This reminds me of a sad of mine - it is nigh impossible to get poetry posters. I honestly thought there'd be a greater demand, but the mix of stunning imagery and beautiful wordsmanship I desire has been denied me.

I've bookmarked your poetry prompts thread and have read a lot of it, taking inspiration from it a lot :3 It may be because people are just busy busy these times. I would LOVE to join in however.

There's so many things to do and people to keep track of aaaaaaaaaa

Fuck insomnia.
Seriously just fuck it ugh.

Had this for almost a week now. I know I need to sleep, to the point my vision gets fuzzy but when I lay down to sleep it just doesn't work. Can't shut off my brain no matter how hard I try and end up getting back up and going to the computer to half-see whatever will give me a few minutes respite.

Oh, dude... If that's something you're dealing with right now, I'm sorry. And if that's coming from friends or relatives or other folks who are close to you, that's even harder.

No one gets to tell you the terms on which you should live your life, and they have no idea what difficulties you may have to contend with, what is important to you in life, etc. They probably want good things for you, at least in the abstract sense, but if so what a shitty way to go about "helping" you.

As long as you're making progress toward the life you want, however big or small each step might seem, that's what's important. Everyone else can take their self-righteousness and shove it somewhere unpleasant- you've got a life to live.

I keep wondering why you're hugging goats....


OW: My SO is in the same boat. Only it's herself that's beating her up emotionally.

More problems could be fixed with goats

I have no idea how I got over insomnia, but I think it involved pills. Have you tried sleeping pills?

I need a summer job.

Aldi doesn't DO summer jobs.

I explain this.

'Apply anyway!'

Well sure thing, I'll apply for a place that won't take me because I need a summer job, can't do anything longer than a summer job, and they don't do summer jobs.

EDIT: Finally won that one with the argument that if I say I CAN work more than 12 months then go to the interview and say 'BTW, I'll be leaving come September' it'll hardly give a great impression.

Can't you apply somewhere else to get them off your back? Whoever they are.

You don't have to tolerate that from anyone. If you're trying, don't let some arrogant jerk get you down.

A solution that seems to have worked for me is to systematically exhaust oneself with physically and mentally difficult tasks over multiple weeks until sleep as soon as it is available becomes unavoidable, then, after the stresstimes end, simply allow the pattern to continue.

RedKing:Apply hugs.  Best cure.

KoSS:Then...Start looking?  I mean, seriously, you probably should.  I certainly wish you luck in that.
