You are one of the most beautiful writers and I love how you manage to weave in personal stories and political stances so beautifully. If people get frustrated thinking they're going to read about Neil Armstrong or eagle chicks and then they learn something about how fucked up the current government is, then they have the option of stopping mid-article...or has that never occurred to people? Anyway, you're definitely one of my internet Pepsi-milk people so thank you for everything you write šŸ§”

Also, this one sentence "people do what they want to do" has become my motto these days cause I'm getting so tired of bashing my head against a wall.

Thank you so much, Sonbol, I appreciate your comments, they went right to my heart. And yeah, there are some strange things that happen on the internet, arenā€™t there? šŸ˜³How about the people who announce theyā€™re unfollowing on social media? Likeā€¦you can just go, itā€™s fine lol. Ah, people. On my good days I can laugh or feel concern, like I would for a friend of one of my kids. You know? That, bless their heart kind of feeling. But on hard days itā€™s more like, oh fuck right off šŸ˜‚šŸ«¢ And then I worry about them later.

And yes, it really does help to keep things simple when it comes to people. For the most part, they will do what they want to do (my phone was filling in words/predicting what I was going to write and it filled in ā€œdonate beansā€ - apparently left to their own devices, my device thinks people will donate beans, Sonbol). I know when Iā€™m spending too much time explaining things away or making up reasons things are happening the way they are, itā€™s gotten too complicated. Too complicated for me, anyway, and certainly for right now. I need some things to be easy. Just a few. Sending you a ton of love ā™„ļø

I snort/laughed about people donating beans and woke up my dog šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

Iā€™m sorry your dog woke up, but maybe we should start donating beans. Maybe thatā€™s the key to everything. Itā€™s worth a shot. šŸ«˜šŸ«›šŸ«˜šŸ˜‚
