Consent: Important. Listen. See. Accept. Think. And when in doubt, don’t do it.
Honour: He would always think about others before him self. He would take choices based on solid facts and good reasoning and he wouldn’t act outside of his moral principles. He would never abandon anyone in need or cause a situation for anyone that would create any difficulties for anyone. If he happened to do so – as would happen from time to time since we are all human – he always made sure to make things right and show up fro the people injured and work tirelessly to repair any damage he had caused.
Strength: He had to kind of laugh at him self. He was looking at him self in the mirror. He looked at his arms and chest. Firm and strong and muscular. He was proud of his body. He was very strong from working hard for years and he had eaten well and taken care of his body to make sure he would function for as well he could for as long he could. He didn’t laugh at his body. He laughed at himself because he could deadlift 150 kilos without much problem, but he couldn’t handle going through this dark period in life. He cried, felt alone and nothing seemed to be going his way. He knew how to handle lumber, heavy sacks of gravel and dirt. But to handle his emotions and feelings he had never thought of. He was strong, earned money, had a wonderful wife. Yet he felt hollow and weak. He figured he didn’t want this. He needed to get strong – in his mind. A strong body will crumble if the mind can’t hold itself up. “Time to lift weights,” he told himself as he entered the therapist office.
Intimating: The news didn’t rally come as a shock. It was surprise, of course. But things had been hinted about for ages. The talk had been steered towards this subject for months, and they hadn’t been exactly coy about changing the topic to it. It was a very pleasant surprise and we all were happy for them. It would be a new chapter of their life, and the looked at us all with such happiness and pride. They had wanted this for so long, but it had been difficult to make it happen. But the hard work had been worth it and now they could just relax for a little while and look forward to this wonderful thing in front of them.
Weird: You are weird. I am weird. He’s weird and not to mention that person over there. That fish is weird and so is this bird. We are all weird in our own way. We can be eccentric, have different abilities, interests, knowledge and different ways to see, feel and think. Every creature is weird in its own way, and we are all wonderful because of it. Weirdness is everywhere and its an evolutionary advantage to be a bit weird. A bit weird beak made bird survive on an island where the food was hard to reach. A weirdly set finger would lead to the opposable thumb. We are weird, we are unique, we all are special. And we are all the same.
Fake: It’s wonderful how at times things that aren’t real – not in this dimension at least – can feel so real. An imagined world in a book about a planet with three moons, or a flat earth where elf and men and dwarves roams around and battle dark forces. It all seems somehow more real and true than this world we live on right now. Things that can’t be sensed with our ears or fingers becomes reality in our minds. It’s just wonderful.
Impressionable: He wasn’t naïve or very gullible. He just liked following others. He liked being convinced about how their beliefs were the right ones. After all, that’s how democracy works. What he didnt like was to take charge himself. To decide and tell others. No, he would let more competent people do that. People who actually liked it. He was happy to work after orders and do what he was told. As long as it made sense. He wasn’t a push-over by any means. If he had doubts he would ask for clarification or more information. When he had been satisfied he was happy to continue as he had been told.
Dominant: He did like to tell others what to do. But not through force. No, that was barbaric. It was through proving himself and deserving the authority that made herblike it. To work for a position of power and to use that position to make other do his bidding. That was what it was all about. To control others. He never intended to do it with fear, but if they happened to fear him a bit, he wouldn’t hate it. As long as they respected him, his position and his authority they would be free to fear or loath him as they pleased.
Relatable: To find familiarity or something known in something or someone. To feel a bond and a common ground through a similar experience or situation. It can create bond across nationalities, language barriers and other obstacles. It can be healing and it can be helpful. To share something with someone you didn’t know you did. It can bring joy, sympathy, or just understanding.
Voluptuous: Curves and shapes. Hips, bosom and bottom. Swaying as she walks. Making me feel jealous of the fabric against her skin.
