I think 'ambitious' is one of those adjectives used for women in a derogatory way.
- Bad
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Being made to feel like an irrelevant child was probably an asset. Benign negligence is not a bad parental attitude or at least a cross between a benevolent dictator and benign negligence - you should just let kids crack on with it.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Calm

- Nov 07, 2020
If you are fearful, a horse will back off. If you are calm and confident, it will come forward. For those who are often flattered or feared, the horse can be a welcome mirror of the best in human nature.
