Let’s try this again. We made it. We get another chance to get it right. I’m keeping my resolutions to myself, but the list isn’t short, and it’s different than it has been in the past. Every thing I am, or have. I want more of it. Every gap I have, I am building bridges to cross. I’m ready to work. That said, sweet queen mother universe... Help. supreme alpha and omega father God... Help... Let ‘20 be the darkest moment before daybreak. Let last year be winter, come and gone. We may not deserve spring dawn... but shit it would be nice. https://www.instagram.com/p/CJhl8TWleI_/?igshid=vfsnqgfbfisg

I’m not a dreamer / I talk to God before bed / I’m a prayer. (8.27.19) #haiku https://www.instagram.com/p/B1r7qP4Fn0a/?igshid=125phkq3gdz35

Slauson boy: You never met half of the people who will miss you. But you left folks with a roadmap. You left folks with a path they can walk along. You left it better than you found it, and with lives longer, most will struggle to take it farther. Well done. Rest easy.

I’m trying to get more intentional about writing (something) every day, whether or not I post it. Sometimes, that writing ends up with random fragments and quotes and things... sometimes I keep it all for myself, until I find a therapist.
