Re: OT Positive post - Animals!
I LOVE animals. I have always had pets and a huge soft spot for animals. I remember bringing home injured animals I would find as a kid and try to nurse them back to health (rabbits, birds, cats, etc). And I think my pets are great for my anxiety. My dog is cuddled up with me right now. You can show me and pic of an animal and I'll think it's cute. I once had a little opossum as a "pet" haha
Here is Gus. He likes to do something bad when I leave (like get in the trash) and then look cute

And Sydney being a cat

And that's also me and her in my avatar.
“Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”
“We are the girls with anxiety disorders, filled appointment books, five-year plans. We take ourselves very, very seriously. We are the peacemakers, the do-gooders, the givers, the savers. We are on time, overly prepared, well read, and witty, intellectually curious, always moving. We pride ourselves on getting as little sleep as possible and thrive on self-deprivation. We drink coffee, a lot of it. We are on birth control, Prozac, and multivitamins. We are relentless, judgmental with ourselves, and forgiving to others. We never want to be as passive-aggressive as our mothers, never want to marry men as uninspired as our fathers. We are the daughters of the feminists who said, “You can be anything,” and we heard, “You have to be everything.”
