Since when is it ok to harass people for experiencing grief? Even if the grief seems to be extended and unreasonable to you, it’s not to the person experiencing it. Reminiscing, and crying, over the loss of a relationship is not bragging. It’s part of the healing process. When a loved one is taken out
I’m always thinking about Lucy. Even three years after last seeing her. Yesterday, I imagined what if I seen her out at a store? What would she say? What would she do? Did her parents feed her society’s narrative that I’m a monster, and change her opinion of me? Would she avoid me. Would she

This was my first time attending such an event, and my first time meeting other self-proclaimed MAPs. Upon arriving at the conference center, I seen a

Last week, Lucy’s mom called and said she was supposed to babysit our friend’s daughter Annie, but couldn’t pick her up from the bus stop, because she needed to be home when Lucy gets off the bus. She asked me to go pick up Annie. I got there, and Annie who is usually shy, completely
In reply to a MAP who was worried about a relationship going wrong. You can never choose who you fall in love with. Just like you can’t force yourself to fall in love when the emotion isn’t there. Love is a strange emotion. I think many of us here have gone through much of what
