“Make your own recovery the first priority in your life.”

I was at the library the other day, and my daughter was playing at the Art Table with two other girls. One of the little girls’ mother was near by and said “Aren’t you girls good little artists!” 

And the third girl perked up and said “My dad’s an artist!” 

The woman smiled indulgently and says “Oh really, what kind?” 

The little girl proudly told her “He’s a tattoo artist.” 

And the woman. Oh man. Her face just twists, crumples into something nothing short of disdain, and she opens her mouth and says “That’s not…”

“An easy job,” I cut in, looking the woman in the face because really? You’re going to tell a child her dad’s not a real artist. “In fact it’s very very hard, because that art is alive forever on a person, not like on paper. And that’s scary! You have to be really good, to be a tattoo artist. Your dad must be really, really good.”

what kind of person could just try and crush a little kid like that? goddamn.

Nothing about being in ‘love’ makes you weak. Love Is a courageous act. It takes a lot to let your pride down and allow yourself to fall.

Choose carefully who you give your time and attention to. Because some people ain't interested in you, they just interested in the attention you give them.

“A famous philosopher once said, ” Life is simple, but we insist on making it complicated.” The truth is we don’t know how to make it simple because we’re constantly trying to find what makes us happy. The thing is there’s nothing wrong with trial and error. There’s nothing wrong with failing one too many times and there’s certainly nothing wrong with winning one too many times either. One thing we can all agree on is life isn’t fair. But what is fair is the choice we make to obtain happiness. Some choose to participate. Some choose to disrupt the order. Some get all the attention and some thrive in the shadows. Some enjoy the thrill and some play it safe. Some choose to work hard and some hardly work. Some play the game and some would rather make the rules. The world is too big for any one path to be the right one. So regardless of the path you choose, remember that it remains unique to you. It becomes your story. That is what inspires us. Be Proud of Your Story”

Biggest dog in shelter: Leonberger so sad doesn’t even pick up his head

He’s the biggest dog in the shelter, and even though there are some questions as to his breed, his heart aches with profound sadness, and volunteers report he won’t even pick up his head to acknowledge anyone.

Click here for this dog’s PetHarbor listing. This DOG - ID#A4832054

I am described as a male, brown Leonberger mix. The shelter thinks I am about 5 years old. I have been at the shelter since May 19, 2015. For more information about this animal, call Los Angeles County Animal Control - Carson at (310) 523-9566.

A Facebook page for this dog is available by clicking here. His stray hold expires on May 23, however there has been no interest in helping this dog. There continues to be discussion as to his breed being a Tibetan Mastiff. Either way, this gentle giant needs to be rescued, adopted or fostered.

Please share his story. Additional information is available here. Sharing saves lives as is evidenced by so many wonderful storybook endings for dogs who otherwise would never have had a chance. Forward this story, send it to your Facebook acquaintances or send it on to work colleagues. Just one special connection can save this boy’s life.

Here's a thing

•If two bi girls date each other they are not lesbians. They’re bi. •If two bi boys date each other they are not gay. They’re bi. •If a bi boy dates a bi girl, they are not straight. They’re both bi. • You can be trans and be bi. • If you are single and not wanting to mingle, but you are bi, then you’re still fucking bi.

A friendly reminder: don’t ever let anyone’s opinion dictate the way you live
