An entire bottle of jojoba oil just shattered on my bathroom floor. Amber bottle, glass dropper, disintegrated. There’s glass in my feet. I had to throw away the bath mats.
I’m pretty sure I pissed off someone’s god tonight. Fortunately, I don’t complain on Facebook.
Something to listen for:
If you tell someone, “I feel this way,” and their response is “You don’t really feel that way,” they are saying you don’t know what you want and they do.

Only you can decide what’s true. Good luck.
You’re so fucked up, Revolution 9 sounds melodic.
On a Saturday, I walk down to the Mecca the same way I do most every day. This is the day when at least one person comments on my hair or clothes or tattoos. Never fails.

Walking down the hill, I know what’s going to happen. Part of me is still in denial. Maybe she’s doing better? Maybe the vet has a new idea? Maybe there’s a cure to getting older? I know it’s not true. I know I’m walking my 16-year old cat to her last vet appointment. I feel like a horrible person. Continue reading RIP Bryn Kitty
The most important thing I learned in Psych 101 is that phobia are not just fears. Fear, worry and other forms of discomfort are natural feelings that everyone has from time to time. A phobia is a condition where something specific triggers a fear so crippling it prevents someone’s daily routine. A fear of heights means you get nervous crossing a bridge.
