" you're never just playing the villain or the crazy lady. "

-- annabella sciorra

yeah, sure, we ladies are composed. we're the beautiful ones. we're the ones that give the guys a reason to wake up. we're the ones who want the attention, the doting, the special treatment. what we fail to realize is that men deserve all those same things, maybe just not in the same way. since when did men understand women? since when did women understand women? we're not as simple as we pretend to be, we tend to become significantly more psycho after that first date. it'll only be a matter of time before all of the crazy catches up to us, the only thing that separates you from the rest is if you understand why the crazy entitlements are even there in the first place.

for centuries women have been fighting for equality. wonderful! I'm glad, but equality, not extremity. every now and then, is it too difficult for you to spare the hate text after your boyfriend ends a conversation early to hang out with his guys? is it necessary to get upset at how he doesn't quite know the most effective way to comfort you? is it really his fault if he leaves you alone if you tell him to when you're distraught? think about it. I'm all about a guy doing what he should be doing (and maybe a bit more) to reach personal expectations, but that's human nature. just don't forget your expectations for your significant other should also apply for yourself. it's not possible for you to have standards regarding another person and neglecting the idea that you need them for yourself too.

equality. goes both ways. and doesn't necessarily need to be a dark thing. it's quite possible to be equal towards another person and love each minute of it. think of it this way: if you make somebody aware of the fact that being completely content is necessary, how can't you guarantee it won't be reciprocated back to you? just wait. time is the best remedy to understanding.

out of this world man, I'm so sci-fi

" everything looks perfect from far away. "

-- postal service

usually people pick and choose what they want seen from far away, or the outside. it seems like the smarter thing to do..you know, keeping your dirty laundry in the fenced backyard rather than your wide, open front lawn. it's not necessary for people to know your petty problems or insignificant insecurities, but what about when they do? would you feel embarrassed? don't. unless of course you are the one who made the laundry dirty, you honestly need not feel lesser than anyone else. and even then, everybody gets their share of untidy doings.

everybody puts out a front. everyone. how many times have you been upset or known somebody else is going through tough times and their response is "I'm good! how are you"? there must be a reason for that to be an instant response for almost everyone. either way, you can't be dimwitted enough to not realize everybody has their fair share of troubles. how do you avoid becoming one? by acting like a human. sure, some people do deserve mistreatment since they themselves dish it out beyond reason; but others are honestly just misunderstood. how many times have you been in a fight with someone, and their qualities you normally love became qualities that add fuel to the fire? and how many times have you tried making up for it, because you figured out you're human, not perfect?

all you really can do is look at yourself and your own problems and open your mind; because everything does look perfect from far away, life is a lot better when it's not happening to you..but here's the spoiler alert: it's always happening and always will be.
