Be Kind to Your Mind

It’s all you’ve got.

The Mortifying Ordeal of Being an Introvert Who Craves Attention

How the heck do I reconcile being exhausted by social interaction with feeling like I’ve got frickin’ superpowers when someone shows an interest in me?

Y’all got any pointers?

It Has Its Points

An 80-minute commute is no picnic, but I certainly can’t complain about the view…

A large, grassy plain with hazy mountains in the distance and a bright blue sky brushed with clouds, tinged yellow with the sunset on the right side.

Absent Mind

Getting real sick of feeling like a shell. Not empty, exactly: all my parts are still here, still have weight and feeling and motion and thought. It’s just that I’ve gone missing.

When the lights are on, but nobody’s home, is there a word for how the home feels?

Huh

Maybe I should be self-indulgent more often?

A bar chart showing views and visitors for the author's blog. Mostly short bars, two of which are labeled "poem I'm really proud of" and "I think it's funny." Three taller bars, labeled "one person binge-reading," "I'm sad waahhh," and "melodramatic love letter to nobody." The last two are also labeled "popular???"

Never Doubt It

A cardboard sign, abandoned on the side of a freeway. It says: "Never boubt the impact you make with just a little bit of kindness. It is NOT taken for granted. Thank you and god bless." A second sign lies beneath it, partly obscured. Only one word is visible: "help."

Never Mind

No post today, sorry. Might put it up tomorrow instead. If not, I’ll see you all on Monday. Go give somebody you like a hug.

Massive Damage

My body hurts. That’s the trouble with making yourself vulnerable: it leaves you vulnerable. Who knew?

I suppose grief is like exercise, in that way. It leaves you sore and exhausted, and too much will destroy you. But if you can push through the pain without injury, if you can embrace it and let it flow through you instead of flinching away, you’ll come out stronger in the end.

I think the muscle grief exercises is the heart.

Longer post tomorrow. Can’t promise it will be good. Dear readers, I apologize, but you may have to indulge me a little. Thank you for your patience. I love you (all three of you) very much.
