I woke up this morning thinking of my mother, which made me cry. Because my mother always ends up making me cry one way or another ( Read more... )

Woke up about half an hour ago from a terrible nightmare.

Why, even when things seem to be going so well, must I be plagued with self-doubt?

Got up at 4 this morning to go to the gym, and I did that this past Monday as well. Since I started being more serious about going, and things being what they are in general, it's really become kind of a happy place for me.

My parents used to delight in telling me that my friends (including, of course, kassrachel) would never really stand by me in times of trouble and that I could only count on my family.
