Abigail Adams once looked into Alexander Hamilton’s eyes and said she saw the devil himself.

“It’s always wonderful seeing someone so emotionally in tune with their amazement with God.  That truly shows your relationship with Him.“

"when will you come back?" you asked.
and i bitterly laughed, then replied, "to be honest, i don't see a reason why i have to go back. tell me one reason why i should go back."
and you vaguely said, "well it's wrong if you don't come back..."
as though you're saying: that it's wrong if i don't come back to you.

Figured it was as good a time as any to bring back my Top 7 John Adams insults directed to Alexander Hamilton
7. I had the Anecdote of [Hamilton’s] threat to write a History of [Washington’s] Battles and Campaigns, from you, who had it from Miranda. I know nothing of the circumstances that lead to it. In general, I have always understood that Hamilton lived with Washington very much as Lady Teazle lived with Sir Peter, and as Lady Mary Wortley Montague lived with her Husband. - John Adams to Benjamin Rush, November 14, 1812
6. “The one who was raised to the rank of the leader of the Federalists, has been five years dead. It was said, that ‘from his metal was his party steel’d,’ yet there appears to be no lack of sagacity nor of industry to carry on the system, now that he is gone; nor does it fail, notwithstanding he confessed himself to be one that could not cool his iron in his own trough; and notwithstanding you have since represented him as ‘without bottom in voluptuousness:’ so bad that,     ‘Our wives, our daughters,     Our matrons, and our maids, could not fill up     The cistern of his lust, and his desire     All continent impediments would o’erbear     That did oppose his will.’” - William Cunningham, Jr. to John Adams, October 28, 1809
5. “I think it is most lamentable, that in your opinion, ‘the panegyrical orations of Ames and Otis’ and the ‘funeral made by the bankers in Boston’ for Hamilton, exceeded in atrocity and impiety, the King’s brothel in Belview and the Adonian Temple of Madam Du Barry.” - William Cunningham, Jr. to John Adams, August 18, 1809.
4. “Knowing the impetus you felt when speaking of Hamilton, I have been fearful whether you would not get into too hot a temper, and thus disease your rebukes with the fever of animosity. I have thought that you would have been safer to have followed Plato, and to have said, Speusippus, do you beat that fellow, for I am angry.” But, sir, you set him before me in new and horrid odiousness. Of “his debaucheries in New-York and Philadelphia” - of “his audacious and unblushing attempts upon ladies of the highest rank and purest virtue, of “the indignation with which he has been spurned” and of “the inquietude he has given to the first families..”” - William Cunningham, Jr., to John Adams, August 18, 1809
3. “I have been told by Parson Montague of Dedham, though I will not vouch for the truth of it, that General Hamilton never wrote or spoke at the bar or elsewhere in public without a bit of opium in his mouth.” - John Adams, The Selected Writings of John and John Quincy Adams
2. “Although I have long since forgiven this Arch Ennemy, yet Vice, Folly and Villany are not to be forgotten, because the guilty Wretch repented, in his dying Moments… Nor am I obliged by any Principles of Morality or Religion to suffer my Character to lie under infamous Calumnies, because the Author of them, with a Pistol Bullet through his Spinal Marrow, died a Penitent. Charity requires that We should hope and believe that his humiliation was sincere, and I (sincerely) hope he was forgiven: but I will not conceal his former Character at the Expence of so much Injustice to my own, as this Scottish Creolion Bolingbroke in the days of his disappointed Ambition and unbridled Malice and revenge, was pleased falsely to attempt against it.” - John Adams on Alexander Hamilton, Autobiography, being totally over it
1. “The collected part of the semen, raised and enflamed became a Lust converted to choler turned head upon the spinal duct, and ascended to the brain. The very same principle that influences a bully to break the windows of a whore that has jilted him, naturally stirrs up a great Prince to raise mighty armies, and dream of nothing but sieges, battles and victories. In this place I cannot avoid introducing a reflection by way of transgression. What a pity it is that our Congress had not known this discovery, and that Alexander Hamilton’s projects of raising fifty thousand Men, ten thousand of them to be Calvary and his projects of sedition Laws and Alien Laws and of new taxes to support his army all arose from a superabundance of secretions which he could not find whores enough to draw off! and that the same vapours produced his Lyes and Slanders by which he totally destroyed his party forever and finally lost his Life in the field of Honor.” - John Adams to Doctor Benjamin Rush, Nov. 11 1806
And honorable mention goes to a letter once written to William Cunningham, Jr., that was so bad and mean spirited, John Adams requested the letter back and destroyed it. Review the above, and live with the knowledge that apparently there was once a letter so much worse that even Adams was personally ashamed of it.

what's the secret to make a friendship lasts long and fun, full of nothing but joy like what you had with aurora-borealis/thylalock?
are you the same anon that asked whether me and her are an item or not before? lmao
idk what @aurora-boreolis thinks about this, but here’s my thoughts.
well, for me, it’s communication and trust. and the need to speak and to stop your friend whenever they’re going to do something that is clearly wrong.
listen, a true friend is not the one who always says ‘yes’ and agrees to everything you do. a true friend is the one that is able to stop you even though the whole world encourage you to do the wrong thing.
and what I meant by communication is not asking your friend to keep paying attention to you or to talk to you literally every single day. tbh I don’t understand people who keep seeking attention from their friends, like literally everyday. I mean, cmon! your friend’s life is not just about you, you know? they have life beside you. and you should have life beside them too. it’s not a healthy friendship if you keep demanding their attentions for 24 hours/day, sigh. they need space, and I believe you also need space. a proper private space.
you might say things like “but I need them everyday so that I don’t have to feel afraid that one day they’ll leave me.” but harshly speaking, what if, they eventually left you because they felt that you’re burdening them with the non-stop attention you’re asking? your friend, they’re humans. they need to breathe, to let go from you for a moment, to enjoy their own lives.
fyi, I don’t talk everyday with rebecca. I even haven’t seen her for more than 3 years until february this year. but, does that drift us apart from each other? nonsense, we’re still stay close as we’re used to be. nothing changed at all. whenever we talked, it’s really nothing but love and madness. because we understand that it’s impossible to keep seeking each other’s attentions for 24 hours/day. because we have our own life going on in front of us.
and trust. for me, I can’t be friends with someone that I can’t trust. and I do and truly trust my life to rebecca. I can share anything with her, trust anything to her. and im sure that we always trying our best to be honest with each other. for example, we’ll make sure that the other is comfortable with stuffs that we’re talking, or if the other is offended by what we said, or when we disagree with the other’s opinion. that’s what makes us never got into a fight, small arguments sometimes but never a fight.
some people tend to be selfish, like they’d demand for their friends to always understand them, but in fact they also didn’t want to understand their friends. don’t expect others to understand you when you don’t want to understand them. don’t be childish, put away your ego. friendship is not place for you to boasting around your ego. I believe that friendship is not about “I” “me” or “you” only, it’s always about “us.”
it’s impossible to change other people if you don’t start by changing yourself.
don’t ever try to convert yourself into someone that your friends wanted you to be. but if it’s for you to be a better person, then try to take their advice. but if it’s for the contrary, then don’t.
after all, you are what your friends are.

not to be sappy but do you ever just so in love, like you fell deeply in love that it makes you wanna cry whenever you think about that person but then you'll also smile and close your eyes imagining their beautiful face on your head, and a soft whisper that sounds like a small promise came out from your lips, 'i wanna spend the rest of my life with this person'
