Bad habits
Ex-husband
Can you imagine what it would be like to hear at the age of twenty-nine that I might not live to be thirty anymore? I was silent, the doctor was saying something, talking, and I was looking at a crooked, tasteless picture hanging on the wall, and was silent. The worst part is that I didn't know if I wanted to live to be thirty. Maybe it's for the best?

Affliction
There will always be a longing for that thing you have depended on for so long. You feel the pain when you are forced to accept that you can no longer savor its taste. You begin to understand that this thing has so much of a hold over you its unbearable. The longing to have it seems so bittersweet and yet you know it is so wrong, yet you feel it entirely. The constant yearning will always be present, and it will never fully dissipate but you will learn to fight against it. The sudden urge can appear at any moment even if it has been years since you had your last fill.

Journey Down the Rabbit Hole
I have the urge to write almost every day. I don’t exactly want to keep a diary, and I don’t think every observation I make is brilliant (or even most of them). So, I was at a quandary. What should my topic be? I love food and do write about that, but I am not a food journalist just an enthusiast. I kept pondering and it clicked. I realized that my life is driven by a series of mini obsessions. I am never happier than when I am zooming down a rabbit hole searching for something. On these days, Google is my best friend. So, I thought I would start a series of articles on what I am obsessed about for the moment. Let’s see how far it takes us.

Do you know that your actions have consequences?
Will I always be a liar? Why am I so fake? Do I manipulate the situations I find myself in? Can i answer a simple and straight forward question truthfully without the thought of a lying instead crossing my mind?

Part 2:
I was 20 years old, reeling from the trauma of the weeks before. I lost my grip on 'reasonable' usage of the meth, I know that at first it was because I wanted to forget. I have a hard time recalling the exact moment I went of the deep end into a pit of darkness, I do however remember we have to go backwards to move forwards.

What good habits have you developed because you are poor?
In my first job after graduation, I had a canteen. On my first day on the job, I went downstairs to have dinner with my colleagues and listened to them introduce me which window had delicious covered rice and which window had ramen noodles.

Finding my out of the dark...
My life wasn't always such a mess. I grew up in a nice neighborhood, nice town on the upper class side of things. My parents loved me and did their best. It all went wrong when I was 17 and met my first husband. He was older then me, 28 to my 17. He was handsome and had a way of saying just the right thing, all the girls working at the local pizza place had crushes on him... in hindsight I wish I had let one of the others have him. I don't actually mean that though, without him my oldest, my princess would not ever have been born.
