suffocating under the sun and in joy

Sep 03, 2010 11:16


Lately it feels like I've gotten more brittle. Not to close friends and family of course, but to anyone else, it feels like I've less restraint on what I say. Especially when it comes to being caustic and direct.

I'm not sure if it's a good thing yet. Could be, might not be.

I still think it's better to be nice to people, because if nothing else, at least it doesn't worsen their day. It sucks when someone, in their careless vitriol, entirely spoils the day of another person with unthinking insults. There wasn't even any point in it, and the person slinging words around probably didn't even realize what he or she said. It's easy to be metal when metal meets flesh, and even easier to justify it with 'I didn't even know'.

All I'm saying is, I wish some people would think before they speak, and stop having a negative knee-jerk reaction to every goddamn unusual thing. :T

Edit: Oh, I finally finished watching Mysterious Skin yesterday. Thanks Kaya, for showing me the squickiest part WHEN I WAS EATING. You're a horrible person, and I don't know why I'm friends with you.

... But okay, almost the entire movie was squicky (in a very good way if that makes any sense?).

I loved it. :| I feel like a masochist for saying that.

random, bitching
