"I hit the walls so I don't hit you,"

I saw this post on a page I follow, and I fell down a rabbit hole of memories and regrets. Basically, in the post, the woman is thinking back to a time in her youth when she was briefly touched by a weird sort of violence that is all but ignored by most of society.

Goalposts.

 

I'ts been some time but for the most part, my life is settled. I'm over the issues from last post though it's kinda bittersweet - strangers with memories, or maybe just somebody that I used to know? I wish her well. 

Once and Again: So Long to an Old Friend.

Please bear with me as this is very, very long, and it's been a very long time coming. ..

A Brand New Day...

 

I meant to make this post yesterday, on the proper Solstice, but things happened and I kinda got waylaid.  Here's the total recall: 

[archived] Do NOT bother with Tangerine Bank...

Tangerine bank would't activate my account because the name needs to match exact on my tax return as on my photo ID but my photo ID has my middle name and my tax return only has my middle initial so they said I need to get the government to use the same exact name spelling for everything or they absolutely will not activate the account.

 I know, it seems like the only time I ever make a post is when I'm having some kind of breakdown, but honestly, that's when I've needed escape the most, so obviously that's when this little refuge hits so differently. I can't deny I've been super stressed out for about the past year, but legit - I'm still recovering from 2023, which I can honestly say nearly fucking broke me entirely. I've never in my life had so many things go so wrong and I've never wanted more to just dissolve into the floorboards and never exist again.
