This man has broken up & gotten back w you & cheated on you repeatedly (incl. the time when you found another woman’s underwear in his bed) But EYE am the bad guy for telling you he’s a terrible person & you deserve better? For telling you to either end it or stop venting to me about it? Okay.

Ordered pizza for delivery, but the driver had 2 orders and brought us a completely different order (fajitas and taquitos from another restaurant we like) So now we’re eating the wrong order while the right order is on its way at no charge I hope the other people got to do the same thing

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Desiderata
Max Ehrmann, 1927

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

I’ve been watching that Couples Therapy show and man. You really never know what kind of fucked up dynamics people have, or how much bullshit people come to tolerate Even the therapist goes to her therapist colleagues or her therapist mentor like “y’all. wtf. wtf do I do”

Let me say this clearly. If you believe the US was once a force for good, you have been successfully propagandized. The US has never been motivated by social good and has worked tirelessly for the opposite to benefit a handful of people you rarely see in the news.
