4-8yr Olds Describing Love.

Tue, 21 May 2013 11:17:30 +0800

Rebecca, age 8: When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love.
Terri, age 4: Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.
Danny, age 7: Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.
Nikka, age 6: If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate.
Elaine, age 5: Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.
Chris, age 7: Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford.
Mary Ann, age 4: Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.

Hang on to a little chance, you bet I’m in.

“

Three times, she loved.
The first was a mirror.
At the start of their affair
she paid him kisses
and he answered in kind
in time, she gave him more
and more of herself
thinking he would break
his crystal limits
but the problem with loving
a looking-glass man
he could only return the favor.

So the second time she fell in love
she decided, no holding back.
She paid with her fire,
tendered him the torch of her heart.
Though he did accept,
she now wishes she had known
he was a rerun
of his past he talked and talked
about better days, ex-lovers and all
that her fire died cold
while still in his hands.

And though there was a third
he may not really count.
He was summer and rain
never did he give tired roses,
but bouquets of carnations,
surprise visits and conversations.
She would have told him
he was the love she had always desired
but when she reached into the pockets
of her once-glowing affections
she could but blush and fumble.
Empty. It seemed
she was all used up.

”

- The Three Times She Loved, A. C. Abad

Drunk-texting: The agony and the ecstacy | Young Star, Lifestyle Features, The Philippine Star | philstar.com:

I used to be really good at drunk texting.

At the core of every drunk text is the desire to change something and to change it quick. I’m pushing you to come over. Pushing you to get me out of here. Pushing you to stop being a jerk. Jeffrey McDaniel wrote in a poem, “On the scales of desire, your absence weighs more / than someone else’s presence,” and he’s right, isn’t he?

“later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered
where does it hurt? it answered
everywhere
everywhere
everywhere.”

The first thing Snape asks Harry is “Potter! What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?” According to Victorian Flower Language, asphodel is a type of lily meaning ‘My regrets follow you to the grave’ and wormwood means ‘absence’ and also typically symbolized bitter sorrow. If you combined that, it meant ‘I bitterly regret Lily’s death’.

Why Dove's "Real Beauty Sketches" Video Makes Me Uncomfortable... and Kind of Makes Me Angry

Sun, 21 Apr 2013 17:55:17 +0800

jazzylittledrops:

So this video started going around my facebook today, with about a dozen of my female friends sharing the link with comments like, and “Everyone needs to see this”, and “All girls should watch this,” and “This made me cry.” And I’m not trying to shame those girls! I definitely understand why they would do so. And I don’t want to be a killjoy. But as I clicked the link and started watching the video, I started to feel a slight sense of discomfort. I couldn’t put my finger on why that was, exactly, but it continued throughout the whole thing. After watching the video several more times, I have some thoughts…
