It bothers me so much when people say “girls look terrible without makeup”.

Are you aware that human females successfully attracted and mated with human males for thousands and thousands of years before makeup was even invented.

yeah, and we lived for tens of thousands of years without antibiotics.

But god damn if I don’t love me some Zithromax.

When does this person think make up was invented? Make up’s history is pretty extensive.

Haha.

Irrefutable

Having their personalities determined by their past if for the weak-hearted.

“Joey felt that his romance with Daisy might ruin his life, but that didn’t stop him. He liked the idea in fact. It had been a long time since he’d felt his life was in danger of further ruin, and it was fun to think it was still possible.”

Would we care about people around us just as much if there was no concept of death?

Sometimes I honestly wonder how my mother got around to being such a loving and caring person. I know our generation puts a lot of emphasis on how our parents are responsible for everything that we are and nearly all psycho analysis traces back to the childhood, but I have noted more times than I can count that children are at times absolutely nothing like both their parents when it comes to personalities, talents or even idiosyncrasies. And by ‘nothing like’, I don’t mean that they are the opposite, it’s not that easy. They exist on a different dimension altogether.

I know almost everyone believes their mothers are the nicest beings and maybe they if measured up against other individuals in their life, but I haven’t seen anyone’s mother be so conscientiously devoted to understanding their children and wanting to have her outlook at things evolve with her children as I have with my Mom. I have barely ever seen her snap. I can’t even remember the last time she felt the need to raise her voice or say something snide. She is the kind of person who just LOVES (and I mean genuinely love) everything that I do and she wants to be there and be fully supportive of all that I do, no matter what it is. I can’t ever imagine someone wanting and trying so hard to understand me every step of the way.

I think it’s a miracle to have her in my life. Even as an individual. And especially as a mother.
