I want the one I can't have, and it's driving me mad. It's written all over my face.

My former babysitter passed away this past Tuesday. She was the closest person to me that I've ever had to mourn. Our relationship was not like most nanny-child relationships. She was a part of the family; like a third parent to me and my brother. She had raised me since I was 8 weeks old, so that both my parents could work full time jobs, and even ( Read more... )

I'm going on a trip, and I haven't packed enough, or I've forgotten something important, or I didn't take anything but the clothes on my back, and it's too late to change it, and I'm freaking out. Can someone throw an existential ( Read more... )

So today is/was my 22nd birthday. I feel old. This was the most anticlimactic birthday ever. I think this is the first year that my birthday really is just another day. I've lost that birthday glow that I had the past 20 years (I doubt I was smiling on the day of my actual birth). It doesn't help that it's a Tuesday, I had to work all day, and it ( Read more... )
