sometimes, i sit and think, why do i not remember my childhood? i'm 31 years old now and it's like a blank space before the age of ten. it's not that i've forgotten individual memories here and there; there's just nothing there at all!!! it's almost like those first formative years have vanished into thin air and i'm…

Ever thought about sending an anonymous message just for the fun of it? That's me right now, fired up with the idea of sending a little cheeky note to my old boss. Yeah, the same old boss who had me doubting my sanity every day at work. You know how some folks just can't handle a simple email without turning it into a…

Health and Wellbeing Stories

Does anyone else have dreams of falling ALL the time? It's been happening almost every night lately, and I'm at a loss for what it means. 🤔 They come with this weird feeling, like my entire body's just been dropped into some abyss. I've read somewhere that it could be related to stress but who knows if that's true.…

When pals were plentiful
Friendship Stories

I miss having my crew of friends. Moving to where I have, I'm new here. Got no one. With everything else.. it's just an odd thing for me. To be without friends.

i can't help but wonder if there's something genuinely wrong with me when I find myself concocting elaborate fictional scenarios in my head. it's almost compulsive, like an annoying mental itch that won't go away. i don't mean thinking about potential outcomes of real-life situations; no, this is entirely different.…

Here's the situation: I'm 22 and started dating my friend's sister, who's 20. Now he's mad at me. Why? I don't get it!!! I've seen the movies where this is a big deal, but isn't this the real world? We're not in high school anymore! Sure, I value his friendship, but am I supposed to avoid someone just because she's…

A tiresome relational overreach
Friendship Stories

I don't know, I don't like it when people ask about my life or what I do. It bothers me; they feel like they're meddling in very important matters, and I don't want them to. They should stick to what I can offer and stop there; I'm not obligated to explain anything. I feel like sometimes I have to, just like I have to…

I'm itching to run fast!
Friendship Stories

The guy was really nice, but he was definitely playing me, and that scares me. (I made a post a while ago, but the character limit wasn't the same as usual, which is strange.) I don't feel comfortable with him. I don't see a happy future with him in that sense because he was too careful with those details, way too…

I betrayed my boss because he betrayed me. He looked after his own image, not mine. I was going to be relegated to the office of an outcast, someone no one could do anything about, and I couldn't allow that. The resulting repercussions were going to be overwhelming, given how much I was being sidelined, and that's…

I feel like he's a good friend, but I feel like he's lacking something to be with me. We struggle to connect, and although it's exciting, I'm not one to stay in my comfort zone with someone. It becomes addictive in a way, which isn't what I'm looking for in a person, and in fact, that's how my relationships are…

i remember reading an article which stated that life is a series of choices, and i found it resonates with my situation. my husband and i have been married for twenty years; we share a home and family but our life isn't as picture-perfect as one might think. his aggressive behavior escalates at times, leading to…

caught feelings for someone who was never mine to begin with. how did i let myself even get to this point... it’s funny like, you find yourself daydreaming about scenarios that will never exist and suddenly it feels tragically bittersweet when reality sinks in. friends asking if something is going on and you’re here…

Wow, the office is fertile ground for throwing shade at everyone. Nobody there knows what's going on, it seems to me, and I don't think I'm any different from what a professional would say, what a conversation is like. Everyone's always taking jabs at each other in some way. The girl I'm working with, my friend, my…

I don't want to share my knowledge with the office, my reflections, which will remain solely with me in the future. I'm not interested in doing so; it truly pains me, because they're supposed to know all these things, but they don't. They don't act according to protocol, but rather by chain of command, in a way that's…
