An Egyptian ostrakon depicting a cat serving a mouse, circa 1295-1075 B.C., New Kingdom period, 19th to 20th dynasty.  Now in the Brooklyn Museum. 

The image shows some reversal, with the scrawny predator serving his plump prey.  Other scenes like this from the same time period have also survived.  The two theories about these depictions are: 1) it is possibly a popular folk tale of the time or 2) a satirization of upper-class life from the time period.  Somewhat of a prototypical Animal Farm if you will.

It’s ok to be jealous and mad and sad and angry and any other “negative” emotion… You’re not being toxic you’re being human. The point at which you become toxic is when you’re letting these emotions seep into how you treat others

i’d like to formally call myself out on being such a needy and emotionally confusing person

i hope donkey kong walks into my house and smashes a barrel over my head killing me instantly 

Get a man who can do both

is he eating cheetos with chopsticks this is true innovation

I want a relationship where we can get drunk at midnight, just the two of us, and sit up talking and making out all night, and go to the beach at four in the morning. I want someone who’s down for adventure. I want someone who will go camping with me, and boating, and fishing, and travel. I want someone who wants me for life. I want passion that doesn’t burn out.
