What strategies do you use to cope with negative feelings? Usually I like to cope with my emotions by not coping with them at all, or at least permanently. You see, there’s always something to be bummed by. And once you finally get over one thing, there’s another thing right around the corner to make…

I’ve always envied people who had big families. Growing up I spent so much time alone wishing I had a sibling or cousins or anyone. Instead, my mom tried to be my friend and I had our dog. I often feel that the reason I am unfamiliar with the meaning of boredom is because I…

Back when I was growing up, books were one of my biggest sources of entertainment. I loved to read. Not especially fiction books, but I wanted to read about historical events, peoples opinions, ideas, etc. I love the idea of reading. I own hundreds of books. I once worked at a niche bookstore.

I answered one of those daily prompts about something that I needed to do but hadn’t. I railed and whined about how my health was in a bit of a bad spot and that the great American way of have health insurance or go fuck yourself, was not working well for me. I knew I…

What have you been putting off doing? Why? I’m sitting here wiping away tears trying to find something to feel positive about for fear that my stress will make everything worse. You see, I’m avoiding getting my bloodwork done and seeing my doctors. Ever since I was fired by a company that doesn’t even deserve…
