"- When a skylark flies high, - he continued rather hopelessly to Izzie, - it means it's a fine weather.
- Well, one doesn't need a bird to tell one if it's good weather or not, one simply looks about."

"No man gave you a fur coat without expecting to receive something in return. Except for one's husband, of course, who expected nothing beyond modest gratitude."

"Julijonas Urbonas, the man who thought up the Euthanasia Coaster, claims it’s engineered to “humanely—with elegance and euphoria—take the life of a human being.” Those 10 Gs create enough centrifugal force on the body so that the blood rushes down instead of up to the brain, which results in something called cerebral hypoxia, and this is what kills you."
/Jennifer Niven - All the Bright Places/
[The Euthanasia Coaster doesn’t actually exist. But if it did, it would be a three-minute ride that involves a climb nearly a third of a mile long, up to 1,600 feet, followed by a sheer drop and seven loops. That final descent and series of loops takes sixty seconds, the 10 G centrifugal force results from the 223-mile-per-hour loops] |

pirms pāris dienām braucot sabiedriskajā transportā, pievērsos vienam no jaunajiem ekrāniem, kuri uzstādīti speciāli, lai arī tiem cilvēkiem, kas neblenž telefonā, planšetdatorā, elektroniskajā grāmatā, būtu priekšā kāds ekrāns, kurā ieurbties. Šoreiz pasažierus izklaidēja ar Lieldienu ticējumiem. Konkrēti prātā palika šis, īstam rīdziniekam tik vitāli svarīgais ticējums: "Ja otrā Lieldienu rītā līst, govis dos daudz piena."
Šodien no rīta atverot žalūzijas, padomāju - laikam jau govīm būs daudz mastīti. |

Kārtējo reizi pati neko nerakstīšu, tik atreferēšu divas izlasītas lietas. (for some inexplicable reason - abas romantisch..)
____________
- Nesaprotu, nu ko Tu viņā esi atradusi?!
- Es vnk viņu mīlu. Un to es atradu nevis viņā, bet sevī.
____________
'Kādu dienu es beidzot saņēmos un aizgāju no sava vīra, pie sava mīļotā, kurš diemžēl neizrādījās tikpat drosmīgs.
Trīs dienas vēlāk es izskrēju no viņa viesnīcas ar asaru pilnām acīm un, neskatoties, kurp eju, saskrējos ar savu vīru. Mēs vienkārši stāvējām un skatījāmies viens uz otru, nesakot ne vārda. Un tad sāka līt lietus. Man nebija lietussarga, bet viņam bija. Viņš piedāvāja man savu elkoni, es izbāzu cauri savu roku. Un tā klusībā mēs gājām.. Kur? Uz mājām, protams.'
____________
Man liekas, kkas tajā ir. |

'You say that a lot too,' said Drew.
'What?'
'That you're fine.'
'I am fine.'
'Sarah - that's my psychiatrist friend - has a theory about the word "fine",' he said. 'She thinks it stands for fucked up, insecure, neurotic and emotional.'

"Yet another veterinarian took her own life yesterday, and another is in danger today. Another needed rescuing just a couple of weeks ago. Listen guys, your vet is not "in it for the money." They're not "uneducated about nutrition and vaccines." They're not trying to poison your pet to make a buck. They are struggling. Almost all of them. The kind of people who are attracted to veterinary medicine are compassionate, they are perfectionists, they are overachievers, and ironically, most of them are introverts and freaking exhausted by dealing with people all day. They care about your pets as much as you do, and often more so, in the (daily) cases of terrible pet owners who argue with them and neglect basic care for their pets." |

"Mēs visi gribam likties labāki nekā mēs patiesībā esam, un tas ir normāli. Bet nav normāli būt labākiem nekā esam. Tieši tāpēc rodas vispirms vienkārši depresija, tad lielā depresija.. Rezultātā mums ir pasaules krīze." |

par manām attiecībām ar kādu cilvēku:
izskaidrošanās ar kādu tuvu cilvēku bija sašutumu izraisošas un mokošas. tāpēc turpmāk grib iekšēji nodrošināties - pasargāt un norobežot sevi. vēlas kontaktus, kas nerada nospiedošas un aizvainojošas izskaidrošanās. labprāt pievēršas teorētiskām un spekulatīvām idejām, lai izvairītos no konflikta.
*** - stipri noslogota konflikta situācija
par to, kāds gribu būt:
domā, ka viņa viedokli neviens nerespektē. vēlas nobīdīt problēmas malā, lai nenomāktu iekšējā spriedze. ir gaidu pilns un atvērts nenomācošām attiecībām un ļoti ieinteresēts ierosinošos kontaktos.
par prasībām un noteikumiem:
ir pakļauts grūti paciešamas situācijas ieteikmei. prasības izjūt kā īgnumu izraisošas un nomācošas. bet padoties negrib, turas pretī. saņemas, lai nebūtu ne maigi piekāpīgs, ne arī ielaistos kompromisos. apspiež dusmas un agresivitāti, lai draudošo afekta izvirdumu spētu kontrolēt cik ilgi vien iespējams.
*** - stipri noslogota konflikta situācija
par nākotnes vīzijām:
pašreizējie apstākļi rada lielu nepatiku. šobrīd atrodas pārejošā starpsituācijā, kuru nav viegli paciest. grib situāciju saprast, tāpēc ir modrs. cer jaunos, izdevīgos priekšnosacījumos atrast izeju un atbrīvoties.
*** - stipri noslogota konflikta situācija
viela pārdomām:
KK tendence -> bēgšana no problēmām
īsti mērķi vai iluzorās vēlmes?
jācenšas uztvert cilvēki un situācijas tādas, kādas tās ir, nevis spriest par visu pēc saviem ideāliem un principiem.
nebūs ilūziju - nenāksies vilties.
ir nepieciešama -> iekšēja brīvība.
KL tendence -> pārpūle, pārslodze
izlietotā enerģija, nesniedz gaidīto atdevi, laupa drosmi un skumdina.
ir jāizvēlas sasniedzami grūti mērķi.
vadmotīvs: ļaujiet tam būt tādam, kāds tas ir!
DK - STRAUSS - no konfliktiem mūkošais, nomocītais bēglis. [dusmīgs, izmisis, grib aizmukt un cer uz labāku nākotni]
