"Boundaries"

This my word of the day and I feel so much guilt.

I wrote this while thinking about work and, in working this job that I do, my opinions are thus.

As far as I can tell you, crisis lines are woefully ineffective. I'd go into more details but I won't, although, I will say is that, if you're in a vulnerable state, give your local peer-support lines a call, instead of crisis lines.

"Curse"

For some, their neurodivergence is a gift, however, for me, my neurodivergence is a curse--One I can't be rid of.

"Accepted Fate"

I'm quite the iatrophobe and so succumbing to an illness sounds quite likely.

If ever, per chance, that does happen, don't weep for me.

Just in awe of these new #translations of #TangPoetry by Wong May and wow, the Afterword, a #longpoem itself.
