Thrown with Great Force
Welcome to the dumping ground for all my random thoughts and strokes of genius. Tread carefully.
P.S. The title comes from a Dorothy Parker quote. "This is not a novel to be tossed lightly aside. It should be thrown with great force."
Replace "novel" with just about anything else and you've got yourself some damn good words to live by.

In the contest of “Who has the best life” everyone has a shortcoming in their own mind.
There seems to be a kind of order in the universe, in the movement of the stars and the turning of the earth and the changing of the seasons, and even in the cycle of human life. But human life itself is almost pure chaos. Everyone takes his stance, asserts his own rights and feelings, mistaking the motives of others, and his own.
You cannot protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness.

Being a girl is HARD.
1 day agoThe first irrational crying jag in front of your boyfriend is always an interesting experience. The way a man handles his girlfriend having a bad day and watching her tear up/laugh and cry at the same time is a good indicator of how good a person he is. MM passed with flying colors (feel sorry for the guy, I’m a handful) and I’m blaming the time of the month.
Tips: never, ever tell a woman to just calm down when she’s crying and never, ever act like she’s overreacting. She’s crying for a reason, let her have her moment — just be sweet.
She will chase you around for awhile but there’s going to come a day when she’s gonna stop and get over you. At that moment, you’ll wish you had let her catch you.
Better plan? Don’t chase boys. They always want what they can’t have anyway.
