Another weekend gone. I did a few sketches to take my mind off things. Jaxx had his last vet appointment on Saturday. He registered at 18-weeks old and 6.2 pounds. He received his final shot for the year. Everyone loves him. Daylight Saving Time ended yesterday. Gaining back the hour lost feels more like a…

It’s been a tough few days since Sunday riding the emotional ups and downs. The vibe at work is also off; people are going about their day, but there is this feeling of struggle. There’s a growing desire within me to run from the norm and create a new one so, I’m making plans for…

It is weird not having Sammy around, especially this morning as we had our daily routine. The events of my life over the past eighteen months have shown that I need to stop living by the standards of others. Death will show up without an appointment.

I’ve been given excuses, unpleasant surprises and contradictions. The money is not worth what I’m feeling right now.

This week’s routine is disjointed; stress and expectations throw things out of whack. I feel exhausted, but there is no time to sleep. Someone at work asked, “do you eat? I don’t see you eating.” This has become a recurring theme at every place I work. It’s weird to me the level of interest some…

It’s raining today; the weather forecast warns of flash flooding in the area. The gray skies were the mood theme for the past two weeks. My dreams lately are confusing and disturbing. Ric Flair is wrestling tonight, his last career match at 73. A possible shock and awe moment. The things we will do for…

The fireworks last night were less intrusive. My dog didn’t bark until my daughter arrived home after midnight. I don’t celebrate Independence Day for reasons that run deeply. I have been drawing a lot lately. Stress and bouts with depression are happening more frequently. I am waiting to hear back from a prospective employer with…

2020
A sudden fracture within the norm gave way to an unexpected tragedy. A single infection shut down the world. Despite the unprecedented events, we sought peace and equality. Our reality is now planted in a virtual world. A King showed us the meaning of strength and commitment; a loss we cannot recover. Politicians forsaking the…

Waning into the Night
It’s been a long time; people come and go with ease. With each new acquaintance, I find a piece of familiarity to the one no longer around. The world has become stale these days. I lost my best friend five years ago; I am still coping with the loss, hard to believe. Love slowly diminishes;…

Polluted
Our world is burning; the flames fanned by rhetoric. The old continues overshadowing the new. We’re exhausted from the cynicism. Campaigns of unkept promises. We want to retire the unchanged.

The Whether
I wonder whether the sun will shine again; these tinted days are affecting my mental state immensely—those hazy recollections, dusty specs on the glass window. I wonder whether I will change. Whether or not tomorrow will be the same as yesterday.

Passing Through
Our desires on the edge of perception, the fearless hide their inhibition. The tears fall unseen. The pain of redemption is so poignant; the push is inexplicable. Soon, these days will become forgotten, nothing more than a sensation in the back of our minds. Time is closing; it is dwindling in the blink of an…

Broken Foundation.
We saw your silhouette on the foggy horizon. You were lost, broken, and seeking acceptance. An emptiness filled by the opening of a kind domain. You were given a safe haven. However, points of view quickly became distorted. You decided to etch your unexpected displeasure on every surface. This beautiful place disgraced by the subtle…

Damaged
I’ve forgotten the words. Sunlight is fading so soon. Falling was impactful. More than I realized.

Destroyed
I remember the day, The words etched in stone. Breathe. I remember the quiet, The air remaining still. Breathe. I remember the moment, The calm before the storm.

Weathering
The day is more than eccentric. The pressure is more than barometric. The gravel beneath my feet. The pain is very deep. I do not want to walk alone.
