There’s a reason Apple doesn’t have to build gigantic replicas of its phones, hire an army of street artists and host a full on concert in New York City to promote it’s latest gadget. Windows on the other hand…well…it seems they have to go the extra step whenever they want to call attention to their latest gadget. And that’s exactly what Wexley School for Girls recently did for a windows Phone launch. Witness all the craziness here.

Looks like it was a great time. A lot of fun. But still. Why does Microsoft have to do this and Apple never does?

My daughter described her childhood to a friend last week and I overheard it from the next room—and the mother she described wasn’t cruel or cold, she was just less present than I remember being, less patient than I thought I was, and less fun than I tried to be—and the distance between the mother I performed and the mother she received is a gap I can hear but never close because her version is the only one that counts

Psychology says the people who check on everyone but are never checked on aren’t stronger than everyone else. They just learned very early that their pain made other people uncomfortable, so they stopped presenting it.

Psychologists explain that married people who feel lonely rarely lack companionship. They lack witness. Someone is in the house, someone is at the table, but no one is tracking the interior life happening behind their eyes, and that specific absence registers as invisibility, not solitude

A life coach explains that the friends who preserve your sanity during hardship aren’t the ones who say ‘everything happens for a reason’ — they’re the ones who can witness your anger and despair without trying to redirect you toward gratitude or hope
