Just another day
You know your life is crazy when you're cleaning vomit out of piercing holes in a stranger's bathroom.

Only then did I realize how much I had when she told her daughter they lost everything in the fire.
I was so humiliated I didn't wear them for three years, because I found out that they were fashionable and made by starving foreign kids.
At approximately 1:30 pm on Friday February 1, 2008, I realized that when you get to college they expect you to wear watches.
I was 14 when I grasped my fathers lifeless hand and realized I didn't hate him after all.
I told my husband I wanted a new, simple wedding band because the 1.3c diamond I wear is not a symbol of our love but of my greed.
It wasn't until after we broke up that I knew I'd marry him someday.
Unbeknownst to even myself, I found that yes, I would take money out of a wallet that I found lying on the open ground.
My life has been a never-ending series of bad haircuts and parking tickets.
As I stood in the eternal checkout line, the first 12 seconds of "Grease is the Word" skipping endlessly over the sound system, I realized the pretend boyfriend I was describing to the crazy bag lady was you.
The one thing I thought I had enough of turned out to be my addiction.
He was going to wipe the tear away, but his touch burnt me, especially after I told him my boyfriend hadn't done that for over a month.
As I sat on the couch in my boxer shorts, watching football and having nothing of import to do, I realized once and for all that I actually enjoy being single.
I seriously enjoyed being a clown, until I realized clowns aren't taken seriously.
After serving liquor to alcoholics all day, I realised that I am, in fact, a bad person.
I can't describe it, but it was the strangest feeling when I realized I was alone in a dermatologist's office reading Kurt Vonnegut's "Fates Worse Than Death."
It was upon the waking with red knuckles and bruises... I realize, I'm addicted.
I thought we had a connection, instead, I realized I loved my boyfriend after all.
My heart in my throat, I watched as that second blue line started to materialise before my eyes and I realised, this is it - the moment that would change everything I ever imagined the rest of my life to be.
It was as I stared down on the urban landscape unfolding before me that I realized, if the eye mirrors the soul, then cities are the eyes of humanity.
