    I am about it to finish the 5th year of a one line a day journal. It is organized by date, with 5 entries per day. So every year you can see what you were doing on that day over the years. It’s funny to see the patterns that life follows. Also to see how life has changed in five years. I do have a couple code words for illicit substance use, so I am keep track myself but if someone reads it later on they won’t know.

    Being in tune with my emotions has been crucial. Knowing when I’m in a down spell, or inching towards mania. If you know your body and mind better you can work with a health professional to come up with a plan to help through therapy, medication or both. I’ve been on anti depressants for over 10 years. They do not make me “happy” but they do flatten my mood swings so I am more stable.

    You take yourself everywhere you go, so you need to figure out how to live with you. Once you can do that then you can work on improving other relationships and aspects.

    You can do this.

    Please do not try to do this alone.

    Gore vs bush was the precursor, the Brooks Brothers riot shut down the recount in Miami and led to bush winning election. Many of the demonstrators were republican staffers.

    Check out the book “ no gods, no masters: an anthology of anarchism” By Daniel Guerin It can be tough to read, but it lays out a lot of history of anarchism and the practice of the movement.

    Bio shock was the first game that I was fully invested into the art of story telling, world building, and environmental depth. Knights of the old republic was my first foray into rpgs.

    Truth. Child care is never free. I’m just frustrated at them. I want to be like, do better! But also she is safe, she is fed, she is loved. It is just infuriating to deal with.

    Thanks for the thought out reply. I think my parents are unregulated. Raising a kid is hard. It exposes flaws that already existed. Is she fine, yes, is it annoying yes. Did they break her no.
