  1. A Security Guard Said He Liked My Smile

    Once upon a time I was so ready to feel like a target, or a victim, that I would've been offended by a simple gesture like that. Upset that a man have the absolute audacity to pay me a complement. I like to think I've grown a bit wiser since then. I was at Sam Walton's Hell Emporium, the one for normies, not the exclusive VIP member's only Sam Walton's Hell Emporium. I prefer not to go there, but it's less than a block away and gas is fuckin expensive right now. Plus I really don't feel like […]

  6. I don’t pass as a woman, and I’ve become accustomed to stares and occasional paused conversations when I walk by. I’m untroubled by most of it. I try to keep a benign smile on my face and act like I don’t give a shit.

  21. [Micro-weblog] My online psychology reflection: It hurts when genuine compliments are consistently rejected. If the person rejects both praise and insults, it suggests they reject *all* external judgment, seeking total self-sufficiency. I admire that high level of independence, even if my raw self still wishes for that tidy, dedicated house!

  28. Quote of the day, 25 July: St. Thérèse

    Listen to this little, very funny story:

    One day [10 January 1889], after I received the Habit, Sister St. Vincent de Paul saw me with Mother Prioress, and she exclaimed: “Oh! how well she looks! Is this big girl strong! Is she plump!”

    I left, quite humbled by the compliment, when Sister Magdalene stopped me in front of the kitchen and said: “But what is beoming of you, poor little Sister Thérèse of the Child Jesus! You are fading away before our eyes! If you continue at this pace, with an appearance that makes one tremble, you won’t observe the Rule very long!”

    I couldn’t get over hearing, one after the other, two such contrary appraisals. Ever since that moment, I have never attached any importance to the opinion of creatures, and this impression has so developed in me that, at this present time, reproaches and compliments glide over me without leaving the slightest imprint.

    Saint Thérèse of Lisieux

    The Yellow Notebook of Mother Agnès, 25 July 1897

    Thérèse of Lisieux, S & Clarke, J 1977, St. Thérèse of Lisieux, Her Last Conversations, Institute of Carmelite Studies, Washington DC.

    Featured image: Detail of a photo montage created at the Carmel of Lisieux utilizing a 1913 photo of Mother Agnès (Pauline Martin) and a retouched copy of the last photo of St. Thérèse, which Sr. Geneviève (Celine Martin) took while Thérèse was getting some fresh air in the cloister.
