I have been known…a time or 2…to go chasing. But generally, I stick to the porch with an unobstructed path to shelter at my back. Been in the tornado belt too long to not respect them. In this case, it chased us. First we knew was the sound of what seemed to be an airplane through the living room, followed by huge crashes. When I say we had a tree all over our yard, parts were in the front, parts along the side & part was in back. Big house, lots of ground to cover. We were very lucky. Thank you for stopping by

It was a wild time. Crazy intense. Enough so that my 35 yr old daughter came downstairs looking for her mommy. Some people still have no power. I love storm watching. This was bigger than that. We were super lucky, my friend

We get the occasional blizzard too. Though nothing like you northerners get. Mostly we get icicles on our ass, & wild thunderstorms. They’re speculating we caught the trailing edge of a tornado this time. Lucky, we were very lucky. Thanks girl

Life…so many questions! Are we “living” in a simulation? Not real at all, but a “player” or side character in a futuristic game based on 2025. Another theory is the multiverse. I drowned as a little girl. They revived me and I lived on. But in another realm did I die and just shift to continue on? Are any of us real?

Well I can’t say I relate exactly because I’ve always enjoyed more alone time than the average person, but there’s definitely a point where it isn’t what you want or need anymore. There is some value in learning to be by yourself but it’s still not always fun. I liked the repetition, really helped drive the point home.

Great write Daniel
I’m alone most of the time but seldom lonely.Lots of people fill their days but are still incredibly lonely.You can’t run from loneliness so best bet is just to make friends with it…works for me.
I guess loneliness is different for everyone. -

Powerfully penned, Daniel. I can relate to this write my friend. I like being alone at times, but I’ve went spans without interaction when on a drinking bender, I started to unravel a little. It was a deep rabbit hole. Excellent work. Appreciate you.

When we’re linked to the moon’s tides…it can get overwhelming. I’m a full-on moon child myself, I get it

I loved how visual this was, but also in a very subtle way. I could see the sort of waxing and waning pattern but at the same time we weren’t talking about a literal moon, so it was a weird kind of take this very visual thing and make it into a feeling. And then it’s all wrapped up in really beautiful language.

The other morning, I was in a very sexual dream. it was intense! And then my alarm went off and scared the absolute hell outta me. Talk about a rip-off!
Your words reminded me of my own misfortune. LOL
I hope that there is success from your dilemma soon!-

I was looking out the window at the moon and my mind just went with it. Thank you, Styxian ;))

I love watching a good storm roll in but I have never fully subscribed to the “go try and spot the tornado” mentality. I have too much respect for those storms to want to watch that happen in real time. I’ll settle for seeing that through my cameras.
Right before a thunderstorm starts though and the wind is picking up. That’s ideal to stand in the middle of.
