AHHHHHHH!
I think that I am falling in love with [redacted]. Or I am in love with him. Whatever is going on... it's terrifying! The journey of this kind of LOVE is so intense! There are so many feelings! & Pain! I am scared! I am scared because I Love him & I care for him and I never want anything bad to happen to him!!! & it's so scary to be entering something like this @ the beginning of a year that's going to bring so much change! Why are we being given this kind of connection NOW????? Kind of Fucked up of the Universe. So fucked up.

the grass sprinkled with dew
the chatter of birds amongst the trees
the soft, golden light of the sun
and I, in solitude
hours spent inventing myself
or trying to figure out if my "self" is already fully formed;
Am I somewhere underneath
Or is it up to me
All I know for certain
Is that whatever I am
I'm the same as the trees
the earth
the wind
I sit with that divine truth
and know that it is enough

...to sit there wasting away day after day. I want a relationship with the morning sun outside of merely shielding it from my eyes while I drive my big expensive carbon-mobile to work through gridlocked city traffic. I want music, light, warmth, peach, love, & to feel like my own two feet are on the ground & that I'm connected to the skin & bones of it all. I want to feel like myself again because I love her and I miss her. I see her in glimmers throughout the day but I want to be walking hand in hand with her again. I want the answers for how to get better but when I ask all I get in return is a haze of grey ambiguity veiling over my searching eyes. I am stuck and can't find the way out. What is it? Where is it? Who is it? When is it? Can somebody tell me? I don't think so, & I think that's the point.

It can suck the life out ofyou
The screen of doom
The multiple screens
God forbid you don't buy the blue light
Say Farewell to your eyes and Welcome to migraines.
The back and forth communication
It's called being the middle man
Is that how it feels to be a middle child?
Overlooked, underappreciated
Like they're never doing enough?
It's true - you work to live
But you also live to pay taxes and
be told what to do with your body.
What you call it and how you dress it
But not how you feed it with fertilizer
Pesticides, poison
God Forbid you use the natural remedies
that grow from the ground we walk on.
Why is it so draining?
How did he do this for 45 years?
Why am I crying at my desk?
Why can't I leave?
Why do I feel so trapped?
Is this what my kids will experience?
What will it be like then?
What will their salary need to be to support low-income housing?
How do you ask for help?
What is the help?
Did I do a good job?
Redealing the cards I was dealt?
You should be grateful.
Grateful for the roof, the food
The credit cards with thousands on them
The education you didn't want
The job that sucks the life out of you
For the screens.
The big screens.
The screens everywhere.
Ruining the one thing that was once perfect.
My eyes.

For a Dollar

What do I do when there's still 2 hours left?
Sitting, aching, staring
PICKING. pick, pick, pick.
I'm contemplating, overthinking at times
Craving, filing, sipping
PICKING AGAIN. pick pick pick.
And then suddenly
I'm heading north
The sun's already been in the west
and there's only 2 hours left.
Where did the time go?
My time. My valuable time.
I surrendered it for a dollar.
More than a dollar,
A few dollars.
Within 2 hours
My dollars are gone and so is my time
Suddenly I'm driving south, again
While the sun has been in the east
but not for long
And I'm counting down the hours
While I continue yesterday's picking
Pick. Pick. Pick. Pick. Pickkkkk.
All for a couple dollars
that take 2 hours to go by in 2 hours.

the wet street on this winter morning
holds an ocean of light
and all over campus the students carry their coats
in thin arms bent like wings
and one boy walks past
holding a bouquet of flowers
in such bright pinks and greens
they don't even look real
I carry the full enormous weight
of joy for the first time
and gloves in my pockets
and the sense the sky is no longer a cavern
that could cave in or a bowl
for god to eat the hot stew
he has made of the world
the telephone poles carry only their power
and no more posters for missing cats
the staples tarnished black and bare
and the snow melt that flows down the sidewalk
carries the good dirt in it
and you should not drink it but oh
what would happen if you could

I still feel your presence. I picked up your ashes today. Peakins is protecting them.
I miss you, Mom.
I saw Weird Al in concert the other day and I laughed so much... I thought about all the times we listened to his cassette tapes together.
I'm really enjoying your essays and journal entries.
Thank you SO MUCH for writing so much. Reading your words makes me feel close to you.
I am grateful we got you back from that HCA nightmare and got to spend those last several days with you.
I am so grateful that I trusted you and confided in you. You. made me feel seen and loved and you were so helpful.
And I'm so glad you confided in me. I so dearly enjoyed our conversations about boundaries, stoicism, and how to protect our fragile emotions from narcissistic blowhards.
10/3/2025
It's really hard to move forward. I'm so tired. I miss you so much. For sure you'd tell me I'm being too hard on myself. All my friends do. I'm wearing your thumbprint necklace. Your advice to me is engraved: "Oh, stop being so serious!"
[Redacted] has been great, I'm relying on her a lot, but we're both struggling. My other friends keep offering to help but I often don't know what to ask for. I'm trying though, [Redacted] came over and helped with laundry.
[Redacted] is coming over next week. [Redacted] offered me groceries. [Redacted] games with me.
It's a start. I wish you had accepted help more.
I will remember that.
I will ask for help. I love you , Mom. I think about you everyday.
10/6/2025
I'm at the bank tying up some of your loose ends. It's sad...so...corporate. But I am amused when I think of how similar we are with clerical tasks. They're unpleasant and boring, aren't they. I miss your socially awkward commentary. What I would give to hear you blurt out your thoughts. On second thought, I can hear them. You make me smile. It feels comforting to hold this binder again.

Losing Mom: You Can Rest Now

Shortly after I returned from Spain, I handed Mom my booklet of watercolor paintings. She said "I'd really like to study these," which made me chuckle at the time because many of my sketches were quite absurd, she thought everything I did was so meaningful.
She asks so earnestly.
She didn't always understand her kids, but she really tried.
That was two weeks ago.
I know you may not feel like this is a beautiful moment, but please let me study you. This may be the last night I have with my living, breathing Mom. Every moment your eyes meet mine is precious to me. You cannot speak to me anymore, but your face has always said plenty. I'm listening. And just in case you hear me, I'll tell you over and over.
I love you. I'm proud of you. I cherish the time I spent with you. All is forgiven. You did so much for me. You lit up so many worlds with your intense curiosity and passion.
I am here. I will take care of you and keep you company until the bitter end.
You did it, Mom. You united your family and they all love you.
You can rest now.

She said all the time how grateful she was for the time she got with us. How proud she is.
There's always something more we could have done,
but she was happy.
And we told her all the time how much we loved her.
And how proud we are of how much she's grown.
We really got to know each other, and ACCEPT each other.
I came to understand her likes, dislikes, needs, feelings, joys, and
ideas so deeply. I could calm her down, hype her up, and
solve any problem for her. It was so rewarding.
I am a helper. And she was my favorite person to help.
THANK YOU FOR
Teaching me to ride a bike, walking with me, taking interest in my hobbies.
Learning and embracing our sibling culture – Abu!
Encouraging me that I would find love and friends… I did.
Warming up robes in the dryer when we played in the snow.
Getting me a paper route, going biking with me, teaching me etiquette,
getting to know my friends... Being weird and intense and
encouraging me to be weird and intense.
Buying me a sword after I got rejected… Throwing a melon
so I could chop it like an anime character.
Watching Totoro with me. Taking care of me when I was sick.
Playing my favorite songs on the piano.
Letting me punch bread when we were kneading it.
Thank you for coming to see me defend my dissertation and for telling me how proud you were.

Nobody knows what to do, you just have what's in your heart. We all do the best we can.
I don't know what to do. But I want to be next to you. I'm here. I love you.
I'll never get to ask her if I did a good job. Did I make her feel safe and loved? I will never know.
Her breathing is getting shallowed. her voice is barely a whisper, her mouth can't form words. I'm losing her, and there is nothing I can do to stop it or bring her back.
I'm not ready to lose you. I still have questions. I miss you. I want to know your opinions. I want you to witness my milestones. But you were there when I learned music, when I got married, when I got my PhD, when I cried over break-ups, and when I was WEIRD.
You saw me. You loved me. I see you. I love you. I know you're ready to go. I accept that. I'll. be okay. You raised strong kids.

Her last meal at the table
"Aren't you hungry, Sher?"
"Biscuits and gravy, Mom! They have all the calories!"
"Mmm. It's good"
"And a truffle for dessert!"

"Ohhh..."
I carried her to her last shower and I brushed her teeth and hair. She was always fastidious about hygiene and I know the residue on her teeth was bugging her.
She dropped the brush but still tried to run it through her hair. Her arm didn't reach the scalp.

Why do people fucking kill in your name? Why do people hurt, steal, maim in your name? Blood on the hands of a nation, the world - your followers, pricks all, leeches sucking the lifeblood out of the earth, leaving it a rotting, moldy, crusty piece of shit to laugh at, to cry about. What kind of miserable son of a bitch are you anyway?

Sour Feeling

A lot of self-realization happened yesterday. Like a lot of it.
I still always come home with a sour feeling in my throat and a tightened chest every time we have a family gathering. I always act like a kid with kids & you know when they grow up & you’re still acting like them, that really is super, like extremely weird & immature in fact.
What do I do? What can I do to not feel like this every single time?
It’s so annoying and repetitive, I hate it, I absolutely hate it.
