all the world's a stage...
I'm a Computer Science undergraduate in my final year studying at Reading University. I like music, movies, photography, reading and if I can ever get around to it, writing. Also a fan of horror, sci-fi and fantasy so there's plenty of re/blogging on those areas.
I write gig/event reviews at From The Pit

“If you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell can’t handle me at my best.”
- Marilyn Monroe
I enjoy reflecting on quotes and different ideas. The above is the key part of a quote I’ve come across numerous times and quite often in people’s quotes section on Facebook. The page for it on Facebook has over 2.8million Likes.
Attributed to Marilyn Monroe, the full quote is “I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control, and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best”.
I quite like it because the message applies to everyone. However, for me, the crux of it is that while we may all have our flaws, it’s the responsibility of each and every one of us to do what we can to overcome them and mitigate their impact - because if our best is so outweighed by our worst, then however good our best might be, it may not be worth having to handle our worst.
