I’ve been in love with the person I met the first day on the job so many years ago. I always make sure he’s well taken cared of above and beyond. On the rare occasion he has touched me (4 times so far) I melt into pure ecstasy. I’ve turned down two very promising positions elsewhere because I can’t imagine a life with even a little bit of him not in it.
I just walked out of a vintage shop and it has been a great ending to a crappy day. Work was horrible and at times I just want to cry and give up. Lately I’ve been filled with a lot of despair but when I saw this I felt happy. I’m not sure exactly why. I’ve been fighting with my feelings a lot lately. I’m bi and I can’t seem to accept that. I hope that everything will turn out.
Wish me luck.
I worked at a detention home in NY, trying to make the world a better place. In less than 2 years i knew i would never make a difference. I packed up, left NY and went to school in FL to work with zoo animals. Since i graduated, i got engaged, broke a heart, obtained more debt then I’d like to think about, met my best friend and introduced more people to animals and their hardship in the wild, then can be counted.
I finally feel like I may be making a difference.
Now my best friend moved away, and I’m not sure i want to do this any more.
I’m a 62 year old LBKA (Left Below the Knee Amputee). I was married for 23 years (raised three sons, the pride and joy of my life), divorced for seven years (my wife got tired of being a spouse and mother) and then met a beautiful nurse who has been married to me for the last four years. I’m a software designer down to 16 hours per week (four half days–curse this economy!) The amputation is due to an accident. When I was 20 and in the U.S. Air force, I was riding a motorcycle and got hit by a car. I kept the leg 27 years but it grew progressively more useless. In 2994, I got the amputation. It was the first time my children ever saw me walk without a limp. Life is filled with challenges, but very beautiful as well. Born Catholic, many year Methodist. Now an Atheist Unitarian Universalist. Love one another and practice peace.
I am a 23 year old female from Washington state. I live a lie every day of my life. I am with a girl that I’m pretty sure I do not love at all what so ever. I’m not sure why I’m here. I don’t even think I like women… I don’t know. I don’t know what to do with myself. I live in her house. I just need to get away but I don’t know how. I feel trapped.
I’m writing this with the pen I use every day at my dead-end waitress job. It’s my favorite—probably because hitting the touchscreen computer with it is a great way to unleash frustration. As difficult as the day can get, though, with orders being shouted and snotty college kids stiffing me on tips—I wouldn’t change a thing. I’m glad I didn’t give in to academic pressures. I’m glad I got out of my situation and am supporting myself instead of letting the system do it for me. I LOVE MY DEAD END JOB! I’ve never been happier.
