[CN: suicide, overdose] Gratitude stops me from ending my life, but it doesn’t stop me from wanting to end my life. Even the fierce love I have for my family doesn’t mean I don’t feel utterly hopeless sometimes.

I don’t think of myself as fat. Not inside, anyway.

I guess the point of a spiritual awakening is just that; if you were already awake, you wouldn’t need a moment that was self-defining. You’d already be defined.

Actually, no, I'm not a gluttonous moron.

My decision to bed-share with my children despite potential SIDS risks has less to do with studies, and more to do with instinct.

If you decide pit or leg hair isn't a big deal, then bam! It's not a big deal.

It's not always easy to find a new partner when you have kids in tow. But not only is it possible, it's worth it.

They will 

All boobs are good boobs. And all areola too!

Good news: they'll probably grow out of it. Bad news: probably not until they are 23.
