The Shame 8/10/22

Now, he is (to the best of my knowledge) the first former US president to be so deeply embroiled in criminal investigations over his actions while in office that his residence has been legally searched.

The Pain 8/9/22

I was hurting, emotionally, spiritually, psychologically, and I was trying to heal my pain.

The Best of Me 8/8/22

Without a partner, I find myself stuck, filled with desire, but no ambition. Able to move no more than a dinosaur trapped in a tar pit.

Evolved 8/7/22

have you noticed how angry the anti-woke movement seems to be? To be woke is to give up the illusion of certain freedoms, freedoms that should have never been given in the first place.

Broken Lifeline 8/6/22

That’s when she told me that my lifeline was broken. She said that this represents a break in my life pathway, some dramatic change in where my life was heading, and where it will go. She informed me that it would happen sometime in my ‘50’s.

Illya 8/5/22

The English Language changes, and is changing, and not always for the better. In the old Flintstones cartoons, the theme song would declare “We’ll have a gay old time.” Today, nobody would use the word “gay”

Disappoint 8/4/22

The truth is that I don’t want to disappoint them. If I let them down, I feel terrible. But, at the same time, I’ve let myself down, have done so for nearly the entire summer now, and continue to do say nearly every day. But the question becomes, why is it so much easier for me to disappoint myself, than it is my friends?

k ln w 8/3/22

I was putting my shirt back on when the tattoo artist at the next cubicle stood up and showed me the tattoo on his palm. No, it was not a bunch of springs (Palm Springs). Actually, it was a seemingly simple mathematical equation, S=k ln w.

Bashful 8/2/22

we are not empowering enough to children, and certainly not to females in our society. We train them to be silent, good little girls who play with dolls and wear pretty things, but rarely do we tell them how important they are, how much they have to contribute, and how capable they really are.

Repeating 8/1/22

Something as simple as stopping to ask somebody what is wrong when they retort “terrible” to the simple question of “how are you”, or just a smile in a line, can make far more of an impact than we may ever know. As do actions that are negative. The choice of who we are is ours, and ours alone.
