Your afternoon weather:
- heavy brain fog incoming
- followed by a hailstorm of indecision
- expect scattered showers of wistfulness & existential dread
- 75% chance of heavy sighing and ennui will continue into tomorrow

Be yourself.
Be helpful if you can.
Be insufferable if you have to.
Be as dark as you wish.
Be the reason a forest is considered haunted.
But most of all, be kind and stay weird.

Yes, the forest is haunted.
But that's not a bad thing.
The creatures of moss & gloom, twigs & talons, and howls & horror are only trying to make connections.
To be seen and heard.
Just like all of us.

As daylight creeps away
dusk falls all too soon.
I hunker down
in my favourite chair
with hot drink
and a blanket's hug
reading late into the night,
my only company
the whispering house.
