Damn MS fog. I'd forgotten I was here. I'm back. Haven't really been anywhere except for Substack. I am spotlighting Black writers as well as some of my favorite Horromance movies (on notes.) Keeping this page open so I don't forget it.😂

This has been sitting in a tab. It's rough, but so is grief, no?
It is a bit like eating glass and your heart is where your stomach sits. You reflect and reflect, seeking wisdom, and the knowledge gains you nothing but misery. But you still need to understand the why, and so keep eating.

I asked why I hadn't met any of his buddies though we'd been going out for months and he said that I was uncomfortable in my own skin. That I made him feel awkward and he didn't want them to feel weird. So last night I slipped into his skin and went out with the boys to paint the town red.

For some reason, most likely hearing about it in a show, I jotted down "Prayer Bean, Ga." It is highly poisonous, so perhaps an old episode of The Mentalist? It is an interesting little thing. Will definitely use it somewhere.

Everyone sat in shadow. Blaming it on the heat. Said it was too hot for words, so they grunted. Sometimes, they waved
a hand. Not a smooth movement. More jitters and glitch. Grandma stared, head shaking as though trying to convince someone that something was a bad idea. But still she stared.

Right now-
Lord Huron, Elliott chasing a fly throughout the house, a sluggishness from breakfast or the heat or the MS. Editing three pieces that I thought were further along. Distance is a harsh judge.
