A Loveless World 8/24/22

I was watching another damned romantic “comedy”, and they often have the effect of making me feel my loneliness far too deeply. As per usual, when I feel like this, I like to write about it if for no other reason than so other people who might be feeling the same know that they are not alone.

Criminal Kindness 7/2/22

I’m not sure if this is a bitter post over the loss of my friend, or a happy one for having learned that she would have been a hollow friend who wouldn’t back me up if I were in need. Today, I don’t even know if they’re still married, and if so, if they’re happy

Friendless 5/31/22

In my deepest funk, in my loneliest hours, I know you all are with me in spirit, and never have I lost you in my heart. I know you literally saved my life, and I know we can pick it back up at any time.

Our neighbors, who usually had no plans on Christmas Eve (but never visited us at other times of the year) would come over and join in the festivities. We just ate deli meats and cheeses and cookies and visited.

Hanging with Star 7/14/21

You can’t just pick up a friend you’ve only known from that class you took that one time and just spend the day not doing anything. It takes a depth of friendship to be comfortable with those silences without feeling the need to fill them

Fetish Princess 6/4/21

My ex-wife was very jealous of my female friends. She forced me to give them all up. As it turns out, as now I know more about the subject than I did then, this is a form of spouse abuse.
