This prescription is from a year ago, and I remember it never helping so I haven’t taken it in as long. I gave it another chance today so I could stop feeling pain for every shade of light in my field of vision. It worked really well and pretty fast. The bottle says it’s expired.

If you had any demands to make to the University’s administration, I’m sure you would have made them known by now. That means your reasons for doing this are personal, and maybe even unclear to you. Whatever you’re feeling, whatever place you’re trying to leave or get to, I want you to know that…

I’m not a racist. I know there are a lot of people that think just by being white and enjoying “white privilege” you become a racist whether you intend to or not. I don’t believe that because I’ve seen how racism is born and how it creeps around and eventually sinks in and becomes just the way…

(And that buying shoes to get double rewards points toward a $10 gift certificate for buying more shoes is stupid and perpetuates a vicious cycle of consumerism and material excess, leading to spiritual unfulfillment.)
I am telling myself these...
