Here is this week’s list of confessions, poems, comic strips, and other tidbits from my favourite corners of the web.
Only In My Dreams via nazmaniatweet. Confession: I had never heard of Debbie Gibson before I read this post. It was a spellbinding story, though.
If You Give a Man a Fish. Someone should start a site that takes other sayings to their logical conclusion. This was too funny.
Why We Should Celebrate Shyness. I loved this.
The Neuroscience of Mindfulness via bakadesuyo. What an interesting way of thinking about unhelpful thoughts.
On The Anniversary Of Emmett Till’s Death: Why The 1950s And ’60s Were Not ‘A Simpler Time’. Exactly. This is one of several reasons why I side-eye people who want to return to the good old days.Those days were anything but good for huge portions of the population. I don’t think nostalgic people realize exactly how much society has changed for the better since then.
From How to Feel Better When You’re Down (Without Forcing Yourself to Be Positive):

When that feeling knocks the door and you don’t want it anymore, close it tight, win the fight. You got this.
