A bit stressed about Thanksgiving, although somewhat surprising more of it is coming from my own family than the large group of near strangers I will be spending the day with at my girlfriend's house. It's Thanksgiving and I'm grateful I have a family, but I don't know at what point a small room...

May I ask what you do to identify and reinforce what is important? Maybe it's a silly question and I'm overthinking an obvious thing, but I find I have a disconnect between identifying whether or not things really matter/are important and believing (or "feeling) that they are. I was just...

Looking for Alaska (mini-series) - 6.5/10 I had mixed feelings watching this. Lot's of things I thought were great like the casting and the way particular parts of the book were adapted, but overall I thought it drifted a little farther from the source material at times in feel than I liked. It...

I am excited, she has announced a small tour in North America and one stop is near me! I don't want to get too exited, but based on her most recent album I think it's going to be a great show.

I'm not sure if it's universally considered as rude. I think one-upmanship is in basically all situations somewhat rude (although easy to do mindlessly), but I'm not sure that's always the feeling conveyed when sharing a similar experience. I think the closest example of this I can think of is...

I think there's a point when hopelessness becomes so great that it is actually freeing. For example, unless you're chained to the radiator you could walk out and leave the house whenever you liked and not return. There's an infinite number of ways to escape on a scale from reckless, risky, and...

I've always considered myself an above average storyteller. The technical side of converting the stories from idea to paper I don't think I excel at as much though. I always find myself grasping for words I can't find or worried I am making some basic grammatical mistake that is just going...

After a month of tiredness I splurged and bought a mattress set. My plan is once it gets here next week I'll push it up a flight of stairs, maneuver it onto my bed frame, and fall upon it for a good 26 hours of sleep or so.

This cartoonist gets me.

Lately I keep having this dream where I go back in time, to like the 90's, and then have to try to explain to people what smart phones and the (modern day) internet is. Also desperately try to remember what stocks and sports teams will make me the most money.

I found it relevant, with your solution in particular being so. I'm glad it has worked for you. Despite the sound logic, I can't always convince myself that it would work out that way, so its nice to hear. Perhaps figuring out how to create happy memories is what my focus should be on. It's...

Everything you said makes sense, and a lot of it echoes ideas given in an blog post about Emotional Flashbacks that a friend shared with me that I found particularly fitting to my experience. It sounds like you work through the childhood grief with a mature, adult mindset which is one solution...

I was going through some things and came across a middle school yearbook and decided to thumb through it for fun...and it was not fun. Just every row had a person I hadn't thought of in a long time, and some specific awkward instance from 15 years ago along with it. It was middle school, so of...

I saw her live last month, she's awesome (y)

I've been a bit grumpy an irritiable lately, especially this morning. Glad I'm going to see Anna Nalick today, I always feel better afterwards.
