Animals that don't like me...

To whom it may concern-

I don't trust animals that don't like me. Like, FOR REAL DUDE? I just want to be your friend and you're all like, 'man, why is she looking at me? why does she want my love so much? I just want to be a cat. Man, I'm going under the couch.'

Now to some people that may seem a little desperate. I mean, I chased the cat under the couch. When a cat doesn't like me... I then find this as a power struggle... and I WILL WIN. I WILL CUDDLE YOU. YOU DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND YOU FURRY BALL OF FUR, YOU.

Staring wars with cats are the best. You can't win because I am convinced that every time a human or animal blink they're looking into their own soul... and cats don't have any inclination to reflect. They're perfectly content with who they are, what they are, and how much of an ass they can be. Whereas, people need to have some sort of an inner check, 'are we doing okay in there? What we said to Tommy three years ago... that was pretty not okay. You wanna go back to that place and relive it 500 times over and relive every possible scenario that could have played out had you made different decisions? YEAH YOU DO! See.... if you weren't a jerk, you and Tommy would be married. Mhmm.'

People suck with their inner monologues and their stupid vendettas. Honestly, I just wish that people weren't stupid. I am prone to say a stupid comment, or ask a stupid question (YES there are stupid questions) every once and a while, but the people who make a habit of being ditzy or 'too stupid to know' are the people who need to check themselves. You're one of the reasons that I don't want to get out of bed in the morning and you're also one of the reasons that I want to go home as early as possible in the evening. Please don't be stupid and inconsiderate. It's not attractive on anyone.

SPEAKING OF WHICH: Why are people attracted to jerks? Just because someone is physically attractive doesn't mean that they're good people. You have to be attracted, first and foremost, to someone's mind. You have to be intellectually challenged by this person before all of the physical stuff gets in the way (if you want a relationship with them.) NOW, there are always exceptions. There is NEVER just one way to do anything.

People are attractive, people are stupid, people are pensive, people are interesting, and weird. There will always be a part of you that wants to hate people. That wants to just watch the entire human race be slaughtered by a rational alien race, but the selfish part of you that knows that you would be part of the massacre is more prominent than the small part that wants to hate people.

There are two parts to the human race. Humanity: which is beautiful. The creation of life the way that it works the delicate balance that must be upheld for our sanity. The mental conditions that some of us are born with. The way that we walk. The way that we hold conversations. The perfect way that we procrastinate. The way we fall in love. The way we feel so easily and so deeply. Then there's People: which is where you can get into trouble. How people act in all of these situations can turn a beautiful situation into an awful one. Falling in love with someone might end up being bad for everyone because you don't know how to do anything moderately. People take things to extremes and Humanity just is. That's what makes humanity beautiful and people have A LOT to do with it.

The human race is a beautiful thing, and ultimately if we don't start to view each other as animals that can't be tamed, wild cats or exotic birds, then we will continue to be disappointed. You cannot fathom the human race. You cannot predict all of the decisions different people will make. Personalities are are a big HUGE part of every decision and should not be taken lightly, in animals and humans.

The risks that we take in every relationship and connection with people is just the same as a game of chess. It's strategic and time consuming, often manipulative and things disappear. Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win, but you always play because you're missing so much if you don't. But remember, kitties can play chess too... so be careful.
