Just Fine
In the midst of the moment it may all seem fine Until you silence your mind & go back to that time and then you realize It wasn’t all that fine

The sweet embrace of familiarity The taste of freedom The sight of paradise all imprinted in a distant memory of when life was actually memorable

The time to think
I'd have to say the time to think, is between, 5-9 'o' clock in the morning. For me, that's my, "thinking time." I start out with scrolling through my Ko-fi account, looking to see if I have, any new, subscribers. Anyone, who cares about, "What I'm doing..." Hopefully, knowing, that "I'm not in it for the money, but, doing it for a living."

I am just like you
I am this person. This, empty, thing. I am broken. And then, I'm whole again! I am human, right? I am just like you. I am experienced at, fucking up my life, and repairing it, again too. I have made grievous errors, in judgment and I have walked the walk of shame. I have slept with a, 'one-day-stand', if you can believe it, or not, and have experienced, the disappointment of horrible sex... and pain.
