My dad was a workaholic w ptsd. He died of liver cancer from agent orange — But he and I would go balls to the wall for sushi, margaritas, and comic book movies.

You did not fail.

First of all, I dated a Marine for three years with that behavior, fucking run.

I love my doc martens. So 1990, but so good.

PS - you’re not there to make your coworkers happy. I’m sorry they feel inadequate to your awesomeness.

I need lists to survive. I went to yoga, slept an extra four hours, and ate today. That’s it. And minimal human contact.

vodka and watermelon bar sounds awesome. And congrats! You can join the toxic sibling club. Mine won’t even acknowledge my existence, and I’m okay with that. I feel lighter.

Disappointed. That guy ghosted. Bummer. His loss.

I had. I’m in the middle of super stress, so I had asked him if he wanted to do something Friday, and he couldn’t because of work. So it’s Saturday, and I’m hanging around trying to catch up on work because I’m lame, and he was hanging out with his cousin. So I feel like I already put myself out there and don’t want…

I am super yay. I am secretly furious that he hasn’t set up another date. We text NONSTOP (and are doing it now) but he hasn’t set up another one yet. The last one was last Thursday, so maybe I should settle down. But he’s kind of awesome.

So my former personal trainer and I started hanging out as friends and he kissed me.

I went into a place and it had an aura of death. Like every employee was absolutely miserable. I bombed the interview by accident (and I can do this dead at this point) — but I sent the “nooooooo” email before I was even out of the parking lot.

Dude! I have a doctorate, I’m awesomely strong like you - but it didn’t stop me from having feelings and being swept into a bad, abusive relationship. Make a plan and do it. I am two years out and I’ve never been in a better place with myself.

Welcome to my sister, and congratulations for setting boundaries for yourself. She’ll live.

Strikes? I must be a gestapo admin, because that first strike would’ve been a Nuclear Firing of all Firings.

I like Bumble and Bumble for hair sprays. I really like the sea salt beach one, which is bastardly expensive, but holds like hell.

I think I’m more offended by the jock itch story.

So he ended up marrying her, and he was drunk throughout the entire wedding. I only know this because he is absolutely hammered in every photo that she posted. I have gone on to lose over 70 pounds, took a wonderful job, and I am currently seeing a really great guy who really respects me and treats me the way that I…

Thank you. Things are looking up for me.

I thought about this.
