We are the girls with anxiety disorders, filled appointment books, five-year plans. We take ourselves very, very seriously. We are the peacemakers, the do-gooders, the givers, the savers. We are on time, overly prepared, well read, and witty, intellectually curious, always moving… We drink coffee, a lot of it. We are on birth control, Prozac, and multivitamins… We are relentless, judgmental with ourselves, and forgiving to others. We are the daughters of the feminists who said, “You can be anything,” and we heard, “You have to be everything." - Courtney Martin.

24hrs without.

A few days ago that would've seemed insignificant but it's been such a weird couple days that just making it another night without slipping seems great

Yesterday is history,
Tomorrow is a mystery,
Today is a gift,
That's why we call it the present.

I told someone how I felt and what about what he said yesterday pissed me off, eventhough I knew it would hurt his feelings a little bit.

Also I didn't get angry at my therapist at our last meeting.
