Everything has been at a loss for so long. I guess some people are genuinely scared of writing, sort of like how I am genuinely scared of trying new things before I&#8217;m ready to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I love writing. It&#8217;s such a rich medium. &amp;&amp; I&#8217;m learning some foreign languages (mostly French), and learning new American English vocab words, so hopefully my ability to express myself naturally improves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m glad interesting people still exist, too. There were some folks in the neighborhood I heard, and there was some like, I think they know me or at least know of me, and I was listening to them sort of drink whiskey and enjoy some weed (is there any dignified term for that drug?), slowly. And it was slow, and nice. And I felt involved, even though I was just at my desk in my room (is it immature to have a &#8220;my room&#8221;?), and it was a shared moment, despite the separation. We were &#8220;on the same wavelength&#8221;&#8211;and they were sort of shadowy, so I don&#8217;t even know if they were hallucinations or not. I have a mental illness so either thing is completely possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NEWEIGH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What do you think?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m trying to be better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taste better(?).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don&#8217;t really know what any of this means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it&#8217;s decent to sort of, have comfort. Comfort is super-important. Adventure is also very important. I need both of these things just a tad more, to put it bluntly, in my life, to have a fulfilling remainder of my late 30s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Age is such an illusory concept, too. You feel young, you are old&#8211;you are young, you feel old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks for reading.<\/p>\n<div class=\"synved-social-container synved-social-container-follow\" style=\"text-align: left\"><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-follow synved-social-size-24
