“I’m so lonely,” she said. “I do everything alone. I come home, the house is dark—none of the lights are on. I open the front door and there’s no one there to greet me. I eat alone, I watch the same movies over and over, and then I go to bed.”
“I hate being in one room,” she continued. “The silence is unbearable. The walls suffocate...

mom—soul of father

tupac—friend smoked his ashes
cartman—ate kenny’s ashes
that movie where the man promised...

As the two-year mark of my father’s death approaches, I have Joan Didion’s new memoir to look forward to. The Year of Magical Thinking helped me so much, although her sorrow was so spare and sharp, while mine raged and drifted like a current. Via New York Magazine:
The ways in which neither we nor they can bear to contemplate the death or the illness or even the aging of the other....

I often feel unmoored. And helpless. The terror of leaving the house vs. the terror of being alone. But I’m alone all the time, anyway, even when I’m among people.

spoiler alert
The scene where the father in “The Road” dies moved me to tears, even though I knew it was coming, having read the book by Cormac McCarthy. It really wasn’t a good movie (or book), but the finality of the son pulling the sheet over his father’s face…my boyfriend didn’t see that I was crying.
Last night’s episode of HIMYM came as a shock and I didn’t...

My mom gives me a hard time and I gripe about it a lot, but I really do love her. I’ve grown to have a begrudging respect for her and her ways. That’s not to say my childhood wasn’t still traumatic and it shouldn’t have been that way, but here I am.
Over Thanksgiving, she asked me if she had the right to be happy, to go on living her life after my dad died, and I said,...

This is so applicable, it’s scary (via Slate, http://www.slate.com/id/2275908/):
Dear Prudence, My problem is my 22-year-old brother, who’s been coddled into uselessness by our mother. First some background on me: I have a slight limp due to the after-effects of a childhood illness. My mother was very protective of me, keeping me out of gym classes and certain field trips because she...

With & Without You
dearoldlove:
With you I became someone we both couldn’t stand: desperate, pathetic, needy. I barely even recognized myself. Thank you for helping me realize that the best version of me is the one without you.

October is such a mixed month for me. I hate that the weather is getting colder and that leaves are changing color and that living things are dying. And I hate that the holidays are just around the corner. I love Halloween, but I hate holidays in general. Plus, my father died almost a year ago. It will be one year on October 28. One year. I guess I have been thinking about that more often...
