that kind of woman: kindred spirits 2012 →
kat is - thatkindofwoman. she is one of my first tumblr friends. you know, from way back when. three years might not seem like a long time but in the land of tumblr - it feels like forever in the very best way. in the kind of way that begs for more. because there’s an understanding. connections made that wouldn’t happen otherwise. or would they? three years has afforded me the...
.. i came away thinking that meetup provides the tools for people to form communities. but first you have to gain these people. individuals must see a value for themselves, before committing to a meetup. that’s the importance of groups, they provide a premise and a common interests for strangers to meet. although people come for a specific interest, they end up staying for the relationships...
for all the attention and importance he placed on those around him, my grandfather never neglects to take care of himself.
he cares for his spiritual health. he spends time in prayer and meditation. he ponders and memorizes the scriptures.
he cares for his physical health. he eats well. he exercises as much as he’s able to.
he cares for his mental health. he reads books. he expands his...
i don’t think that it’s the practical ones among us who move to new york. (perhaps it is just that it needs a naive trust in life, that whatever happens is meant to, or could, or does and you’ll get through it.) there is something about this place that requires a leap of faith, that asks you to hold tight and see what happens, that never actually promises that you’ll come out the other side not...
you can try to escape the story of your life, but you can’t. It happened…heart broke. i knew you when you were young. heart broke too. i will know you when we are old too. and maybe wise. i know you now. your story. mine isn’t the one i would have chosen in the beginning. but, i’ll take it. it is my story. it’s only mine. and, it’s not over. there’s time. there is time. there’s so much time.

Watchwindy cold golden blue. sunday.
when it becomes clear to me that something is going to be really hard work, there’s a voice inside my head that says, ‘you shouldn’t probably do this, because you probably *can’t* do this”—but there’s another, much louder voice that becomes bullying and belligerent and wants to prove that other voice wrong.

when the web started, i used to get really grumpy with people because they put my poems up. they put my stories up. they put my stuff up on the web. i had this belief, which was completely erroneous, that if people put your stuff up on the web and you didn’t tell them to take it down, you would lose your copyright, which actually, is simply not true. and i also got very grumpy because i felt like...
..it’s not just mentors that need to listen: mentees need to listen to mentors to make sure their advice is relevant and applicable for what they’re building. advice is cheap to give but expensive to use. be very cognizant of the asymmetry between giving and using advice when you’re deciding what to say and what to do. as a mentor, work to understand how hard it would be for them to implement...
sometimes i wonder if i’m the only person in the world who thinks so hard and has so many words for the very particular reasons why certain things strike me. i think many would say i’m high strung or even high-maintenance. i just think i’m hyper-aware and hyper-articulate.
