unhinged for the abundance revealed to me when i take the time to look


not my default mode
thanks to my neurological disposition


but
all the goddess_whispering
i've been doing
for the past couple years
has shifted me


so instead of being
totally mired in the gloom
of current circumstances
i can look at
the past four months
as proof
that the kind of man i want
is definitely out there

now maybe
the mother
will send one to me
who is actually available
now that i know
what to look for

tender_square for not slipping on the ice patch i didn't see on the sidewalk

for a therapist who understands me

for crab-stuffed wontons in all their warm, cheesy pocket-ness

for a felted bunny that comforts me on difficult days

for a conversation that feels like it has never ended, even after we say goodnight

...
kerry (an activity i should do more intentionally, more often)

books in the mail- to and from

night showers and clean sheets

as many cups of tea as i like

"this reminded me of you"

epitome of incomprehensibility Aw, thanks! And gratitude to you all, for this writing space.

Gratitude also to Lia, for comforting me when I felt anxious and making me laugh.

To David, for sending me a Valentine's card filled with encouragement for me pursuing goals - for also detailing the memories of our first meeting, our first-date-in-retrospect, and other moments.

Fuck, I don't deserve this. (And I apparently think I sound less sappy if I swear.)

Or: I WILL deserve this, if I give back some good Christian karma, which my dream kaballah says is halal to do.

e_o_i I feel like I've been complaining too much lately, so here are two things that for me have been relatively easy/un-bad:

-exams (most of them)
-period cramps (hardly ever "cramps," more often vague discomfort)

raze it grows in the strangest places. sometimes it takes a bit of ugliness to remind you how much beauty there is, and how fortunate you are to be alive to witness it, even on your worst days. 230516
