love
love can mean so many things. it could mean the little jump in your heart when their name pops up in your notifications. it can mean your willingness and desire to please them in every way possible. it can mean the outpouring of support for that special friend. it can mean the smile that creeps across your face when you think of that one text, moment, conversation. sometimes it can be the way your heart aches because you’re stuck between two. sometimes it can be the wandering imagination of a lonely moment.
love seems to be the most complicated thing in the universe, and i’ve studied the universe. -

favorite poems
if you can keep your head when all about you
are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
but make allowance for their doubting too:
if you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
or being hated don't give way to hating,
and yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
if you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
if you can think - and not make thoughts your aim,
if you can meet with triumph and disaster
and treat those two impostors just the same:.
if you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
and stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;
if you can make one heap of all your winnings
and risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
and lose, and start again at your beginnings,
and never breathe a word about your loss:
if you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
to serve your turn long after they are gone,
and so hold on when there is nothing in you
except the will which says to them: "hold on!"
if you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
if all men count with you, but none too much:
if you can fill the unforgiving minute
with sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
yours is the earth and everything that's in it,
and - which is more - you'll be a man, my son!

selfitis
defined (by american psychiatric association) as the obsessive compulsive desire to take photos of one's self and post them on social media as a way to make up for the lack of self-esteem and to fill a gap in intimacy.
classification:
(see: borderline selfitis)
(see: acute selfitis)
(see: chronic selfitis)
signs:
selfish – narcissists act selfishly and, even if being generous, are generally only responsive to their own concerns.
no rules – narcissists feel that they are above others and that the rules don't apply to them.
inability to take criticism - narcissists have an inflated idea of their own importance, they can be quickly deflated by negative criticism.
discomfort – it happens due to lot of addiction for selfie.
unilateral listening – instead of listening in order to respond, narcissists listen in order to dismiss, negate, ignore, minimize or otherwise make someone else's concerns irrelevant.
refusal to take responsibility – narcissists have a tendency to blame others for things that go wrong.
angriness – narcissists may become easily angered by critical comments or being ordered what to do.
consequences:
excessive use of social networking may be connected to psychiatric problems
like depression,
obsessive compulsive disorder,
addiction,
body dysmorphia,
narcissistic personality disorder,
schizoaffective and schizotypal disorders,
attention deficit hyperactivity disorder etc.
there is a human desire to be recognized and appreciated,
we shouldn't make those people closest to us ask for it.

2- parents also have to teach their children's not stick for selfies.
3- social medias must start campaign against excess selfie.

square deal
in 1902, a coal miners' strike threatened the nation's supply of heating fuel. roosevelt invited the mine owners and union officials to the white house, but the owners refused to negotiate. furious, the president got them to back down, and the strike was settled, with the miners receiving a pay raise and a nine-hour work day, down from 12 hours.
in his bid for reelection in 1904, roosevelt said that in brokering the settlement he had tried for a "square deal"—a fair result-for both sides. the square deal became his motto for the rest of his career. roosevelt won a landslide election to become president in his own right in 1904. -
