One year older
So with my year survival anniversary coming up, my parents have been asking what I want. And now ot os time to indulge in my self pity. I want to have what I had, but that is not possible. I want to be free, but I cannot stand on my own two legs and pursue my dream. I want to see my cat daughter and son again, I miss them dearly. I wish I didn't have to be strong anymore, it is very tiring. But there is work to be done, and no one else seems to be willing to do it. I know my cat children are in good hands. I choose this living situation so as to focus my energies elsewhere (and the housing market here is insane). And what I had can never be, we have both changed too much. Eventually companions leave, and their void can never be filled. So I shall simply take a breath, and keep one foot in front of the other. Stay cool out there, Mouse 🐁

Well, I survived
Part of me still wishes this to be all a terrible dream. I hope other universe me is enjoying what I cannot. Not gonna lie today was a more sad day than most, but I expected as much. But you know what, that is okay. That is life and I now know I am strong enough to survive but kind enough to give... read more

Didn't cry this time
Once again you appeared randomly in the skirting boards of my life. But I have healed enough to keep moving past. To be fair I was more concerned about being hack when I found an unknown folder on my desktop. No it was just the cloud trying to do it's task. I put you in the recycling as I assume... read more

To the coming year
Well, I have officially finished my 27th tour of this world and have begun my 28th. It is funny as a child I would be somewhat ecstatic (well most of my friends would be out of town so they have always been on the lonelier side, (thought there was a couple years but those days are long gone, and... read more

Definitely belongs here
As summer has truly started, I can say for certain. It is hot. Yes, yes, I know. "You think this is hot" blah blah. I am not here to expose my pain, I am just stating that the heat of summer has come upon us, and people dress lighter to keep cool. And in this I remember and miss (just a bit, but...

I guess this is a longer road than expected
Am I gaslighting myself? It feels like either answer is wrong and I am stupid for feeling such. Was I such and am such a monster that I call you the trauma. I know I have cause such things, but did you do the same to me? I don't know, I can't remember. I mean looking back, things look funny,... read more

These will never have an answer
But I still have to ask. Why? Why wasn't I enough? Did I just drag you along? Were you ever happy? Are you happy now? Was I not enough or was I too much? Why did you play content for so long if you knew what you wanted? When did you stop loving me? Did you ever love me? Or did I force this... read more

Sorry for the scars
I will never be able to say this to you in person again, so i will leave this here. I am still sorry for what I asked, but I do appreciate what you did for me back then. It meant a lot and I really appreciated them. I know that won't give you back anything, but maybe knowing how much it was... read more

The Worst of many worlds
After some hard(ish) work today, and some harder conversations I came to a couple realizations. I am a Lennie small from "of mice and men". Now granted I differ from lennie in self awareness, but I am unsure if that is a blessing or a curse. A blessing for I have the awareness to get better. A... read more

Do I need someone?
No, the answer is no. I can safely say I have set my roots and found a path I want to scurry. Now I maybe tentative at times and unsure of my next step, but I can figure it out. I can stand on my own 2 feet/4 paws, and I will make the distance. I worked hard to get here, and it was also helped... read more

Grief: part again
I feel torn again, but by two opposing sides enjoyment and sorrow. My mind bounces like a bouncy ball, but that is okay because I let it. The though of seeing you again makes me expirance the gambit. It is something I long deeply for, but I can't remember your face quickly. I remember your nose and... read more

More little things
Yes still fine. I miss sending cat videos to a cat I loved. I miss wiggling at you. I miss being wiggled at. I miss how oddly dense you where when you laid on top of me. I miss your snarls when the computure was acting up. I miss hearing you talk about paint and frit. I miss you bewildered face... read more

How dare you
Yes still fine. I gave you your last wish, I continue to give you what you wanted. Even in exile I try to do right by you. And what is the thanks I get? Hmm? You disrespect my wish and I am to let it go? You never wanted to see me again, and of you I asked the same and here you are in my dreams.... read more

Is the world fast or am I just slow again? 🐌
It started with music, it seemed a little more up tempo than I remember. And the clock tickes a little faster than I remember. Am I in molasses and just unaware?

One of the little things
Yes I am okay, just tired from a hard day of work. But I decided to share one of the little things I miss from my previous relationship. On days like this where every muscle in my body aches in pain, I loved to face plant and burry my face in my ex. Like a dog trying to pet itself on you I would... read more

The mouse and goose
Upon the fields oneday a mouse was taking a walk, the mouse had been feeling good and looking for others to take a walk with. Spring was in the air and the showers came and went, as the mouse frolicked in the fields. As the walked continues the mouse started to get thirsty and decided to stop at a... read more

Will I?
Yes I am fine, just taking a changed perspective in the first time in a long time, and I have a couple bees to shake out. It is okay to want to be wanted, the same way I want another. But in this i must be patient with this desire. And while my heart my pines and I feel a little chilled and the... read more

Sometimes I wish I had something to say
I feel like a broken record, how did Buddha do this. I want to tear my hair out if I wasn't trying to keep what I had left. I feel torn in twine but poetry Is for suckers. I think too much but never about the right thing. I try to take it on the chin but it hurts so I try and dodge the buck. I wish... read more

Grief is complicated
First off, yes I am okay. I am so okay in fact that I feel comfortable letting my being sit down and assess the situation. I am emptying the water tank of emotion after a day of rain. It's not the same without them, and still I wish it was a dream. But why would it be, when you care for someone so... read more

I should clarify
Since this has happened a few times now, I just want to say I am in a good place. I thank everyone for their kind words and attempts to console me but I should clarify. Ever since entering the age of hands (tldr; I wish to lead/teach by example more than thought or word) which I will admit is not a... read more

An ugly duckling, but my ugly duckling
I will start off by trying my best to not get on a soap box nor preach to the cinderblocks. As some may have seen I had a sort of breakthrough/breakdown as to why my previous relationship ended. And throwing my self in the dating pool again I am constantly reminded of who I am. Be it physically... read more

It is always at night
That is where I miss you most, granted these memories are becoming obscured and more distant as I row on this pass of life. Perhaps it is when the sun too rests her head and when the stars are given their time to shine. When the cold mist seeps into your bones to steal your warmth as much as you... read more

One month
It has been a whole month, a whole month has past since we were together. It feels both like a lifetime and just yesterday. Of course I still miss you, it is hard to love some one for 10 years and go through what we did and not grow some kind of attachment. I wonder if you miss me too... but I know... read more

Well today was interesting
So the one month single is coming to an end on the 22nd. I feel pretty good most days but do find myself wistfully thinking.

I have furthered my understanding
So being who I am, I find it hard to explain what I am feeling and doing to myself. I will often be walking down a proverbial path and find my self adrift back to my original destination. Anyway I want to keep this one shorter... good luck me. Anyway, after the ending of my last relationship I was... read more

The hardest person to be patient with
That person is yourself. I know it is important to keep moving, but I would say that it is also important to grieve. You are allowed to cry, and it will get hard. Really hard, too hard to bare it may seem. The weight of all your thoughts and emotions weighing you down like mountains on your... read more

I know we can't stay together
I know that our love is incompatible and it was out of sheer stubbornness we stayed together for so long. I still wished we could have been friends. But I understand, I hurt you, intentionally or not. So the last gift I can give is your space. I wish you all the best, and thank you for all you have... read more

Well, for some reason Mondays always seem to begin the cycle of emotion again. This despite actually liking work because it gives me a little break from my thoughts and feeling. I mean this as in it gives me something else to focus on. Kinda like dropping a toddler at the grandparents. I have... read more
