I got chills when he said that line. Game wasn't wrong.

I'm nearby and we have been having lady bugs and stinkbugs everywhere too. Shits ridiculous.

Harambe would still be alive. We never should have built that collider.

I've been reaching out to people in my life, reminding them we will still have each other, and we will have each other here too, fellow Lemmings.

I love strong black teas. English Bteakfast is my go to, but I love a good PG tips now and again.

I just ordered a new AC after the last unit crapped out. In November. My heating is off and I am still wearing my light summer clothes. It used to be into the negatives this time of year and now it's T shirt weather. Normally we'd have a couple inches of snow by now, instead we don't even really get rain anymore. I don't think we can come back from this.

Been in a drought here since June. Terrified my well is going to run dry, terrified that we are going to have a forest fire.

I've missed this!

If we could all stop using wrenches on the wing nut wings and snapping them off that would be great. Either get the wing nuts with the wrench base or hand tighten only!

Here is my advice. When someone tells you who they are believe them. Get out. DO NOT contact police or any kind of law enforcement until you are gone and safe. People like this will escalate if they feel threatened.

You can get new documents, clothes and items. Even if you only escape with the clothes on your back, wallet and phone. Make sure your family cannot track your phone. Make sure any communication you have with your helpers is locked down. Use an app your family doesn't use or understand, like Snapchat or Discord. Have your helpers or uber pick you up a few houses down in the middle of the night if you have to.

You would be surpised who still cares for you. Reach out to family, to old friends, to anyone you think could help, either by giving you a ride or taking you in for awhile. I haven't talked to my best friend from collage for over a decade, but if she called me needing help I would drop everything and head her way.

Also, I live east coast and hell, maybe I could give you a ride to somewhere depending on where you are going.

Lastly, please take this seriously. You are not overreacting. Your life may very well be in danger, and just like with any other abusive relationship, leaving is the most dangerous part. Nothing you own outside of your ID and medications are worth dying for.

This made me cry, and I don't know why.

 

I have what I call the Feeling Things Meter. Meaning that in a certain period of time, about one to three days, I have a set amount of feelings I am allowed to feel. If I exceed the number of feelings and fill up the meter I blank out and get to feel nothing at all. I can feel the Meter filling up, and I know when I am about to exceed it.

This also applies to feelings from movies, shows, games books and music. So I have to carefully plan out my entertainment around life events as best I can.

As you can imagine it becomes incredibly hard to navigate adult life with no feelings. And not just the big feelings but the little ones too. No drive to go out and do the shopping. No satisfaction of completeing a task. No disappointment if I screw something up. Nothing.

No one else in my life has this, or anything close to it. Most people look at me like I'm a crazy person when I try to explain it. I'm always making excuses for not wanting to watch movies or shows with friends, or bailing when a sad song comes on.

Please, I just want to know someone else has this problem. Anyone. How do you cope? Do you even listen to music? Do you have to leave movies halfway through becuase you couldn't take it?

I just want to know I'm not alone.
