What's the point?
I keep thinking about all of the people out there whose lives are miserable, whether it's because of poverty, political oppression, social oppression, or physical or emotional illness. Why do we persist? Sometimes I'm surprised the suicide rate isn't higher. If life does not bring one joy, what is the point in living? Do we, as beings, matter? If ( Read more... ) -
Humans are morons
I truly believe that. Humans are morons. We think we're so smart, but what is our frame of reference? I'm sure dogs think they're pretty damn smart, too. I'm fairly certain that there are whales smarter than us, if such a thing can be compared. We've been studying ourselves for several thousand years and only understand the tip of the iceberg. Yet ( Read more... ) -
finding/redefining
Shirley Valentine, you are every woman who has ever been lost.
I am lost. I am searching for the woman I am to become. I am searching for the pieces of who I once wanted to be and the pieces of the woman I want to be now. Somewhere between the two sides is the woman I am becoming. -

Chincoteague
Chincoteague was 5 lovely days & nights of feeling mostly normal and being in one of my favorite places. Klonapin (sp?) is wonderful, except that I can't stay on it because it is physically addictive ( Read more... ) -
nothing to fear but fear
It's easy to say, "There's nothing to fear but fear itself.'
It's quite another thing to truly believe it, to live it.
I have to stop reading so much. Now I've added a new fear-that I have heart disease. I read the symptoms, for women & there aren't many & sound somewhat like what I'm experiencing, so of course I went downhill, from the anxiety ( Read more... )
