve hurt other people in the past, or have been the kind of person that you really don’t respect, you can always make the decision to change. The tips below might be helpful for this.

1. Look for the good in everyone you meet.

2. Remind yourself of this: “That it’s not all about you”. The feelings and the wishes of others matter too.

1. Don’t listen to the voice inside your head that tells you that you are inadequate.

2. Don’t hang out with people who look for the flaws and can’t see the best in the people in their lives.

3. Recognise that each person is different and unique. There is no-one like you - and you have great attributes.

4. Take note of your efforts, and the progress you have made. You’ve already come far. You should celebrate that!

5. Appreciate others, and what you gain from them. Don’t see them as people who undermine you.

6. Remember that NO-ONE is perfect at all - and that other people struggle with the same stuff as well.

Happy National Siblings Day!

BISHMONT HAS STOLEN MY HEART AND THERE’S NO GOING BACK

Last review I expressed some doubts as to why Diana said, “I love you” to Matthew. It felt too soon. It felt like too much. And I just couldn’t process it all or understand how Diana knew that she loved him after such little time. The answer is that she’s a certain AF person. When Diana wants something, when she feels a powerful connection with someone, she’s honest about it. And this honestly isn’t based on the fact that Matthew is her Prince. It’s based on empirical evidence.

Diana loves Matthew because he respects her. Diana loves Matthew because he isn’t perfect. Diana loves Matthew because he stood by her side while dealing with Knox. Diana loves Matthew because he sees her and he allows her to see him. They are the ying and yang, the death do us part, and the ride or die for each other. And there’s no going back, no take backsies, no control alt delete. This is who Diana loves and if she’s certain about it, who am I to judge her? Hell, I’d love to be as certain as Diana is. It would be the kick in the ass that my anxiety needs for sure.

Ok, onto more Bishmont since my hesitations about the “I love you” are right out the window!

#Bishmont is practically married now. That scene in the courtyard. Those words. The way the looked at each other. The promise they made to each other. It’s permanent. It’s forever. And it’s too people being certain that the bond that they have is something that will not break or wither no matter what obstacles or time passes. And honest to God, it’s so damn beautiful.
