Meaningful Gestures

Personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures. Persist like a postage stamp. Stick to one thing until you reach your destination. Teasing is only funny if it is funny to the person receiving it. Try to be a rainbow to someone’s cloud. Stop being a storm. 

Cinderella is proof that a new pair of shoes can change your life. I really like the structure of my body. It moves well, looks good, photographs well, and understands gesture and nuance. The last of the Greek gods. You can’t relate, and I do really feel sorry for you (I don’t). 

Meaningful small tender gestures. A friend picking burrs off your shirt, the ones you can’t get because they’re stuck in that unreachable spot on your back. Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling it brings. 

I love you with all my belly. I would say my heart but my belly is bigger. Text her something sweet when she’s sleeping, so in the morning, she’ll wake up with a smile on her face. Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You. 

The simplest things make me happy like watching kids trip up and fall when you’ve pleaded with them to stop running. I love small gestures and nature in life. Some gestures can have a big impact. I went from being homeless to sheltered in a day. 

Tell the negative committee that meets inside your head to sit down and shut up.  Someday everything will make perfect sense. So for now, laugh at the confusion, smile through the tears, and keep reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason. 

It’s because you’re a bad person.
