Dear Jesus, I am home now in bed. Feeling beside myself…whatever that means. It just felt to at that in this moment. I feel like I should not complain. After all, I just got my how water put back on after 90 days of not having it and I got the lead opening a film. I’m just tired I guess. May…
Session 2: 11/6/24
I’ve been in some interesting places but Furf’s Brewery had the worst rat problem that I have ever seen. We were swarmed by dozens of them and for a while it seemed like the onslaught wouldn’t end! Cass was having a rough time dispatching them and it was clearly pissing her off. She just kep…
Friendships and being Weird
At what age does a person stop wondering when will they fit in? At what age does a person become ok being alone? I been called weird since I was a kid. When hanging out with cousins I was always the loud and the silly one. Always cracking jokes, kind of outgoing. They were more reserved. Had…

Trying to see the positive
Well at least I’m not sitting home alone. I guess that can get me through 2 more hours of work. Work wouldn’t be so bad today if I didn’t hurt so much. I have a dull pain in my back that’s just throbbing. Trying to stay busy but chair keeps calling me to sit.
Bad memories
Dear someone, Yesterday was a long day, it was so exhausting and sad. I had another PTSD episode, I haven’t had one this bad in so long, that tightening feeling and darkness took me back to that dark time, everything was overwhelming and the fact I was in my car with my mom screaming at me w…
We have enough time for it all.
Election night. We watch it and smart phone it and Wikipedia it all night. Till we are filled with numbers and polls and stuff. It is not my thing, Morry’s. But I like to do this thing with her. I like to flit. In and out and watch how she gets excited and tells me some bit of news or tidbit…
Yay! Stuff!
On this little life journey of mine, I, like so many others, are on this constant epic quest to find meaning. I want to pursue what is meaningful to me. As a part of that search, I found myself applying to become a crisis counselor… And I got accepted. My training officially starts today a…
