how are we?

how is everyone doing? what’s on your mind? i am thinking of weed and tears dry on their own...amy’s live ‘off collection’ performance is my favorite rendition of the song..i am bored thinking of what next to draw..and you?

Unnervingly calm...not the kind of calm you seek, but more the "calm before the storm," the calm before calamity -- like if I even entertained the notion to undertake something I'd be quickly overtaken, swallowed.

Have you heard Pete Doherty's touching elegy to Amy Winehouse, "Flags of the Old Regime?" Have you hit on what to draw next?

Well, I'm just so easily overwhelmed 🙀 I've been trying to write a letter to a fairly new friend, but my OCD brain keeps getting in the way, and I fear another budding friendship will wilt because of a communication breakdown. I'm basically a shut-in and very lonely, but I struggle with online friendships because writing, for me, is such a slow, exacting process (instant messaging with me is almost never instant 😸), I fear people think I'm ignoring them when I just often have trouble organizing my thoughts and words.

ohh i’m sorry to hear that i understand being easily overwhelmed 🥺 i’m sure that the friendship with go miles ahead! sometimes i think we overthink and imagine the worst but keep the faith i’m sure people don’t think that! it might even help if you explain that because i think you make a hell of a friend and i’m sure anyone would understand and accept that!

Thank you for your understanding and vote of confidence 😺 I think you're right...I will try to be clearer about my limitations and hope for the best. You've been so kind to me and it's a pleasure to get to know you!😺

I just cruising through the day. Today it’s lovely here in the SF Bay area. I went out to lunch with a friend and had a lovely one on one conversation. I’m back at home just shooting the breeze.

All calm. Full steady ahead. ❤️

[torpe in reply to LiveandLetLive42]

I started working out, which has been helping. It's been good to get the body moving! Of course I want immediate results though lol. I want to feel GREAT and have all this energy. But, I know it will take some time. Thanks for your response <3
