they should invent an emotion besides shame

my daughter, eight years old, stealing my car

[[ happy threshold day everyone

"Don't drink n your 20s" When tf else are you gonna drink? Your 40s? 50s? Your body is built to process alcohol from 16-32 Prime drinking years Absolutely do not squander it with abstinence

[[ THE LEFT HAND MOTIF.......

PUT ON BODY FAT. I HAVE SPENT MY LAST TWENTY YEARS TRYING. TO HAVE STRENGTH AND PUDGE IS A VIRTUE.

YOU HAD BETTER, MISTER.

SAGES, I LOVE STRONG, FAT MEN WHO ARE SHORTER THAN ME.

LET ME BE SINGLE AND MISERABLE AND *DRUNK,* KAMORI KIRIKO.

[[ men will hate writing replies on their phones then retire their laptops and never use their desktops

I would be thrilled to, what, go out...? with you, but I will not stop being miserable. Nor will I stop being drunk. Or single.

I want to be miserable. This is a miserable position to be in. If I can be miserable now, my daughter won't have to watch me cry over reheated tuna noodle from the neighbor. I *am* miserable.

I want to grieve. I want the opportunity to be allowed to be miserable. He *left.* I'm still dying! Let me wallow in it.

my little baby boy is getting so old!!

[ He turned up a glass, pungent with vodka. ] And– don't judge me too harshly if I bring home a few less than savory men.

[ Self destruction - a classic trait of his. ] I can do my best not to be murdered, but I don't know how much more than that that I can promise. I'll-- I'll get over it. Eventually.

[ He didn't have a good chance. He'd likely pick up a fracture somewhere with bones as fragile as his, and his taste for self-preservation was nothing if not intentional. ] I will be responsible with my recklessness.

I have been alone, as in not seen a single other person, longer than that.
