      • I did! Not my typical piece.

      • You aren’t you on meds. Nobody is. Some have no choice. I get that. But I don’t understand living in the most medicated country on the face of the earth.

        I hope you find power in your battle 🌼

      • No, meds only confused me. Not taking any psych meds right now. I have to have control of my inner demons on my own. This was one of the last I wrote near the beginning of year. Before radiation and surgery. When I was thinking of just ignoring the doctors completely. Which I didn’t. I even broke free of caffeine. Off it completely.

        • People are amazing. Especially when we amaze ourselves. Caffine, you didn”t just kick the craving, you kicked the habit of having it. We don’t think we’re strong until after the work and pain of seeing something through. Caffiene and meds – you’ve got grit.

          Good on you! 🌼

      • Sometimes all we can do is write about it and let it come out as it will. What you said here was so relatable to what it can feel like when you really want to write it out but are also still dealing with whatever is going on.

      • Powerfully penned, Paula. Incredible write my friend. Appreciate you.

      • I agree to try to go without psych meds and using the arts and writing to be therapeutic. Me personally, there’s some I need. Writing will always be my number one therapy too. Keep strong, girl. Your therapeutic writing is paying off, I love it!

      Keep An Eye On That Boy!

      My great grandmother lived to be ninety-six years old. She lived through both world wars and the Great Depression. She passed in 1986, I believe. We visited her every Sunday without fail.  From the time I was born till I...

      • Well, that was an event, and I think you still did not pass that bulb since you still light up my friend. Enjoyed this piece. Oh, I do not like tomatoed based baked beans either. lol

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you connected with the story my friend. Well, thank you! What a thoughtful compliment, cuz. I like baked beans either way, but I do think it’s better without a tomato base. Appreciate you.

      • I enjoyed this from beginning to end. I’d say your grandmother is still keeping an eye on you, my friend. She must know something…

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you enjoyed the story my friend. Maybe someday I’ll know for sure. Appreciate you.

      • Some of the best writing you have ever shared with us. Sensational and held my interest. Nice work Damian.

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you enjoyed the story my friend. Well, guess that means I’m getting better at this gig. Appreciate you.

      • I thoroughly enjoyed this story, Damian. I love the simplistic history that makes us all humans deep down, no matter if we try to hide it.
        I have very vivid memories of one of my grannies. She was a tiny firecracker. Snap a chicken’s neck and yet tend to our little boo-boos with TLC with the same hand.
        Burger Chef rocked!
        Wonderfully vivid write, it kept me enthralled.

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mark. So glad you enjoyed the story my friend. Cool, somebody remembers Burger Chef. lol. It is the simple things in our histories, that really show our similarities as human beings, couldn’t agree with you more. Grannies, are just different, in a good way. Appreciate you.
