To a stranger

You want a real answer, sweet girl? Take a deep breath, and analyze for a second whether or not this is something you're eventually going to have to figure out an answer for. If it feels unbearable to think about it, and your heart might split if you address the thoughts that keep sneaking into that pretty head of yours, you gotta shut them out. Turn on the TV, find the most mindless cartoon on and blast that shit. And this isn't running away from your thoughts, presh, at least I don't believe so. Nope- just taking the fucking reins into your hands, gripping tight, and making a decision to take care of your mind and soul. You'll need those later. But in all honesty baby girl, the best way to feel better about those thoughts are to look them square in the eye and kill them. Rationalize them. Make them shrink. If that's irrabulous- then take back your alpha dog status and make them stay out.

And that's it, that's all you can do. If you don't want them in, you have to proactively keep them the fuck out. You've got it, and whatnot.

Hey, thanks, by the way.

With love, and some serious empathy,

Sunshine
