Bad habits
Letters Never Sent - Vol 7
May 12, 1998 Dear Felicity986, I know we only just met and our first date was only over an hour ago, but I have so much more I wanted to tell you. When you agreed to meet me, I was very surprised. It was my first time on a dating website and I wasn’t sure if those things really worked or not.

Does This Make Me Crazy?
The planet seems so unorganized when I wake up in the morning. Like a hundred puzzle pieces have been dumped on the ground, and I spend all day putting the puzzle together. By the days end I only get the corners and edge pieces done. Some days I start working on the inside, putting together what will be parts of a successful future. But right now, I'm only getting to the edge pieces and corners. I feel a lot of progress making sense of the world as the day goes on, but I don't know what happens when I sleep, but it all falls apart. It falls apart regardless of when I got to bed, early or late.

My Hero!
Dear Alcohol, It has been 17 months since our last romantic rendezvous. It was quite a night that we had together. Just you and I, alone on the open road. Night air flowing through the old blue Dodge's windows. The moonlight provided all the light we needed to find our way while traveling those country roads. Lake Erie waves crashed angrily against the soft sandy shore. Holding hands, I imagined us walking into those waves and drifting away together. The water swaddled us like a blanket while the rocking waves lullabied us into an internal sleep. I always thought together we would go out Bonnie and Clyde style. At the last moment, rather than drive off the cliff with you - I jerked the wheel and took a rapid turn. You floated through the air free; while I sat behind the wheel paralyzed. I am sorry, I abandoned you to save myself. However, I am eternally grateful to you!

The effects of sugar of your body.
2021 was a tough year for me. I wasn't working for most of it the year. Not having a exact schedule to follow really messed with my mind, body, and eating habits. Towards the end of the year, I didn't feel the best. It wasn't that I was eating a lot or gained a bunch of weight or anything. It was just that what I was eating wasn't the healthiest. My eating had gone off the rails. I was eating a lot of processed foods and a lot of sugar. I felt like my body could use a reset. So I decided to do 3 days of no sugar, processed foods or processed carbs. I debated doing no carbs, but I don't think carbs are bad. I just wanted to eat as clean as I could.

Are We Using the Toxic Person Label A Little Too Much?
I was scrolling through Instagram reels on self-care from “spiritual” influencers. Okay, even fashion influencers talk about toxic people and self-care practices involving a laundry list of products these days.

2 AM
2 am. Dripping sweat I kick my sheets onto the ground and roll over, frantically grabbing a glass of water off the side table. I quickly drink it without taking a breath in between, but my thirst does not feel quenched in the slightest. My mind is pounding as if someone is clanging cymbals on both sides of my head. Tears stream down my face as this is now nearing 3 weeks without a night of sleep. I feel delusional, like my mind is slipping away. The anxiety in me says to calm down so I can rest, but then the spinning thoughts work against everything I am trying to achieve.
