I used to get panic attacks and be unable to function. If my bank account goes down,I feel like death. If I’m dating someone and they don’t call me back, I cry and assume it’s over. If someone who has power over me (money, jobs, opportunity) calls me on a Friday afternoon and just says, […]

My first memory is being beaten. I had taken a magic marker, snuck out of my house, and wrote all over the outside wall of my friend’s house. His mom called my mom (or dad, I forget) and the first thing I actually remember is being hit. I don’t remember anything good from that day. […]

Aubrey Marcus’s step-dad invented an artificial vagina. His step-dad’s pregnant wife wasn’t having sex with him. This made him very unhappy. So he refitted a flashlight with some wet, spongy thing and called it a “fleshlight”. I love this story because it takes something that felt very upsetting to me for some reason and made […]
You know who you are. I hired you/helped you/made you money/supported your efforts/donated to your charity/paid your rent/whatever. Then, when you had a chance, you trashed me. I wrote to you, “why?”…
You know who you are. I hired you/helped you/made you money/supported your efforts/donated to your charity/paid your rent/whatever. Then, when you had a chance, you trashed me. I wrote to you, “why?” Or I wrote, “I can’t believe you did that.” That was my mistake because you were never going to apologize. I never heard […]

I tried to teach my kids how to fly a kite. To fly a kite you need a wind going against you. The pressure against the wind cause it to rise. Success is a constant battle against that wind blowing against you. So forgive yourself when the kite falls. Pick it up. Wind up the […]
