Perhaps I’ll dive back into 43Things. Maybe that will lift my spirits. 2 months ago

I think that’s a huge generalization. Although, I mean, I guess it could sometimes be true. Personally, I’ve been distracting myself from this too long. I have ignored my mental illness and now it’s catching up to me. I have a vague idea why I’m depressed, and I know what needs to be done.

I see what Seligman is getting at, I just find that a lot of psychiatric studies are very gender-biased and tend to portray women as being the sadder sex, therefore weaker.

Although, I guess you can’t really be prejudiced in a scientific study if there are facts, so take what I say with a grain of salt. 2 months ago

It means so much. 2 months ago

What a cute little collection of heart-themed photographs! I recommend this quick read to anyone, of all ages. 2 months ago

I will be back to Pennsylvania come April 21st or so, and if I can time off of my job, I will definitely do this. I would love to meet you beautiful people. :) 2 months ago

I feel so deflated and strung out.
I don’t want to do anything but smoke weed, eat, and watch television in my bed. Which I don’t think is a very good sign that I’m getting “better”... 2 months ago

Absolutely breathtaking illustrations, each one more elaborate and creative than the last. Lovely! 2 months ago

always wanted to do it. :) 3 months ago

SO MUCH FUN3 months ago

cute.
i want a baby, just not responsibility wise. just to dress him/her up and do cute things with.
but then i realize,
nahhhh i don’t want a baby. even with a nose like that. 4 months ago

i went out for my nightly smoke roughly half an hour ago
the wind is howling, and as i exhaled, i felt slightly in control
which is unusual,
as i never feel this way.

i enjoy the independence i have in university
and after spending a month back “home,”
i reached a point where i realized why i left:

i didn’t belong there.
and this vastness of my newfound youth and free will,
makes me wonder
if i’ll ever belong anywhere. 4 months ago

Easy quick read, but still had a lot of depth. Well written for a young adult novel. I really like John Green.

That’s the thing about pain. It demands to be felt.4 months ago

For my Secret Santa, I got some Stash tea and Lush products (massage bar, soap, sugar scrub, and shower gel)... It all smells so incredible and I am a huge Lush fan. Santa, you really couldn’t have done better with this! It’s so on spot and so “me!” I can’t wait to use the products and have some tea later on today! It means so much.

^{Now maybe this can make me actually send mine! I’ve been so busy and I know it’s no excuse but I just… yeah.}4 months ago

And I received so many lovely cards from so many lovely people.

Thank you Tarrador, Cats5Kids3, TG, Sabryn, newsurfiegirl, buffalosnowangel, and Kimber. I really appreciate it, and it totally made my day after a very crummy weekend.

Hopefully I’ll hear from some people if/when they get my cards! :) 4 months ago

Nice illustrations, I really liked the one of the moon. 4 months ago

I’ve always had a fascination with Antarctica, so this was a really cool book and I actually learned a few things. 4 months ago

I didn’t know you very well, Kate. And it would not be fair to those who did for me to say otherwise.

With that being said, I realized the other day that you left a comment under one of my entries on the beat my depression goal. You assured me things would get better. Months have passed since this comment, but I’m starting to believe your words. Not wanting to hurt myself is magnificent progress. I really shouldn’t feel embarrassed because I am not Happy at this stage in my life.

Your wisdom, kindness, and undying love, will be your legacy and you will never be forgotten.

Thank you. 4 months ago

Because Christmas is now over, I will be making “New Years” cards. Hope that doesn’t bother anyone! :) 4 months ago

I’m so sorry to my Santa-ee but I’ve been loaded with schoolwork (even over the break!) Your gift is being wrapped tonight and will be sent tomorrow morning! Hopefully you will get it in the new year. So, to all who have not gotten theirs yet, at least one of you will have it! My sincerest apologies for the lateness.

PS Are we supposed to stay secret? Or should we reveal ourselves after the gift is revealed? 4 months ago

An interesting balance of social dilemmas, academia warfare, and laughter. Nonetheless, worth it. 5 months ago
