Quote of the day: Saying What We Mean

The Companions by Titti Hammarling.  Source

Our time is too valuable, and our thoughts moreso, to waste engaging in passive aggression.

Furthermore,  our thoughts, experiences, and truth are valuable and deserve respect.

We do not disrespect our truth by diluting its expression with tepid concessions to the sensibilities of people whose behavior demonstrates reflexive devaluation of our thoughts, dismissal of our experiences, and distortion of our truth – especially to avoid acknowledging an uncomfortable and unflattering reality.

In short (and I mean this in the nicest possible way) we do not give a flying fuck about your fee-fees. It is safe to presume that we say exactly what we mean and we mean what we say.
