Re: How to Let Your Soul Die and Be Fake at Work — The Fun Way! - by Mandy

I think the results are similar but actually LESS soul-sucking when you just remember that there are a lot of forces at play, even in very simple profesh interactions. Take none of them personally (ego loves when you do), keep it simple & clear & manage around those that seem incapable of doing so.

Re: The Salon Burned My Hair Off and Forced Me To Go Natural

I don't know much about the topic & definitely can't relate to the pressures, but I can't fathom the time, energy and money that goes into hair! Natural is so beautiful. I love it when I see people embracing it!

Been there! But The Asshole Diet taught me that it's never enough. Always someone cuter, more in shape, yadda yadda. Plus, to be honest, life really wasn't very different or better, give or take 10 lbs for me. Pointless ego thing, it was I think

Too extreme for me. Plan what you can (what you can "control" or influence); leave room for possibilities for the other stuff. Those I call "explorations" -- The plans that involve other people or circumstances I have no control over. More of a "let's see!" attitude & less expectations/demands/icky-ness for all

I like it! Maybe just relieved it didn't go the way I expected :)

I love everything about this; that color is magical against your skin. Reminds me of this (GP/Kevyn Aucoin) but BETTER. I am with you aboard the big hair train

Grace is my solution; is it kind? Does it need to be said by me? Does it need to be said right now? If not, I STFU. Whatever I'd want to say is really just my opinion or perspective anyway. Which may be super-informed or not.

Re: My Doctor Fat-Shamed Me... And It Kind Of Worked Because It Made Me Think I Should Lose Weight

Unpopular Opionion (maybe) but all the "(something)-shamed" language is getting really loose. It sounds victim-based. From how you describe the encounter, the doc wasn't shaming you (judging you, saying you are a "bad" or hopeless or unloveable person); she was just giving facts based on what she has been taught. None of that has define Who You Are, which I think is how shame really gets to us; when we take it in as something that defines us.

Re: I Understand Why Mindy Kaling Is Defending Her Much-Criticized Elle Cover, But It's Still Hard To Watch Her Do It

Sorry if this has been said, but her cover is the most beautiful one. It's not an extreme close-up (which I hate, too); it's a "normal" crop we see regularly on newsstands. Kaling seems to think ppl are reading too much into it; I agree.

I love CM (in theory), but its vibe hasn't yet differentiated it from J. Crew as far as I've seen. They should drop the collabos (we're bored by them anyways, right?) & stake out new territory, IMO. "Inspired by New York" -- not so original ;)

2 words: Composite Career. 2 other words. Transferable Skills. I have a lot to tell you! The short answer is: it's not an either/or thing, and it's OK to make a decision and then re-decide. Especially as an artist, ANYTHING you do will enhance those skills, so I say: jump and continue to figure it out as you go. More Will Be Revealed. Best of luck!!!

Re: I Don't Think I Can Have Casual Sex Anymore Because the Power Balance Shifts So Dramatically

I've been having some similar thoughts (maybe it's the time of year?). I'm realizing how my ego likes to play dual roles, villain and victim. Didn't the devil's tongue have two prongs, or something? Very devious stuff.

First: my ego to just want to "get what I want, when I want it" and also WIN whatever game I have to play to get what I want. "Okay, you want to use me as an object? I'll use YOU as an object, too! And I'll use you as an object BETTER and HOTTER. And I won't feel a thing. See how I'm not feeling a thing!"

THEN, because my ego's goal is always to make me feel small, separate, and like crap, it either pulls the guilt card on me afterwards or the "Damn. See how cold and unloveable you are, you WERE, and how you ALWAYS IN PERPETUITY will be?" card.

It's bullshit, and it's nasty, but it's leading me to a deeper relationship with my higher power, so ultimately it's a good thing. Whew! DAMN EGO.
