Hierarchy of Needs

"You are familiar with Maslow's hierarchy of needs, right? You studied psychology. It's a psychological theory that proposes humans are motivated to fulfill a series of five needs, often depicted as a pyramid, from basic survival to self fulfillment. The hierarchy includes physiological needs, like eating and drinking. There are safety needs, love and belonging, friendship, intimacy, esteem, self respect, recognition and self actualization. Lower level needs must be satisfied before a person can focus on higher level ones..." 

"Yes, that's all well and fine. But self actualization requires self destruction. The old self must be destroyed for the new self to emerge. Most people aren't willing to destroy who they've been. So they never become who they could be. Destroy the old. Build the new. Destruction is creation. So Maslow's hierarchy of needs is bullshit. One must deny themselves to become who they truly are, or need to be. Don't you see...???"

Girl Who Deserves A Chance

 Ryan, You asked me once, "Why do people love me?" I'll tell you why... Your energy is what makes people fall in love with you. It's how you make them feel. It is not your body, your money or your looks that make you magnetic. What makes you unforgettable is how you transform the hearts of people around you with your simple presence. That is your energy, that is your power, and that is why people love you. Jessica,     the girl who deserves a chance...

Backstage Stooge

 Dear Ryan,  You're delightful and a real treat to be around, a regular jack who's so down to earth. What you see is what you get with you. No pretenses, no false fronts, no ulterior motives or ill intentions. You're one to say what you're thinking with your eyes, you can never hide behind lies, and your sighs give you away. Although you're an exceptional actor, you shed those roles only to recreate yourself whenever you feel you need to. I suspect you've got some secrets and perhaps you very well could be a demon in disguise. But I seriously doubt the dark side of you isn't just as beautiful as the light side. You're no one's fool and you're fooling no one. You've simply got to walk in any room and your energy speaks for itself. You're one of a kind, and don't tell anyone, but I think my heart might become rather fond of you. Your co-star and backstage stooge, Jonah D.
