I spent a lot of time defending myself, explaining I did not get everything I wanted handed to me on a silver platter, and this was not my choice that I was an only child.

This wouldn’t be a huge issue if I didn’t have internal freak outs every time I notice that something that I wrote is off centered, doesn’t fit in the space I had, or I misspelled something. Even when I’m making notes for myself, for some reason it’s very important to me ... Read More »
Happy Thursday, everyone! Not for me, though. I think today sucks balls. And I thought yesterday sucked balls, too. Who knows what kind of balls will be sucked tomorrow…. “Damn! Why’s Kate in such a shitty mood? What did Adam do!!!!” Actually, it’s not Adam at all – it’s 100% me. I’m in a really fucking shitty mood because……. I. Feel. Fat.
