I want you.

I want you to crawl in-side of me and openme up.

Crawl deep inside of myiron fortress,

and soften the edges of these stone cold walls.

Bring with you a sheild;

one strong enough towithstand my mostfear-driven weakness-es.

Bring with you a ame;

one hot enough that itwill heat me in my en-tirety, and make me for-get the darkness that

lled me before.

Bring with you a sword;

one sharp enough to cut throughthe tangled vines that imprisonmy purity of heart.

Bring with you a horse; one fastand wild enough to carry meaway.

Do not trample on my inhibitions.

Be patient with my hands,

which long to touch,

but have been bound for a timetoo long.

Get under my skin andrip away from me thelayers of me that havealways belonged to you.

Own me, but free me.

Chain me, but releaseme.

Feel me.Want me.

Breathe in the air that Iexhale,

and then give me fresh-ened breaths.

Place me on yourthrone,

if only for a minute.

Taste me.Consume me,

and leave me only what I need.

Anxiety evokes many feelings; excessiveor ongoing tension and worry, restless-ness, irritability, irrational and unrealisticviews on problems, di culty concen-trating, trembling, trouble falling orstaying asleep, nausea, and sweating. Inother words, it sucks the life out of you,and leaves you a trembling shell. Whenanxious, you are no longer you: you area mess. A nervous, sickly, scared-shitless,shaky little being who feels absolutelyhelpless, worthless, and unable to dealwith anything. No cause, unless of courseyou want to blame genetics (isnt it niceto just blame everything on genetics),environment, or, of course, brain chem-istry. But just pop some pills, youll feel

better...though it may take a long timeto even nd the correct medication, andthen, the correct dosage. These pills, incase youre wondering, are supposedto help, and may very well do that...to adegree. But theres no cure, and no long-term relief. Symptoms can and will recur.And there are side e ects to this medica-tion, some of which include sleepiness,weight gain, and a dependency on thedrug. Not that Im trying to deter youfrom taking them - go ahead if you think itll make you feel better.

But do not expect a total recovery,because that wont happen. It most cer-tainly is not a quick x, or a x at all.

($")*+,-%.*"/01.'

In fact, nothing will ever help you. Youwill never feel better. You will always

lled up with horrible feelings. Youllalways be shaky, and scared, and lonely...starting to feel anxious? Okay. Now.Breathe deep. No, not like that. From thebelly, all the way up to the chest.

Got it yet? Still need a few minutes?

Okay, take your time.

Now, what were you thinking about? Those damn negative thoughts? Kay,now think again about those things thatmake you feel so awful. What are they?

School? Work? Family? Friends? Your ownself, and all its aws?

Now, while you breathe, think againabout them...not as bad as you thought

at rst, right? HA! See? Told you. Breath-ing can do some amazing shit. So, theresa coping strategy. Something other thanmeds that can make your anxiety shutdown. And that, by the way, is a quick x

You need to look at things from a real-istic point of view, and realize that, atthat particular time of feeling anxious,you arent rational. Youre blowing it outof proportion. Breathe deep, think itthrough, and feel better? Okay? Promise?

Its a sweet chili, andits super easy and FANTASTIC onspaghetti ( if you want to make it amore wholesome meal, we alwaysask for it now, ever since a combina-tion left-over share. I really, HIGHLYrecommend it on spaghetti. ) One of the best recipes, EVER.

1 tbsp Chili Powder

1 tsp Salt, ( or to taste, Im a salt fan,personally. )

1/4 tsp Pepper ( I love my Grandma,she always measures out everythingperfectly. For this, you can do it toyour own tastes. )1/2 Oregano ( or italian seasoning,whatever youve got. Just a quick shot! ( lol. )

Recipe:

Barrie Dinner

Start with

1 package Kraft Dinner

Prepared to the directions, ( *or how-ever we have all improvised it

Then add

1 can cream of something soup, 1/2cup Milk ( *or if you only have somerandom sourcream just thin it out witha bit of water ;) )

Along with

1 cup chopped Ham ( or cookedchicken, a can of tuna (drained), *1cup of chopped MEAT. )

And toss in

Some chopped onion, maybe a canof peas or any other cooked veggiesyou like! ( * I usually buy that reallycheap frozen veg mix, and add about1 cup worth, it gives it a pretty goodvariety!!)

Mix it all up, AND BAKE!

after mixing all the contents, give it atry, maybe add a pinch of salt. Throwit all in a lasagna pan, or somethingthat will survive in an oven. Cook at350 Degrees F for about 25-30mins or just until the top starts to get a tiny bitcrunchy. You dont want it to be runnyat all when you go to serve it. ItsSOOOO GOOD. Still one of my all TIMEFAVOURITES!

A Taste OfPoverty

Origin: This recipe came from my momwhen she was in Art College in Barrie, livingo whatever any roommates would bringhome. Sometimes all there was, was someknock-o mac and cheese and a randomcan of tuna. No matter though, it was hot and it hit the spot! Dates back about 30 years now.
