Am going to stop posting here.
Social media implies there will be contact. I get one like per 20 posts here and while I appreciate that like, I'm going back to where I have at least a little interaction.
I guess y'all can consider my Bsky account defunct. Look me up on fb or Threads.
Sad.

A good first date, we walked down an Albuquerque alleyway just talking.
I think I'd like to see her again.

Meeting her at noon at a park up the road. I'm not really nervous anymore, after the conversations we've had this last week, I'm just curious.
Certain things cannot be faked.
Lets find out.

A delay, but it's not a problem. We're still looking at meeting up but check engine lights come first.

My only real goal for today is to not psych myself out about tomorrow. The worst thing that could happen? I've made a new friend.
Sticking to the plan, follow the rules, just be myself. I realize this might sound simple to everyone else but I'm pretty well know for fucking things up.

I asked a new girl out and she said yes!
I'm batting pretty high on fb dating. I've had 5 dates in total and one two year relationship. Now another date? Not too bad. 😃😃😃

My therapist reminded me I'm not looking for an escape, my actual goal is survival. I should expand my circle, break routines, disrupt repetition. Even an act like walking home in a new direction can shift the focus.
The aim is to change it up. Break rhythm, survive.
Such a good #therapy session.

I have a strange feeling that tonight might be a little more than just another average night for me. Of course I recognize that could be pure delusion too, I tend to lead with my heart.
I just really like this one, y'all. Cross your fingers for me, okay?

Remembering my Dad today, Retired E-8 USAF '63-'83. A bipolar alcoholic/addict with 4 divorces, he once told me I was a much better father than he had been.
Whenever I was struggling as a parent, I would deliberately do the opposite of what he would have done. Pretty simple.
Thank you Dad.

Kind of in an off mood since yesterday. I'm going to keep to myself tonight and try focus on my responsibilities, and to do my best to mind my own business.
Going to try to focus on constructive and creative things.

So today's #AwfulFirstDate was something else. In addition to several other glaring red flags (getting lost at a major intersection, discussing her former meth cook within the first 5 minutes) she told me Trump was sent by God to remove all the corrupt politicians.
My jaw hit the floor.

I'm going on a coffee date with a new friend this morning. My therapist told me this is incredibly healthy for me, because I'm building connection, practicing emotional presence and reclaiming agency. It's supposed to build confidence too.
I'm still nervous though.

I've had more than one person I love say I'm not listening today, that I don't come across like I'm asking, I come across like I'm telling.
This hurt my feelings, which is a sure sign that they were right.
Feeling ill/having insomnia is no excuse. I am grateful I have therapy this week.

One positive thing about being a lonesome insomniac with a broken heart?
