i feel like anything i want out of life hinges on doing what someone else wants me to do.

Yeah! You tell them.

What is the reason people drive in very loud cars?

I think they like attention.

Don't treat others as you would like to be treated.

One thing I've realized is that sometimes people genuinely don't want to be treated as I do, so it pays to learn about them and how they really want to be treated and do that instead. I have learned a lot about myself and others by paying attention to this. I have also learned that sometimes people act like they don't want to be treated well at all and all signals point to "treat me worse" (they treat everyone including themselves like crap) and they need love and understanding. Mostly I don't care to deal with that, but it doesn't take much effort to be kind in minimal encounters with those people anyway.

There’s nothing like a wedding to tear a family apart.

I had a very small wedding (exactly what I wanted), no cousins or anything. I'm glad they were all classy about it, wishing me well and moving on. You could send a nice card and move on too. I think it's a lot more rude to make a big deal about someone getting invited or not when it's someone else's most important and special day.

Marriage is like drowning: kind of nice, once you stop struggling.

Would you be sad if I told you that a lot of married people are so freaking happy? I am madly in love with my husband.

Maybe I asked this before.

That was me. I had a weird hang up about learning to drive, failed the test at least twice. I told people it was because I had a near accident (I did) and shouldn’t we all be more afraid of driving giant death machines around when one out of any three people in the USA are likely to get injured or killed in a motor vehicle accident?! But really I think it was the pressure. My parents really wanted me to learn and at the same time couldn’t be in the car with me without flipping out and stressing me out so much I would make a mistake. I eventually asked my sister if she could teach me and she did and I passed and have been driving for years, no accidents. Anyway, just being there and occasionally encouraging her to get in the drivers seat in a positive enthusiastic way (never a stressed and angry way) may eventually pay off.

i'm on a terrible downswing tonight.

You will never be worthless, maybe you did something that makes you feel as you don’t deserve to exist and your life isn’t precious, but you really are, no matter what went wrong or how you feel now. One thing that takes a while to figure out and is hard to do is to learn that the more love you invest in yourself, the more respect for your own life you’ll build. It will be much easier to make life loving choices if you can just make one. You could start by thinking “I love myself”. The hard part is the first step when you can’t find any love for yourself and can’t see the point in trying because you’ve been trying to destroy your self worth all over the place, but you can do it.
