Enjoying little things
Growing up in a small Montana town, there was never an escalator in sight. Hence when we traveled, I milked going up and down them for all it's worth. Akin to riding a ferris wheel.
As I'm writing this, going up and down the still-running escalators at Ballard Blocks, I seem to have reclaimed that simple pleasure I enjoyed many years ago.
Kin Revelations
Somehow, the lyrics of Toxicity by System of a Down is really fucking relatable at this point.
Kin Revelations
I'm starting to realize what an absolute importance it is to spend as much time as possible with my kin.
I have a broad network of human friends within various groups and social movements. Regardless of the fact that they're friends, interacting with them drains glamour. Which is easily recharged in the healing company of my fellow kin.
I've learned it the hard way. Immerse myself in too much Babylonian bullshit and it's guaranteed I'll go fucking bonkers.
Karmic Irony
You know how some people love blasting the ass out of their bass going down the road? Northgate way, my entire van starts shaking. Before I know it, my frequency is thrown off to the point where I can feel my soul separating and all I could think about was getting the Fuck away from the noise.
I was so distracted that I almost rear ended someone. Slammed on the brakes, and a red SUV almost rear ends me...
The same SUV that happened to be blasting earth shattering bass.
Roady 2.0... Complete!
Behold! A fully updated Roady! Oh my god, I seriously love how this came out. This feels more...Me.
As far as species dysphoria goes, I feel more grounded and comfortable with this rendition of myself. None of it's too jarring or tacked on. It's more...Organic?
I used the wings of Dren from the movie Splice as a reference and I do say, it totally fits!
MH - PTSD
The last year and a half, if not most of my life, I've been tossed around like a bean bag by one uninitiated man child after another.
I'm fucking done with it.
I need to do what's best for myself. That means finding work that doesn't trigger deep seated problems that involve dealing with these kinds of men.
Thankfully, I have emotionally mature individuals in my life who are willing to help guide me down my correct path. That, I can be truly grateful for.
MH-Job Stress (cont.)
As fun as said job was in the beginning, I'm starting to realize how badly it's taking over my life and my creative drive.
With all the projects I want to work on, I need to find a job that's closer in relation to those fields.
MH-Job Stress
Does anyone else ever been stressed to the point where not only does your brain fog up, become dizzy, and frustrated. But you also start feeling this deep burning sensation in your chest that resonates through your body as if you're about to spontaneously combust?
That's how I felt after last week. I haven't had any motivation this weekend...I slept all day.
If other projects demand my attention, maybe it's time for me to find a different line of work with skills I already have.
US Politics, School Shootings (---)
The Washington Post found a comparison I felt was worth sharing.
