Relationship Cycle

The pattern of a couple getting together, deciding to break up, hating each other with a vengeance for some time, and getting back together again, starting the cycle anew.

Process can repeat indefinitely.

Usually annoys the hell out of those acquainted with the couple in some way.

THE RELATIONSHIP CYCLE

John: I love you...
Jane: I love you too. :) . Being together with you is the greatest feeling in the world.

Jane: No, you can't hang out with your friends in Vegas this weekend. I want you here.
John: You've become such a demanding bitch. That's it. I'm breaking up with you and going to Vegas! Maybe I'll find someone better there!
Jane: Well, fuck you then, asshole! I never want to see you again!

Jane: That son of a bitch dumped me. It's really over this time.
Ashley: Are you sure? You always take him back, Jane.
Jane: No, this time for real.

3 WEEKS LATER:
John: Baby, I miss us. Our relationship together was the greatest time of my life. I'm sorry for what I said. Take me back. I can't be without you.
Jane: I've missed you too. Come on, I want to make it up to you...
"THIS STAGE OFTEN LEADS TO MAKE UP SEX"

John: That was amazing Jane. I love you..
Jane: I love you too. :) . Being together with you is the greatest feeling in the world.

AND IT GOES ON AND ON AND ON...

church hurt

church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.

Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.

Huge. Surpassing normal expectations.

I was fishing with a Spinner Bait and a HONKIN pike came after it and hit it . Felt like a lawnmower running over a brick.

Stealthie

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.

FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"

Grindset

The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.

“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
