5 Things You Should Know About People
By Ryan O’Connell of Thought Catalog
1. People want to be loved. Whether it’s by their family, friends or a lover, we just want someone to make us feel safe and important. Otherwise, we’ll feel like we’re broken in some way. We’ll blame ourselves for being alone when everyone else seems to be with someone. We want human touch, we want “I love you”‘s, we want to come home after work to...

Somebody decided to make the world just a little bit more interesting, and three red swings appeared on the BART Public Transit System in San Francisco for the public to enjoy.
this looks like too much fun!

I want to find these.
Must find these swings on my daily commute!

We & Them.
timirose:
They just leave. They always leave. Without any trace, without any explanation. & in turn, we make all of these silly excuses for them. Maybe they’re just too busy. Maybe they’re going through too much to make any kind of commitment. Maybe it’s just part of their nature… that they’re all like this. They lie. They cheat. They need excitement all of the time because the chase is all...

melmyfinger:
You can, in the meantime, strive to be genuine, lovable and honorable.
Because at the end of the day, another person’s heart will decide how it feels on its own terms, on its own time.

Eventually we’re all going to end up losing people close to us. We’ll cry at times & hate ourselves for letting them go. But then, you’re going to meet a hand full of people who will never leave you, no matter what. They’ll go through everything with you & sometimes they’ll know you more than you know youself. They’ll make you laugh when you cry & show you the brighter side of...

Actions Speak Louder than Words
About four years ago, while the rest of my friends were figuring out where they were going after graduation, I was the lost one. After being rejected from every school but my backup, I was waiting for the day that I would find out from the last school on my list, my only hope, and my top choice - UC Berkeley. When I found out that night that I didn’t get in, I was extremely devastated and...
Event Mode
I know that I’m back into event mode when I’m still thinking about logistics, details and budgets even when meetings are done, when I stay an extra 30 minutes to hash out more ideas and details after a meeting finishes at 10pm, when I just want to open up Word or Excel and create schedules and spreadsheets galore, when I still want to do work even after a long day.

Friendship

myserendipities:
“Friendship is devolving, in other words, from a relationship to a feeling—from something people share to something each of us hugs privately to ourselves in the loneliness of our electronic caves, rearranging the tokens of connection like a lonely child playing with dolls. The same path was long ago trodden by community. As the traditional face-to-face community...

I won’t ramble too much. Most stories are the same. I just want to tell you what I notice now that I’m stable. — Here’s me: At age 18 I was a drug mule and got busted on my first trip. My first time, but the amount (marijuana) was enormous and I got 4 years. First two years out, I had some bad luck with roommates; got robbed so much by...

Guarded
When it comes to having your guard up, it definitely applies to more than just relationships. Some people have their guard up when it comes to friendships and working relationships too. I think I’ve always naturally had my guard up, but I saw myself putting it up more and more in the last few years. Maybe it’s something that is needed in the industry I am in because you can’t...

Recently I was at a convention with my friends, eating lunch, and then a man, in his early twenties, ran up to us asking if we had a spare tampon. We didn’t, and saw him run off to all the other girls in the room, asking them, since his girlfriend needed one. I don’t know a man who would do that for me. His love for her GMH.
How many guys would actually do this? Very few to none.

1. You are not a victim. No matter what happens to you, don’t take the pussy route and blame the world for your misfortune. If you were sexually assaulted, verbally abused, etc and lived to tell about it; take your pain and help those who need it. Writing emo poetry isn’t going to solve anything. 2. Invest in your education first, your looks second....

Change
On the wall above my bed, I have a bunch of pictures - memories that make me smile, friends that have impacted my life and are a large part of my life, big events in my life. It’s something that I started back in high school a few years ago and I had been adding and changing pictures here and there, but I stopped three years ago and it’s been untouched.
I’m not really sure why...

It has been a rough year darling. The ethereal power of Craig�s List will get this message to you I am sure, like in some sort of cheesy 80s movie. Well back to the last year, you of course died at the beginning of it which put things to a sour start. I spent last night with your mum and dad, we went to that Italian place in...

My senior year, I was the only girl in one of my classes and was always teased by them for it. I still baked for every one of them on their birthday, expecting nothing back. My birthday was the last in the class. I walked in that day to 17 boys holding plates of cookies. They each baked for me, without talking to each other about it. Those boys GMH
