Because it’s almost impossible to date someone who hasn’t already dated someone who hasn’t dated someone that you’ve probably already dated.
IT’S A VICIOUS CYCLE.
Truth.
don’t you love it when music makes you feel alive and human and real

- Okay so before I begin this post I suppose that I should put a trigger warning here if racial slurs are the sort of thing that set you off
- And I’m going to also give you a heads up that this post might make a few people who are following me rather upset and I apologize in advance for that because I’m definitely not the smartest person here and you’re welcome to remain unswayed in your opinion! That’s cool, don’t worry
- But I’ve been trying for months now to wrap my head around this notion that only white people can be racist in western countries
- And the further distinction that if you’re white, it’s racism, and if you’re a person of colour, it’s uh, prejudice
- Look I get what you’re trying to do by making that distinction
- But I guess I just don’t see the point in it in terms of the long run
- Someone previously explained to me that this distinction is made to give people of colour some equal footing since white people claim they’re victims of racism all the time and that somehow this weakens the so-called plight of us visible minorities
- I’m going to go ahead and look past the fact that this school of thought is actually rather condescending (at least, to me) in its implication that we apparently need all the help we can get
- I once had a fellow east Indian male try to stab me in an alleyway because he thought that, due to my rather apparent mix of British and Indian, I must have been from the Middle East
- And as he was threatening to kill me and calling me a “sand nigger”, really, the last thing on my mind was “Thank goodness this is only prejudice, thanks for solving racism, internet!”, and I doubt any white people in my position would have been thinking that either
- Splitting hairs to that degree doesn’t really fuel a good dialogue in our differences and I can’t see it being particularly helpful in the long run
- Of course, this is only my opinion and I definitely do not speak for everyone
- But, uh, here’s the thing
- Neither do you

This is not the language of a teenage girl,
this is the language of a big, dumb, disingenuous idiot.Maybe next time, instead of writing a cheat sheet for people to understand what the fuck you’re on about, just be sincere?
I don’t know; I’m just exploring some really groundbreaking sociological ideas over here.

Who cares if we’ll only last another week, another month, another year. I understand we might have an expiration date on whatever we got, but why not enjoy the day by day rather than what the future might hold?
I enjoy your company. I enjoy the current state of “us” and the fact that I can air quote “us” to myself while typing this. Don’t make it complicated because I don’t have the answers. I can’t reassure your mind that you and I are going to still be like this down the road. And its not fair to ask for it from me.
Stop worrying. Enjoy it. Enjoy our time together. Something might crack along the way, a thread could unravel, words can eventually hurt and emotions maybe will vanish. But you don’t see me holding a microscope looking for these cracks and loose threads in our relationship. You can’t bubble wrap this and put a stamp saying ‘Fragile’ across the container or look for something in order to prevent the inevitable.
Admire what we’ve made together day by day rather than what we could possibly break in the future.
I’ll say this to everyone I’ve ever dated
| doc: | are you sexually active? |
| me: | not with men. |
| doc: | you're too beautiful for that. |
| me: | you're too beautiful to be a doctor. |
| doc: | what does that have to do with anything? |
| me: | exactly. |
Fix your chronically late friends by going radio silent
Nicolas Kysak, writing on his personal blog Man with Zen, details a smart plan for dealing with your chronically late friends that largely involves ignoring them. Here are the basics steps:
- Be on time and turn off your cellphone (or put it in airplane mode) as soon as you arrive.
- Set a timer for 15 minutes and relax.
- If your friend doesn’t show up after 15 minutes, turn your phone back on and leave.
Eventually your friend is going to give you a call wondering where you are, as they’re late and you’re no longer there waiting for them. At this point you’re going to need to explain what you did and why you did it. From now on, if they want to spend time with you they need to make a concerted effort to be timely because you will not be answering their calls to hear their excuses. Yes, this is harsh but you’re enabling the behavior when you allow it. You have to be willing to say no.
I’m sure this would be highly effective in that your chronically late friends will end up dumping you for being a passive-aggressive ass. If timeliness is the most important thing about friendship to you, then go ahead and do this. If it’s not, then ovary up and talk to them directly.
As a recovering chronically late person myself, I can assure you that chronically late people do not enjoy being chronically late, are not late on purpose, and do stress out about upsetting and disappointing other people.
