“If people say, ‘How can I help?’, the trick is not to go, ‘Help? Me! Nooooo. I don’t need any help. I’m totally fine, completely and utterly okay. All okey dokey in my world thanks. Sure, I was swallowed by a blue whale, digested in their stomach for three months, then spat out again and had to swim seventeen miles to shore but NOOO, I don’t need your help. What a ridiculous notion. What’s that? There’s something in my hair? Oh yes, it’s fine, that’s just a bit of mucus from the whale’s third stomach chamber.”
James Withey, How to Smash Stress: 40 Ways to Get Your Life Back

“All the dates they went on were with people who declared that they ‘never dated people who rent flats’, and one admitted that he only really liked people with oblong faces. Another near miss was a guy who made paper puppets of his exes. I saw a photo of these puppets and they would scare the bejesus out of Beelzebub himself. Lastly, their flatmate was an asshole who thought washing up was for losers. What is with some people?”
