Friend advice?
One of my good friends is going through a really hard time. I like spending time with her, but her personality is a little strong & I often find myself exhausted after hanging out.
I also find myself agreeing to spend time with her when I don't really want to, because I'm afraid of upsetting her.
I honestly don't know what to do. I think I need to simply hang out with her less, but I know she needs support. Any advice?

if you're in NYC, please consider attending the final performance event for my NYU class on making computer-generated poetry. friday may 4th, 7:30pm-9pm at 721 Broadway in Manhattan https://gist.github.com/aparrish/292279e3d2d141b141fd3e9e9bd1b20f (also here's a fb event link if that's easier for you https://www.facebook.com/events/324251648103831/)
I'm really overwhelmed with the quality of the student work this year—if you're into poetry and/or computation you should definitely be there.

I am doing some MH processing with the workbook Leaving Loneliness. It focuses on attachment style and methods for forming Earned Secure Attachment as an adult.
Anyway as an exercise we're supposed to write our "Attachment Story". I'm almost done and I'm up to 3,377 words. I'm already past a NaNoWriMo day of output! Which is good, I think. :P
Graffiti -- including tagging -- is excellent. It's a human claiming of space, a de-sterilization of the commons.
