I agree on communication and trust being the most important things. I keep wanting to think of something else to throw in there, but really, both of those include all else. Well, I know what it is - not being a fucking pushover also helps. Speak when you’re angry, speak when you’re upset, or else things begin to sour. omg personal experience

As for oneword, the entries do kinda suck. I looked a “lightning” and everyone was just like “lightning is hard to write for.” How about lightning fast? Lightning hard? Fucking super hot electricity?? SOMETHING! =just shakes head=

What could be done to turn it around is to just pass it around to people you know who would give it their best, and slowly a base of good, thoughtful writers would form around it. I totally sucked at today’s word, though. ;-;

Trust is the foundation, communication is the means. What I’ve realized as two of the most important things in a relationship.

And oneword is cool, but I find that a lot of their entries suck. I think it’d be better if they had a regular panel of writers, and maybe try to feature a respected guest writer/blogger on occasion for his/her perspective. Still, it’s a really great idea that I wish I had come up with.

Reading this make me think trust means a little more each and every single day.

Most all of my boyfriend’s friends up here are like that. One in particular has that same inherent evil, as you call it. He always likes to play bad guys and thinks villans are cool…and maybe that’s a sign, but everything he did always had a motive. No one does anything unless it’s beneficial to them in some way. They’ve all lost their kindness somewhere, and they think they still have it.. but really they’re all just snakes. We’ve turned into snakes as well when dealing with them. Everything’s a calculated move, a game, let’s say this to see what they do…

But hell, I don’t mind it. I have real friends to talk to.

Also, I meant to show you this:
