You Met Me at a Very Strange Time in My Life

Just by happenstance, I stumbled upon this site 10 minutes ago. I saw a quote elsewhere, searched it, and google took me to a post from December of last year. And I sort of had to join.

I don’t know how much I’ll post, I don’t know how much I’ll even come back to this site. But here, right now, this feels like something I need.

I’m in a new city. I have an internship, but it’s unpaid. I don’t know anyone. And my best friend, my single confidant, the only person who I can share these feelings with, moved across the country and is indisposed for weeks at a time. Which leaves me feeling very alone. Which is not something I need. Not right now.

I hope this place becomes a therapeutic environment for me. I hope that when nights like last Thursday roll around I wind up here instead of a bottle of absinthe deep, bleeding and sobbing, with my belt around my neck.

Thank you, simply for existing. For being here. And proving that strength is possible.
