a country in ruins after 8 years of BushCo. Years of mongering and self-serving mercenary fiscal behavior to benefit the few at the expense of most of the nation if not the world. And gets the blame. I almost can't bear to watch.

Sadly, it took me years and failed relationships to figure out what "normal" looked like. I spent years in therapy trying to make myself again. I am now happily married and have a "normal" relationship. It feels great. I was just having a conversation with a coworker this morning about the things that make a marriage work or fail, and the fine line between sticking it out and working together to make things work or giving up and walking away. It's so odd because it seems like people are just so stubborn in the wrong ways that the ones who never should have been together in the first place are the ones that fight tooth and nail to stay together and the ones that have a fighting of saving a marriage walk away at the drop of a hat.
