I haven’t read something that made me feel, “Wow, I feel EXACTLY like this to someone right now, nothing good could come of it, I don’t understand why I’d even draw them to me, I’ve nothing to offer, just darkness, and they’re made of light, so I’d blot them out.” This was like reading the words of my own heart, like, why, my friend, when you’re so, sooo high above me in every way would you ever want to drown in my bipolar type ii complex PTSD pit of despair! Don’t want me out of pity, you’ll regret it, and how will you ever find the Mr. Right you so deserve when you’re spending all your time and energy on the Mr. Wrong that I am?? Oh, gosh, did this ever hit me right in my chest… an amazing write, Crimsin. I feel like you snuck up to my metaphorical house and peeked in the window and saw EVERYTHING that is going on!! Crazy, but in the best sort of way!!!

It was definitely my gain, it made me feel understood when since I’ve been back in Canada from Polska, and before that Ukrayina, I’ve felt the very antithesis of understood. I would never wish ill (of course!!) on anyone, but if it is any consolation, your pain became my gain. My friend and I wrote a joint-poem considering things back and forth and forth and back. I’m meeting her in Halifax on Friday for a week, so I guess maybe we’ll see or maybe it will go back to this ball of confusion by the 24th again. Thank you for you good wishes for me, for us. I’m glad you don’t mind me spilling me guts on your poem, but it just engaged me emotionally SO much my filter and and any shyness just melted clean away off of me, you know? I’m so glad you commented on my poem today, and accepted my friend’s request, too. Yesterday and tomorrow are anniversaries most grim, but you made today a good day sandwiched between them, thank you, you are a gem to me.

Absorbing the Cost…
when the choice is required
and compromise is not an option
do you choose to soothe your own pain?
or that of others? -

“takes more ink…
than currently in possession”
I have been feeling this a lot lately.

I think it goes back to the weight of the world these days. It takes so much energy to just survive…not a lot pouring into our cups. Thank you, Fia 😊

Feels like poetic intermission… a mist of words floating about
I like the mood this invokes-

Life is…a lot…these days. Intermission would be great, but who’s got the time? Thank you, Naaj 😊

Powerfully penned, Willow. Excellent write that I can definitely relate to my friend. Inspiration is sometimes a bit of a process indeed. Chasing thoughts and having them slip away can be so frustrating. The life of a writer is kinda quirky when you think about it. Nicely done as always. Appreciate you.

The more we have on our the mind, the more jumbled it is up there. So polluted the words can’t find the exit. So they float around like wraiths on a stormy night. I’ll get my rhythm again. Just need a breather. Thank you, my friend 😊

Read Morethey used to tell me it looks like I'm hunting trouble leaving them thinking I enjoy the drama I get it... I do I can see how it might seem that way to you but that's not it I'm not chasing more of the same same shit...

I have sat down with my own monster and sometimes its peaceful then other times… I have learned in my silence. I relax

Silence is key. Sitting in the stillness to understand their contours, pitfalls and safe landings. Sometimes it is a lot easier than others, for sure. Thank you, Fia 😊

Yes, experience speaks to us bold and clear. It’s just a shame it takes so long to hear it sometimes while we sit in a pool of unhappiness and pain.

I think there are times we don’t want to hear. And others we struggle to make out the message. Would be a lot easier if life came with a map and instructions. But how would we really learn then? Thank you, Tim 😊

Willow this is excellent and honest.
It’s taken me many years and several depressive episodes to realise the folly of running from suffering.Its painful to sit wth suffering but you can’t drink it away, drug it away,travel it away or fuck it away….only thing is to acknowledge it and understand it exists in the mind only.
Thanks for making me think.

Ahh but that’s the tricky bit, isn’t it? It’s all in the mind – but the mind is the strongest organ. Amazing to me that we learn at all sometimes. If one can make peace with stillness (not as easy as it seems), it gets easier. Thank you, Peter 😊

Powerfully penned, Willow. Into the book it belongs! This excellent write has depth and insight into your authentic philosophy of life my friend. Your words pierce like needles and then their meaning sinks in. Learning from mistakes equals wisdom. I can relate to this write on so many levels. Amazing work as always. Appreciate you.

A friend of mine once said “It’s okay to sit with your darkness. It’s healthy to do so. Just don’t make a home there.” That struck a chord in me and ive tried to move with that philosophy ever since. We’re taught to suck it up, walk it off, smile, let it go. But we’re not taught how. Seems rather short-sighted. But that’s society for you. Thank you, my friend 😊

I try. After this many years, they’re a smidgen easier to navigate. Life still throws an unseen curve from time to time. But then it’s time to sit down and map it out for the catalog. Thank you, Brenda 🧡

Initially I get the feeling of a horror movie, as though Vincent Price were inviting us into his own darkness. By the end though it feels more hellish. More sinister, and more serious. This is a dark one Crimsin.
