Wimp
I just realized how terrified I am to do things by myself. This is sad. I will think of every reason not to go out. If I lived alone I’d probably starve. That’s my confession for the day.

New Year
I usually place more emphasis on November 1st as a new beginning, but I also feel that you can turn over a new leaf every day if that’s what it takes. So here are some resolutions I have:  -Stick to my goals and let go of fear of failure  -Cut back on small purchases that add up  -Exercise more often  -Eat less sugar  -Work on my OCD

Denial
You either care about animals or you don’t. If you say you care about animal rights, but only mean the cute ones…that means nothing. “I don’t eat anything with a personality; that’s why I’m pescatarian!” Well, I know a lot of people who don’t have any personality, as well as a few ugly ones. But I don’t treat them with cruelty.

Gender
I recently realized that I have been rejecting my femininity because women in my family portray the kind of woman I don’t want to be. Not to say that all of their traits are negative; on the contrary, they’re the most admirable and loving of women. But they are martyrs. They sacrifice their own happiness for the sake of men. They try too hard to be beautiful for men. They give up other...

Meditation
I suffer from a couple of mental “discomforts” that are known to often be alleviated by meditation. I have been working on this off and on for a couple of years but don’t practice consistently. One reason is that after I do, I notice that I feel extremely emotionally sensitive. Absolutely nothing can trigger tears, which are usually a bit harder to compel (if only slightly). What...

My Battle
I would like to think of myself as a kind person; it’s what I strive for, kindness being my most important value. I would also like to see myself as intelligent and somewhat knowledgeable. Many people have mental disorders, and I never try and  define them by those disorders. But sometimes my depression swallows up the person I try to be so much that I break that rule against myself.
