Who in my life decided that I should be watching "funny videos" for hours and hours? scrolling in search of the next good one... like a mindless browsing sifter... Maybe I'll stop altogether. Reclaim my life a little. No phones in certain places. Maybe my phone doesn't follow me around! Perhaps all day it's left on the shelf. Never got unplugged from the charger. It would require me giving up "funny videos". Admitting that I can't control it. Admitting that I am an addict. But no. I don't claim that label. I am only deficient in normal love and connection.

The wind gusts came through and tore the leaves off the oaks.

"The Earth will wear out like a garment, and its inhabitants likewise". This is a trite example of course. And I mean it's an average so it may be watered down by masses of bland spec houses. Plus, maybe it's become harder to paint a house (time, money, skills). View quoted note →
