Another Fad

The thread began with the usual curiosity from a monogamous person: "can you truly find happiness with multiple people?" But it was a passing comment on a forum jarred me out of my browsing: "Polyamory is such a fad." Even without voice, I could feel the

TBT: I could use a head pat right about now.

Throwback Thursday: a note on Feb 5, 2018. Fang: [Vanille]'s a crybaby, though! She cries as soon as she gets lonely or insecure. But if I stroke her head, she stops as if nothing is wrong. Lebreau: In that case, you’ll need to find her quickly and

"Identity Diffusion. The eternal dilemma."

It's weird to wake up not knowing who you are. You do all this stuff, you enjoy these things, yet you still wake up wondering what your "thing" is. And in a strange show of wanting to feel included, you leave hints that you'd

The Halloween Post

It's the last day of the month, so I suppose I address two topics: National Coming Out Day and Halloween(ish). I've been thinking about the latter, and the former will be scheduled over the weekend. All's (s)hallow Perhaps it's because

A Playlist While I Am Depressed

I haven't been talking much. Or doing much of anything, really, beyond existing and feeling pretty bad ab-- Sorry. "Pretty bad" is a terrible understatement. I'm depressed. Capital D Depressed. Alanis Morissette, "Tapes" All these tapes in my head swirl around Keeping
