Spin repeat. Twist repeat. Waiting wasting. Jagged razors slipping through my hands. Tired sweat bands. I can not condemn. Pompous you will stand. Presuming what is next. Jagged pieces at my feet. Crumbling at my knees. Out of a routine. What pain, it's all the same. Habitual. It's a...

I dreamt that I was in a fight with some guy trying to take control of some tech that would completely change infrastructure as we know it. I grabs some kinda wand of a sort and trapped him in this energy. He tried to stop me but I tugged and trapped him in place. After that some short haired...

Lots of good things have been happening recently since we moved house. I’m just over a week free from smoking tobacco, sugar, and ultra-processed foods — sweets and treats included. It’s safe to say that comfort eating was my biggest addiction in life — eating my feelings with sugar, processed...

The past few days have been days of inner turmoil, including a fairly intense depression spike. I felt I needed something to at least somewhat directly counter the dense darkness. I remembered early on in my meditation journey, I ran into a technique called Smile Meditation, or Inner Smile. So I...

Table, they are all laid out. Ligjts off flashes like a book memories going by clicking. Why DIDNT HE JUST END ME? Get rid of me. Devour me. A gently bite. A piece of my neck. Enough to draw blood. Sucking, drinking. He enjoys every second. What even are you? Am I just your play thing? Your...

As I lie awake unable to sleep. Pain dripping over the right side of my body. I say dripping because it feels like my body has been drenched in a vat of corroded battery acid. You know that burning feeling your skin gets when you touch it? The pain that goes to your bone if you hang onto it...

Long, boring drive this morning… maybe solved by car karaoke :P
These playoffs are absolutely not high stakes btw, we are an entry level team playing against hot messes who drop their sticks, fall, and hit the post on an empty net… it’s been called the “consolation cup” lol. That is how we keep bulldozing everyone. We just suck *less*. It’s just for fun!

I'm in no way trying to demean myself or imply that I'm a bad goalie, but I'm usually up against goalies who block shots like they're blindfolded, lol. For what our team is, we're very good, which is why we keep winning, but the competition is usually dead in the water.
