For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.

I do know this ..I get it.. However many of us, if not most of us carry on as if it isn’t true....,but nothing other people do has anything to do with us. Everyone lives in their own dream, and in their own mind. They are probably in a completely different world from the one you live in. And there really isn’t anything wrong with this... except taking things personally is something that the majority of us seem predisposed to do. And it’s not ever really personal... sure it feels like it, oh boy does it ever feel like it, but it is truly to do with whoever is “throwing the shade.”

Pork Chop
I moved to San Francisco (actually Berkeley, across the bay, but I often joked that I was homeless in the city with a bed across the bay) when I turned 19, August of 2015, after a brief and failed stunt at a four year university in Northern California. I enrolled in the local community college and got a job at a large retailer in the heart of Union Square, Zara, which owned by #6 on Forbes' Billionaires 2020 list, was notably one of the worst places to work, some of the reasons why will be later documented but can also be highlighted by a coworker getting fired for stealing toilet paper within my first few days. Imagine where a bathroom with a constant supply of some fifty or so toilet paper rolls, could not spare but just a few rolls of that sickly single ply that would fall apart in one's hands and leave one chaffed - could that also say something about the pay, or even how they treat their employees? Regardless of the toilet paper, the pork chop incident actually occurred while waiting for a new friend, a coworker, to clock out.

A Western Christmas
“Once a year, they gathered with gifts for one another in celebration of the Christian story where the divine and sacred enters the mortal realm in the form of a baby; pure, innocent, human. But this tradition was to take on a vastly different setting from its Judean origin – one that adopted a Sami romance and told the story of Elves making presents and an Elder who would deliver those gifts to children, travelling from house to house with his flying Reindeer. This was a bright and colourful scene with deeply rooted undertones of darkness, tragedy, the oppression and exploitation under a great empire.”

Letters to Brighid
I’m having a morning, I woke up from a dream about Vernon again and it brought tears to my eyes. Lets be real I was sobbing. I put on some fun movie and am getting my day started early. I have a lot to do and it can’t hurt to get it all done asap.

Why?
Why? It is a question we ask ourselves almost daily. If not multiple times a day. We the ones who have been cast to the side ask it to ourselves almost as if on repeat. Never really getting an answer to what we do so need to get answered. So we can feel normal again. No, we are left to try and answer this why question on our own.
