The Drop in Centre
kbois replied to Mikiesboy's topic in Mikiesboy's Drop in Centre's Mikieboy's Topics
I prefer to write when no one else is around. I find it easier to concentrate. I have a habit of getting hyperfocused on what I'm doing when it comes to reading or writing. When I'm in the zone, the walls could come crashing down and I'd be oblivious. Plus... no one in my real world knows what I write. I prefer to keep it that way. -
Listen to that single voice. I think it's stronger than you know. 🩷

It's mind-blowing how destructive water can be. This year has had too many events. Flash floods, typhoons, hurricanes... they are all a reminder that there are forces much more powerful than lowly humans can truly comprehend. My heart goes out to everyone in your country affected by the flooding... and also to a terrified little doxie puppy. 🩷 -
See what happens when Aaron leads us into a tale of "What's behind door number one?" A lone store clerk hears a bump in the night and falls for the inquiring minds want to know trick. Does curiosity kill the cat? You'll have to read to find out. So go ahead and enjoy this spooky short story. You'll be glad you did.

In the realm of ghostly tales this was thoroughly enjoyable. An unexpected brief departure from your usual Whacky World of Aaron... but still well within your twisted wheelhouse. Well done!

The party/barbecue was important. Families who are touched by dementia need some sense of normalcy to keep a well maintained life balance. Thanks for reading!

I'm in Massachusetts... where my heart us at home. Off to visit a couple of brothers and we have other family coming over for dinner tonight. Still living out of a suitcase but at least I'm not being forced to.. lol Have a good day everyone! -
Most of the time I can deal pretty well with the unexpected. However, I do have my moments of being a hot mess. Being displaced for hurricane Helene, I was a bit of a mess. There were other things contributing to my stress levels and unfortunately, I let negativity come to the forefront. Evacuating for Milton, even though we were playing musical accommodations for a week, didn't stress me out as much. I only had one afternoon where I just didn't want to deal with anything or anyone... so I didn't. I learned it's better to control what you can and adapt to what you can't.

Feeling relieved is normal. During my mom's last few days I felt frustrated because she was hanging in there. With dementia, you are left with an empty shell at the end. Who your loved one was is long gone. It's a huge relief when they finally take their last breath. Its only then that the person you knew and loved is finally free of the chains of confusion and loss of memory. My brother and I were at Mom's side when she died. I never truly appreciated the saying "the weight of the world is lifted off one's shoulders" until that moment. The relief was immense. It's nothing to feel guilty about.

Kenny is a great guy. Jordy is a perfect balance for him and we can't forget Visa... goofy doggo. I'm always happy to have you read for me. I truly appreciate your opinions. 🩷

Jeezus.... remind me not to really piss you off.

Thanks Mags! So many lives are touched by dementia. It's more like an epidemic. I wish it were different.

Parental caregivers are a unique club where membership is entered into reluctantly. It's a special breed of kids who end up switching roles with a parent. Thanks for reading!

The end of any relationship is heartbreaking. It doesn't matter the circumstances. I'm so sorry. 💔

I've got a couple of know it all brothers. Hurricane bearing down on me for the second time in two weeks and all of a sudden they know what we should be doing. GTFO... unless you live here, keep your opinions to yourself.

Jim & Kim are control freaks. Kim is that type of person who will host Thanksgiving dinner for 25 people just to hear people praise her efforts. They think that just because Mom lived with them, they should be the sole decision makers.

I did warn you that you might need tissues! @weinerdog.... move over. Thanks for reading!

A truly enjoyable coming of age story. Charlie has a lot of things he needs to figure out and a gap-year road trip is his solution. Another wonderful story that tim has brought us. Don't miss out.

This was such a wonderful story of Charlie's journey to discovering himself. It's so hard when you're young to figure things out, not just sexuality, but career paths, developing friendships and learning how to navigate adulting. Charlie was lucky to find someone seasoned and who truly cared about him to be his first experience. It paved the way for him to recognize a forever relationship with Eddie. Well done tim!

It was hard to write. The only plus to losing someone you love to dementia is that it happens slowly and gives you time to come to terms with it. Saying goodbye hurts, but when it happens it's almost like a footnote. Thanks for reading!

Thanks Chris! Even though you didn't lose your parents to dementia, I'm sure it still hurt.

Did you miss this line? Jordy immediately went for the ice while I broke the seal on the Crown bottle Hmmmm?? I did channel myself into Annie. She's a great character. No more Sentinel stories. That series is done. It's been a rough year in several ways and I've had a few uphill battles. I am working on a story (non-supernatural) so eventually it'll get posted. I have an idea for another, maybe two part series. I'll have to see how it develops in my brain. So chill my loveable geek. 😘

Family dynamics seem to complicate things so often. Everyone has their own way of coping. It just sucks when that coping mechanism sucks the soul out of everyone else. That's how my brother is... difficult to be around on a good day, and downright unbearable on a bad. I just had to spend almost 4 days with him after Hurricane Milton. Next time I'll just leave, damn the expense. It's comforting knowing that we have such good memories of my mom. She was a beautiful soul. Thanks for reading!
