I loved flaked because it was so much like my real life! I TOO killed someone, faked being sober and being in AA and tricked EVERYONE into thinking I was a sober, pretended to be deep and enlightened and repentant to get people to sleep with me. I didn’t treat them like shit though, I AM JUST COMPLICATED, OKAY? LIFE…

This is pretty much the exact age that my wife’s father left her and her 2 siblings behind. We still hear from him from time to time, but it amazes me how she manages to not be bitter towards him.

How painful that you couldn’t be there at the end. But your writing is wonderful. Give yourself some downtime; it takes the pain a long time to lose its sharp edge, but it really never goes away.

We were in a totally average Marriott a couple of weeks ago to visit family and my 10 year old said to me, “Mom. I love staying in such a fancy hotel. Can we come back here one day and not have any plans and just spend the entire weekend in the hotel and just swim in the pool and get room service?”

Thanks for posting the victims pictures and not the guy who did this.

I have a theory that Leonardo DiCaprio doesn’t actually have sex with the huge number of women he brings back to his room, he just really likes board games.

I was with a dude who liked to finish on my glasses.

edit for clarification: obviously while I was wearing them, not just like...swing over and jizz all over them on my nightstand.

Reachingggggg.

I love Romance by Ralph Lauren abd there is something in it that irritates my skin :(

Oh that SUCKS.

YEAH! Long distance moves are so amazing. You get a really good sense of what you’re made out of and what you’re capable of and it’s just completely awesome. I’ve moved and come back a couple times and I wouldn’t trade it for the world!

Ha! Thanks! It doesn’t even have to be underwear. I find having little inside jokes with myself helps me get through a lot of bureaucratic nonsense. One of the first awards I got at my current job, after a bumpy patch with my new boss was a gift certificate I could use at like 200 places. I went to Red Envelope, I got…

I don't know you but I do know that YOU WILL DO GOOD. Please don't worry too much. ❤️

I have tons of cute flats and boots from Marshall’s, White House Black Market, Forever 21, and a few other places. When I feel friskier, I wear my flats in and switch up to some cute heels (not stilettos, but stacked boot heels and some awesome pumps) for a bit of a change. In the winter, I keep things pretty basic…

I wear multicolored and patterned tights to spice up my outfits. Also I have a lot of cardigans and corduroys. Layers are amazing - you can wear a nice long-sleeve or even short-sleeve blouse over some slacks, cords, or a skirt with tights and add a scarf and your coat for warmth.

You got this.

Congratulations on the new job! Don’t be too scared. You were brave enough to take the leap & can get through the transition. If you don’t have friends or family in the area, join your local alumnae club, and use Meet Up to find people who like the same hobbies / activities you do.

I worked today and actually delivered my file with an extensive email detailing the amount of research I had done and how I went with the official translation of the source material for it. I am now heating up some leftover baked rice with chicken and chorizo (Jamie Oliver recipe) and Imma watch last night’s Sherlock…

You are badass and brave. Internet stranger high-five!
