Day Twenty-One, January 21st, 2024

I hope your week and weekend was gracious while being pleasant.

Ever have a song that you connect with? Or the communication from singer and group touch you somewhere deep and personally tied through a shared understanding?

I found The Hics around two years ago and, if I was to say that was bad timing, it’d be an overly egregious lie. Ill get back to this…check songs Lines, Tell Me, and Float by The Hics

Relationships on their meaning, friend to friend, brother to brother, sister, teacher workmate, what have you. There is a tenuous thread that seems more than fragile nearly like fine China, porcelain, or the more malleable but still fragile, Playdoh.

Speaking of friendships, I have one and he’s 85 and the few I have had since last year, I found I had squandered some bridges and one’s big enough that I had to sever the ties to benefit the survivability of my own relationship with my wife. Which brings the other tests in holding a relationship, especially a marriage. This is more than fierce, more than fear-inducing and more tender and, or rapturous depending on circumstances then I’d ever imagine.

As a younger man, being I proposed at 20, not knowing I would be graced with a child who has autism and is nonverbal, that I’d get diagnosed with MS seven years after, and that I was not at an appropriate and mature level for when I initially got married. It was a whirlwind of mind-blowing stupidity and aggression. Even still I loathe the young man I was, I’d beat the s#¥° out of him, but I’m here now. I’ve grown and I will continue to grow and learn from the mistakes I’ve made so as not to repeat them.

Anyhow the music, the relationship, the coincidences. The Hics happened to pop up right around the time of our relationship starting to disintegrate, as it is, the dichotomy of our differences and what drives our purposes are… Just that they’re different. The lyrics and heavy tones beat at a tired heart and my pained ears but it’s the addressing of the natural aspects to the lyrics. The similarities and the incessant calls for a hopelessness but a yearning that it can be rectified throughout each song I’ve listened to of theirs. I still listen, still try and try to be the better man I want to show and…hugging the cactus is taking and draining like never before. January 22nd post will go into detail here more and more

Good night good morning. Good morning good night thank you all for the support thank you all for continuing to come back.
