I am thinking the fall feed is on and the flatheads and blues are biting... A day on the river is imminent

You turd.

In the last weeks I experienced, disappointment, hurt and disillusionment in multiple areas.

This morning I had a bad fight with someone very important to me, I cried a few times.

Still, I decided to start the healing.

That I am no longer angry, because I still hold up compassion and universal love.

Last week, I was on a conference and one speaker gave a very touching lecture about empathy and the attack on empathy by the global right-wing movement.
He quoted an author, who challenges himself to write stories from the perspective of his hated antagonists. As soon as the author manages the task, he can no longer hate. He may disagree but he can no longer hate.


"Prior to all particular content, thinking is actually the force of resistance, from which it has been alienated only with great effort. Such an emphatic concept of thinking admittedly is not secured, not by the existing conditions, nor by ends yet to be achieved, nor by any kind of battalions. Whatever has once been thought can be suppressed, forgotten, can vanish. But it cannot be denied that something of it survives. For thinking has the element of the universal. What once was thought cogently must be thought elsewhere, by others: this confidence accompanies even the most solitary and powerless thought. Whoever thinks is not enraged in all his critique: thinking has sublimated the rage. Because the thinking person does not need to inflict rage upon himself, he does not wish to inflict it on others. The happiness that dawns in the eye of the thinking person is the happiness of humanity. The universal tendency of oppression is opposed to thought as such.
Thought is happiness, even where it defines unhappiness: by enunciating it. By this alone happiness reaches into the universal unhappiness. Whoever does not let it atrophy has not resigned."
(Adorno, Regression)

Sorry for your troubles. I do hope things improve for you soon. Take your time to heal and come to Lit and (hopefully) laugh some.

In the last weeks I experienced, disappointment, hurt and disillusionment in multiple areas.

I feel this as well. Overwhelming negative emotions from every direction.

Still, I decided to start the healing.

That I am no longer angry, because I still hold up compassion and universal love.

I am working on healing too. Not always easy, especially with how some people hurt you or disillusioned you, but working towards healing as well.

I am still angry and hurt at times, as I think thats natural when people mean so much to you. However, I understand lashing out in pain, so trying to be more understanding and apologetic, even if they would not do the same for me.

I am a good friend and I can only hold myself to my expectations, not everyone else.

Glad to see you healing and I hope it continues for you.

You are already supernova hot...

I will say this...my daughter went calico...red, blonde and black. I was worried...cause where we live isn't known as a hotbed of open-mindedness. But it looks great and her confidence has gone off charts. Shows how little I fucking know. So if you want to go blonde...go for it. 100%

I was blonde for yearrrrs and really didn’t transition back to brunette until about ten years or so ago. I like being brunette, but also just feel like it would be a nice change for a bit.

Baccarat Rouge is a really nice, ambery saffron scent with faint hints of sweetness that the Warm Vanilla Sugar brings out.

Would that really be a good idea though? Maybe if you could control it, but what if you forgot? You know there are people here who don't shop at Bath and Body Works
