Spinster-ific: Addiction →

I’m outraged at the audacity of people to say Amy Winehouse deserved to die. You clearly know nothing of addiction. You have never seen your mother die from addiction. You have never seen your best friend struggle with addiction. You have never struggled with addiction.

I say I~Rivolta Femminile 1977
Who said that ideaology is also my adventure? Adventure and ideaology are incompatible. I am my own adventure. One day of depression on year of depression one hundred years of depression.
I discard ideaology and I no longer know anything; losing my way is my proof.
I no longer have a glamourous moment at my disposition.
I lose attractiveness.
You will not find an anchor-point in me.

Things I Will Never Do Again
Read this on Thoughts Catalougue:http://thoughtcatalog.com/2011/things-i-will-never-do-again/ and thought I’d write out my own list. I’m not great at being very definitive about things. And flat out saying I will never do something again, seems to almost be a backwards way of making it tempting again. But it is an interesting thought process and way to look at how you’ve already...

Firstly, I’m not sure where the original post went, I either said I can’t stand them lately or I’m tired of them. Either way, a couple of people originally asked me to explain, and then someone again asked yesterday, anonymously, so fine, I will do so.

An Inspirational Post
An acquaintance of mine recently wrote a blog post on facebook about the state of his life, the improvements he’s made and his plans for the future. I found it very well written and inspiring. It also hit some things right on the mark for me about what I am learning and what I need to do with my own life so I wanted to summarize and post some snippets here.

Self vs. security.
Freedom with loneliness.
Entrapment within companionship.
I feel almost incapable of stringing together coherent thoughts lately, especially in writing which used to be easier for me than speaking. But there have been lots of thoughts and feelings swirling around my head randomly and often in collision with eacother, paired with things happening in my life and to those around...

What Lucky People Do Different →
Recently I came upon a fascinating study by Richard Wiseman, a psychologist at the University of Hertfordshire. Wiseman surveyed a number of people and, through a series of questionnaires and interviews, determined which of them considered themselves lucky—or unlucky. He then performed an intriguing experiment: He gave both the “lucky” and the “unlucky” people a newspaper and asked them to look...
