Therapy, Grief, Rage

[Cthulhu1138]

So I thought about re-booting an old pic thread,

Then I thought about making an alt for all my angry rants and dirty pics, but ultimately I just want to vent and fuss and share without all that much work.

So I am starting a new thread, one prompted by a search for validation, a desire to feel seen, and a way to work through some emotions that I don't have many other places to express.

I just keep thinking about all the work I put in to something to have it dissolve in my hands. I think about nights I stayed up late or days that I missed opportunities just so that I could be called a liar or be ghosted.

I kept reaching out but it felt like shouting in to the void.

So now I will shout here.

Maybe it wasn't meant to be. You may not realize it now but time will help you see it. The right thing will come along when it's time.

I appreciate the sentiment, but "meant" to be is as much a fairy take as frogs and mermaids and swords stuck in stones.

Relationships happen because of choices, they last because of our actions

I am a guy, and I like flowers.

I enjoy their colors their scents, the way that they have evolved through cooperation with pollinators.

It is common practice to give your loved one cut flowers, but in some situations sending flowers can raise questions, and in a long distance relationship, after a while that symbol of affection becomes "guy equals dead flowers."

So I shared flowers with someone to make us feel connected, to strengthen what we had.

Sadly, that connection withered like the real plants captured here, frozen in time.

I suppose that is the nature of all photos, capturing a moment in time.

So here are some flowers to hide...

Today has been a warm, sunny day. The city has opened up and people are emerging to soak up the fleeting warmth and brightness before a front moves in bringing low gray clouds and the threat of snow.

We relish both the warmth and the folly of our "fool's spring."

To me, there are few things as therapeutic as the feeling of the sun on my skin.
