Hurry Up & Wait!
Welcome, you. What was my tactic in my last letter? I’ll tell you what this one is; planning for the unplanned, figuring out the breaks in a pattern, and weak and strong points as well (I’ll explain this in paragraph three). It could potentially hold a big piece of information. But, as a being riding along a patterned based experience, prepare for the brakes. Was it Jackie Chan who said, “Expect the unexpected”? Probably not. But in my head, it was. I could sit here and throw unsound inductive arguments around for a while. Since you are me and I am you (the voice you hear when you read), fruits are on tress, trees are on earth, people are on earth. Then we’re probably peaches.

Me, myself and BPD
Hello.... I am Paul. I am 41 years old from Liverpool, England. I am writing about my life so far. It has been filled with glorious highs and incredible lows that are mostly self-inflicted, due to my inability to resist the unfortunate skill of acting on impulse. This instalment covers my childhood years.

Alcohol
Alcohol, the most prevalent and socially acceptable drug in America’s culture, is often called “liquid courage,” or “truth serum” due to the state of lowered inhibitions in the inebriated brain. There are not many other drugs that get you to cry while telling a group of disinterested people about the cat you lost when you were three. Cups be filled while guts be spilled!

Why Do I Cut Myself?
I’m a man for whom many would characterize as an unconscionable rogue. I did nothing for the world or anyone in it. Yet, and I’m biased on this matter, I was a deliciously likable rogue. It’s true, I was loud, sometimes aggressive (if I was obliged to fight, then fight, I would).

A Detour Through Portland
I had the most interesting little detour on my way to the Oregon Convention center this past Spring. My husband and I have one car. Since I am the one predisposed to public transportation, when our schedules conflict, I take the metro/bus. So I took my route one morning to volunteer for the vaccine effort and got off the bus to switch to the metro. At the metro station there was a man talking to himself very loudly as he raided the train station's trash cans.

Your Satisfaction is not Your Identity
Identity. Individualism. The downfall of the West. We have long been separated from something truly meaningful. We find our meaning through our outward projections of what we think is our entire self. But we are yet unaware or simply in denial about what is essential to human life.
