  <description>&lt;p&gt;I work in Information Technology (IT.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&apos;ve had a fascination with computers my entire life, until I began working with them as a career, but, more on that later.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Does anybody remember Angelfire?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Angelfire was a free website hosting platform that allowed you to have a free website, provided you didn&apos;t mind having an ad, and could code it yourself (which I could.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The first Journal of Anonymous was my site, on Angelfire, circa 1996.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When I began writing, I realized that in order to make this truly anonymous, I would need to change people&apos;s names. Therefore, this entry is the Cast of Characters, and will be updated as I need to.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Janice — A scientist friend who I have a crush on&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jay — My best male friend&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Calix — My ex girlfriend, a long distance relationship with a married woman&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We can start there.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;__________________________________________________&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&apos;m used to self-isolation. While at different times of my life I have lived with others, the last 15 years or so have been me, largely living alone.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I want a relationship. My entire life, its all I have wanted. My dream is to become married. Or....it was.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the same time, I find relationships that have no possible way of working, like long distance, or in the case of my last one, with a woman who lived across the country and was fucking MARRIED. Most people don&apos;t do that.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In my defense, I legitimately thought Calix was going to get a divorce and we would be together. I made mention of it quite often, but I guess I just fooled myself into believing it would happen, and now legitimately question my own sanity.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I still don&apos;t understand exactly why I am so needy for this, and I don&apos;t understand why I put this blockade up, of trying to get an impossible relationship.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I haven&apos;t had sex in almost 2 years. I have a nightly relationship with my hand and porn. Forget sex, I miss TOUCHING someone. I miss getting kissed, getting hugged. Touch is incredible, and not having it sucks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Enough for right now. Next entry: Change.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;______&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;Spoken Sideways and Indirect /Without a Single Word Left Unchecked&lt;br&gt;And By Your Own Admission / No One Is Ever Above Suspicion&lt;br&gt;Defenses Never to Be Let Down / The Lies Readily Abound,&lt;br&gt;Gaping Jaw Tightly Wound&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;— &quot;Desolation,&quot; Randy Blythe&lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;There is so much. I don&apos;t know where to start.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My analytic brain says make a list. Things you need to address. Highlights.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1980 - Born with a tumor in spine. This tumor has caused me issues with my nerves and back for my entire life.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dad is an alcoholic drug user, but he does work. Mom takes care of my brother and I.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1985 - Excelled at reading, writing and mathematics. Brought into gifted classes. Made fun of by schoolkids because of constant Dr visits. Interest in computers, even from this young age.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1986? Porn discovered. Sexual awakening occurs at an incredibly young age. Masturbation begins.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1994 - Car Accident that caused multiple injuries&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1997 - Gave up college to take care of parents (who by this point had developed some serious health problems) / home&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1998? First sexual experience is a &quot;failure&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Relationships are already &quot;detached&quot; at this point, distance is always a factor&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2000 - Took a career he really didn&apos;t want in order to make ends meet / gives up dreams&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2005 - Moves into his own place, further isolation?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2008 - Move to California to take a job - walked away from everything I knew. Meet woman online. Begin long distance relationship with a married woman.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2009 - Death of Mother&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2015 - Diagnosis of Cancer&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2018 - Diagnosis of Bipolar after complete mental breakdown / 3 years of nerve pain / discovery of cannabis&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2019 - End of 9 year long distance relationship.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2020 - Move to Chicago to take care of relative, diagnosed with lung, liver, and brain cancer&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fuck My Life.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Everything you read from here on out is true.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Every single word.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have no reason to lie.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I went to great lengths to protect my identity as much as I could. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&apos;m never gonna say my name. Call me Guy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aentry-post__figure aentry-post__figure--text-width&quot; data-figure-type=&quot;image&quot; data-image-type=&quot;standart&quot;&gt;
            &lt;div class=&quot;aentry-post__img--text-width&quot; style=&quot;width: 344px;&quot;&gt;
              
                &lt;img style=&quot;max-width: 100%&quot; src=&quot;https://ic.pics.livejournal.com/journalanon/86522160/735/735_original.jpg&quot; fetchpriority=&quot;high&quot; /&gt;
              
              &lt;figcaption&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;
            &lt;/div&gt;
          &lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&apos;m a fucking mess and I need to get this shit out of my head.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&apos;m bi-polar.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&apos;m depressed.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&apos;m on meds, but I&apos;m about to lose my insurance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&apos;ve &amp;nbsp;had numerous, debilitating health problems my entire life, including &amp;nbsp;cancer, and tumors. Because of this, I live in constant pain.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&apos;m recently off a 9 year long distance-relationship, with a married woman.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&apos;m into kink. There is a specific part of female anatomy that drives me wild.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&apos;m &amp;nbsp;living with and taking care of someone who is currently dying of lung cancer which has spread fucking *everywhere.* A guy who never smoked in his life.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I suck my thumb.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have OCD.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have problems. Problems that most people don&apos;t have.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I &amp;nbsp;have journaled for the better part of my life. I have them scattered &amp;nbsp;across txt documents, across word documents, across wordpress sites, &amp;nbsp;across sites coded in HTML that I, myself designed.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have had reams of paper and books with locks with my words for as long as I can remember.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When I am hurting, it seems to help, and I&apos;m hurting.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I &amp;nbsp;try to journal every day. I do it for a while, then I stop, then I come &amp;nbsp;back years later, and I feel like shit because I haven&apos;t done it in so &amp;nbsp;long.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Its a long, fucked up cycle, and I hate it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have no idea how long I&apos;m gonna be here for, but I&apos;m gonna try forever.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have lived in fear my entire life about being able to fully divulge myself for fear of being labeled a fucked up wacko.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Who sucks their thumb, or likes shaved female armpits?&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I do. And I don&apos;t want your judgement.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I &amp;nbsp;want to tell this story. I&apos;ve been thinking of compiling a book. I &amp;nbsp;still have all those documents, and could compose 10 volumes of shit &amp;nbsp;already.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Any way I do it, I think its going to start to come out.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But &amp;nbsp;the only way I can have this form of self therapy is if I&apos;m able to do &amp;nbsp;it fully, and completely, and for that reason, I need my anonymity.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This isn&apos;t a story for kids. That&apos;s the only warning I&apos;m gonna give.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And while I may reveal things to you that you absolutely despise me for, I will repeat, just one more time:&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;Everything you read from here on out is true. Every single word. I have no reason to lie.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
