I grew up without my dad and he recently found me. We get along well, but I rarely see him. We mostly talk by email, but he always talks about wanting sex or needing sex or getting sex.

Hey all,

But part of me is still curious about how when I was a small child (until the age of about six or seven), I had extreme, four to five hour long tantrums where ...

Even at night. Sometimes I am afraid I will one day look to old to be doing this if I don't already, but it calms me with the rocking motion.. I tend to ...

We had to write college essays in English and we were supposed to talk about what makes us different from other people and why a college should choose me over anyone else. I ended up taking a 0/100 because I tried and tried and tried but couldn't come up with anything. The only words I can think of that describe me are; quiet, anxious, rational, on edge, unbiased.

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but I figure you guys will tell me if not. Since being laid off 3 years ago, I have been staying home more and more. I am not afraid to go out, I just don't feel like it. Once I get out I enjoy myself. What is this and what can I do about?

So I was typing about all the parts of me to get to know them a bit more and have words that I can see/read to help me understand them and know more about them and I thought I'd post what I'd written as a kind of open door for people to know/understand me as a whole more.
