Thank you for putting words to our parallel journeys. You were right that the Brick doesn’t bring easy peace, but forces you to sit in your emotions. Weed gives me permission to feel awe and create, but I’m also terrified of inheriting my mother’s psychosis. Anyways, see you in Burlington!

“When there is nothing to think of, pain contemplates” that self destructive itch, the brain hurting itself just to know it’s alive

I’m sorry to leave unsolicited medical advice but as someone with carpal tunnel syndrome …. I think you have many symptoms of it 😦 it is nerve damage I fear but w/ accommodations (good ergonomics, physiotherapy, Chinese medicine) flare ups can be quite rare ❤️

I recently left my decent paying job for a job where most days I get to stand in the river. I also spend many nights worrying about money when in fact my favorite thing is sitting in the creek. I get paid to stand in the river but I still worry about money. Anyways, your writing is beautiful as always and never fails to make me feel less alone. See you in DC!!
