The wound is the place where the light enters you. – Rumi It’s the trials and the suffering that make the good times truly sweet. And it’s the trials that lead to the best times of your life (they may even be the best times of your life, whether now, without realising, or later, in reflection.
Is respect (and the anger caused by a lack of it) just in the eye of the beholder? How much unnecessary anger and frustration do people feel because they feel they don’t get this non tangible thing? That nebulous thing that is not quantifiable. This thing that is abundance in nature as much as Orange coloured unicorns are gigantic beefcake leprechauns?…
Is there anyway that saying ‘I’m proud of you’ isn’t even little bit selfish? If someone says ‘I’m proud of you’, what may be being expressed is that they are, even a tiny bit, responsible for your achievement or success. So it may, subconsciously, be not only making someone feel good that you think they did a good job, but the person who…

Camp Cope have a way of relating frustrating, annoying and sometimes shitty stories that are deeply personal to them, that girls (and guys) can relate to and they don’t seem to really give a shit about how much they reveal–about themselves, what people say or said, or do or did. The value of The Opener is that it tells the story…
One of the most common regrets of those in the final stages of their life is: ‘I wish I’d lived the life I’d wanted.’ That is, a life based on how you want to live it. Not how society, your family, your friends, your ‘friends’, or anyone else expects you should. In this scene from The Last Kiss, Izzy tries to…
Though the fun times in life can be cruisy and comfortable, it’s the challenges that make you who you are.
