But sometimes, a girl needs to settle down with a tub of ice cream to help her forget the world. Favorite flavor that makes me think of goodtimes in childhood? Mint chocolate chip.

It's totally natural to sometimes turn to a favorite childhood food or something when you just need to let go. The problem is when you turn to that thing instead of dealing with feelings, which is Jenna's problem. Sometimes it's hard to feel feelings! But until you feel them and process them, they always stay scary and unchanged...Sara Z.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11759783678042291757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632611338168133022.post-52260693145399229482009-06-12T13:01:42.833-07:002009-06-12T13:01:42.833-07:00I do this, too.

And I also turn to books for comfort sometimes, so I can enter another world for a while.

But I don't have comfort food when I'm unsure... more when I'm just stressed out, for example, because of finals!Genevievehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04719564864865245424noreply@blogger.com
