[Blind stupid persistence.]

Aw, @Gordy, I am all for you doing and saying whatever serves you, but please know that I hope you’ll get to a place that you don’t need to call what you are doing blind or stupid.  Maybe brave and determined?  Resolved and courageous???  F-you and bad**s???

[Hmm]

Hang in there, @Gordy.  Lots of birds of that feather here, I think.  Sorry you are hurting, but glad that you are sharing.

[All right, FALL, bring it! Bring. It.]

How powerful and exciting that you are redefining this time of year!  Good job!

[Warning: Long, bumpy road ahead. Wear comfy sneakers!]

Congrats on a new blog post—you are reaching a ton of people this way.

[We Broke Up]

Aww, regrets and congrats.  It is always hard to end a connection and I am excited for you that it went in a way that you feel good about.

[Finally hit #50!]

There are these lovely blinds in Germany called “rolladen”—they’re metal blinds built in to the windows that can be lowered to just a series of holes to allow some slight light in, or closed completely for sheer and utter darkness, even on the brightest day.  Once when I lived there the phone rang in the other room, and I never found my way to the door to answer it!  Glorious.

I’m proud of you!  You’ll be a great advocate, and if the currents change along the way, you are resilient and flexible and you will adjust accordingly.  Your voice and experience are invaluable.

[So. Much. Anxiety.]

Aww @leosun I am so sorry you’re feeling so worried.  Even if you do miss the alarms and oversleep and miss the bus, YOU will still be valuable and capable and important.  I hope you’ve found a way to settle your nerves and rest.

I will be thinking of you.  Would you let me know next time you’re here?  I’m new and trying to find my way around—i would love to have a reply or a message from you!

[i just seen him...]

I’m new.  I’m learning from you.  Thank you for what you share.
