Single people should be situationshipmaxxing. Chase tails. Indulge in youthful dalliance. Flirt. Take fun seriously. Take seriousness lightly. Behind all that therapy speak about attachment etc. is fear of Eros, and paradoxically love only finds those who live full heartedly
You have 300-400 ovulations in your lifetime and they’ll try to convince you to freeze 10 forcefully matured eggs. Maybe your body would have never chosen to mature those 10 from their primordial state. The body is capable of making intelligent choices in ways tech cannot
Partner with someone who can regulate their nervous system, has sexual discipline, and who tells the truth even when it doesn’t feel good to hear. You cannot build a life with someone who sabotages their own.
Everybody knows—it’s a matter of public knowledge—that I’m a rascal: that I drink too much, that I sleep with too many women, that I—even people go so far as to say that I’m trying to commit suicide. Because Americans are terribly serious. They don’t understand certain things (that are understood in Europe and Asia) about the joyous life. They’re always wanting that everything you do is supposed to be “good for you.”
Now, life is bad for you. Jung pointed out—he was joking—he said: life is a disease with a very bad prognosis. It lingers on for years and invariably ends with death. And, you know, everybody, mental health, everybody is after you for your best interests. And I’m sick of being pursued for my best interests.
I don’t think people talk deeply enough about life before they get in relationships because the amount of couples who are incompatible as hell walking around miserable together is crazy. You cannot work through incompatibility, the only answer is breaking up
Sometimes your antagonist isn’t really the issue. It’s that “Keep the peace” head ass mofo that is really the poisonous one. That secondary that demands you lay down and accept poor behavior from others is really the opp. THAT’S the one you really shouldn’t trust. Watch THEM.
The part of “transformative justice” we often leave out is that sometimes you have to beat somebody’s ass. Jumping an abuser can also be part of the collective healing process.
If you haven’t told a man a lie today, do it. If you haven’t lied to a man in weeks, tell 2 lies. Call yo daddy and lie to him too. Gotta keep the playing field level.
@JenniferRoseNYC Yeah in Louisiana, licensed cosmetologists cannot use abrasives on a client’s scalp but I guess regulations are different in other places
IDKWNTHTB, you aren’t supposed to date narcissists. Yes, there are techniques/methods to help navigate their bullshit but if you can…LEAVE THEM. Break up. Block them. The goal isn’t to MANAGE them. The goal is to skedaddle.
The future is a concept — it doesn't exist.
There is no such thing as tomorrow.
There never will be because time is always now.
That's one of the things we discover when we stop talking to ourselves and stop thinking.
We find there is only present, only an eternal now.
