Or the people that idly stood by, who ignored the first signs of cracking and never did anything? &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I think, how sad. These flowers that were held together by that one special vase will never go back to how they once were. They&amp;#8217;ll never get the same vase ever again.

You Have Outdone Yourself.</title><description>&lt;p&gt;“I was walking down a dimly lit street late one evening when I heard muffled screams coming from behind a clump of bushes. Alarmed, I slowed down to listen and panicked when I realized that what I was hearing were the unmistakable sounds of a struggle: heavy grunting, frantic scuffling and tearing of fabric. Only yards from where I stood, a woman was being attacked. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Should I get involved? I was frightened for my own safety and cursed myself for having suddenly decided to take a new route home that night. What if I became another statistic? Shouldn’t I just run to the nearest phone and call the police? &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Although it seemed an eternity, the deliberations in my head had taken only seconds, but already the cries were growing weaker. I knew I had to act fast. How could I walk away from this? No, I finally resolved, I could not turn my back on the fate of this unknown woman, even if it meant risking my own life. I am not a brave man, nor am I athletic. I don’t know where I found the moral courage and physical strength, but once I had finally resolved to help the girl, I became strangely transformed. I ran behind the bushes and pulled the assailant off the woman. Grappling, we fell to the ground, where we wrestled for a few minutes until the attacker jumped up and escaped. Panting hard, I scrambled upright and approached the girl, who was crouched behind a tree, sobbing. In the darkness, I could barely see her outline, but I could certainly sense her trembling shock. Not wanting to frighten her further, I at first spoke to her from a distance. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“It’s OK,” I said soothingly. “The man ran away. You’re safe now.” &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There was a long pause and then I heard the words, uttered in wonder, in amazement. “Dad, is that you?” &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And then, from behind the tree, stepped my youngest daughter, Katherine.”&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://alessadore.tumblr.com/post/49442556846</link><guid>http://alessadore.tumblr.com/post/49442556846</guid><pubDate>Thu, 02 May 2013 12:10:46 -0400</pubDate><category>Psych 1</category><category>Small Miracles</category><category>Book</category><category>by</category><category>Yitta Halberstam</category></item><item><title>princessandhisprince:

&lt;p&gt;Today, I knew.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://alessadore.tumblr.com/post/48914689530</link><guid>http://alessadore.tumblr.com/post/48914689530</guid><pubDate>Fri, 26 Apr 2013 02:17:56 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Feeling Lonely When I'm Not Even Alone</title><description>&lt;p&gt;I hate it when I realize in a relationship, whether friendship, family or partner, that we&amp;#8217;re not as close as I thought we were.

&lt;p&gt;I HATE that that realization hits me too late. It hurts to think that I was the only one happy. I thought you were happy with me too. You should have said so and shattered my delusion from the start. The hurt would be less that way. I&amp;#8217;ve wasted your time, and you&amp;#8217;ve wasted mine.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://alessadore.tumblr.com/post/48594831741</link><guid>http://alessadore.tumblr.com/post/48594831741</guid><pubDate>Mon, 22 Apr 2013 01:31:02 -0400</pubDate><category>Trust Issues</category><category>Personal Problems</category></item><item><title>NEVER Break The Laws of Which Bathroom to Enter</title><description>&lt;p&gt;This has stayed in my head since it happened and have been replaying in my head lately. Been thinking that I should have said this, or that. And I have to get this out. Hear me out. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So. I was in Taco Bell with friends and family and I had to go to the bathroom. There was a woman waiting and so I stood next to her. The person occupying the bathroom was taking a long time, so I asked, “Is that bathroom empty?” pointing to the men’s bathroom. The woman next to me said, “Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, will you watch for me if someone gets in?” “Yeah, sure,” Now it was those bathrooms that weren’t stalls, so it locks inside. After her, I went in. So I peed and there was a push to the door. “There’s someone in here,” I announced. Then, I immedietly regretted it because I forgot I was in the men’s bathroom. Anyways, whatever. I washed my hands and went outside. &lt;br/&gt;
There were two men standing so far from the bathroom and looking at me, almost snickering. So one of the guys went in and the other guy starts talking to me as I approached my table. &lt;br/&gt;
“You know, you shouldn’t go in the guy’s restroom because think about us, it would be different if we went to the girl’s bathroom.” He told me. I was thinking, how is that my problem? You could go in, as long as it wasn’t stalls, if you needed to pee or poop. I wouldn’t have minded. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I forgot what I said but I knew I wanted to tell him off. I was astounded that this man was telling me to respect the labels and pee or poop accordingly. The things inside those bathrooms are the same, and the things we needed to do in those bathrooms were the same so why should it matter? This is exactly why racism happened and how it’s still happening. People are so set to following a set of arbitrary rules that society put there that they don’t even question it anymore. People just follow and conform. Like it’s the only thing they know how to do. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What if I responded to that guy like this? “Well, why do you assume I’m a girl? Because I have long hair? I have the appearance of breasts? Because I look “like” a girl? What if I had a penis down there? By society’s rules, I’m a boy right? Which bathroom should I enter now?”&lt;br/&gt;

Or like this? “Oh, then I shouldn’t have entered, huh? I’m so sorry. Next time, I’ll be sure to piss myself or shit myself before entering a perfectly empty bathroom because it’s a men’s bathroom. I CAN’T GO IN THERE! I’m not a man! Only men are allowed in. There’s a bouncer at the other side of the door waiting to check if I have a penis and look like a boy before letting me pee or poop.”&lt;br/&gt;

Or like this: “But I am a boy! I have a penis. Wanna see the proof? I could show my penis to you! Would you be happy then? Will you be satisfied if I’m a boy and I peed in the boy’s bathroom? Will you give me candy and pat my head?”&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://alessadore.tumblr.com/post/47771518873</link><guid>http://alessadore.tumblr.com/post/47771518873</guid><pubDate>Fri, 12 Apr 2013 05:52:32 -0400</pubDate><category>Gender Issues</category><category>Sexism</category><category>SB 1432</category><category>Society Labels</category><category>WTFudgeCakes America</category><category>Gender vs. Sex</category><category>Liberalist</category><category>Feminism</category><category>People's Rights to Pee or Poop</category></item><item><title>You know it.</title><description>&lt;iframe src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F53266690&amp;liking=false&amp;sharing=false&amp;origin=tumblr" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" class="soundcloud_audio_player" width="500" height="116"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;You know it.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://alessadore.tumblr.com/post/47770294248</link><guid>http://alessadore.tumblr.com/post/47770294248</guid><pubDate>Fri, 12 Apr 2013 05:02:46 -0400</pubDate><category>Same Love</category><category>Macklemore</category></item><item><title>Audio</title><description>&lt;iframe src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F66757153&amp;liking=false&amp;sharing=false&amp;origin=tumblr" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" class="soundcloud_audio_player" width="500" height="116"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><link>http://alessadore.tumblr.com/post/47770131708</link><guid>http://alessadore.tumblr.com/post/47770131708</guid><pubDate>Fri, 12 Apr 2013 04:56:01 -0400</pubDate><category>Kemosabe</category><category>Everything Everything</category></item><item><title>PET.

I&amp;#8217;m always mindful to not make anyone feel out of place because I know how sucky it feels. That&amp;#8217;s why there&amp;#8217;s such a thing called MANNERS.

You can say whatever you want whenever you want to whomever you want. No hesitation, just straight out. You’re honest, you express yourself and you let the other person know where you’re at.

It’s something I always notice and never fail to admire.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://alessadore.tumblr.com/post/45540563250</link><guid>http://alessadore.tumblr.com/post/45540563250</guid><pubDate>Sat, 16 Mar 2013 20:16:39 -0400</pubDate><category>Where do I sign up to be blunt</category><category>Wishlist</category></item><item><title>Real-Life Rental Girlfriends?!

&lt;p&gt;Yeah, so reading this bothered me. It&amp;#8217;s disgusting that these people are okay with cheating and saying stuff like &amp;#8220;what she doesn&amp;#8217;t know won&amp;#8217;t hurt her,&amp;#8221; types of excuse. Whatever happened to loyalty? Honesty? The Sacredness of Marriage? Not to mention the trust between two people? Then why marry at all? Why stay and lie to your wife if you have a different escort/call girl on every state? Why not give her her own chance on happiness? &lt;br/&gt;
On the other hand, I have no problem with Jack or Katelyn or Kimberly. If they want to prostitute themselves through life, then more power to them. If Jack wants to buy love or company, then who&amp;#8217;s to stop him? If he&amp;#8217;s happier with buying women and their companionship than working for a girl who would give all these for free, then he should go for it. After all, he doesn&amp;#8217;t have an expiration date, he has unlimited time on his baby-makers. No girl should waste their time crying over these types of guys. They&amp;#8217;re the idiots.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://alessadore.tumblr.com/post/41766273323</link><guid>http://alessadore.tumblr.com/post/41766273323</guid><pubDate>Tue, 29 Jan 2013 00:25:44 -0500</pubDate><category>The Luxury Rental Girlfriend</category><category>Article</category></item><item><title>My Hair is My Penis Size</title><description>&lt;p&gt;It sounds peculiar, but it&amp;#8217;s true!
