Trying to make someone fall
There are certain things that can’t be fixed with a block of chocolate and a sewing needle, can’t be mended with a phone call
out of love is almost as useless as trying to make someone love you.
while you sob silently into the receiver,
or with $120 spent sitting in a room with white walls
and even whiter tissues whilst you talk to a counsellor
who is supposed to unravel the tangle of knots but
who has forgotten how to undo the last woolen string of a bow line. Falling out of love is one of these things. I’ve been on the other end of the telephone,
when the people I love have deliriously sobbed
of the pain that causing a draft in their chest,
and I’ve tried to stamp comforting words onto their soul with permanent ink, pressed down one, two, three times
but it’s only you knows your marrow’s personal PIN code,
the exact buttons you need to press in order
to screw your bones onto their hinges again. Only you know how many milliliters of detergent is necessary
to wash the stains away,
how long the layers of your skin should be hung out to dry,
until you’re ready to sew your flesh
into a brand new coat you love so much ,
you’ll wear all hours, even between sheets.
Talking to others will make you
feel lighter, happier,
the sinking anchor of weight transferred to another being,
but only you can pull the ‘sold’ sign down
from the doorway
of your heart: Only you can blow the candle out

Dear Maddie: Stay!
For the last eight months, Idaho photographer Theron Humphrey has been traveling the country documenting awesome strangers as part of a project he calls This Wild Idea. But his companion on the trip, an English Coonhound named Maddie, has become something of a project of her own. Maddie is strangely fond — and meticulously obedient — when it comes to the “stay” command. Maddie will stay on a tree trunk, on top of a drip coffee maker, inside a giant tractor tire, inside a BBQ pit, balanced across a ledge — it’s like planking, but with Maddie, and many more positions. And so, five months into his trip, Humphrey started documenting Maddie herself under the aptly titled Maddie on Things. We asked Humphrey how he gets Maddie to stay so damn still.
What do you do when you’re not posing Maddie?
I’m a photographer most days, it’s what I went to school for and have fed myself with, but I’ve never really called myself one.
How would you describe Maddie’s temperament?
Maddie is a patient dog. I’d be at a friend’s house, and she would just stand in the middle of the living room. I figure most dogs would have laid down. It’s in her nature to stand still. But these days, she’s been trained on a “stay” command with food.
So, posing Maddie on, you know, a telephone pole. How do you pull this off?
None of them are very intense, or even high up really, except for one where she is up a half-cut-down tree. But the flat part on the tree was so big, she could have stood there all day. Most aren’t up very high … if you take an image from a slightly lower angle, it makes the world seem higher. She normally only stands still for 30 seconds, but I shot a video of my buddy playing a song, and she stood still for 2 minutes.
Is Maddie a genius? What’s she like when she’s not balancing on things?
Ha! This question made me laugh because I thought of Maddie sitting at a computer, with a tiny hat on, taking an online IQ test. But I’d say Maddie’s “nose” intelligence is high. She could track most anything.
It is hard to accept when we come to the realization that a person in our lives that we care about significantly just doesn’t care about us as much, or in the same way in which we care for them. When we find ourselves in situations as such we must be willing to let our feelings go sometimes, especially when we have done everything that we feel we possibly could have, but in turn still get rejected.
Sometimes you have to try not to care, no matter how much you do. Because, sometimes, you mean nothing to someone who means everything to you.
Sometimes we must try not to care because no matter what we may do, we won’t mean the same to a person that they mean to us. Never let this deter you from showing someone your true feelings later on down the line, because it doesn’t mean you weren’t good enough for them, it just means that they werent good enough to see how dynamic of a person you really are.

Moving on is very hard for every one of us that has experienced a troubling break up in our lives, but it is actually our best revenge. Instead of antagonizing, begging, or giving a person the satisfaction of knowing that moving on is causing us to be miserable, most times it is in our own best interests to try our best to move on.
The best revenge is just moving on and getting over it. Don’t give someone the satisfaction of watching you suffer.
Instead of focusing on making a person who is no longer with you know the way that you are feeling after you have already let your feelings be known, focus on who you are, and where you want to go. Life is too short to waste on someone who obviously didnt work out in your life for a reason or reasons. Focus on becoming a better more whole person. Focus on living your life out of love, and being able to bless others instead of wasting energy on someone who more than likely doesnt deserve it. The world is a great place in need of people who are willing to serve, be bigger than your situations in life, and try your hardest to spread love and inspiration to everyone that you can.
