In French, you don’t really say “I miss you.” You say “tu me manques,” which is closer to “you are missing from me.”
I love that. “You are missing from me.” You are a part of me, you are essential to my being. You are like a limb, or an organ, or blood. I cannot function without you.

Let’s stop being the world’s police. That is not our job. We are sending our young men to die in conflicts that usually are good causes but really have nothing to do with us. The counties which are actually involved usually don’t want us there, either. Let them sort out their own problems.
We need to change the way we send aid to other countries. There either needs to be a clear agreement for reimbursement before we help or it should be a donation system where the American people can send whatever money they want (tons of supplies went to Haiti this way). Not for profit groups are also really good at helping other countries.
We need to focus on our own country for awhile. We need to start producing more goods and importing less. We need to spend less on helping foreign countries and more on fixing our own problems. Better, more affordable healthcare and education. Clean up the festering shit pile in Washington. Focus on protecting the integrity of our nation and paying back our debts.
But mostly the cleaning up Washington. Seriously. Fuck that shit.

But most of all, stop thinking that what people so loathingly refer to as the “friendzone” is some sort of purgatory women put “nice guys” into. My friendship is not a crappy consolation prize that you’re left with if I deny you a sexual relationship– and my body is not your reward for good behavior.

8AM
Develop out-of-doors hobbies
Learn to sew
Focus on my health by exercising
Make natural bath and cleaning products
Craft fun care packages and letters
Cook more often and pack most lunches
Take care of my body by cutting down on sugar
Love myself through my own eyes, not just his
Read a ton
Write write write
Be happy in my own skin
Keep busy
