I Smile At StrangersWhen you come down to it, giving a smile costs you less than nothing - it softens your heart and brightens your day right along with theirs.
I Am Going to Say Something ControversialThere's more and more of a divide growing between people who want to shine a light on how bad racism, sexism, homophobia and other forms of discrimination still are in this country, and take strong, decisive action to do something about it even if...See More »
I Have Random ThoughtsI've never understood the idea of fighting your tears. Yeah, crying can be debilitating for a little while - but you people who cry easily have no idea how much more debilitating it is to feel so incredibly sad, and not fight your tears at all, but...See More »
I Can't Please EveryoneNo matter who I am or what I do, there will always be people who don't like me. But that doesn't matter. What matters is being a good enough person that I can confidently say that no one has a *legitimate* reason to dislike me. I'm not sure if I'm...See More »
I Fell Asleep In Class OnceIt's worse than that - I once had a classmate tell me that the teacher had been making fun of me for lightly *snoring* in class. Needless to say, I managed to avoid falling asleep in class after that.
I Want Super PowersI've always fantasized about having the power from Groundhog's Day (and about a dozen other movies/shows/books) where you repeat the same day again and again, but you remember everything and get to keep all the knowledge you gained. Except in my...See More »
I Love Driving AroundIt's relaxing. Just me, my thoughts, the scenery, and some music if I'm in the mood.
I Know There Are Good People In This WorldWhen bad things happen, especially when those things are senseless and happen to innocent people, it's tempting to see the world as a dark and ugly place. I won't deny that plenty of darkness and ugliness exist, but the truth is that for every...See More »
I Am Both a Dog and a Cat Person [Cats]We always had cats growing up, but my best friend for most of my childhood always had dogs. What I learned in that time is that both are made entirely out of fuzziness, awesomeness, woofs, meows, and love.
I Live In the UsaI may not agree with everything our military does - not by a long shot - but you've got to respect a group of people who knowingly risk their lives and dive headfirst into horror that leaves marks deep enough to linger for a lifetime, all for the...See More »
I Have Been ElectrocutedA friend of mine was throwing a light rave-esque thingie in the area (I live in an area where people usually have to drive out to the city for things like that, so he was trying to fill the void, so to speak, by throwing something local). A bunch of...See More »
I Am Always Improving MyselfWhat negative stories do you tell yourself about about who you are and what you're worth? What would happen if you stopped ignoring the other half of those stories?
I Love a Good Quote"Until I see another's behavior with compassion, I have not understood it." - David Richo
I Have Forgiven Those Who Have Hurt Me In The PastI work on this every day - not because they deserve it, but because I do.
I Have Been Told I Look Younger Than I AmI worked with a lot of late teens/early twenties people at my last job, and aside from a few I specifically told, none of them ever knew that I was 10 years older than them. There are parts of my personality that are pretty damn old, but other parts...See More »
I Am Trying to Break My Bad HabitsHating yourself and beating yourself up over something doesn't mean that you've actually done something about the thing you're beating yourself up over. A lot of the time, beating yourself up about something is actually a way of AVOIDING doing...See More »
I Am Trying to Break My Bad HabitsThis is for people who truly, adamantly believe that they're too weak to improve their lives and reach for real happiness: You tell yourself that you're not strong. You tell yourself that you're weak. I'll bet that you hold onto those stories...See More »
I Am Against All Forms Of AbuseTo all the people who stay in bad situations for their kid's sake: The thing about kids is that they learn a lot more by what you do then by what you say - if they see you sitting in unhappiness and not doing anything about it, then they'll grow up...See More »
I Don't Like To Play Relationship GamesThe way a person approaches you tells you a lot about them. Do they bat their eyes and try to impress you, or pull away whenever you reach for them, or make a point of talking to the person next to you when it's obvious they actually want to talk to...See More »
I Will Not Be Involved With Toxic PeopleNo matter what they say, the story underneath it never changes.
I Like People I Can Relate ToNo, I actually like people who I have nothing in common with and can't relate to at all. I love awkwardly sitting around not having anything to talk to them about - it's neat. But yeah - I like people who I can relate to.
I Love "Veronica Mars"This is one of two shows that I discovered in the last 5 years that has absolutely sucked me in like a vortex and never let me go. Everything about this show is perfect. Even the imperfections just make the show better. Veronica is SUCH an awesome...See More »
I Find Psychology InterestingPsychology is really flawed. It gives people excuses to vilify each other and themselves, it tries to label and put boxes around everyone and everything. It gives us excuses to sit still, or to be a jerk to people. But it also gives us tools for...See More »
I Think Laws Should Be Harder On People That Hurt AnimalsThe kinds of people who are actually okay with hurting animals aren't going to be happy-friendly-kind to people either. That kind of destructiveness is never limited to just animals, even if the person hides it well most of the time. So - I'm not...See More »
