“I’m not losing my mind. I’m just finding it in places that don’t exist.”

As a kid, when you see people you know get married you don’t like it because you have to dress up and sit in a church and watch them stand up there for a long time. As a teen you find it more romantic and you’re happy for them and you enjoy the festivities. As a young adult you find it strange that your friends are getting married and having kids when you’re still just watching from the audience and saying “isn’t that nice.” You start to feel a sense of love, a sense of loss, a sense of urgency. You notice you’re not young anymore, and then you talk to someone who is even older than you and in the same position. They talk like they are supposed to catch the bouquet because they are older, and you still have time because you’re just a baby at twenty-something. You believe them for a second, and then you remember it’s not a race… but getting a head start is never a bad idea.
Why do people stereotype the word “stereotype?” Not all stereotypes are bad. That mindset just seems so stereotypical to me.
“It’s all there, you just have to [close your eyes to] see it.”
“Why do politicians never answer with a straight yes or no?”
It’s not that they want to explain their answer; they want votes. So if you answered “yes” or “no,” more people may agree with you, but more people may disagree with you. And if you’ve ever been on the playground, you probably remember the one kid who pushed you down or made fun of you once, once; and not the countless times other kids helped you out. Yes, politics is a bit like an elementary school popularity contest, and the one kid who doesn’t disagree with anyone ends up being the most liked.
I love it when people watch a zombie movie or something of the sort and say “that’s unrealistic. Everyone knows zombies are colorblind.” or something dumb like that… you know the whole concept is unrealistic, right?
You know what tastes bad? Anything after you’ve brushed your teeth.
Why do you eat immediately after you brush your teeth?
Why do you ask questions you know I’ll just avoid?
Why does the answer not matter anyway? I know you’ll just lie about it.
But I never do.
Because you always dodge the question.
Your point?
You’re on a treadmill.
You turned it on. I’m just running.
I bet you’re good at dodgeball.
I bet you’re good at throwing things.
