Do I have resting bitch face, or am I just a bitch that needs rest? I was up all night you know.

(1.) A path previously laid out by someone else, to arrive at a destination or goal.
(Can be either physical or existential, literal or metaphorical).
(2.) A metaphor for the journey of the life, death, or existence in general.
(3.) A point of access, connection or intersection, in a larger system. (Can refer to the structure of actual roadways, or anything that resembles that structure…(like veins/arteries in the human body, or the branches/roots of a tree).
(4.) A particular method or approach, to learning or doing something.

(4.) A particular method or approach, to learning or doing something.
(1.) If you take the strictest definition of road vs. street…A street is supposed to imply buildings and addresses, either public or private. And a road is supposed to emphasize a means of travel.
(This gets kind of confusing and weird when you consider people live on both streets and roads. However, you’ll notice a highway is never called a street. It’s always a road.)
(2.) The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
(3.) Veins are like the local roads of the human body. Arteries are like major highways. And blood vessels are like small residential streets.
(4.) (A.) The road to Michael’s heart, is his stomach. Better work on that Lasagna.
(B.) The road to learning, isn’t the same for anybody. The most effective teachers tap into their students’ individual motivations and learning styles.

The absence of something (some detail, signal, or anomaly) which highlights an answer to a problem or question.
Doctors used to believe all disease manifested as something foreign/outside the body attacking it. In the case of Scurvy, a lot of doctors got tunnel vision looking for a positive cue. (Some Germ or pathogen present that would explain the condition.) But none was to be found. It wasn't until biochemist Fredrick Gowland Hopkins considered what was absent (a lack of vitamin C) that the true cause of scurvy was discovered. This absence was a negative cue.

A girl who got stuck on a really hellish date, because a guy thought she owed him after giving her food.
With all the meat and fiery pits down here, you'd think the King of Hell would have at least summoned me some kind of chargrilled burger. But no. He gave me a piece of fruit that's like 90% seed. Of all the things that could've kept me down here...This seems like a particularly shitty deal.

Similar to sleep apnea accept the source of you not being able to breathe/waking up... is your cat parking their butt on your face.
Apparently it's a really comfortable napping position.

I woke up gasping for air, thinking my sleep apnea was acting up again. But no. It was just Garfield's vibrating butt on my face, purring. I'm calling it catnapnea.

(1.) When sex is like a religious experience. The feeling is so powerful and all pervading, you have no choice but to be present. And yet you also find yourself in a state of awe, beyond all the limits of your own body and mind. Time appears to stand still and yet it moves so quickly as your body automatically does what it needs to do, without thought, pretense, or any opportunity for self-consciousness.
Just as people often go to the house of a particular religion to find God...."Take me to Church" in the context of sex, involves a physical build up so intense, the orgasms could be described as a kind of "seeing God".
(2.) To crave or hunger for someone so much, you know being with them would be a religious experience.
(Hell, if you really want to extend the religious symbolism, think of the way a supposedly demon possessed person is taken to church, "laid hands on", convulses and shakes, and then appears to be "set free" with a peaceful look on their face. The parallels between this and really great sex are obvious.)

(1.) O God....He really knows how to take me to church.
(2.) I've never wanted someone to take me to church so bad in my life. I wonder if there's still seating available. The aisle closest to his lap would be preferable.

(1.) The easiest negative emotion to channel into productivity.
While depression is like a static pond that sinks into the earth and grows mold, anger is like boating down rapids. The ride can be a bit bumpy, (perilous even, if it turns to rage) but you’ve got enough power in that water current…you’ll sure as shit get somewhere.
The trick is being able to paddle (channel your anger), otherwise that energy will take you somewhere quick you don’t want to go, (like a rapid that pushes you overboard and makes you hit your head on a rock).
(2.) The expectation that something in this world should be better than it currently is, and someone else is responsible for why it’s not.
(3.) When hope makes a peace treaty with other negative emotions (such as grief, fear, despair, shame), by assigning them two targets…something or someone to blame, and something to do about it. (The something to do about it doesn’t have to be direct (such as plotting revenge). It can also involve self-actualization or the betterment of oneself /others).

I'd rather deal with anger than depression or sadness any day of the week. Contrary to the suffering artist myth, most manifestations of suffering do not yield productivity.
