i'm sick...

...of reading research articles.

but here's something i thought i'd share:
in research concerning the effects of child maltreatment, it has been found that more negative outcomes are associated with neglect alone, in comparison to a combination of neglect and abuse or abuse alone. in other words, kids prefer being "acknowledged" by their parents or caregivers, even if it means abuse, rather than simply being left alone but not abused.

such is the need we have for human contact.
scary, huh?

passing emo phase? maybe you need to do more online shopping! feel better soon... think happy thoughts... like... hitting me on the head at football games!

Both the head-hitting and online shopping don't give me much happiness anymore.
You were right, they wouldn't fill the holes in my soul.
