The best decision I've made all week:

spending an entire hour filling up two and a half jounal pages, front and back, with every thought that's been bothering me lately. After draining all of the battery power left in my iPod and a good amount of ink, everything got straightened out a little. I mean, none of it is perfect yet, but at least I've figured out that I'm not falling apart and losing parts. If anything, I've just been hiding.
