Steph, I think self care comes first, your friends will understand

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Class sounds like the better way.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Solid choice, Steph.
I have hit the "why bother" numbish level of depression. It's been a long time since I was here and I don't like it. I just don't have any hope that things are going to get better for me on a personal level WRT career and love life, and the overarching shitshow that is our country just puts the cherry on top. I'm just going through the motions, and it's good that I'm doing that, but I'm so. tired. Therapy Friday, so yay for that.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Awwww, smonster. There are very few people I've met on this planet as charismatic, warm, charming, attractive, smart and ethical as you are.
You really are a catch. I know that the world and events and work has conspired to make you disbelieve the truth of that, but that is my honest assessment.
I'm sorry you're going through such a hard stretch. But if I could wish you anything, I'd wish you enough of a change of circumstance so that you could see your true reflection in the mirror.

Our wings are not tired.

Oh smonster, I surely do know this one too. The only thing I have any success with is attempting to focus as much as possible on the few things I do have control over. Focus on my positive relationships and drop cold the bad ones, focus on the positive business relationships and let go the bad ones.
Also, what David says, so much.

It looks like I might be meeting the online dating guy, not a bookstore date but lunch and chat because he's going to meet me in Hendersonville. We've had to cancel plans a few times so I really hope this works out.

smonster, you're so awesome, and it kills me that you have to go through so much all the goddamn time. Love you. Let me know if you need anything. ANYTHING.

Ugh. I hate that, smonster. All I can say is remember depression lies. But I've been there too :(

Smonster depression does lie. I admire you and your are awesome.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Hugs, hairpats, and general ~ma for everyone here, in whatever form all y'all need.
