mental disorder posters.

i find these minimalistic posters of mental disorders by patrick smith incredibly enlightening and interesting. they truly demonstrate the disorder. you know, you hear some of these words and you kinda get it in your head and you're too embarrassed to ask for clarification because it's something you feel like you should know and then when you see it drawn out like this the lightbulb goes on full blast. yup. got it.

i can relate to the ocd poster, a little. i didn't realize i was [even a little] ocd until i moved into an apartment all by myself. everything has its place. and while it can be out of its place for a short time, it will eventually freak me out. seriously. maybe i can blame it on the fact that my apartment is so small that when something is out of place the entire apartment appears to be in shambles and disarray. yeah, that. i'm going to blame the small apartment.

milk and toast -- a favourite and most nurturing combination. I like my milk ice cold with a straw (one of those cute paper straws with red stripes), or steaming hot, flavoured with a little vanilla and a lot of cinnamon. my toast -- usually two slices at once, and oftentimes flanked with apple slices or cheddar cheese -- is buttery and crunchy.

while growing old together with this blog, and watching it evolve, I've found joy in the milk and toast of my life, and have carved out a little place in the world wide web to record it. stick around, read a few entries -- perhaps you'll find something you love or can relate to.
