A HAIKU ON "ABSENCE"

Winter Coat

Hanging by the door,
Holding shape but missing warmth,
Dust begins to settle.

How to Find Inner Peace When You’re Struggling with Life, Relationships & Loneliness:
💎 Life has a way of feeling overwhelming when we are navigating difficult relationships or carrying the quiet weight of loneliness. If you are struggling with family complexities, or finding it hard to reach the goals your heart truly desires, please know you don’t have to walk this path alone.

The Joy Between the Storms….

Sometimes it feels like happiness arrives only long enough to remind me what I'm missing. And yet... Despite the fire ant. Despite the broken toes. Despite the cane. Despite crying when it was time to leave because the trip was over almost as soon as it began... There were still moments. A sunrise over the dunes. The sound of the ocean calling me into her waves. Walking hand in hand with Rob through streets older than most of our country.

My mom passed away a month or so ago. I've been so tied up with funeral prep (and our vacation), it's not really processed in my brain.

But I've missed not texting her notes and photos from our trip.

And today someone asked me how my folks met and started dating and how Dad proposed -- and I realized I don't know the answers to that and so, likely, never will. Which is a #sadness.

The difference between humans in anime stories and actual humans is stark. In actual life, much of humanity is corrupt, selfish, and coercive, and while good parts balance these bad parts, the consequences to much of human living is morally gray and systemically complex, and human living could also be characterized as mundane, arbitrary, unjust, and largely devoid of the deep meaning shown in anime stories, though this is reasonably explained by the nature of chance, which actually rules human day-to-day lives.

Anime stories are like a sanitized, idealized escapist's utopia in comparison, where the humans being represented are often figures of a morally righteous light in a fairer world that has been optimized for meaning.

@Jacob_Wren I’ve lost everything , but my publication , and a fractured bestie group. The depression is the worst and I’m trying to get out of it but in a few short months I’ll be alone again against a sauce where both of my throuple members are gone and living happily ( which they should have that happiness and joy , I cry as much for them having that joy as I cry over losing them )

Today is just hard.
I am still in a sense of deep #loss
And something that I loved very. much is going through #change
The change itself is beautiful, even gorgeous, but its change that I cant be involved in. So the #Sadness follows it.
