Almond croissants are my favorite thing in the universe. Almond desserts win every time.

Oh my god with the Chicken Soup books. That's exactly how I felt reading them. Exactly. I beat myself up about it and felt bad for feeling bad. It was a mess.

I'm kind of amused about this, because sending the "bad thoughts out to sea in a tiny boat" is exactly how I describe CBT to people I know.

Oh. Well. I suppose there's that.

Just wanted to add to the pot and say I also could have written this, almost verbatim.

I'm in my 30s. I will be honest, I still struggle with depression that I was diagnosed with at 14. I'm happily medicated, but off meds I am a disaster. Someday I'll be perfect though, right? That's what I tell myself.

I think I just had a breakthrough reading your comment.

I admit to rolling my eyes when transplants go on and on about New York City, when the people who are actually from there don't give a shit. My parents moved our family out of there because they were so over it! Shocking.

Long Island, a barren, Swift-free landscape of car dealerships and people who tell everyone when they travel that they're from "New York City" even though they most certainly are not.

Yeah, I really don't get why this show is supposed to be hilarious.

Well, how else would she let the world know that she loves Chanel? One brooch simply wouldn't do.

This never fails to both amaze and amuse me.

Same. Some people just aren't the yelling type.

Hunger really is the source of most of my anger.

RIP Regretsy :(

I don't live nearby any longer, so that has probably been good for our relationship!

Was it this or the Daily Show last night that made light of only getting candidates from known "brands"? I was half asleep.

I'm glad I can accept that my face is just my face. It's not a beautiful face. It's just a damn face. And there's no need to throw a tantrum when it doesn't look perfect (which is always).
