Roller Coasters and Trampolines
Do your ups and downs have forward motion -- or do you keep revisiting the same spot over and over again?
The Honesty Exchange (Revisited)

Angry White Woman
I'm angry. I'm angry, and it's not just because recent events have exposed my complacency with an imbalanced system because I was under the impression that "things will get better." I mean, that makes me angry. It makes me angry to have been so wrong. It means I was believing lies and avoiding truths. There… Continue reading Angry White Woman

Which made the collective group go *gulp*. My friend communicated back (because yay communication!) for clarification on what "limited… Continue reading I Choo Choo Choose You!
Deconstructing the destruction: How Professor Snape and Lily Potter’s eyes can help you process your most recent breakup
I used to "fall in love" online every twenty-two minutes. That's an exaggeration, but suffice it to say that as a very young adult (and sometimes teenager) I would meet people online and start developing emotional attachments to them very quickly.
