american-musician few guys hats last men notice remove stuff sunglasses thick
A few last men to beware: guys who won't remove their hats and sunglasses - they think you're too thick to notice the stuff they think they're hiding.
real men want
Men who have a lot of charm have it in place of something real that you are eventually going to want from them and find that they do not have.
men way shy
Men, as a general rule, shy away from therapy because there is no obvious way to keep score.
nice men clothes
Beware the old man in young guy's clothes. If he's over 35 and comes to pick you up looking as though he's headed for a skateboarding competition while you are dressed to go to a nice restaurant, this is not a good sign.
men listening answers
Conversely, beware the man who does nothing but ask you questions about yourself and offers no information about himself. Not only is he keeping you at bay, he is probably not listening to your answers.
men firsts first-date
Beware the man who doesn't ask you any questions about yourself on your first date.
writing years effort
When you have been writing for a lot of years, you have to make an effort not to start repeating yourself. It occurred to me that I tended to tread certain ground automatically, because it was comfortable, but that there were areas I avoided automatically because they made me nervous.
self awareness transparency
When anyone lacks self-awareness and doesn't recognize their transparencies, it's always funny.
celebrity-gossip care want
I don't like the celebrity gossip culture, and I certainly don't want to contribute to it. I don't care about the Kardashians, or any of them.
goal work-out world
My goal was always getting my work out in the world, and in many ways, I feel like the luckiest person alive.
creative care productive
I care about being creative and productive.
creative anxiety growth
I have learned that the stuff that causes me anxiety, the stuff I instinctively veer away from, is usually a road map to where my own creative growth can be found. So I consciously head toward the places that make me uncomfortable.
earth tasks belief
Since - in my belief system - we each get only one go-round here on planet Earth, it is the task of the writer to interpret, examine, and reflect on the specifics of their one and only life experience.
acceptance magic gone
It's just like magic. When you live by yourself, all your annoying habits are gone!.
