    A Spring Haiku

    Thank you! It is a wonderful descriptive word. So much meaning in just three syllables...

    A Spring Haiku

    Thanks! It's one of my favourite words too.
  3. it smells like spring now midnight chill and petrichor carried on the wind
  4. I love seeing how Ronnie has to learn to control his powers. It's very... realistic isn't really the right word, given the setting, but it makes it feel more real. It's something he has to struggle with and work on. I like that. Again, you paint vivid pictures. Can't wait for more! Perhaps next chapter gives some more insight into Taran's family situation, hm?

    Small World

    This was a great poem. Thanks for sharing it. The last part really spoke to me. I took the trash out the other night. It was late, past midnight. And I took a breath of air and it smelled so clean. It didn't smell like Oslo. It smelled like standing in a field in the middle of nowhere after it's rained. Such a strange feeling. Yeah, the Earth doesn't miss us at all.
  6. Aww, that's so sweet! ❤️ Once again, I find myself captured by your descriptions. In their briefness and simplicity, you paint such a clear picture. I could see them walk through the rose garden, fly up to the top of the dome, could see the sunset and the city below them.
  7. Your role, and that of the people you work with and manage, is so, so important right now. I'm proud of you.
  8. Thank you for reading it.

  12. I could have sworn you'd told me about that blond, though! Maybe it was over PM, I don't know. Either that or an extreme case of deja vu.

    Today

    We had to go out to take the kitten to the vet, for the rest of her vaccines, on Tuesday. There were some people about, but less that usual. Paul went to the supermarket on the way back and it seems like people have stopped hoarding. We went for a walk around the lake too, on Wednesday. People were idiots, passing way too close to one another, but otherwise it was nice to get some air.

    Virus

    I know. I agree. It's horrible and inhumane. Turning humans into statistics.

    Virus

    Wow, that last line really hit me. Well written.
  16. I feel like you've told that story before... I was terrible at maths. Or I thought I was. What actually happened when I was 8 was I'd help my best friend with her work and not have time to finish my own. The teachers thought I didn't get it and put me in a special group. By the time it became clear that I didn't belong there, I'd missed division. Which meant that when we started fractions I was utterly lost, which meant that I got even more delayed. I'm actually pretty good at maths, and the more abstract the better.

    Today

    Haven't seen any of my friends irl for over a week. It's my weekly D&D game I miss the most. We do it online now, but it's not the same... Anyway, what I'm saying is, I feel you.
  18. Congratulations! ❤️
  19. I know a lot of librarians. I've been doing sound helping out at events at a library for the past few weeks (all upcoming events have been cancelled for the next month due to corona, though, sadly), and I have several good friends who are librarians. And I can tell you that there is nothing that makes a librarian quite so happy as seeing kids come back day after day to devour books. (Figuratively speaking.) Yeah, that was me as well. My big mouth has gotten me into a lot of trouble over the years... Most teachers don't like smart-ass students who don't know when to shut up. Thankfully, I had a few teachers who did too, specifically all my English teachers and all but one of my arts and crafts teachers. lol
  20. @jamessavik Thanks for sharing The Unforgiven. I haven't listened to it in far too long and it used to be one of my favourites. I was once at a folk music thing, kind of a meet-up, in Sweden, and it was about two in the morning, people sitting passing a guitar around. And we played this. Two or three acoustic guitars, I sang, and more people kept turning up to join. Got to the solo and this older guy pulls out a fiddle and just shreds it, the perfect fucking rendition of that thing. Gave me chills. Such a good night. Anyway, fond memories.

    Five Steps

    Thanks, Wayne. I know. ❤️

    Five Steps

    Thank you. Don’t worry, I’m not suicidal. That would take effort I just don’t have.

    Five Steps

    Thank you, Parker. It always starts with the little things... Both the darkness falling, and the dawn that follows.

    Five Steps

    Thanks, tim. ❤️ I try to just swim through it, I guess. Accept that there are days when I just can't and try not to push myself on those days, and then work on it on the days when I can. That's what they told me in my depression psychoeducation class. Then in my bipolar psychoeducation class they told me I just have to live through it and try to do things that are good for me, because, well... it's just my brain chemistry.
