To Ania, the only one

She cried that night, but not for him to hear.
In fact her crying wasn’t why he woke.
It was some other sound; that much was clear.

And this half-waking shame. No trace of tears
all day, and still at night she works to choke
the sobs; she cries, but not for him to…

Poetry of the Poles: She Cried That Night, but Not for Him to Hear by Stanislaw Baranczak

makethemcometrue:

Date a girl who doesn’t read. Find her in the weary squalor of a Midwestern bar. Find her in the smoke, drunken sweat, and varicolored light of an upscale nightclub. Wherever you find her, find her smiling. Make sure that it lingers when the people that are talking to her look away. Engage her…

aaw…this is beautiful.

One life to live…: You Should Date An Illiterate Girl By CHARLES WARNKE

1. Introverts are to extroverts what women once were to men: second-class citizens whose time has come.

2. There’s a word for “people who are in their heads too much”: thinkers.

3. Our culture rightly admires risk-takers, but we need our “heed-takers” more than ever.

4. Solitude is a catalyst for innovation.

5. Texting is popular because in an overly extroverted society, everyone craves asynchronyous, non-F2F communication.

6. We teach kids in group classrooms not because this is the best way to learn but because it’s cost-efficient, and what else would we do with the children while all the grown-ups are at work? If your child prefers to work autonomously and socialize one-on-one, there’s nothing wrong with her; she just happens not to fit the model.

7. The next generation of quiet kids can and should be raised to know their own strength.

8. Sometimes it helps to be a pretend-extrovert. There’s always time to be quiet later.

9. But in the long run, staying true to your temperament is the key to finding work you love and work that matters.

10. Everyone shines, given the right lighting. For some, it’s a Broadway spotlight, for others, a lamplit desk.

11. Rule of thumb for networking events: one genuine new relationship is worth a fistful of business cards.

12. It’s OK to cross the street to avoid making small talk.

13. “Quiet leadership” is not an oxymoron.

14. The universal longing for heaven is not about immortality so much as the wish for a world in which everyone is always kind.

15. If the task of the first half of life is to put yourself out there, the task of the second half is to make sense of where you’ve been.

16. Love is essential, gregariousness is optional.

I think about suicide a lot. And because of this I contemplate all the ways it can be done, and things you should or shouldn’t say before doing so. Lately I’ve been thinking about the time that I last tried to kill myself, and I really don’t think it was such a great hour for such things. Whn an…
