I especially love being reminded of that kind of joy in a world that constantly bombards everyone with glamour and the "best this" and the "biggest that" and other kinds of fast, "get it now" kinds of "joy". Thank you for celebrating the slow and the every day :) 2019-02-19T08:25:33Z Comment by user826275499 smiling:-) Feeling the gratitude! 2019-02-18T21:26:53Z Comment by DrWex Hey Amanda, you use the word "ghetto" to refer to the kind of makeshift/make-do things that people with less (or no) money do and to some folk that's kind of insulting and a put-down. I know you've been there personally and I don't think you mean ill but it's a use of the word that some of my friends of color object to. Maybe there's another word that would convey what you want? 2019-02-18T13:25:33Z Comment by Sonia Randhawa I've changed nappies on studio floors, on moving buses (in India) etc, so I can totally relate! 2019-02-18T06:48:39Z Comment by Jann McKenzie Great ramble per usual. Especially interesting re: relationships. What I value most in a relationship is the willingness to commit to hanging in there even when it is uncomfortable and not so much fun. Respect and loyalty and steadfast commitment. Willingness to bend and to listen. And taking responsibility for your own shit. Good on you! 2019-02-18T03:55:10Z Comment by Llaura Sanacore Rubin ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 2019-02-18T03:10:18Z Comment by Llaura Sanacore Rubin ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 2019-02-18T02:56:56Z Comment by Propagandada Knock-knock joke: Person 1 - Knock-knock. Person 2 - Who's there? Person 1 - Control Freak... Now you say Control Freak who? 2019-02-17T23:52:14Z Comment by Dolly As far as the "control freak" term goes, when i was in a relationship with someone like that, i used to say, "He like's to be captain." Sounds wayyy better. You could also say Ringleader, chief, or even top dog. Oh, the possibilities... 2019-02-17T22:00:37Z Comment by Hz So Good Alas, golden handcuffs they might be for a short while, but there's no higher honor to be made show runner of a script by your own hand. 2019-02-17T20:52:32Z Comment by Paula Aamli ps that second comment was made at like 13 mins ish I'm not sure why sound cloud thought it was right at the beginning, like I'm prophetic about how the story was gonna go or something. 2019-02-17T20:34:40Z Comment by Paula Aamli that's a GREAT point to the story! Yeay for the mundane stuff. Yeay for the just liking it and each other. woo 2019-02-17T20:33:36Z Comment by lentower I suggest to everyone that they read "Good Omens", before they see the TV mini-series. 2019-02-17T20:31:00Z Comment by Paula Aamli wood floats! #eureka 2019-02-17T20:22:13Z Comment by DrFood Sorry, "Sweet Home Alabama" movie reference.... 2019-02-17T19:37:05Z Comment by DrFood You have a baby! In a bar! 2019-02-17T19:35:01Z Comment by David Levine 15 Yes, liking and being nice to each other is what endures. The idea that spouses have to be each other's "everything" (BFF, lover, soul mate, coworker, etc.) is BOLLOCKS!! 2019-02-17T19:28:15Z Comment by DrFood I would so love to trade bathtubs with you - it would be so cool to get my whole body underwater at once! 2019-02-17T19:27:23Z Comment by Ada_Sound Thank you for this honest report. It makes me hopeful that I will one day be able to enjoy a relationship and manage the work in involves with a feeling of groth. <3 2019-02-17T18:55:33Z Comment by Bob Bonniol I love that you charge at full speed toward EMOTIONAL LABOR. So many of us flee, but it is your currency. It makes me hopeful... Much love. 2019-02-17T18:37:19Z Comment by Amanda Blahey Good Morning Amanda! I truly feel this one. In the last couple months, knowing I'm turning 40 this year, I've been trying to notice moments. Moments that my love knows me SO well, moments where I find I could never live without him, and moments when I know I could be just fine alone. It's intriguing watching it work/not work/work for others :) 2019-02-17T18:23:19Z
