Loss

The one thing we have in common, across all cultures and creeds and classes... is grief. 

The ever going transactions of transitions of giving and taking... Finding balances with people. Within myself. 

Change is part of living. We aren't supposed to stay the same. We are supposed to grow and prosper... Changing for the better... Making room for those who matter, within the plans of fun and party and celebrations... 

Sometimes, along the way, we are fortunate enough to meet seeds, soil, and water, to help us grow as people. Strength together than against or in favor of individualism... There's never just one tree in a forest. 

...
There's news of big change and I think it's time to move on, as well. This is definitely one of the coolest jobs ever... But it'll just add to my impressively eclectic resume. Adding to my personality.... Adding to my intrigue. 

My passion and profession should be bodywork. Quiet conversations with people's bodies as they float off to the abyss? I'd love to do that forever... Having funds and flexibility to travel and find a rebalance within myself will be nice, too. 

...

This weekend is Dragoncon. I'm doing the writer's track. I might meet some famous authors... 

....but I'll have some real fun flirting my ass off and strutting my stuff... The way I fucking want. Meet up with new and old friends. ...I am so ready for it. 

...

Snow.

Picked (allegory)

I kept swiping left on the iPurg app, Pick-a-Parent . All the profiles of people had previous, successful, and happily-placed souls, and they were looking for more. I don't take such decisions lightly. I like to take my time, even though that wasn't a tangible element to consider right now. These profiles were quaint, but not quite the feel for what I wanted for a lifetime around the Sun. I just kept swiping left; no one was clicking into place. No one was feeling right.  The way a company likes to exploit The Unborn as a franchise is as dystopian as it gets. Takes a Lifetime, but you'll get it, eventually! Most of these placements are chaotic. Yet, some are meticulous. Sometimes, We suffer enough to earn the Right to choose. As I kept scrolling through the app, not one person or situation hit that craving; that ache of need; that massive desire for drastic change; that lesson I've yet to grasp; that nerve ending of a proverbial scratch. Every Swiped-Left seemed too inv...

Snowing

Alright folks. Strap in. Please read "Unsure" for context.  Came out to my dad last week, then Atlanta froze over. I was at my friend Red's house during those Snow days! I've known him 8 years, and I'm so fucking happy we've maintained good friendship.  Anyway, my father sent me an email a few days ago.... I didn't read it until last night, bc I wanted a friend to be with me as I read it aloud and for the first time. My dad writes well... But ... So incredibly dismissive. My father is like me in that emotions are easier to describe through written words, taking my time to explain my thought process.  My father cannot get on my intellectual level. I am autistic, my needs are a lot, but I get overwhelmed and burnt out thinking and deciding what to do next. It would be cool to be able to live with friends and be as comfortable as a family. But I didn't know how to form those connections because I was never modeled healthy community, with respect and witho...

Laundry

I started this blog because I didn't have anyone to talk to about deeper feelings... About trauma that has happened and I didn't have anyone to share or confide in.  I always feel out of touch or out of sorts around others. Like I'm doing something I'm not supposed to or I'm not enough to keep up with. My other cousins just don't understand when I talk about all the hurt and I feel wrong about talking about it... But it feels like in this family we aren't supposed to talk about all the trauma bc it makes everyone look bad... On the off chance that something bad happens to me and I cease to exist, I want a record of feelings to be somewhere. A record of the atrocities my sister and I have endured... A reason why we are fucked up or "not doing what we are supposed to."  I was supposed to graduate college, find a husband to fix me, have kids, become everyone's caretaker.... And I didn't do that. I didn't really do any of that. I am exhaust...
