comfort food

I'd forgotten what it was like to take so much verbal abuse in one day. Why do I let kids get to me? But as I asked myself that question, I simultaneously imagined what it would be like if they didn't. If meanness didn't hurt, didn't even affect me.

And that was an even more disheartening thought. That's not what I want either.

This blog documents one organism's interactions with her environment.
