Bad habits
10 of the Strangest Things People Are Addicted To
10 of the Strangest Things People Are Addicted To Addiction is the obsessive need to carry on doing something despite the potential consequences. Every person is different, with their own preferences and dreams. Some people enjoy travelling, while others prefer to stay at home. We learn to get along through our likes and dislikes, regardless of whether we are introverts, extroverts, or somewhere in between. People have been known to become addicted to substances like narcotics, coffee, or even social media. However, you may tell someone about your daily need on coffee and it won't come out as embarrassing. Just picture meeting someone who claims to be addicted to drinking their own urine. Or another who would rather eat a piece of their brick wall than a pizza topped with pineapples grown on their lanai. Yes, these are the bizarre addictions that people have all across the world. Here is a list of some of the most bizarre substances to which people have become dependent.

Where The Heart Is
They say that pain is apart of life. I have felt the emotional pain of being in the house where my pain originally started. Now the diaries that I found have been filed in the garbage dump that feels good. The last diary I had left I called it my Oppression Diary I put that in the garbage. It felt great. I feel like there is nothing left for me in my country. Because the only person before I married who believed in me died. Now I am ready to leave my country to go back home to Saint Lucia. Home. That feels good to say.

Never Underestimate a Cycle Breaker
I've been committed to breaking the cycle of generational trauma for sometime now. I came from a severely dysfunctional home. My mother was married to a narcisscist who ruined her life. I apparently keep getting into relationships where men ruin my life. My ex was so abusive that it drove me to a drinking problem. I fall in love with potential. I fall in love with the future of what I want them to be. I disregard the red flags. And because of that, I self-destruct.

Yes, I'm Autistic. Yes, I sometimes Hit Mom. No, I'm not Adam Lanza.
Last Wednesday was the 10th anniversary of the Newton massacre, when a young man walked into his elementary school and shot about 20 students and a teacher. I still remember that fateful day- my late mother and I were at IHop, eating lunch right before a doctor's appointment, wondering when the hell the food would get there. Then suddenly, our waittress burst out that something terrible had happened.

Economics of Feeling
It's a feeling most of us unfortunate inhabitants of the 21st century have experienced: you're happily doomscrolling on your social media site of choice and having a grand (if compulsory) time. When suddenly your illusory peace is shattered by the image of your ex with someone else.

I left my husband when the pandemic hit
It was April of 2020 when I finally decided to leave my husband for good. I had no idea where I was going, but I was leaving it all behind for something new. Needless to say this was a difficult decision considering I had severe anxiety at the time.

The Thrill of the Steel
Let's assume we've already prepped our taste (another tale for another time) and it's in the delivery mechanism of our choosing all ready to go. Anywhere between thirty and seventy lines is a good amount using the gauge off the side of a one ml tuermo syringe. Your pulse quickens, excitement, anticipation, being really naughty and as you get closer to the face of this particular demon, a lot of things can go wrong but the most clear and present danger is the possible threat to your very mortality.
