  • Those little comments can really be amazing for your short-term mental health. The other day some random person stopped at a red light on their scooter complimented my hair as I rode through the crosswalk.

    My hair goes halfway down my ass. I’ve grown it for years and it means a lot to me. I mostly just wash and condition it and keep it brushed, and put it up for work. Nothing fancy. So it could use some extra care. Lately I’ve started using a bonding shampoo and conditioner to help repair the ends and occasionally some grape seed oil. So them complimenting it specifically when I’d been putting a little extra effort in absolutely made my day. I was smiling for the rest of the ride home. And I’d really needed a boost as my mental health has been record low lately.

    I try to remember this as I go about my life, and give people little compliments when appropriate, in hopes that maybe they needed it, too.
















  • I do tend to agree. But I also feel like there’s too much we don’t know. This guy didn’t get a little loaded and suddenly become a prick and she suddenly escalated to having her own personal burning man. They’ve known each other for years, apparently. This couldn’t have been an isolated incident. To me it feels like this was just the proverbial straw. A little liquid courage and marching powder, and we get a crispy Mr Louder.

    That all said, I don’t actually think this was an appropriate response still. But important to acknowledge what we don’t know. Obviously she could just not be friends with the guy, probably.
