Attention seeking title
That has been my struggle the last few weeks, I have been seeking out attention, and failing. I am not sure if cuffing season started early, if it is the seasons changing, or the blaring warning signs of my depression demanding attention. “Raw dogging healing” is how my friend Keebler defined my approach to healing…

What do you do?
One of my least favorite questions, tied with “where are you from?”. I know both of them stem from my issues and are perfectly harmless questions. Even more so I know how hard it is to strike up a conversation, but I dislike the questions. The latter question “where are you from?” because I have…

Working title
I celebrated my 51st B-Day recently. I found it more prudent not to plan anything huge like I was trying to do for my 50th. The plan for that was to walk the Vermont Long trail, and to visit friends along the way. The hope was that a few people would join me in the…

Spring is in the air

Sides
Apparently they want us to start picking teams again. It’s getting easier and easier for me to see that neither “side” politically gives a damn about the people. With the extremes on either side getting louder and louder it seems likely to get worse before it gets better. I pray I am wrong, And allow…

Baby it’s cold outside
As someone who lives with depression I can say that I feel this divide between myself and others. I have good friends, ones I spend a lot of time with and real effort into being close to, but there is a void. Please sir, before you start down your God shaped hole theory, consider the…

Hard time(s)
I truly do love this life, even if some of the times have been pretty hard. Today is pretty hard. This pain is particularly hard because it is not really mine to own, I had to see a loved one off to prison today. It is a sympathetic pain for them, they are facing the…

What’s in a month?
Most of us realize by now that life can change in an instant. Likely by now someone you know has had a medical event that changes their life as a diagnosis was read, or an accident forever limited their freedom. Maybe that is your story or perhaps your life has had other struggles but have…
