Lover Girl Syndrome

I can fall in love with anyone if you give me 3 days and a common thread. And I think that's my problem. I don't want or like cautiously climbing for the sake of saving face or being rational. I want to love them, and I want to do so now. This most recent boy? In 3 days, I imagined waking in his arms to snow outside my bedroom window. And he said he wanted casual. What the fuck is casual? I only know seeing someone and showing them a portrait of my perspective. That's how I love people. I want to show them magic and now I am terrified to be that. I have to DM someone and ask them "how...

Flash My Fluffy Corn Chip

My little boy,        
my mechanic  
my bathroom checker        
my bandit❤️ and        
my corn chip lover     
       
we laid you to rest today        
my heart is broken.        
I knew it was coming,        
but I was hoping you would recover,        
but you didn’t.        
       
you came to us nervous and shell shocked        
but overtime you trusted us and became        
our snuggle, buddy     
you gave us so much love & joy❤️        
we love you like a...

Dear diary: thoughts about family Dec '24

I don't understand a great deal about psychology, I spend a lot of time trying to manage my own, but I'm not an expert in people.

Something I've never really understood is family dynamics. It's never made sense to me, the insular nuclear unit.

I don't like secrets. Well, I like my own secrets. I don't like other people's secrets. I don't like having to play pretend for other people, so that the world looks at them as better than they really are. Notable exception is my daughter. She reminds me too much of myself.

My family is all about secrets and tradition...

A sight I will never forget

A UPS truck ran into a telephone pole on the corner near my home
I was 10
Skinny freaked out, wild eyed and full of shit
The driver's head went through the windshield
Exploded on the telephone pole
Never occurred to me
The beauty of that scene
Blood, brains and all that milk
Everything ran down to the gutter
I ran down the hill observing the greying milk snake

My parents on the other hand were quite annoyed
The package they were expecting was destroyed!
