It’s a pleasure to meet you! — Brief Introduction Hi! My name is Robin Christine Honigsberg, and I’ve been writing seriously on Medium for about a year. I’m less than a month shy of my 46th birthday in July, single and never married, and I write a lot about living with mental illnesses, among a variety of…

The movie scared me, I cried and made my father take me home — The very first movie I remember seeing in the theatre was “Tarzan the Ape Man” with my late father in 1981, with Bo Derek and Richard Harris. I was five years old. Honestly, I don’t remember much of the movie, but I remember my father having to take me home…

There’s one for almost every occasion — I love music and have about two dozen playlists for different occasions; sad, happy, melancholy, anxious, depressed, etc. I have a “COVID” playlist for new music collected during the pandemic. My “Distraction Dance” and “Happy Dance” playlists are for when I need music with a good beat that is a…

The me you see is the me you get — I’m not a fan of social media. I use it mainly to promote my writing, but I stopped using it for posting information about my life. A lot is going on in my life right now, and if people aren’t complaining that my posts are too depressing, they’re sending messages…

I was four at the time; my goals have since changed — My daily prompt: When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? When I was a little girl, I wanted to be a fireman. When my mother asked me why, my response was apparently, “because I like red.” It sounds like a typical four-year-old’s logic. I don’t even know if I understood what firefighters did or even what fire was, but I…

I’ve had unlimited free time for four years, and it’s monotonous — I, technically, have unlimited free time. I’m unemployed after losing my job for being on sick leave for too long and have the time to do whatever I want all day, every day. I’ve had unlimited free time for four years. I was recovering from an overdose and severe depression…

I also published my 153rd article on Medium and have reached almost 800 followers — I’m proud of myself. I just published my 153rd article on Medium but have never received the coveted email telling me I was a top writer in any topic. However, thanks to an article by BichoDoMato and his response to my comment, I wondered if I was a top writer…

Jewelled ring holders — I collect a number of things, such as shoes, scarves, purses and costume jewellery (since I can’t afford the real thing). These are typical items many females tend to collect. But I also collect something a little more unique, although I’m not sure they’re any less girly. When I was…

He’s the male version of me! — We have many things in common and many differences that complement one another. Like me, my soulmate is a writer and book lover. We both get lost in our work and don’t realize how much time has passed. We often eat meals at odd hours; the only time we stick…
