I prefer baby pictures, personally.
I've been doing well lately. Evie attributes it to my running, but I believe that's just one of several elements working in tandem. The fact that I am creating and also spreading my entertainment sources across several options rather than trying to "finish" things is also helping, I'm sure.
But I came here to admit that I'm having a bit of a relapse presently. My triggers are hard to predict, come without warning. This one's been a few days now. I don't want to dwell, and I'm getting ready to go for my Saturday morning 3.5 miles, but I just want to put it out there, here in my safe and yet public place where no one looks. Perhaps I'll eject it through perspiration. Or perhaps I'm already transferring it away through words. I just want it gone.

Unrelated, but something else I wanted to plop here. In second-person but almost certainly never to be read by the inspiration.
Your crusade against "they" is laughable. You post things "they" will remove from your wall, but not because "they" want to silence you. Rather, because "they" forbade you from posting images of mutilation on their service and you agreed to abide. You're not fighting the good fight. You're being obnoxious to your friends. Realize this. The people who haven't unfriended or blocked you already, they agree with you for the most part. Yes, Monsanto is bad. Shoving evidence into our faces and presenting it in a way that suggests that we are culpable through our inaction is not winning people over against "them" but against You. Tell me about your active protests, tell me what you are doing and how I can help. Don't tell me I'm a monster because I'm not... actually, your poorly-created graphics never get as far as saying what I can be doing. "Stop Monsanto" or whatever the target of the week happens to be isn't very helpful, and I'm not willing to believe that your effortless sharing of provocative and shaming images is advancing the cause.
When you post images of death and mutilation, "they" aren't the ones flagging your images for removal. I am. I don't need your triggers, and I know I'm not the worst-affected. When your graphic propaganda is pulled from your page, it's not because you're being silenced. It's because you're being an asshole.
