Equivalent Exchange. In order for something to be gained, something of equal value must be lost. In order for half of life to thrive, half must die. “I will be the leader of this country. I am inevitable.”

“Be happy for the little things in life that require less to no reason at all. Smile because the weather is cheerfully warm. Smile because you had a pleasingly healthy breakfast this morning. Smile because you’re listening to some of your favorite new songs on repeat. Smile because you’re watering pretty flowers just to keep them wonderful. Smile because happiness is simply the thing that inevitably happens when you practice being grateful.”
— juansen dizon, Happiness for the small things

If you and your partner practice frequent, non-sexual consent, your relationship will be healthier and easier.
“Are you comfortable with me ranting about my day for a few minutes?”
“Oh, this is your poetry? Would it be okay if I read it?”
“Do you mind if I use your phone for a few minutes?”
“Wow, your meal looks awesome. Could I try some?”
It will save a lot of grief, especially in a developing relationship. Eventually, with consistent “yes’s” and “no’s” you can figure out more permanent boundaries and guidelines.
“I need to ask before ranting about my day or taking their food, but my partner is okay with me using their phone whenever. However, my partner does not like me reading their poetry unless they offer first.”

Under appreciated brilliance in Legally Blonde: when an innocent woman on trial for murder learns that her lawyer (“the top defence attorney in the state”) sexually harassed one of his students—the same student who had been kind to her, believed in her, and refused to share the alibi she’d been told in confidence—causing her to decide on dropping out of law school in distress, said innocent woman decides to risk prison by firing the TOP DEFENCE ATTORNEY IN THE STATE to whom she has paid a fortune and have said law student defend her instead, in order to prevent her dropping out of school and giving up on a promising career. This decision is supported by the law student’s ex boyfriend’s fiancé, and the presumably long term colleague of the offending attourney who is a partner in his firm and thus would have clear motives for disbelieving or dismissing the report of harassment, but does not.
Elle is believed, her harasser faces immediate consequences for his actions, and she is rallied round by a group of friends, coworkers, and even a teacher (“If you’re going to let one stupid prick ruin your life, you’re not the girl I thought you were.”) who go out of their way to support her and ensure that the harassment she faced does not destroy her future—even when an innocent woman has to put her own freedom on the line to do it.

Lilo and Stitch presenting an accurate representation of Hawaiians perspective on luaus held by tourists.
#what’s sad about this is that this is actually what Hawaiians had to do when the western culture took over #a luau was a sacred practice #until the westerners took the concept and had the audacity to change it into a time to stuff your face with food and put on grass skirts and coconut bras and dance the hula #and when they had these events, they didn’t even let actual Hawaiian people in #so to make money to take care of themselves, the Hawaiians were hired to work in these disgraceful events to clean up after the tourists like slaves only to make less than a buck #so good job disney for doing your fucking research and educating these people #sadly, this still goes on even until today and it makes me sick

your voice is my favorite lullaby,
your laugh a thousand instruments playing in harmony
and your arms
a warm embrace I call home.

Was it true?
Did you mean it
when you said,
“I want you to be mine”?
Or maybe it was just a ruse,
just you playing fast and loose.
Was it true?
When you said,
“you deserve the moon”?
Or was it all just mind abuse?
#was it true#was it even real#was it me?#spilled ink#word vomit#divinitive thoughts#poem#my poetry#bad poetry#bad poem#spilled thoughts#spilled words#spilled poetry#spilled writing#poets#emotional abuse#abuse#wordgasm#sad#my words#i love you

the real glo up is when you accept everyone for who they are and you accept yourself for who you are and focus your energy on enjoying life and making the best of every moment instead of looking around at everyone else’s life with envy and self loathing
