  • Imagine you’re in Photoshop “retouching” your own portrait. First, you remove the little bit of makeup that smudged near your eye. Fair enough. It was distracting. But now that it’s gone, your eye sees a wrinkle and decides that’s probably distracting too.

    Now the wrinkle’s gone and you’re studying the image again. Aha! A mole near your temple! That can go, too.

    So now the makeup smudge, the wrinkle, and the mole are gone. You study the image again for flaws…

    And that’s how it happens. Every time you “fix” something you re-evaluate and will always find something to change because your goal has slowly shifted from making you beautiful by reducing “distractions”, it’s to find and fix “flaws” which, turns out, are infinite when you take this approach.






  • Just remember that good relationships never end in breakups. So you’re mourning the idea of a successful relationship you thought you had or wanted to have (perfectly normal thing to grieve over!), but you can also celebrate that you’re now one major hurdle closer to the right relationship.

    It’s a fresh start and now you’re armed with a whole lot more knowledge about what your boundaries should be, what to look for (or out for) next time.

    Basically, the glass is half full! In fact, it’s more full than empty if you really take stock.


  • He convinced the government to subsidize the sale of his products to consumers. It makes sense on paper because we want more people driving electric cars. However, Tesla of all companies doesn’t deserve the “handout”, even though it’s to consumers. They don’t deserve the boost in sales, recognition, etc.

    It’s not technically a scam (the best kind!) but it’s helping out the richest man and biggest asshole in the world, so it might as well be.


  • I am so sorry for your loss. Peaches looks similar to our Wally, though he’s still a young dude I know the day will come. Please try to hold onto the simple fact that her life was awesome because she had you. It sucks having to go on without them but I’ve always tried to focus on the gratitude for getting to be there from the start to the end for them, and that they won’t have to suffer the loss of us.

    RIP Peaches, you fortunate angel.
