What makes you feel like offing yourself tonight - Page 2

Not thinking - clearly I need to do more of it. That IS the problem at night, some nights at least. Must work on learning to meditate.

Kintsugi is a beautiful concept. Thank you, foot3 - I've never run across it.

True. I think many people confuse its being simple with it being easy.

And you thought fat, dumb, and happy, was just an expression.

To my mind, it evokes images of C-section scars, laugh lines and worry lines, the dent on the ring finger of my left hand... Marks visible on the surface that tell a story. That I carry those marks, or see them carried by others indicates survival to me. Lots of things, people especially, are more valuable / important / interesting with experience.

Some would dismiss or discard an object or a person who shows such signs. I'm not one of them, I value such experience.

Word.
Perfection is boring. Damage is interesting, and survivors of damage are stronger than the beautiful, empty headed, still in the wrapper, models.

I am fat, smart, and happy.

Able... Oh great, what do I get out of it?

Baker... A couple days off, big scars, and hours of great bar stories.

Ortho...I have your number. Maybe I will send you mine. Your night time is my daytime, so why don't you just ring me when your brain is going stupid on you?

I will PM it. Use it whenever you need.

Just as an aside: that quote really pisses me the fuck off.

If it helps, he was comparing his wife to 23 year old bar sluts. I'm sure he'd find you sufficiently damaged by life to qualify as a real woman.

No offense intended to non mothers.
