Ignition

jerk, 

rocket booms

How many secrets 

hide in your room

Stories of malice

tendered and twisted

Slaughtering souls

You hate that

are gifted

Forsake i not

the clever catch,

Motorised in tidy batch

 Speakers announce

desired win,

For dreamers

are few and far between

This jaded world

 outside hence polished

damaged cells,

refuse acknowledge

Built by dreamers

Clutching clouds

Float on air

and scream out loud

We are unbreakable

This scribblings

and i

we'll sigh

with exhaustion

and loosen a tie

sedative skin

relax in our limbs

tease out

stranded words within.

The beauty of your own reflection

image by Zhornik

Beauty is your souls reflection

Celebrate within

Abolish self rejection,

Age with grace

A timeless mind

For imagination was never crime;

Dreams that lurk in secret caves,

Minds that travel beyond graves

And all the legends we mistook

The answer is;

Yes please

I accept my own reflection

Taming the Tornado: How to deal with a bad boy

image by Monoleso

Bad boys are hard work, and it's not as glamorous as you think it might be. This is a trick article? For women who specialise in 'dating the bad boy' or the ' I love those bad boys' syndrome. Tell us how low your self esteem is really. Let me guess. It's low, but you need to feel worse right, or if you can fix him it will prove your maternal validity and showcase your superiority as a woman. LET ME LET YOU IN ON A SECRET.

BAD BOYS DONT WANT TO GET FIXED.  They don't want you to improve them or mother them, or teach them how to respect their mothers and stop holding grudges against their friends.

They are bad boys and have these issues because they've been through a whole heap of mess, and this is their survival mode. They are always in survival mode. Their always on the hustle. When you go to dinner, as a lady you will have certain expectations, get ready for the bad boy to either begrudge having to fork out a dime during dinner or resent you later on. Be ready for some verbal and emotional abuse for little things like smiling at a guy whose just being friendly when he checks out every girl on the street.

Be ready to feel threatened when he selfishly checks out good looking friends who were never a threat to you before giving you a wide berth because either he's being overly flirtatious, acting too available, or just pretending like your not together in the first place.

Be ready for those deliciously booming feelings of self esteem when you start to feel like a booty call as he is completely self absorbed, and seems only interested in you and your life when your alone in his house and there's nobody else around. Be ready to get the fake 'I care' as you parrot on about your life until your out on the street, and some other hottie struts by, he'll probably care about her life when she takes her knickers off as well.

The illusion is that the bad boy will be guardian, protector, and somehow he will also be transformed into uber hubby. Noooooooooo. Hello, wake up time. Unappreciative, possessive, and a jealous partner doesn't mean a loving partner. A jealous partner means......That's mine, back away....don't play with my toys. It's that selfish kid in the nursery school who refuses to share any of their things with the other kids, in this one's case. They don't even want you to conversate. Socialise, connect,

Another thing is bad boys often don't want to get work or do the whole fake entrepreneur thing. I respect anybody that has the strength to work hard step up and be an entrepreneur a businessman, or just work to earn their keep, these things take discipline. Beware that you are not dating a guy that is completely undisciplined. Also, with a lot of bad boys it's bro's over ho's be ready to consistently be put on the backburner, you should be a priority. You should be relevant and significant enough to demand and command respect, so respect yourself. Avoid the drama of the bad boy.

How to snob a snob

image by pixie cold Wow what a title. We've all been there, were your going about your own personal affairs, and are constantly up against some snob who thinks their better than you. Looks down their nose, and takes the time to judge you, not even by commentary alone, but the old evil stare and the turn of the head with disgust. How do you snob a snob? My strategy is to communicate with everybody else,and simply keeping your distance. A nod, or a brief hello, will keep your conscience at ease, but when it comes to intense communication, laughter, jokes, time, give that to every body else. Snobs love to alienate people and feel as though the world should worship them, yet when you ignore a snob and make a point to not give them the time of day...despite their destructive energy. Snobs tend to seek you out, happen to walk past you a million times, be as loud as they possibly can,and some are just low saying any nasty thing they can think of about you. Suddenly the person they thought they were too superior to, is the person whose attention they begin to crave with an almost desperation. Watchout though ultimately this plea for attention may simply be that.....a dire plea for attention. Meaning you may not get a real friendship out of this person or will be in a scenario where your constantly guarding your tongue and your secrets, made to look at your life through a magnifying glass. Some people who appear to think their superior to you, are usually bitterly envious of you.

Their like rotten fruit, if you swallow their words they will make you sick.They are not happy people, and misery always loves company. The way to deal with a snob? Keep them outside of whats precious to you, and you dont have to shout it, scream it, or holler it, but make it clear not only do you think your the bees knees, and superior to their false often hypocritical morals and judgements, but your too good to contaminate yourself 'intimately' with someone whose scales are broken. Someone who needs to measure themselves against you to feel like their anything, your just happy living your life.
