We Come As We Are
No one is perfect.
Most of us are hurt.
Don’t let fear stop us from trying again.
Let’s just begin again where we begin.
My Love,
I am so proud of you.
Look at how far you have come!
I look forward to getting to talk with you all about it.
Dearest Friend,
We are on the edge of eviction, so I am distracted trying to prevent it.
I wish you were here to put your arms around me.
Stay safe.
“Precarious”
(Would You Go With Me – Josh Turner)
Chicks Are Back!
Say no more – except Peep! Peep! Peep!
Honey,
I wanna taste you better.

Home Base
She just wanted to hold him and have him hold her – and have them finally know and feel that their hearts were safe and home.

Darling,
It’s kind of cute and funny (don’t you think?) that we seem to be having this effect upon each other.
Near tragic if we don’t do something soon to overcone it, but I think that it’s a very solid indicator that we are truly in love.
And this can be exhilarating if we create solid foundation and then let the feelings carry us – thereby placing us into the next phrasing category of “head over heals in love!”
I Want To Get It All Right
Sometimes we find our selves by being
In the right place for the wrong reasons
Or the wrong place for the right reasons
Learning Music
“Sometimes, I take leaps.
I do not know how, and I can only trace them by recording by chance and then understanding a bit through later analysis.
I wish I had a system that I could build upon and understand, though.”
My Love,
I am excited to know you.
I am sorry that I have such difficulty crossing the barrier to you.
My closest people could verify that I am usually not like this.
I can usually switch easily between intro- to brief extroversion in various situations.
I think that the issue for me is that you mean so much to me.
And when I get close to you, the overwhelming sensations inside of me compete for priority.
I guess this is what they mean by the phrase, ‘You sweep me off of my feet!'”
(Take Me With U – Prince)
It Hadn’t Mattered This Much Before
Apparently, though she had loved, she had not loved anyone to such depths that could uproot her past losses – which explained why she also felt more vulnerable now.

In This Case,
She had fallen in love with the man through the dragon.

The Protection Of Being Alone
She was afraid to let someone in because she had been so picked apart by past men.
Technology Is Hungry/Thirsty
“No matter what I do, my car charger’s insert plug keeps trying to wind up in my food and drinks!”

And Then The Flood Came
She had found him, sang from back stage at the end of his set to lend support to him, they were able to kiss on cheeks then lips briefly – and then she was sent off on a wild goose chase away from him as he had to ready for departure and she had thought that she was joining him at a diner.
After a long bus ride that ended up dropping everyone else off at different venues except her and her guide, the two were finally let off at a park, and as they walked along a path, she asked to be connected with him by phone.
After her guide called him, she could hear him asking her guide questions about her, so she asked to speak with him directly.
Yet, his responses by phone with her once he was outside of his costume were filled with suspicious aloofness in his tones as he questioned the validity of her caring for him, stating how could he believe it – and what proofs could she provide of her affection?
She then opened up her heart to him and told him that she wanted to travel the circuit with him to get to know him and support him, that she couldn’t do distance relationships anymore because they were unhealthy for her, and that maybe she could work along the way to help with her travel expenses.
She didn’t have any money right now, but she was willing and open to innovating.
But he still resisted believing her because for too long he had survived by guarded indifference.
So she pleaded that he tell his other half how much she adored and loved him, and that even though she didn’t well know this side of him on the phone, she knew that she was certain that she also loved him, too.
She was crying as her voice kept getting softer, and she struggled to convey the depths of her feelings while sobbing gulps made it harder and harder for her to breathe as she tried to keep speaking.
When she at last finished, he said nothing.
“Hello, are you there..?
I love you…
Are you there..?”
Straining to hear any response from him, her emotions became so overpowering that she found herself waking from what revealed itself to be a dream, and heavy tears emerged in reality as she found herself still calling out quietly to him, “Are you there?”
“Your Trace” (Song)
By Athena Stairs, January 28, 2026
And I am still here wishing for
The moments of your grace
I work upon myself to rid
Old feelings of disgrace
But there is something missing
Only found when touch your face
I need the dream we’re building
Come let’s find our hiding place

“‘That’s My Girl'”
Back To “Norms”
“Ah – how the pendulum does like to swing!”
Flared Agitation
“The bill’s rapid-fire speaking representative refused to acknowledge the efficacy of my request that she briefly summarize past due and paid activity so that I could see it more clearly – rather than my having to wade through an overload of visual data in many statements that she wanted to send to discern this while I battle brain injury.”
My Love,
Never before could I reach this phase of healing as I walked along these broken roads searching, until you came into my life.
Rapid Reframing
“I repeat myself when under stress to find the answers in a mess. The pieces fit where became blocked – keep turning ’til slide into socket. A light turns on as truth reveals healing begun as wounding seals.”
AckNowLedgement
They had not been so corrupted when she had known them, thus she had not been naive to believe in their good aspects.
It was just extremely shocking to realise later how much the matriarch’s and her support in love had kept them on track.
And when the matriarch had passed, they all chose to absolve any adherence, and instead embraced anarchy’s tyranny and cast about blame for their grief and losses.
A Spell’s Unbinding
In her mind, the arrow tip’s shard at last began working its way to the surface, extruding from imbedment in her heart.
She could not yet feel any relief, for so long had her tissues been frozen in shock and fear’s caution to carefully contain its position and keep it from tearing her apart.
She then buried it at their once matriarch’s grave, the place where she had tearfully and wretchedly prayed for guidance when all had turned insane and then, soon after, the truth behind lies had revealed itself to her.
The matriarch could cleanse the shard, seal it, and neutralize that negative energy, blessing the woman by their once mutual alliance to carry on with her own story, no longer bound to that family’s tragedies.
Waking As Goodbye
She dreamed that she finally told her ex-husband honestly, regretfully, and decidedly that she could no longer be with him, wait for him, or hold space for him in her heart.
And as she woke, she found herself speaking the words aloud to him as the dream with his presence faded, thus dissolving the hidden threads that had still bound her to him.

Self-Fulfilling
They had not believed in good, therefore had not supported good – and then, promoted destruction due to misplaced skew in their agendas.
The Issue, Really
She had cared for them all, deeply.
(Matte Kudasai – King Crimson)
Song repost from July 2022
There Was A Time
When men were worth trusting and believing in.
Loving,
I want to be with you.
I don’t know what all of this means.
It’s unfolding…
(Feed The Gods – White Zombie)
“Aslan”
“MonoKeros”
A Queen’s Will
He and his wife were excluded because they had not contributed to the needs of his own children.
Their betrayal, in her eyes, was simply the deciding factor.

Retaliation
Never corner a wolf.
Centuries Of Sin
“It is not men’s right to distort the words of God(s) to gain their own advantages by crimes against the world and humanity.”
Among Thieves
“There is currently an extreme lack of honor that is harming too many victims by callous indiscretions.”
Today’s Thematic
Being wrongfully kicked by those who claim authority without grace and wisdom.
Why Bring It Up?
Because she found out how badly they had attempted to ruin her good reputation.
Don’t sling dirt at someone who has suffered wrongfully by the slinger’s hands.
Funny How It Goes
The matriarch’s decisions later were a result from their own actions – but they discounted their own accountability and blamed the granddaughter-in-law because she did not let them get away with mal-intended deeds.
Affiliation
“I do not regret standing up for and protecting the woman who always did the same for us through any weather.”
For Her Honor
She remembered when their matriarch was in the hospital, and her son’s wife tried to grab her purse to seize power of attorney.
“No…she put me in charge of her purse,” said the granddaughter-in-law (which had been true because she expected they’d take advantage in her moment of weakness), seizing the sachel back and calling for protective backup.
It was an act that later set the rest of the family against her
A Radio Show Last Night
“Featured a program about a male ‘love bomber’ who would stay with a woman for years, use her up, and then suddenly leave her for another woman – wrecking the prior one in the process while destroying their trust in the world.
Even though I have been the recipient more than once from this type of behavior, what good did the message serve beyond spreading more fear and doubt in each other?
Communicate, people.
Learn to invest in and believe in each other – and be worth the risk for your partner.”
