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.

I am proud of myself for finally buying that wireless keyboard so I can sit on the couch and type, which will save my back and neck. The next step is to hook my computer up to my 50-inch TV.

I am proud of writing eleven pages of my first draft. They’re actually decent this time, I think.

Because I resisted the urge to say all I wanted to say in anger. Actually I still am resisting it. Hence the visit to bus, need distraction.
I'm also proud of myself for lookin for distraction rather than cutting or giving into anger.
