Writing seminar!
A reminder that it’s totally possible to feel completely alone, even if you have a great social net, friends and supportive family. Addressing those feelings is vital to maintaining good mental health.
As a belated birthday present for me, can you do something nice for someone else and tell me about it in the comments? I’d really like to see some positivity in the world right now.
46 is such a weird birthday. It feels like nothing, which I guess you could say that to most birthdays. Everyone’s just waiting for the big 5-0 I guess. But it’s so arbitrary. Age isn’t as important as we think it is, especially once you get past your early 20s.
Just relaxin by the lake

White Sands NP. Amazing place.
Nobody loves a stalemate. Liking it is another matter. Sharing bed sheets in a downy purgatory. Softness, no matter the position you prefer. You could lie in satin for eternity, but you’ll never love it. It’s a commitment in name only. A lovely open room with nowhere to sit. Standing, never acknowledging the windows, exits that could end the imagined battle whose victory is avoided at any cost, destitution embraced, bare bones coveted over any semblance of concession, a feast of truth left to rot along with the minds of men who desire the battle over the simple option of peace
