15 comfort shows and one sentence about why they comfort me

These are in no particular order.

  1. Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated: Friendship! Always finding the bad guy! Plus, Star Trek references!
  2. Gilmore Girls: A show shared with some dear friends.
  3. Friends: Also a show shared with some dear friends.
  4. Real Housewives: I guess, since I've seen it all, it's just comforting to escape my drama with familiar, removed drama.
  5. Survivor: I guess it's easy to get lost in and there is such a back catalog of it that I can just watch on end and not think about it.
  6. Say Yes to the Dress: It's simple and pretty.
  7. Sweet Magnolias: It's just so pleasant.
  8. Nailed It!: Nicole Byer is so charming, the cakes are so funny, and, mostly, it celebrates trying your best.
  9. Bridgerton: Escapist romance can carry me away.
  10. One Day at a Time: To be fair, I haven't watched this in a while, but I found the family so loving and comforting.
  11. The Try Guys: Technically, this is its own channel now, but I guess I like it all. The videos are goofy, heartfelt, and, sometimes, informative.
  12. The Bachelor: It's simple, formulaic, and has enough dashes of drama to keep me interested.
  13. 90 Day Fiancé: Now, I generally prefer to watch the new stuff, but I guess I find it comforting because it's a show I share with friends and because there is, in a good season, a balance between love to root for and relationships to laugh at.
  14. Leverage: I love this show so much. It has heart, humor, and hijinks. It has found family, heists, and action. I adore it, and I also share this adoration with dear friends.
  15. RuPaul's Drag Race: I've seen it all, but that doesn't stop it from being dazzlingly distracting.

I'm angry

I'm angry. And I don't (at the moment) want to be talked out of it. I struggle, often, with expressing or even just sitting with my emotions. I feel like even the photo I chose for this post was more reserved or toned down than how I feel.  But, this is my trying. I'm not going to time this post, just going to write until I feel done, whenever that may be. In this post, I'm going to focus on the anger I feel around my dad and my dad's death. Though, don't get me wrong, I'm also angry about a lot of things going on in my city, in my country, and in the world. My dad chose alcohol over me and my brother. There is no way around this fact. Yes, when I am less angry, I can be more reasonabl and recognize that addiction is a disesase and he didn't have control over it. But, right now, I want to be angry. I want to get to be angry. I want to get to feel my feelings. I don't want to rationalize, I don't want to be reasonable, I don't want to be fair....
