Sleep and Depression

Sleep and depression? Too much sleep? Too little? Ahhh, this has "Sonya" written all over it...

"Justin's View" is a compilation of Bible snippets and refuting theories, translations, and ideas. Fascinating!

Thigh Gap

http://commonhealth.wbur.org/2013/10/thigh-gap-reflections-on-teenage-girls-latest-obsession?utm_content=socialflow&utm_campaign=nprfacebook&utm_source=npr&utm_medium=facebook

Maybe I should look into getting a Twitter instead, since I post a lot of links. I really like how facebook does it with the little picture and description... Plus I don't think Twitter is for me, I sometimes want to write a lot. Like now, but I can't, I need sleep.

This article is interesting, though it isn't new. It's about the "thigh gap" trend. It seems like only yesterday it was last year's superbowl and Beyonce was onstage. I remember she came under fire because she DID NOT have a thigh gap, though that was encouraging for women and young girls who did not have one, Beyonce is gorgeous and she could be a healthy role model.

Following this. Creepy and unfortunate, but fascinating to follow.

Grooms Seeing Their Brides for the First Time

http://www.buzzfeed.com/mattbellassai/24-grooms-seeing-their-brides-for-the-first-time-6z51

These pictures made me start daydreaming HARD. Not because I desperately want to be a bride, not because I just want to look like a princess, not because I want a wedding and not a marriage, but because the look of love, excitement, and surprise on all these men's faces is priceless. Men don't get to show emotion freely enough in our society, this is priceless.

Typical buzzfeed article. But what about those GLOWING BEACHES???

OCD (Rustbelt 2013)

There is a beauty sometimes not seen in sadness... this brings it out into the open. Heartbreak can sometimes be beautiful, though it hurts as nothing else can. 
A truly kick-ass, heart-wrenching poem.
