To The Bravest Little Girl I Have Ever Known
You don't like to be called a little girl, and I don't blame you one bit. Your body matured earlier than your peers and men never let you forget it- ogling you from age 10. The meaningless fact that you got your period early and had boobs was a tool used to treat you like a grown-up when people wanted something done, and as a child when no one wanted to take you seriously.

Day 21
Day 21 Three weeks sober. It’s only been a week since my 14-day milestone, yet it feels like a year. Time is slower and populated by a consciousness I’ve never experienced. My mind and my body have reconciled and are speaking terms again, finally listening to each other.

Why was I so obsessed with horror as a young child?
I remember watching my first horror movie when I was somewhere between 7 and 8 years old; it was very late and I just stumbled upon a movie called "The Grudge". While I covered my eyes for most of the scary moments, I could not help but watch. I was hooked! I am almost certain my mom was asleep during the time I watched it, so it was no fault of her parenting that I ended up watching a very scary movie late at night, I was just a sneaky and curious kid.

LSD, Childhood Memories, And The Science Of Nostalgia
The weather forecast was gloomy, and the sky a dishwater gray. Not what many psychedelic users would consider good conditions for a trip, but something about it felt right. I grabbed a tiny glass vial out of the fridge and carefully siphoned out a small but solid dose, then waited nervously. Although LSD has never made me feel any genuinely negative feelings, I usually can’t say the same about the first hour long wait to feel something. But this time, the onset was remarkably free of anxiety. Long before the first effects made their appearance, I had a strong feeling that it would be a particularly special trip.
