I’m making plans to go away for a month to focus on my sobriety and to continue my life in recovery. Please enjoy making fun of me on the world wide web.
what do you think it takes to be a good writer?
i think that being a good writer involves mainly 1. reading and 2. writing. you have to read, like a fuck ton, if you’re going to take it seriously and know what you’re doing. trying to be a writer without reading a lot is like saying you’re going to be an olympic swimmer but don’t like going in pools. read a lot, of everything of all different genres, figure out what you like and what you don’t, and why. read things that make you feel like a complete failure and disappointment because you’ll never be able to write anything even close to that good. and then you have to pick yourself up and write stuff anyways. this advice has been given a million times a million ways; there’s no way around it, the only way to be a writer is to write. even if it’s bad, even if you don’t want to, even if you have better things to do or you’ve finally made peace with the fact that you just aren’t flannery o'connor/junot diaz/alice walker/whoever. you have to write stuff - not like a novel a month, but some stuff - and then look at it again afterwards and try to write it better. that’s it. i can’t promise that if you do those things you will be a good writer, but i can promise that if you don’t do those things you won’t.
how tall are you? will you ever need a personal intern like the one laneia is having? (if these questions don’t seem related, it’s because they are not)
1. 5'6"
2. yes. i need one right now actually. more on this later.
laneia. time to get personal. do you shave your armpits? how do you feel about this question? is that ok what i just did?
i am currently in the swing of shaving my underarms. sometimes i don’t shave and sometimes i do. i feel like this question isn’t nearly as personal as the one that’s three down, which i’m so not answering.
i just started taking celexa b/c my therapist told me to. so far i have 10x my normal anxiety because i am so scared/reluctant about it. i don’t want to feel numb, or need to take meds forever. do my feelings really need to be treated? am i being a baby?
you’re not being a baby. the first couple of weeks on a new thing can sometimes be worse than the weeks leading up to taking the new thing. so be patient and know that there is (hopefully) and end in sight.
if you feel numb, tell your doctor that you want to try something else. tell your doctor that you don’t want to take meds forever and ask for (and follow) their suggestions w/r/t steps you can take / tools you can learn to possibly make yourself feel the way you want to feel, hopefully one day w/out meds.
i can’t know if your feelings really need to be treated. but i do know that treating them will likely make a lot of things easier, and while no one promised you a rose garden, don’t you think you at least deserve a chance at ‘easy’?
I’m going to prom with my girlfriend and I kind of want to do the whole prom thing, like with photos before and stuff but neither of us have told our parents that we’re dating and I guess this is just making me sad. also we have no friends, so we can’t ev
going to prom with your best friend is a thing, right? people besides me do that? i think you can pull this off. without even having to tell your parents, if you don’t want to. i’m sorry that you’re sad. also, if worst comes to worst you can skip prom and stay at home eating candy and watching daria together, which would maybe actually be more fun?
This weekend, one third of Michigan Law’s 2011 class walked out of their own graduation ceremony to protest an anti-gay graduation speaker. Lucky for us, Sarah was there for the whole thing.
am i a bad person for being with someone who loves me, but who i don’t love, just because i don’t want to be alone because i’m sad all the time? i am leaving in a month anyways and never coming back.
no, you’re not a bad person, you’re just a sad person doing what you have to do to get through the day. it happens. we’ve all done it. i keep thinking of this line in a lorrie moore story from ‘anagrams’ where the narrator is having sex with this guy and she hasn’t had sex in ages … “life is hard. here is someone.”
you’re both getting something
out of the relationship
even if it’s not the same thing.
you’re leaving in a month.
if you feel bad about your current relationship
learn from it, is all.
keep your head up, babe
and you’re not alone.
it gets better
because we get better.
we love you
