She can be very charming, you know. Say the right words, put on the right costume. She smiles and laughs– and it rings hollow to me, but others seem to think it’s natural. It’s nothing like the tinkling glass chimes that is my youngest munchkin’s laughter, the kind that sounds like a waterfall. You’d never …
Such a good line. It’s a Princess Carolyn line. From Bojack Horseman. What would I do differently? I’d talk less, smile more. Eat more fresh fruit, drink less– no. No, I wouldn’t. I’d do it all the same, more or less. I’d probably have most of the same virtues and vices. Still waste lots of …
you are worthy of being seen, heard, felt, loved of feeling secure, protected, helped, supported of waking up to happy thoughts once in a while of falling asleep, knowing someone’s got you so you can let go of having enough food, a safe place to live, and means to mend a broken 💔 or body …

Ouch, stupid her, leaving a stray Lego piece on the floor. She could not do a single thing right today. What was she now? Without him, she felt lost, falling apart. She picked up the Lego piece.

I like kisses. I’m a bit funny about it, but I like them. Just not usually on the lips. No, not those lips, either! I’m just not big into kissing, except with a chosen few. I do not wish to kiss merely for the sake of kissing. When I do, though… Neck, curves down my …
#isolation I hear some women talking about the men who left them. Some men talk about the women who left them, too. It feels nice. I would like that to happen to me. For my demons to just move on, disappear. Mine like to stick around, for whatever reason. I don’t know why people complain …
As per usual, I begin the evening awkwardly. Sitting on the couch with my vodka cranberry. By which I mean I began awkwardly. The particular circumstances vary. I will hate it, I will want to run home, I will think nobody here could ever find me desirable. This will last approximately half an hour to …
There’s this scene from Bojack Horseman with the titular Bojack gazing into his publicist, Anna Spanakopita’s, home. She’s making dinner. He watches from outside, from a distance, and thinks, It’s so sad that when you see someone as they really are, it ruins them. But he’s not saying it’s sad when you see someone reveal …
