When my insomnia was particularly terrible, I’d pull my kitty in my chest to fall asleep. Usually worked <3

EW! Good for you for not giving it any air. It feels totally unfair to me, that people like this come back - it took me years to heal from the loss.

An ex I was SUPER SUPER IN LOVE WITH almost 20 years ago has surfaced via social media requests (which I did not accept). I felt like responding just to say “remember how the last thing you said to me was I DON’T NEED ANY DRAMA?”

That was 8 years ago.

Instead I will be a wall of silence, but...man. I fucking loved…

Hmmm....not buying “utterly terrified of attracting attention to herself” - if she was she wouldn’t walk barefoot or talk about her sex life, or eat so loudly. It sounds like she might present herself like that in a subconscious power trip. AKA ‘you can’t call me on my shit, I can out emo you.’

Do I sound like I’ve…

Who narrates GoST? I loved that book so much!

re personal space -

I hate sitting beside people while talking in general. I have an old neck injury and I have to twist my body so not to twist my neck. I always ask people if I can sit facing them instead.

I suggest using an explanation like that. Don’t apologize, just assert: “I’m going to sit across from you,…

Burt’s Bees lip balms are unfortunately far too drying for me. Not sure what’s in the formulas that I’m reacting to, but I’ve tried 4 or 5 or 6! different BBs products and the same thing happens every time.

From what I hear, most of NYC hates Donald

HIIIIIIIIIIII. HIIIIIIIIIIII. HIIIIIIII.

Like that?

I resisted learning how to drive until I was almost 40 for many, many, many reasons. To save you a very complicated story of my emotional life (lol), I would highly recommend learning to drive. Consider it a life skill, like learning CPR, or learning how to swim. It was massively empowering and while I understand I…

Yes, I asked for a layoff because my job sucked, and so did my boss - but he was also a nice person (despite blaming me for everything, and telling me I sucked). We agreed that best case scenario was that he lay me off so I wouldn’t be destitute (quitting meant I didn’t qualify for any benefits), and we could both get…

I’m also a big MN and D16 fan!

I experienced similar heat in New Delhi. Coupled with the smog, I thought I was going to die from migraine pain.

56 C in central Egypt in a heatwave in the late 90s. 132 F I think.

I’m late to the conversation, but I’d like to say that being hounded for sex while simultaneously being bullied and criticized on a daily basis was my reality for almost 8 years. Unfortunately it never got better. Sending you strength and peace of mind. I second the suggestion that you seek individual therapy, rather…

I added you on twitter just now. Sending you and your kiddos hugs and good vibes!!

I love the colour, the silhouette, the sleeve length, the skirt length, the fold and pleats of the skirt in the front, and the lacy under layer. In case it wasn’t clear that I truly love everything about this dress but that fucking seam, lol.

That dress in gorgeous in every way except for the mid-torso seam that’s going on there (don’t know the technical term; I have a deep and abiding aversion to mid-torso seams). These kinds of seams are unflattering on anyone over a size 2 (makes boobs look like large boxes), and dated-looking on anyone under a size 2…

That actually brought tears to my eyes. I’m a sucker who still needs approval from my family (tho I’d like to change that)

I am IMPRESSED!
