on the drive home from my cousin's labor day picnic in pittsburgh. I really love and appreciate seeing my family, as much as several of them are extremely socially awkward and don't know how to hug, make small talk, say goodbye when leaving, etc. this is frustrating because it makes my partner feel unloved (she thinks it means they don't like her ( Read more... ) -

it's taking longer than it should today to get home because I'm going home in the middle of the day instead of in the blackest night like it's been recently. so I shouldn't complain, right? :) (the point being that there is less frequent public transport in the middle

[NOTE: this turned out to be extremely long! you don't really have to read it! but it's a fun exercise--consider writing one to yourself, too :)]
From me today, to me 10 years in the past (end of year, 2000; I was 22)
Oh my. Oh. My. I don’t mean to scare you....but you’ve got one hell of a decade coming ahead of you. Excuse my language, but trust ( Read more... ) -
on hate, and how recognizing it can clear up some things about love.
tl;dr.
Last Friday night I had a slightly scary experience, which I managed to twist into an excuse to have some peanut butter ice cream for dessert. I was traumatized, for heaven’s sake!
