My dad was friends with a crow that lived at his workplace for a few years while we lived in Bosnia, and one day Poe (as my dad named him) came up to him and started showing my dad that he couldn’t fly properly, like really exaggerating how he couldn’t fly. So my dad picked him up and put him in an open box and took him home to me and my mom.
Poe lived with us for a few days and acted like he’s been with people his whole life, even though he was clearly a wild crow. He ate from our hands and would hang out with us on the patio, and he even let me hold him (which was surprising, given I was about 3 at the time).
I watched the most charismatic guy at my office for a month. He does one thing nobody else does.
There's this guy at my job who everybody gravitates toward. Not the loudest person. Not the funniest. Not even the most senior. But every time he walks into a room, people shift their attention to him like he's got some invisible pull.
I started paying attention to what he actually does differently. And after about a month of just observing, I realized it's stupidly simple.
He remembers things.
Not big things. Small things. Tiny, almost throwaway details that most people let slide past them in conversation.
A new sales rep showed up for his very first client meeting wearing a polo.
The senior account manager looked at him like he’d lost his mind.
“You’re seriously going to meet a client dressed like that?”
The new guy opened his mouth to explain, then thought better of it.
“My bad.”
There wasn’t time to change, so we headed out.
The second the conference room door opened…
Every single person on the client’s team including the CEO was wearing polos.
My new girlfriend was changing clothes yesterday when I noticed this line on her lower belly. I wasn't sure what it was, and before I ask her about it, does anyone know what could cause a line like this?
🚨 We Were the Better Team-Proud of My Cape Verde Brothers:
“We played some really nice football out there-fantastic passes and great build-up from my teammates. We were the better team on the pitch against Argentina and gave absolutely everything we had.
In football, unfortunately, only one team can win, but I’m incredibly proud of this group. The fight, the spirit, and the heart we showed today was everything. We left it all on the field.
The future is bright for us-this is just the beginning!”
I was 12 when my father disappeared.
No goodbye. No explanation. One day he kissed my forehead before leaving for work, and after that... nothing. My mother worked three jobs to keep us alive. We cried, we searched, we prayed, but eventually everyone told us the same thing: "Move on." So we did. At least we tried.
How do people find it comfortable sleeping with their cousins?, I was at the field this morning and a dude was telling his friend how he slept with his cousins and rather than his friend condemning him he was just giggling with him for more gist of it.
My husband called me old, fat, and shameful, then locked me inside our flat so he could take a younger woman to his boss’s birthday party. Before midnight, one photo from his drawer started burning his whole life down.
I will not write my name.
Even now, my hands shake from shame…..
