A quotation from Thomas Fuller
Books should be chosen, as Friends ought to be; few, but choice ones; yet thou may’st have many Acquaintance.
Thomas Fuller (1654-1734) English physician, preacher, aphorist, writer
Introductio ad Prudentiam, Vol. 2, # 1995 (1727)

"No one has it all figured out...just focus on pointing your compass in the right direction, embracing curiosity, and getting around great people. If you do that, good things will happen." — Sahil Bloom — — — # SahilBloom #quote #quotes #curiosity #acquaintances #good #focus #goals
"We are like books. Most people only see our cover, the minority read only the introduction, many people believe the critics. Few will know our content." — Émile Zola — — — #ÉmileZola #quote #quotes #acquaintances #friends #understanding #character #soul #metaphor

It took me a long time to learn that striving to please others does not bring #happiness. It brought a #quantity of #acquaintances but no #quality #relationships. Being myself brought me a few quality relationships and that is all I need.

#JerrySpringer’s #legacy of #discovery and #disgust.
Over the years, a great many of my #trans #friends and #acquaintances on #socialmedia have spoken about how their first #exposure to #trans #people came from #daytime #TalkShows like #JerrySpringer or its #contemporaries, #TheMauryPovichShow or #rickilake

Do you have one of those old #friends or #acquaintances on #socialmedia who seemingly do nothing but post #memes on one specific subject? There’s a gal I’ve known since first grade and all she ever posts about over on FB is shit about #coffee. Day in, day out. A timeline of 99% coffee memes.
Hey, how ya been? Who knows? A wall of coffee posts have created an impenetrable shield of hot beverage #obsession. Hey, I like coffee, but I don’t wanna #marry it.
Today is my #birthday!
One of the things I miss the most from #facebook (even after I joined #mastodon) is reading all the birthday #posts to my #wall (#feed).
Both brief generic "Best wishes!" and long personal #blessings, from both close #friends and distant #acquaintances alike.
So wish me a happy birthday (if you wish) and excuse me for popping onto Facebook. (:
P.S. This *isn't* a social confidence issue (to me), it's just something #fun.
