We broke up because you went away and when you had the chance to get back to me, you chose somewhere else. I still have a box like Min’s. Its not in the back of my closet, its in the back of my heart.
Beautiful, heartwrenching line from a very dear friend of mine.
Feeling Watched: On codependency. Part 2 →
feelingwatched.tumblr.com
There can hardly be anything worse than a relationship of any kind between two codependent people.
The longer these people stick together, the greater the chances that they shape their entire existence in one another, which is a scenario that never ends up well for anybody.

Feeling Watched: Expectations →
feelingwatched.tumblr.com
When dealing with social situations, I always tend to elaborate way too many expectations, whether positive or negative. I take to “daydreaming” about how these interaction will unfold, what the other person might say, what I will answer, how I could successfully start interacting with somebody…
Feeling Watched: How much is too much? →
feelingwatched.tumblr.com
Normal people who make new friends and meet interesting acquaintances seem to have an inner radar as to how these interactions should proceed. All sorts of things like if and when it is appropriate to contact another person, how much time to wait to follow up if someone is not getting back in…

**In which it’s been a few hours/days since I sent the email.
Me: I should really have gotten an answer back on that email by now.
Me: Maybe your email was stupid.
Me: But I checked it until it was perfect!
Me: Well, then maybe they just don’t want to answer.
Me: But why?
Me: Maybe because…

Me: I should really get cracking with this email, it’s getting late (stares blankly at page for 30 minutes).
Me: Okay, so I should really just start, I’ll write whatever and then polish it later (writes the greeting line).
Me: This sounds stupid, try it again, come on (writes five different…
Feeling Watched: Making connections →
feelingwatched.tumblr.com
I love, absolutely love making new friends and connections. However, this is always a truly monumental task for me; which is why every connection I make is dear to my heart and I try to maintain it as best as I can (so, very badly then).
The most difficult part of the process is what I call the…
Ah yes, forgot to reblog this.

I really feel that having my cat around would make life so. much. better. Damn the rules on this stupid building.
People that think they are going to be magically independent when they
become 18graduate college…
I’ve decided that a radical change is needed. I’ve spent a great amount of time trying to determine what I want from life (as if a was a little kid thinking what she wants to bee when she grows up).
But what?
WriteWorld: Yo, Grammar: What's up with comma splices? →
writeworld.tumblr.com
You’re right: You should definitely look out for comma splices on the SAT.
A comma splice is a grammar error that is created by joining two independent clauses (complete sentences) with a comma.
Since we have two complete sentences, we would form a comma…
This is actually super useful.
Feeling Watched: More about focus →
feelingwatched.tumblr.com
I can’t. It’s impossible for me to focus on anything. I make lists and lists of “to do” stuff. Books I want to read, movies I want to watch, skills I want to learn. I get psyched about all the things I could do, because now I feel particularly inspired to go through with something (usually this…
My greatest fear...
…is dying without ever being satisfied about what I did with my life. If I died today, my biggest regret would be that I never got to, or never brought myself to do all the things I wanted to do.
What do I even want to do?
That is a question for the ages, but I’d hate leaving without at least finding out the answer.

Except sometimes I have to, because I say “I’m reading A Song of Ice and Fire,” and they’re all like “What?”.
WriteWorld: Creating Distinctive Characters (Visual Design) →

An article, to accompany this prompt about character design.
Why is it important that characters be distinctive?
Generally as an artist, you want your audience to sympathize with your characters, grow attached to them, and get to know them….
Feeling Watched: On friends →
feelingwatched.tumblr.com
I confess I am a terrible, terrible friend.
It’s as if I just can’t connect with anyone. I don’t ever exactly fit in.
It seems as though I’ve had every opportunity to make a new friend, and yet I seem to fail at it almost every time.
Perhaps, I think, potential or actual friends can…

Having to go do errands and not really wanting to because you have to deal with the sales people, public transportation people and just people in general.
Maybe I can put this off for a few more days. Maybe someone can come with and do all the talking.

Feeling Watched: Petty goals →
feelingwatched.tumblr.com
When you mostly go through life with no purpose, no meaning and no goals, you are basically living for the small things. Petty goals.
But the small things are frail, they can be taken away just as easily. Sometimes they may rely on people, and those people might go away. Sometimes they may be…

Adulting: Step 280: Never feel small or stupid for mourning a pet →
adultingblog.com
When a pet dies, sometimes you try to minimize the loss to yourself or others. Maybe you feel guilty for feeling so sad, or embarrassed about the depth of your grief, or like you should be over it, since it’s just a cat or dog.
These feelings, not the grief, are the unhelpful ones. We mourn the…
