The Daily – Big Fat Failure
Sometimes I feel like a big fat failure. It's like I take one step forward and two steps back in some areas of my life.

I was contacted by someone from my past who sexually abused me several times. The contact was shocking. I had not spoken to this person in many years. Then, out of the blue, they send me around 25 emails. All of them saying almost the same thing. As if we were "close" in another life from long ago ... yet with a dark under current I … [Read more...]
