Anderson Cooper & Why Gay People Declare Their Sexuality
ByRileyI was reading an article about Anderson Cooper coming out (which he did with great dignity, might I add) on CNN. And no matter how frequently I tell myself to stop at the last sentence of the article, my eyes once again meandered into the dangerous territory of the comment section. By and large, they…
Insult Gone Awry
ByRileyCalling someone “gainfully unemployed” (no, that’s not a typo), even when meant as an insult, is actually a compliment.
Endangered Koalas
ByRileySome scientists want koalas declared endangered, because apparently they are. This article says so –> this one right here <– and since it’s a Time article I’m going to assume that some fact-checking happened prior to publication, even if in the process of said fact-checking no one noticed the repeated use of “koala bear.” As…

ByRileyThe women in my family have really been through it. I have seen them thrive and suffer, survive and succumb. I have seen them sacrifice. The older I’ve become, the more I have learned about the tough choices the women in my family have made. I come from a long line of incredibly strong women. This…

I think you have a choice Riley, but choosing not to write may be more destructive than choosing to write… If writing can make you frustrated and feeling like a failure sometimes then just imagine what it will feel like(not always, but sometimes) when/if you do not engage in writing at all, cause i think the frustration and feeling like a failure will still be there sometimes, it just won’t be expressed, now that seems like a horrible situation…
That being said, there is nothing wrong with a break and exploring other ways to express yourself could be fun?
Lots of love and support from everyone here either way.
While I certainly don’t want you sad and frustrated, I have to say the selfish lizard part of my brain went into panicky denial at the thought of not reading your writings in the future.
Whichever way you decide, I hope it works out well for you.
(((((hug)))))
I wish I had the perfect words to help you out of your mopey-red-stick-figure-self-doubting slump.
I can offer you more hugs via my super-high-speed internet, though. (I upgraded recently so you could get them before I click Submit Comment)
May is right, you got lots of love and support. 🙂
*hugs* aaaaand click
Hoping that you won’t decide to give up entirely, but luck in whatever you decide.

Thanks peeps 🙂
I kept meaning to say something about this. But my gut reaction was always to laugh and think ‘choice? where did she get that idea?’ which I didn’t really think would be helpful at all.
But sometimes a break really does help. I know after I finished my writing course, my brain kind of died, and it took me twelve months to really sit down and write anything afterwards.
I hope you’re feeling better about everythign though, because I have a feeling that twelve months without writing would actually kill you. And none of us want that.
