sometimes to read a book of poetry is to be reminded that another person is much funnier and better at expressing their pain than you are

I live by one rule.
I don’t want people to lie at my funeral.
I watched family talk about my alcoholic abusive uncle like he wasn’t drunk at his daughter’s wedding and ruined her dress and arch and day literally pissing all over himself.
I don’t want people to have to omit who I am to mourn me.

It would seem that I’ve failed a lesson from the universe enough times that it’s sending me an unavoidable version. Or maybe I’ve learned the foundational concepts and I’ve been moved to an advanced class. Beat all the levels just to fight the final boss?

Leo: Haunted by the inability to feel at home, you will dig a hole and crawl inside. The earth will smell like someone you once loved.

A helpful PSA 🚨
There are good things happening all over the world.
There are people loving selflessly.
There are people stewarding the earth well.
There are people meeting tangible needs.
There are people creating beautiful things.

Shitty Character Idea:
A divination wizard who has seen visions about the fact that this is all a game, and they will sometimes mutter about “the crazy dice gods” when things go wrong. #DnD

Nothing I can say that other folks haven't said better. Choose a way you can do some tangible good and stick to it.

"What did PBS shows teach you?"
Mister Rogers taught us feelings are mentionable and manageable.
Reading Rainbow taught us discovering books is joy.
Sesame Street taught us learning through the kindness of community by way of our friends.
Bill Nye taught us to observe wonder through science.

I have been anxious for so long. It is like I am trying to break the world record for how long you can consecutively be anxious.
