Are you implying that it slows down in your 30s and beyond? My life has felt like a blip from 2009-2013, and I'm currently in the middle of my 20s. It's be really nice if it could slow down again.

Are we the same person? I recently turned 26 too, and this is exactly how I feel. I spent my early 20s in a funk of depression, anxiety, and listlessness. Now I feel as though I've finally come into my own, but that I wasted a bunch of time getting here.

I have a bob with bangs at the moment (growing out a pixie), and it's NOT easy to wear. I keep the bangs pinned back mostly. When I wear it down, it has to be styled— either straightened or loose waves, otherwise I look like Patricia Heaton's character from The Middle.

The more I read that sentence, the more it sounds as though he is lumping Akron in a major city category. It's the most backhanded compliment of Akron that I've ever read.

My ex hit* a cyclist on the side walk, in the dark, without reflective gear/lights, and who was not wearing a helmet.

My BF and most of his family members do not drink. It isn't for religious reasons and none of them are recovering alcoholics, which seem to be the only "acceptable" reasons to not drink according to a lot of insecure douche bags. We were actually discussing this topic recently, and they've found that it makes all of…

It's true! Season 3 changes everything.

Whoa! Edith is hardly (and by hardly I mean NOT AT ALL) an ugly woman, and her nose is fine. Mary is just as vindictive and selfish as Edith— she's just praised for it.

I'm beginning to really like Edith. Especially after seeing all of season 3. Sybil still stands as my favorite of the Crawley siblings, but Edith ranks above Mary to me. I see Mary as mostly congenitally spiteful and self-serving, while Edith is only spiteful because of Mary.

I don't have any advice, only sympathy. My mom is a hoarder and it causes a lot of frustration and heartbreak in the family.

I get that same spot in nearly the exact same place on my neck— from nothing in particular. It's not from nervousness, or scratching, or an allergic reaction. People always point it out (usually in a disgusted tone, though sometimes concerned). I don't know what it is. It pops up every now and then and will vanish as…

I love those bubble lights. They're becoming popular again!

Color lights! But I have always liked more whimsical/less traditional trees.

Please go to a counselor. I had the same worry when I started to see a therapist after college. I was on my dad's insurance and I was afraid of their reaction. My depression and anxiety was horrible and needed professional treatment. In the end, that outweighed the shame and fear of telling my dad. Take care of…

SCREW that receptionist. I just got denied the single-payer plan that I applied for, and I am freaking out about insurance. It's a luxury to have decent healthcare/insurance in this country and that is a damn shame. Report her to the doctor.

I was robbed twice last year at work, and you wouldn't believe how many customers said something like, "If only you were packing/had a sawed off shotgun/carried a glock under your desk, then this wouldn't have happened."

I love her! She looks a lot like my kitty.

I ruined my only best friend relationship that I had in college (well... really we both ruined it, but I did something to make it irreparable), and I haven't had as close of a friend since. We were really on the same page about a lot of things, and it was refreshing to have someone to talk to that understood me so…

Packing a Musket

I'm the only fast walker in my social group and I always get shit for it. I don't like being in crowds, so if I'm somewhere that is congested with people you can bet that I'm walking quickly to relieve myself of the anxiety. I've always walked with purpose.
