“You want me? Well baby you’ll have to work. NO short cuts NO way around it. You want me to be yours & only yours truly for 50 plus years & still together when we have our last days into rest? NO days off, NO sick days, NO vacation. Everyday you will work! NO excuses, NO self doubts, NO I wasn’t ready yet, NO I’m not over my exes, NO I’m not mentally stable to commit to a serious relationship with you, NO FEARS! Showing interest isn’t enough, you have to show your intent, know what you want, go after me with everything you have with everything you are, NO quitting! You have to match your energy with actions with the words you speak! It has to be persistent it has to be continuous, it has to be unconditional. Once you got me, you can’t stop there! Getting me isn’t even half of the work. You’ll have to work year after year, day after day, night after night to keep me, to keep our family! You’ll have to work every day for the rest of your days with me in a forever partnership. Because once you quit, once you stop showing you want me, & wanting to keep me…… I’ll realize that day probably well before you do. I won’t kid myself into believing it’ll change. I won’t tell myself we can make it, I won’t try to fix your screw ups or your area of lacking, wandering, by giving more of me! I gave enough! I give it all! I gave over the amount I had in me several times over and over again. It was all a waste in a huge distaste to myself left alone to feel the disgrace on my own! You’ll work for this; for me NO matter what! Can’t agree with this? THEN LEAVE ME THE HELL BY MYSELF BECAUSE I AM WAY BETTER OFF THAT WAY! Five years strong of being single, I’m not missing out on a damn thing. Make NO mistake YOU WILL! Come correct or don’t come at all! I know what I am worth! Not my issue that you don’t.”—Lathea Byrd(L.B.)

saying, “make me”, in hopes that you’ll grip my throat and whisper in my ear all the ways you’ll punish me later

Friendly reminder that while you’re out there enjoying your precious $12 organic cappuccino there are literally people without heads or whatever

Reasons I like subtitles:

1. I can see how people’s names and the cities and the countries are spelled.

2. I don’t miss any words, so everything they say makes sense.

3. I get to know what background noises and conversations are.

4. The descriptions of the noises people make are freaking awesome. Ex: splutter, grunt, chuckles.

5. I can see who says what.

6. I don’t have to have the volume super loud so I can hear the dialogue, and I don’t blow my eardrums out because the ambient noises and music is SO FREAKING LOUD.

I freaking love subtitles.
