There is no actual homework, per se, but rather instead a “game” where in an attempt to build self-esteem one has to figure out and list what their good traits are. Be sure to be honest and add things like what others think, personality, physical traits, accomplishments, and abilities. Unlike real life, where you don’t… Continue reading Doing my homework! Part 3

Doing my homework! Introduction to part 3
In the next assignment I am asked to finally go and drown myself instead. No, just kidding. But I do have to accept that I get rid of the old me and kill her off. I have been again ahead of the game and saw this one coming, but this is the time to really… Continue reading Doing my homework! Introduction to part 3
Money does have more value when you spend it for the right reasons
As I ate a sandwich at work today…I thought about my Love. How he taught me how to handle my knife and fork, as I eat. How he thought it was cute how I’d get food on my face by accident sometimes. The bread had a nice crunch to it, and it made me think… Continue reading Money does have more value when you spend it for the right reasons
Because you’re a crazy person right now
Somebody said that about me. Well, not directly, but it still applies. I talked with a therapist today about myself. Thank goodness for Maven Clinic! It’s a women-only resource for women to be able to see doctors. (I only knew about it by accident as an online user tester.) I wish I could spread the… Continue reading Because you’re a crazy person right now
Heartbroken over what-if
Outside were two fire trucks, and ambulance, sirens going off, and children screaming. And all I’m doing is sitting sadly with my cheesecake (that is already completely gone now), chewing slowly. If I actually lived in this apartment complex, this would be terrifying. But I don’t, so I feel numb instead. The memory of the… Continue reading Heartbroken over what-if
Wishing to sleep in the same bed
One of the most important things to me about being with my Love was to being allowed to sleep in the same bed. When that ended, I was super upset and it really shattered my world. It's almost easier to stay away completely, rather than sleep one room away. I still think about it even… Continue reading Wishing to sleep in the same bed
Learn to love yourself?
The words still ring through my ears and hurt like acid on the eyes: my Love has told me before that he wants me to love myself first (or maybe more, or something like that) before I can have his love. I find this to be a very difficult idea. How can I do that… Continue reading Learn to love yourself?
Rules for…fair fighting?
https://youtu.be/t2bZTePuHb0 I found this video that does an excellent job defining how to demonstrate respect in a relationship. But they define it in the sense of fighting. Not quite the angle for handling a discussion that I would have expected! But interestingly enough, these principles date back to the 70’s, so rest assured, they have… Continue reading Rules for…fair fighting?
