It’s a cold rainy day. Everything slows down under the fast rain. The cold causes bodies to tense while searching for warmth. Stay cozy.

I’m a free therapist, splitting at the seams, unable to even tell him that I’m disappointed or I’d be the bad person. I realize my fate will be the same as her before me. “Whenever you can’s” and their echoing “I will tomorrow’s” that went unanswered a month ago. Air lunches. Realizations. #Prose

Journaling allows me to tell someone my true inner thoughts, even if that someone is only myself. Still, I can’t help but want to read a page from a rooftop, shout it out for all to hear, but I know doing so would only end in an isolation worse than I already feel. I’m thankful for the pen today.

I'm too exhausted to even think about my poetry. I give up. Maybe in the future when my life is a bit calmer, but right now I can't even remember things without them being on my calendar.

Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show was the best I’ve ever seen!

My new favorite song at the moment is Mt. Washington by Local Natives. My favorite lyrics are "Digging like you can bury something that cannot die." #LMusic #LocalNatives

I just saw Wicked and I loved it so much. I laughed, teared up, and felt many emotions. More than anything, I felt seen. I related to Elphaba in so many scenes. I didn’t know it was this nice to see myself in a character. I hope she gets a happy ending in Part 2!

Reposting with a preview screenshot so it goes into my media tab with the rest of my stuff. Hosted on google docs 🤷‍♂️

I wrote a short story.

This Christmas I got my family lovely customized gifts again. Here’s to hoping they actually ship before Christmas though. 🤞🏻

In the meantime I have a lot of making to do for the made gifts. Writing, origami, and painting awaits!

This season postal workers are actually Santa.

Parents, etc. should ask their young children to make gifts for their family. Teaching a child they can give without the need for money would be important and the lesson would hopefully save them a lot of heartache later in life.

It’s been a while, but here’s a poem I just spilled. Accidents are good, when it comes to writing, of course.

Does anyone know of any poetry collectors or poets who I can contact to find a collection/poet?

My grandmother had published something many years ago and we’ve been attempting to find her poetry for years. All of my grandmother’s possessions were lost, so I want to give at least this to my mother.

“Joy is the happiness that doesn’t depend on what happens.” - Brother David Steindl-Rast

Before reading the first poem in this collection this quote has already stopped me in my tracks. Unfortunately, my happiness is very dependent on what happens.

The newest song by #V of #BTS is the lovely Jazz song #WinterAhead. As always, Tae brings a new level of emotion to the jazz genre. His music is truly the perfect soundtrack for the season.

My family made my birthday very enjoyable this year. I’m so thankful for them.

I got Coldplay and Twenty One Pilots vinyls and went to a lovely bookstore in Boulder and found two new poetry books. We had a lovely dinner, ate cake, and played Mario Party. I’m happy.
