Howtobasic? Is That You???

My dentist once told me that letting go is like pulling a tooth. When it was pulled out, you’re relieved, but how many times does your tongue run itself over the spot where the tooth once was? Probably a hundred times a day. Just because it wasn't hurting you doesn’t mean you didn't notice it. It leaves a gap and sometimes you see yourself missing it terribly. It’s going to take a while, but it takes time. Should you have kept the tooth? No, because it was causing you so much pain. Therefore, move on and let go.

#that’s a fucking deep dentist visit

I hope you find love in 2016. 

The main reason I love University Challenge is that it gives the lie to the media stereotype about young people – that they all know nothing, and couldn’t care less. It’s complete rubbish. Every year we see more and more teams of young people who know amazing things, and you’re just left wondering in pleasurable disbelief, “How on earth did they get that?”

ur making me attracted to Hamilton,,, y

Oh man, you should be tbh! 

I mean he was really really good looking. Literally everybody who has seen him has said so:

Hamilton’s contemporaries admired his manners and his appearance.His good friend and fellow Federalist Fisher Ames (1758–1808) rhapsodizedabout him, particularly admiring his eyes (‘‘of a deep azure, eminentlybeautiful’’) and his physical deportment (‘‘one of the most elegant of mortals’’with ‘‘easy, graceful, and polished movements’’). A male contemporarywrote of Hamilton, ‘‘His complexion was exceedingly fair and varying fromthis only by the almost feminine rosiness of his cheeks. His might be considered,as to figure and color, an uncommonly handsome face.’’  

Hamilton had alight peaches and cream complexion with violet-blue eyes and auburn-red hair, allof which came together to suggest an animated beam of light

They [the crowd] stared at Hamilton in amazement, for his slender little figureand curling fair hair, tied loosely with a ribbon, made him look a mere boy,while his proud, high-bred face, the fine green broadcloth of his fashionably cutgarments _ gave him far more the appearance of a court favorite than a championof liberty. Some smiled, others grunted, but all remained to listen, for the attemptwas novel, and he was beautiful to look upon.

Although he was only about five foot seven in height and slight in build, he had acommanding air, and men and women alike were readily attracted to him.          Gordon Wood

In 2001, my parents bet me that if I did not drink, smoke, or do drugs by 21, they would give me $1500. Here I am on my 21st birthday holding the contract I signed when I was 8.
