Bio
I like writing, movies like Inception, Cloud Atlas, fascinating stories, nature. Forests, Art, coloring, energy, concepts, consciousness, communication, Guild Wars (ORIGINAL), I think hemp can fundamentally change our world and a plant should never be illegal. People should be able to live, and have food without stress.

...See more I'm having a hard time and have identified this as an issue.. I guess it doesn't count though under eating disorders because eating disorders are categorized by having a relationship to the way you see yourself. For me, it's like my brain just freezes up. It feels so hard. Because I have to clean, because I have to prepare stuff and do multiple layers to make a full meal. Because I'm DEFINITELY not eating enough but probably am malnourished at this point.. At least I feel like I am. My son put a can opener in the oven before he left with his dad on Friday.. I didn't discover it until Saturday, when I preheated the oven to 400 to make a pizza. It's still in the freezer and now there is dripping plastic attached to both oven racks. I got most of it scraped off the bottom but the smell was horrific. Now I'm afraid of getting in trouble for the fact that the heat sensor is screwed up and telling me the oven is warm. I'm also vaguely worried about heating up the stove in case that smell permeates again.. but at some point I'll have to reheat the oven at least to try to get the last of the plastic that may be on the bottom out, and I still have to clean off those racks and... ugh. I just want to make food. I love pasta. I love making it with onion and mushroom. I don't know what to do ;_;

...See more Weird question I know, sorry, but hear me out. I'm having issues with trust and vulnerability. Issues fighting this strong feeling that it's pointless, useless to reach out, I wouldn't know what to talk to anyway... How do you push yourself? Sometimes it kind of happens naturally and sometimes I have to prod myself along.. I'm sorry if this is somehow in the wrong section
