Rebelious rules by Kristina Gallo

If you strive for a better life, you see. Through open eyes, you wish better for yourself. Even circumstances might slow you down, and people stop your progress. Still, your ambitions are alive. Anyone who has lived in a harder way can understand the dream. If you did not have money, you looked at people who spent money on things; they don't need it. Maybe you spared money for basic needs until someone enjoyed in wealthy life. Your urge pushed you to accept jobs you did not dream about. Sometimes you shared your private space with people you did not like. If you were in the dorm, you had a roommate. If you shared an office, you had office mates who were not pleasant always.  A lack of money means a lack of freedom. Also, it means a lack of privacy because if you wish to swim alone; you need a big swimming pool and you can't effort it if you are poor. How your vision will develop, depends on a few things. Do you have an instinct for survival? Do you giv...

When your friend is a man, you must set up your boundaries. Especially if your friend is your ex-lover or boyfriend.  Sometimes a man will not accept the word NO as an answer to his desires, but the word MAYBE  will get him confused. For example, you want friendship; he wants a relationship. You want respect; he wants sex. You maybe want it later, but he is not ready to wait, and he doesn't have patience.  If you once accepted him as a lover, you may change your mind. Carmen and Oliver had a short adventure. The next time they met, she was not in the mood to make love with him. Everything was fun on the first date, but he was cheap now in her eyes. She felt she deserves more. She wanted conversation, admiration, and respect, and Oliver offered just his unzipped pants. His behavior was unacceptable. Even worse, he looked lame in her eyes, like he lost dignity. He was like an animal, and she was not in a mood to deal with animals. It was too raw and primitive ...

Do you feel like good things in life avoid you? Everything great happens to someone else. She got birth. She found a great man. He got a promotion at work. He won the lottery.  Also, you might feel you don't fit in the community. It connects everyone here with a common interest, but you are the intruder. People avoid you like a plague because you are different. Don't worry, famous people are usually different. Their ideas are different, and their ways are unusual. How could the average community with some formal rules understand that we are not all the same and that is wrong to push us all into the same box? It is important to see average thinking in the mind of an average employer who is working 8 or more hours daily and who did not hear for the better.  " I must go with my colleague to the business restaurant for lunch. If I sit alone, everyone will think I am a weirdo. I must talk with my colleagues about my private life because I must fit into the...

Looking for a new job? Searching for a partner? Fighting with workmates? These are all situation that needs support. People are like that, they expect someone to hold their side, but it doesn't happen like they imagine. You can't depend on others' support because even if you get it, it will be temporary. People are used to changing sides, and once you did something wrong, your support will vanish. If you are an ordinary person who is not well-positioned in the business world or if you are not rich, you can't count on many people.  Remember the facts: People usually avoid being involved in others' conflicts.  Someone will support you if you give something to him. Give money, return the favor. You will get support if you have a common enemy.  Your support must have more power than your enemy, otherwise, it is useless.  I learned a long time ago, whatever I do, I must learn at myself at first. Everything else is a bonus or a su...

Before 2 days I got a message from a guy 20 years younger than me. I could literary give him birth. A kid is playing on Instagram and he bragged how MILF sent him messages. MILF's are women in their forties who are hot, and hungry for pleasure, accord his words. He thought he can start this kind of conversation with me. He pretended that he likes my books, even I know he did not read even a magazine. A millennial guy is busy collecting followers and likes, he has no time for books, because that is boring and old-fashioned. I always saw a real man as someone who doesn't spend much time in the virtual world, unless it gives him earnings. Real men are busy making money and working, they are not young virtual gigolos who wait for desperate women to show their naked dicks.  Yet, some brats ask for an easier way to get sex, virtual or real. They don't need a car to pick up a girl. They don't need money to buy her a drink. All that they need is a fast i...

Sometimes you must choose between your attitude and friendship. As time passes by, you will discover that not everyone is your friend. Even those who supported you before can turn you back if you changed your priorities. People could be jealous if you make some progress. For example, Eve progressed in her career. She did not change, but the people around her did. They had an image of her like she is a barbie doll. Suddenly, she became their competition. She reached some areas where she was not before and her circle changed. Her new friends were ambitious and rich people, and old friends thought about how she became cocky. That was not true. She just did not want to be someone's clown anymore. She still had her sense of humor, but she could not let her old friend embarrass her in public. She ashamed some of them who acted like tramps. New friends were watching her old friends with wondering, what Eve found in such a circle? How do they know her, she is an educated woman,...

Be good to people and they will fool you. True or not? There is a story about a man who accepted a snake in the house, and a snake bites him. While he was dying, he asked: "Why did you do this?" "Because I am a snake" she answered. This old legend talks a lot about human nature. You need not show your soft heart and gentle manners to everyone, hoping to receive it back.  The trouble starts when people remember you as a nice person. You are always available to make someone smile . To do favors. To get up in the middle of the night if your doorbell rings. Now, your boundaries are crossed , and you ride a broomstick. The witch is here, how so? You had too much on your plate and it is time to kick asses. People on your list: A friend who calls you only when he needs something. A lover who uses you only for sex. The boss asks you to work overtime when nobody wants this. The neighbor who makes noise even you warned him more times. People coul...
