General Idea to put into Consideration

jhnmyr:
If you want to be truly intimidating,
If you want to make an impact,
If you want to have strong connections with others
just be sincere.
Sarcasm is not an attitude, and it’s not a personality trait. It’s a style of rhetoric meant to be used occasionally to highlight a larger point. Saying…

The Boy in the Beanie
In response to my constant inspiration spurred by my two favorite authors, I write my own of the same title, “Boy in the Beanie”:
It is refreshing, to say the least, meeting new parts of you at every conversation, every drunken argument, every different country’s McDonalds. You can’t handle anything too spicy, and you always like what I order better. Thank you for...
So, how does this work?
It isn’t like, you know, categorized. It isn’t actually categorized like “love life”, “work life”, “home life”, “thug life”. Its actually just one category: life.
