The Meaning of “Just Give Me A Reason”

just give me a reason pink nate ruess

This song to me sums up the fragile nature of relationships and the variances in the emotional demands of each person in the relationship. When I listen to this song I can relate to pieces of it. I realize this translation is going to be highly offensive to women. I also realize that I am writing about a male/female relationship. I am only doing this because that is what the song is referencing, all other relationships I leave to you. This is what the song means to me.

Pink made the following quote to spotify: “Sometimes [one partner] can be like, ‘The way you passed me the butter this morning, I kinda feel like we’re going to be over in a month and we need to talk’ and he’s like, ‘I just passed you the f—ing butter, what are you talking about?’ and that’s how I felt the song should go, ‘We’re growing apart, you don’t spoon any more, like it’s all over’.” Read more…

Buying Time To Delay The Inevitable

weird fucking relationships

Sometimes relationships are full of bad actors performing a drama in a high school play. No matter how many times you watch the play, and regardless of acting, the same thing happens every time.

Some people know the play so well that they start to think to themselves, “Well if I don’t do this, then she’ll get mad and do this, we won’t talk for 2 days, but then we’ll have great makeup sex, and be better for a week or so.”

Not only do they know how their partner is going to react to the things they say, don’t say, do, or don’t do — they actually welcome it and in some cases look forward to it. They are so bored with the relationship that this is all they have to look forward to, the weekly nonsensical conflict. Read more…

You Against The World

Sweetness Quote Remember

If you spend your time trying to keep up with the Jones’s then you’re probably living life too fast and missing out on what’s really important.

You see the concept of the Jones’s is misleading. Oftentimes this is portrayed as a next door neighbor family that’s doing well financially. It seems every other week they have some new toy, are going on some new vacation, and just have everything you think you could ever want to be happy.

Ignoring the fact that happiness is an internal interpretation from an external observation of the world around you and cannot be found in material objects or even outside of your own mind — the reality of the Jones’s might surprise you. Read more…

How Juicing Cures Cancer

Your body is innately programmed to stay healthy. That is, every cell in your body makes its best effort to stay healthy and when you get sick your body tries to fight off whatever it is so you can be healthy again. Your body is always striving to achieve health all by itself.

There are only two reasons why you will ever not be healthy. You either didn’t give your cells what they needed or you gave them something they didn’t need at all. This is usually referred to as toxicity and deficiency. Read more…

Your Kids Shouldn’t Be a Priority Over Your Spouse

funny marriage meme

A lot of people make the mistake of telling their spouses or significant other that their kids are their first priority, even over them. In a lot of ways this is a misguided and dangerous position to take, not just for your marriage or relationship, but for your kids as well.

Kids are not your property, they do not belong to you and never will. From a legal standpoint you are their guardian guiding them through life and making decisions that they are not “old enough” to make. From a religious or spiritual standpoint you did nothing more than serve as a gateway to bring a new life to this planet. Read more…

The “Fat” Gene

Hippocrates food be they medicine quote

There is a gene found in humans that when triggered can cause obesity. We’ll call this gene the “fat gene” to avoid making this article scientific and not fun to read. What most people do not understand is that genes have an off and on switch. This means that many people have the fat gene but it is set in the off position.

Every human being has approximately 25,000 genes in their genetic makeup. To understand what I’m about to explain to you, imagine that these 25,000 genes represent 25,000 on/off switches all placed side by side. Read more…

Your Why Has To Do More Than Make You Cry

Crying is typically the result of being overwhelmed by your emotions. Most of the time these emotions are negative although you can also cry from positive emotions. Strong negative emotions can be inspiring for some if they are channeled properly. Negative emotions have inspired many great pieces of literature, music, and art.

The problem with using negative emotions for inspiration is that they can linger and have harmful residual effects. They also tend to be temporary. When what you were inspired to do stops, the negative emotions creep back up and overwhelm you once again. Read more…

Sell Yourself, Not Your Product

I’ve been in marketing for about 7 years now. Before then I was a Network Engineer working for the Department of Defense. My greatest lessons in marketing didn’t come from a book or something I learned on the job — they came from observing others whose job it was to market to me.

Something Worth Living For

Sexiest Couple Alive

In the rugged mountains somewhere the wind is lashing through the air, punishing all those caught in it’s wrath. The snow is chaotic and blinding, preventing many from finding their way. The air is brutally cold, freezing everything in place.

I am lost out here. I am cold. I am hungry. I can take no more. I am ready to sit down where I am and cross into the underworld. I can go no further. I sit down and exhale deeply. I can see my breath, but it is quickly lost in the fury of the wind and snow. Vanishing quickly, letting me know that I too will share the same fate if I sit here any longer. Read more…
