Dear Of Monsters and Men,

Thank you so so so very much for helping me through many hours of crushing late-afternoon sadness, hopelessness and despair. Like, seriously. 

Love,
Laura

If you are ever considering raping someone

please consider

that this is what you will create. This 22-year-old “successful” (graduated college with an A- average, in a healthy relationship with a wonderful guy, generally well-liked, fancy-internship-having, well-read, etc.) person has spent her entire morning weeping on and off & is sitting here clutching her stuffed animal and stuffing her feelings down with food.

And God knows how long this shit will haunt me.

Don’t. Don’t don’t don’t don’t don’t hurt any more children.

epic ptsd attack. anxious, near-tears, battling memories…oh please stop.

currently trying: hiding in bed (under blanket, with cool water and both my real puppy and stuffed puppy) and reading The Steadfast Tin Soldier. If this doesn’t work…writing? Calling David? Crying? I feel awful

I’m really lonely. I think I need to go outside but I’m overwhelmed. And I’m terrified that if I have a crappy first day home, or a crappy first week, I’m going to ruin my whole year.

Help Me Choose An Audiobook!

Hey Tumblr! I am trying an Audible account for free! So I get 2 credits which means I can download 2 books. Right now I want to download one for a few long bus rides since I can’t read in cars/buses and want to be entertained/doing something mildly productive. I have come up with these options :

The Gnostic Gospels by Elaine Pagels

Three Junes by Julia Glass

Mighty Be Our Powers: How Sisterhood, Prayer, and Sex Changed A Nation At War by Leymah Gbowee

Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea by Barbara Demick

What would you listen to?
