don't want to

 i really don't want to continue therapy.

But i will. 

I'm slowly pulling the parts together  that have scattered in the wind.  I have to continue.

Yesterday, a poem started to form in my mind - having to do with evil and what it is- or what it looks like.  It isn't scary, or ugly- It comes in the form of a man/woman who you are unbearably attracted to, can't get enough of- even though they rip your soul out.  They possess your mind, take over your thoughts....you never see them coming.  That is evil.  

I'm working on it.  Mulling it in my mind.  I'm sure it's not a new concept, but to me, it is.

Especially today - All Hallows eve when the veil between the worlds lift.  

Is it about "others" or is it about yourself?  When we see ourselves and the people around us very clearly.  

My creative juices are flowing and then stopping.  Flowing than hitting a wall.

But i will run with them this time.  I will put them down when the idea becomes too tough because i've handled it too much - and i will watch the thoughts that flow through my brain and notice how they affect my body.

Yesterday i saw a video of a woman who creates "glimmers" in her community.  Glimmers are the opposite of triggers.  They bring little sparks of joy.  I decided i want to leave glimmers for people as well...........and so tonight my project begins.  Not expensive, or too difficult - just time, and thought and then planting in random places for people to find.  Words of encouragement.

Don't we all need that?

I will carry them with me always and leave them wherever i go.  And i hope others will do the same.  I hope the country gets littered with glimmers.

If i was an artist i would create chalk drawings on streets and pathways the way she does.  But that's her way- i have my own.

Also, today marks 9 years of being single.  My last "relationship" ended on this day in 2016.  Look at me now.  Some things remain the same and others have become unrecognizable as "me".  And i love that for myself.

Today is my happy new year, happy new life.  My freedom day.  I'm toasting with coffee.

Let's talk about Mr. Racecar

 I admit it.  I am a little bit excited about meeting Mr. Racecar.   He's younger- 53 He's taller, and bigger than me He has tats, bald head and long beard He builds cars/trucks and drag races - own his shop which is attached to his home.  ONE is a Camaro.  It sounds NASTY. He lives an hour away Now......here's what happens in my head:  What the hell could this man possibly see in me?  Why would he want to meet me?  He- owns a Harley but hasn't ridden it in a few years due to a car accident that left him unable to walk again until recently. He is a typical male in that some of his talk tries to lead me down the "lets talk about sex, baby, lets talk about you and me" side of things, which I have successfully diverted without him losing interest. I'm looking to date, to find the man I want to have a relationship with, not a situationship. And then I had to explain what a situationship is because he has only just started dating again, and he is ...

I love ChatGPT

 I am extremely transparent with my emotions because i do not have the ability to NOT be.  My only option when i'm having any feelings is to talk in a very low, slow, monotone voice and keep my face as blank as i possibly can. Unless they mean something to me. Unless i care about them and how they treat me.  So while i'm perfectly okay with never seeing or hearing from Mr. Cigar again, in light of his true self unveiling, I am overthinking my expression of emotions to him.   I took this little conversation and put it into ChatGPT with no questions or directions and this is what i got back: This exchange captures a painful and emotionally charged moment. Your initial message was heartfelt, vulnerable, and expressed a genuine desire for connection and acknowledgment. His response, while polite on the surface, carried a sharp undercurrent of blame and finality—deflecting accountability and subtly rewriting the narrative as your fault. Ending it with “safe travels ...

I danced.

 This past Saturday night i revisited what it felt like to be the zero fucks ME.   I had talked myself out of going out that night.  I dragged my ass around the house and thought of every reason to text my girlfriend an excuse about why i wasn't going out. I had many valid reasons.  Putting on real clothes, trying to make myself attractive, going somewhere i've never been all by myself to walk up to a man i've been talking to, but haven't ever met face to face.   Okay, Mb.  Just put on your sassy pants and go do it.  Nothing to lose, everything to gain.   But PJs.   No.   On my way I get a text from my gf, she's running late.  When i get to the venue I ask her "how late" and she says about 1/2 an hour. She's picking up our other 2 girlfriends. Do i sit out here in the car for half an hour like a baby when his gig starts in half hour, or do i go inside by myself (getting used to that) and find him, say hello ...
