i find this list inspiring.
Me too.
rock on.
Now that I don't feel guilty about being mean/negative/unhappy, I find that I am rarely mean/negative/unhappy. Why can't they* learn that not being allowed to have these feelings is what exacerbates them? I yell this question to the gods nightly. Actually, I yell it less frequently now, as I have more important things to think about.
*I don't know who they is. Every person I've dated and most members of my family, I think.
i LOATHE communicating through movie quotes. i have a whole theory about it. and encylopedic knowledge of bands/albums. the are linked through my tandem-hate.
Yes, these two traits often go hand in hand. I would like to hear your theory...wonder if it resembles mine.
After I read this I felt positively drunk. Drunk with sad. Drunk with happy. Drunk with uncompromising honesty. Yet, needless to say, I haven't been drinking.
Oh, I've missed you!!! And look at your hottie photo!
