Showing posts with the label fear

A Freshman at 56 - do I cry or do a happy dance?

I'm ten published poems beyond thrilled and about a 1/2 century past total (give me meds) anxiety. My chest is all puffed out with pride and my heart is beating madly with (oh my god) fear. I suppose that's the yin and yang of it. Apparently my feelings about returning to college after a 23 year break are zenfully balanced between suffering and happiness.

If you are a woman...

If you are a woman - You have a secret fear. If you have a sister the worst thing she could ever do would be to tap into this fear. You just don't do that to your sister, no matter what kind of bitch she is. If you are a husband or a boyfriend and you want to cause irreversible damage to your relationship, if you want to shut your woman up and you are not afraid of her murderous wrath, you may want to keep this abuse in your arsenal. What would be the lowest of low blows, the foulest of foul play, the absolute most scornful and insulting words on earth...? "You are just like mom!" "You are just like your mother!"
