My Abusive Ex is the Reason I'm Fat
I know it may sound like I’m shifting the blame, but my ex is the reason I’m fat. I didn’t gain weight because he was a great cook, or because our relationship centered on going to fancy restaurants or eating fast food. The reason I’m fat is because my ex used food to abuse me.

THINGS FOUND AT ROCK STAR DEATH SCENES
THINGS FOUND AT ROCK STAR DEATH SCENES Some rock musicians are recognised as much for their flamboyant, premature, or just plain odd demises as for their great lives. Sadly, a rock star's lack of privacy often follows them into the afterlife since, as soon as they pass away, images, inquiries, and hypotheses surrounding their demise appear online. Fans will delve deeply into the stories behind the deaths of their rock idols today more than ever thanks to social media accessibility and humanity's age-old morbid fascination with death.
Paul SmithPublished 2 days ago in ConfessionsWhy I'll never win a challenge
Alright, I'll admit I may have exaggerated a little in the title, just to get your attention. Did it work? In truth, always and never are far too big words for so little a confession I have to make. You see, I have a vice. Call it a downside, an indulgence, or a weakness if you prefer.

That One Time In French Class
In high school, you would think meeting your soulmate would be by being exposed to a crowd, such as parties, group hangouts or house parties. I met mine in French class—a guy who has been in my class for two years. We might have exchanged hellos and fist bumps. It was a typical pandemic day where some students were exposed to the virus and had to take a two-week leave and stayed home for everyone's safety. That happened to my best friend, a girl sitting beside me. This guy then sat in the seat next to me. Surprisingly, his intent was to ask me if he could use me to cheat in class, what a classic lazy bum.

Some More Thoughts On My Writing Difficulties
Introduction Although I publish a lot on Vocal I do have difficulties in writing, and this generates a lot of anxiety in me. I am lucky enough to be able to pull ideas and subjects almost out of the ether, to actually create a Vocal story, while I never seem to hit a writer's block I do seem to continually have the anxiety that goes with that.

Once upon a time sometime near Christmas last year I wound up broke when Christmas showed up I barely had anymore money for gifts, and plus we were all scattered. My sister and her fiancé my brother and his fiancé and the new little baby Epi. We had all showed up at the same time. Raina Pringle was getting gifts! It was the best most unheard of Christmas s ever! I felt like I wanted to be the star let alone we all wanted what we wanted and got more than that! Clothe s Pringles and candies and chocolates and gifts, gifts , gifts! What a time of year when everything could go wrong and unrealisingly did, but … turned out for the good! We were sensible, workable enough, we I felt had just jumped into a new phase of life unknowingly??? I really felt bad because don’t you feel like you failed if you don’t get any gifts ???I know I was hoping I would be The Seattle Seahawks cheerleader plus getti g my craft together and dance moves and weight. I felt like if you consume to much of one thing it is not good for you. I was getting kinda worried when I know I’d run out of money knowingly but chose anyway to find a way of adding up. I felt complete cheap but short AND shy when all my money and time were invested but I had saved up or paused the hold that was steady. All about myself many times invested boy, was I glad to see family because we had went about a 2-4 years without seeing each other. I confess I d tried everything fun out travel wise college bound wise. I felt like I was the girl that wanted to be in everything and by the time company came I secretly hid my craft. Why? I know it does not sound sensible but I hovered into the inner groups and made my way being and becoming well known. If I’m going to make the best of something keep it a secret until the right time. After all my friends had left, 9/11 security crack down war in Afghanistan, Covid-19 outbreak. It just felt like the world was falling apart. We also at home were far apart for awhile. Having not been. We’d always have close relationships with family and relatives! They were always there for us and never had we missed a gathering but this time immediate family members were fond of seeing a little bit closer. Sometimes it’s the gas in the gift. I loved opening gifts last year. Also gifts can be found in all different shapes or forms. I slid in a drawing tablet that I bought for myself on Black Friday!! I feel like I can’t match what my sister can do. I feel bombarded from how much I can spend because I havent saved yet saved enough to be a thoroughbred on my own. I gave my parent gift card and everyone money in envelopes. I also felt like I’d accumulated so much time secretly with my boyfriends and lord knows I have so many! My sister had made time so I thought I could to… over the time frame passed I remembered and also did alot of self thinking. We got to praise GOD at Sunday service on Christmas Eve and open a gift on Christmas Eve and one on Christmas morning. I loved tearing my gifts up! I couldn’t get enough gifts! I still have half of them instilled in my room. If I could expound on how much wrong things happened I would breakdown the day! But that would make the truth be unreal. We have never had to do with out! Can find a reading. To complain and no extra bills I have to pay like my sis if I only remain single.

It was my second Christmas away from home. I had moved away a year prior, which was only supposed to be six months. But life happened and I had met someone. Let's refer to him as Mikey*. Funny how things happen. The job I moved for, were very happy with how things panned out. Then.

Uncle Dale Can’t Drink
Uncle Dale wasn’t supposed to drink. Even at seven, I knew that. No one had said it to me directly, but the adults had said it to one another— on the phone, in the car, around the dinner table after the kids had been excused and weren't supposed to be listening.

H.P. Lovecraft turned me off from reading once. I wish I could say it was because of his well-documented racism, but I was a little girl when I read Lovecraft for the first and only time and hadn’t known he existed before much less known his attitudes toward black folks. The fact that he nearly destroyed my love of reading makes sense in the end.

Dear Anonymous: it's okay if you don't have an identity.
'Anonymous' basically means a name is missing or omitted. Evoking ourselves as such feasibly grants us to be absolved of identification.
