I just listened to an old episode of the Slowdown, a poetry podcast. I’ll link it. The host, before they even get to the poem, always does a little monologue, and in this episode, she talks about her journaling habits. I also struggle with keeping a daily log, I always feel like I’m not “doing it right” or like it sounds dumb or ingenuine when I read it later, but she described her way, and I’m gonna try it. You might like it too!

I’m posting this for the host’s discussion pre-poem, but the poem is great too!

Have a delicious day and good luck journaling xoxo

Babylove, can you re-read what you just wrote, please? “…afraid to your bones” ? That’s a panic attack. It doesn’t have to be like the movies where you fall down, hyperventilating. I come from an abusive home too, so I have a pretty good idea of who told you you have to be small, but you don’t have to minimize your experiences or silence your struggles! I’m just a stranger on the internet, so take my opinion w a grain of salt, or just throw it right away if you want. You deserve to be understood and respected.

Hope you have a calm and peaceful day xoxo

My ex girlfriend is a therapist, and she was CONSTANTLY “analyzing” me, even when I begged her to turn that shit off and just be my girlfriend.

According to the snopes article that someone else linked in this thread, mofine is spelled incorrectly on purpose. This is a make believe story with overt racist undertones; the “r” sound in morphine has been dropped to imply that the rx thief is a black person.

No, more like telling 35 different women 35 different fake birthdays so they get you some nice gifts while they’re all under the impression that they’re your only girlfriend. Nothing like wearing make up, you silly, woman hating, goose! Xoxo

I use my vibrator on my neck sometimes when I have a migraine, it works really well.

Proud of you

I thought of this immediately as well. What a strange story!

I used to work in the seafood industry and I got invited to a seafood expo once. There were tons of vendors and since I’m super poor and not fancy, i ate everything. Figured I’d never get another chance. I ate so much caviar and roe that day.

It’s fuckin’ nasty. Every species and preparation I tried. Tbf I was at an expo, not a nice resturant, but also tbf, it was an expo, they were trying to market their best products.
