Chivalry is not dead.
While you’re catcalling and being a generic player, the chivalrous gentleman to your left just got a girl. Oh — you thought that was your girl? No, if you’re a player you don’t get to claim her. See, he’s telling her she looks nice today and making her feel special and you just told her she looked hot and thew out some other generic slang. How charming. While he asks how she’s been and listening, you ask and then text that other girl. The one on the side. The one who thinks she’s the only one. The one who matters just as much as the one you’re ignoring now. You see, chivalry is not dead. It is asleep. And honestly, I...
Read MoreThis is why you can succeed.
I truly believe that if you believe in yourself, you can find a way to make something possible. If you believe in your creativity and strengths, you can create a possibility. Sometimes it takes research and sometimes it just requires willpower and dedication. For example, if you decide you want to create a substance that will enable you to holographically project yourself in multiple places while you sit at home and watch a few screens showing what each of the projections sees, go ahead. Figure it out. Chances are good that either you can study holographics and videography and then (eventually) figure out a way to project yourself in multiple places at once....
Read MorePoison Death.
In my 16 years of living, I have met thousands of people. Some of them, I bonded with. I like connecting with people. Relationships are very important to me. However, if someone is hurting me, no matter how much I care about them, that kind of behavior is unacceptable and won’t be tolerated. Okay, you have an orchid. One orchid. It is your very favorite orchid and you love it above all else. Someone comes up and waters your orchid with gasoline. Wow, rude. Well, maybe they’ll stop. Oh — no, they didn’t. It’s become a monthly thing…then weekly…then daily. What are you gonna do? Are you gonna be calm and invite...
Read MoreDear ladies, being a lady isn’t overrated.
Okay, I’m a girl. I often find myself ignoring the stereotypical things it takes to be a lady. By that I mean, I’m not the best mannered, I dress how I want to and that means wearing anything aside from jeans and a sweatshirt as minimally as possible, and I don’t like pink or pastels. See, I love it when guys are kind and generous and thoughtful and selfless and all that, but I’m a generally stubborn and impatient person. I can open the car door myself, why would I wait for you to do it? I can hold the door for you, please don’t be offended. I can walk with you, you don’t have to drop me off. I can open these things myself and carry...
Read MoreI fear change. (Also people.)
Wow, I really hate new things. New things absolutely blow up my anxiety. I fear new opportunities and I fear new situations. However, I fear failure and I’m scared of the idea of missing something drastically important in my life just because I was afraid. So I usually end up going with whatever it is and dealing with the crippling anxiety that goes along. Instead of worrying about the opportunity however, I begin worrying about the humans I’ll be interacting with as a direct result of saying yes and acting fearless. You see, I fear humans because (since I am one of them) I know what they’re capable of. I know what they can think, how they can feel,...
