Essential rules for loving someone

tcr! · Aug 22, 2017 at 8:15 am

Audio (MP3): 20170822 - Essentials rules for loving someone

  1. If someone loves you then love them back.
    Don’t think about it.
  2. If someone loves you then pay attention to what they do.
    Often times they’re telling you, without words, that they do.
  3. If someone loves you then sometimes they won’t tell you.
    That’s okay. Tell them that you love them anyway.
  4. If someone loves you then don’t wonder if they do.
    Questions on your side can lead to questions on their side.
  5. If someone loves you then comprehend this as an utmost responsibility.
  6. If you love someone then love them first.
    Tell them now.
  7. If you love someone then tell others that you do.
    You’ll realize just how much.
  8. If you love someone then find another reason to.
    Better: find two.
  9. If you love someone then stay in that moment.
    Don’t go anywhere else.
  10. If you love someone and haven’t told them in a while then what are you waiting for?
  11. If you love someone but are having a hard time then ask god what they think.

So this is a thing now. Keep your expectations low. I mean like really low. I don’t know if it’ll be anything more than just an audio version of a written piece. We’ll see how it goes. Maybe I’ll ad-lib now and then. Maybe I’ll play the piano. At this point I’m just trying to get used to the sound of my own damn voice. 😘

And finally, you can also listen right on the site with the #diariespodcast hashtag.

There’ll be an audio version toward the bottom of each article.

Anyways, on with the show…

Eclipse 2017 — best photos I got

tcr! · Aug 21, 2017 at 1:26 pm

Wasn’t as magical overall as I’d hoped. Even more so being at work with the rest of the worker bees.

And then the clouds totally took over at 1:18pm.

Have you ever bought a ticket?

Have you ever bought a ticket for a show that you won’t be able to go to…just so you can have the ticket?

Me either… until now.

21, No, no, no, no

I’ve always wanted to go to Brooklyn.

Just the same as me

Audio (MP3): 20170820 - Just the same as me

Bike at the ballfield

When I’m behaving badly it’s because I’m scared or my feelings are hurt or I’m upset or whatever. It’s not something I just do. There’s a reason there. And I’ve always appreciated it when other people have let me off the hook when I was acting badly. So long as I didn’t act too bad or push it too far.

With that said when other people are behaving badly I can make a fairly safe assumption that they’re acting that way because they’re hurt or sad or upset. For one reason or another, just the same as me. I would do well to take a step back and remember how I’ve felt when I’m hurt and then think, “they could be feeling the very same.” And I can show that same kind of love and tolerance towards them that others have shown me.

Normally I’m the kind of person who skips audio and video posts because it requires me to connect headphones and I’m lazy; however, I enjoyed the audio on this. 😎

Thankies!! I tried to come across as if I was actually just saying it to you. I generally write how I talk so it was just a matter of slowing myself down as I tend to read faster aloud. Well, and then there were the four takes to get it up to par. ;)

I felt like the tone matched how your posts tend to “sound” when I read them, so I definitely think your writing style is effective in sounding like the way you talk. Your reading speed was fine, and the way you read it didn’t sound over-rehearsed, but didn’t sound like you were unfamiliar with it either (I’m sure the four takes had something to do with that). ;)

Sounds like I came across as an authentic public speaker then. I was worried I’d only fooled myself.
