Bad habits
Healing F**king Hurts sometimes
As this year comes to a close I am reflecting not only on my year, but also my almost 3 years on Vocal. I reached 1202 reads the other day and I just wanted to thank everyone that has supported me over these last few years. I came to Vocal to journal my life, and things I was going through at the time, and am still going through now. I wish I would have wrote more on here, not just about my life but just about anything and everything. Anyways I just wanted to take time to reflect on a few pieces I've written and make some updates on them. I hope for anyone that might be struggling with any of these topics can find some comfort in not being alone.

Reflections of Guilt: Seeking Redemption on my Asperger's Path
My aunt once imparted a powerful piece of wisdom that has resonated with me deeply. She shared, "Revenge is the worst wound you can inflict on yourself." Her words lingered in my mind, urging me to explore the complexities behind this notion. Reflecting on her insight, I began to unravel the multifaceted reasons why revenge can be a treacherous path to tread.

My family is forcing me to share a room with my horrible sister
Living with my older sister has been an perpetual struggle, to put it mildly. She's not just difficult; she's outright horrible. The depth of my hatred for her became fully apparent when she left for college, providing me with a brief respite from her oppressive presence. Our shared room, a battleground of conflicting preferences, epitomized the challenges of cohabitation.

As Told By: I’m A Mean Girl and I Hate Myself For it.
I have the self-awareness to admit that I’m a mean girl just like the great Regina George said, “At least I know I’m mean.” I guess I have the morality to admit to myself that it doesn’t make me feel good, but I keep doing it. I guess there is a part of me that wants to stop but I can’t.

I am you
As I purchase the ball of rice, as the yen drops to the dollar, I think of my comfortable life back in the United States. I sigh, feeling the insight, to live on the other side of the coin. Living so poorly, should I delve deep into romanticism, live in a dream like world, in love with grief and suffering. To dig a bit deeper, to feel a bit harder, to grit towards the brink of war. To have the hell, beaten out of me by the upcoming winter.

Ways to Incorporate Role Playing into Your Relationship . Content Warning.
It could be awkward to first introduce the concept of role-playing in the bedroom and acting as a “naughty” pilot who wants to be accepted into the Mile High Club alongside a seductive flight attendant. That may come across as a little corny. But for exactly that reason—to let go of your inhibitions and lean into something more lighthearted and liberating—you might want to give it a shot in the first place.

Three Moments
I feel like there is something I should have been told… 1. I was on a social media site, watching a video related to racism in the USA. I decided to repost it to friends whom I knew would be very interested in the issues covered. I received a very pointed message from a former student. Apparently, I did not set them up with a “trigger warning”. This bothered me, and I made it clear that life did not come with one, I never received one when I was being mistreated over my race, and that the rest of the world did not deserve to be coddled and protected from the true ugliness out there. My correspondent countered with the idea that movies come with ratings, so why can’t I provide a warning much in the same way? Right, the movies… A system of ratings created by the same industry in order to protect their backs from the press and local government (Hollywood is always out for itself; it is a real show business). I really did not know what to say, so I did not say a thing. I just make sure not to share these videos with this student (and should I mention that we are of the same race?)

Interview With The Men In The Mirrors
Thoughts spun, just out of reach. A kaleidoscope of colours and sounds and feelings, drifting, swirling. One comes tantalizingly close, an idea just centimeters away from real, words and dialogue. The unformed story drifts closer, and just as I stretch for, reach towards that shining, golden thought, it vanished. Lost in the maelstrom of memory and questions that tore through my mind.
