D I F F E R E N T Dear Journal, Got on the scale a few mins ago, entered my weight in my @myfitnesspal app & shuddered at the steady increase from my first entry on Jan. 13, 2013 till now. I then thought about every maladaptive coping mechanism I had but my weight [...]
Been trying to catch my breath. Every time I attempted to put pen to paper about the horrific events unfolding in the world, another hideous event would happen.
