If I can eat free rich people food, turn fashion into protest, and make the white landowners sweat cause they know I'm coming for their cattles, you can bet imma do it! 🍰

I'm just mad the dress looks the way it does. I mean, it isn't ugly? But, idk. There is so much you could do. So much could have been done.. There are infinite ways to design a beautiful outfit that makes a powerful statement and this one just kinda feels like it missed the mark. Not at all satisfying considering what it could have been.

yeah i love romance (the insatiable longing for god)

I want there to be a higher purpose, but the best I can find is poetry. Nice people, good deeds, plants, animals: these are the earthly things in which I find "God". Visible perfection. Palpable beauty.. Science. Evidence you can hold in your hand and marvel at. I want to beleive in God, but I resent the church and I resent that I'm expected to believe based solely on faith. Suns, stars, outer space: these are the only Heaven. Not a bad thing. A wonderful thing. Still, I can't help feeling like by failing to be able to buy into a religion, I'm missing out on some sort of magic that would make life better or easier.

I want to beleive there's a reason why things happen, but I'm content to find God in art and leave worrying about whether or not there really is one for right before I go into surgery.

this is good

I’d just like to add, see how they behave when they’re angry/frustrated/exhausted, and if you see something that concerns you, wait until they’re calm, and then talk to them about it.

My husband used to yell when he got frustrated, but after I explained to him that I found it upsetting, he stopped yelling and started consciously working on asking for help before he got to that level of frustration.

When I’m upset over something, or just in a bad mood, I tend to withdraw. My husband explained to me that it makes him feel like I’m mad at him, so now when I need some space, I’ll tell him what I’m upset about, or that I’m in a bad mood for no particular reason, and I need to be alone for a little while.

See your friends and partners at their worst, but don’t assume that their worst is immutable. If someone loves and cares about you, they’ll try to accommodate you to the best of their ability.

^^^^ This is the best advice I’ve ever seen on this site, and it is so important. Communication is everything, and is 80% of the reason my husband and I have such a healthy, strong, and supportive relationship.
