Update
I've gone back to therapy. I have my second appointment in two months tomorrow. It is so terribly hard to try, but I swear I am. I just don't know how much longer I can do it. I think I might be broken beyond repair. Every single day is a struggle and I am a poison to the people around me. -
Sad Tidings

He accomplished everything by staying in one place or the other, and the mail was a lot slower ( Read more... ) -
Random thought
So, if all matter is made up of particles, and all antimatter is made of antiparticles, and if they balance each other out in baryogenesis, might it not so much be an annihilation of both, but rather a change in the perception of the combination into something perceivable by no matter-sensing process?

Bettering Oneself
There are resolutions like losing weight and paying down debt, and then there are the nagging resolutions that we keep to ourselves, the things that we really do feel are parts of our personality in need of work. As someone with a great deal of doubt and self-loathing I know that I constantly do this, and there is no end to the improvements I wish ( Read more... ) -
My soul is black, black like my soul
I just realized that I have 6 black sweaters, 4 gray, and nowhere close to as many of any other shade. I need some color in my wardrobe, stat! If only I had money to splurge on clothes shopping.
