If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character…Would you slow down? Or speed up?

not so subliminal message

How am I supposed to know what I want when I’m just beginning to figure out who I am? Most people go their whole lives thinking their ego is who they are. Give me at least some slack for wanting to figure out what my soul craves and aid to it.

Soul mate doesn’t just specifically mean relationship and or significant other. Each soul has it’s own family, we’re all here to float in and out of each others lives when needed - we have a pull that one can’t replace or dismiss.

Why won’t you wake up? We destroy one another but we do it with the purest of love, that may not make sense to you but that’s what soul mates do. Regardless how much angst you hold toward me I will always be beside you. I shouldn’t have to repeat myself for nearly a year for you to understand what I’ve been saying is necessary for your betterment. No being knows you better than I. Please wake up, this doesn’t better me in any way - this is a consistent selfless act.

Now you’re looking for our other half? That’s your “twin soul” / “twin flame” - not your soul mate; good luck it’s a rare occurrence.

NY Senate Passes Bill That Makes “Annoying” Police A Felony
The New York State Senate passed a controversial bill on Wednesday that aims to classify ‘aggravated harassment of a police officer’ as a crime, but will it give the authorities the green light for strong-arm tactics if passed?
Sponsored by Senator Joe Griffo, Bill S.2402 would make it a felony to “harass, annoy, or threaten a police officer while on duty.”
“Our system of laws is established to protect the foundations of our society,” Senator Griffo said. “Police officers who risk their lives every day in our cities and on our highways deserve every possible protection, and those who treat them with disrespect, harass them and create situations that can lead to injuries deserve to pay a price for their actions.” Griffo said that New York police require extra safeguards because “too many people in our society have lost the respect they need to have for a police officer…. We need to make it very clear that when a police officer is performing his duty, every citizen needs to comply and that refusal to comply carries a penalty.” The bill, which will now move to the State Assembly, would make it a crime for a person to make any type of physical action aimed at intimidating a police officer. Harassment of a police officer would be recognized as a Class E Felony, punishable by up to four years in prison.

NYPD Officers Violently Beats Gay Man, Pepper Sprays Him While In Handcuffs
A handful of cops are in hot water after allegedly beating up a 26-year-old gay man outside the 79th Precinct station house, ostensibly for urinating in public. According to a statement from the New York City Anti-Violence Project, the man, identified as Josh Williams, was attacked by police in Bed-Stuy around 4 a.m. on June 2, with the accusing officer allegedly shoving him against a police car and several others “throwing him to the ground and pepper spraying him while he was in handcuffs.”
A shaky video taken by one of the victim’s friends captures lots of shouting and swearing, though the circumstances leading up to the melee are unclear. A cop aggressively grabs Williams toward the beginning of the video, at one point shouting at the others, “You want to go with him, you stupid fuck?” The cameraman retreats around the corner and, upon returning, reveals a crush of at least four officers surrounding Williams, who at this point is on the ground.
“Why is he standing in the parking lot of a police department?” one cop shouted. “Because the police officer right here called him over!” the camera man said. “That’s why he was standing here.”
As Williams is dragged to the car, the cameraman requested the cop’s badge number, and was not acknowledged. Williams was ultimately charged with urinating in public and resisting arrest, said Sharon Stapel, AVP’s executive director.
The NYPD has not responded to a request for comment. According to a statement from AVP, the two other witnesses—Williams’ roommates, also openly gay—were later arrested as well. Watch the full video.
Williams, a waiter in Williamsburg, “suffered a laceration on his face that required four stitches, bruised ribs, a black eye and a scrape on his torso,” the Village Voice reports. The officers are reportedly under investigation by the NYPD Internal Affairs Bureau—both of Williams’s roommates, Ben Collins and Tony Maenza, allege that one officer used anti-gay slurs during the arrest. From the Voice report:
Maenza was watching the incident from the sidewalk and videotaping with his phone. “Josh is on the ground, he’s surrounded by officers, he’s been maced, and they pick him up and take him into the precinct,” he says. “At that point, one of the officers called us ‘faggots.’”
Collins recalled that the officer called them, “fucking faggots.”… Collins says he was slammed against a parked van and handcuffed. “I asked repeatedly what we were being charged with, and I wasn’t able to get an answer. I believe they arrested us because when the last officer who called us faggots, Tony told him that we had the incident on video, and I’m sure he relayed that information inside and they then decided to follow us outside and arrest us.”
