Category: The Accident – As Of 10/10/25 Early AM Named “Clyde” (Short For Collide) Because It’s Funny And I Deserve Mirth At Its Expense
Thematics
She saw a sign saying”Bernard Malamud, ‘A New Life,’ and recognized that a new life was what she was indeed heading toward.
But she didn’t want to read the book because she was tired of so much messaging pounding upon her from every angle to get her to let it have its influence.
The title itself enough reinforced the truth of what she was wrestling with – for certainly, there was no going back to what she’d had or was before.”
(No Stopping The Sea – Hammock, The Sleepover Series Volume I))
Hysterics
“It’s never going to get better – is it?!
It’s always going to hurt.
I’ll just get hurt again.
And I’ll always be screaming inside when any movement I do is trying to tear me apart – over and over, again!”
(Roots – Klur)
“Reality”
She was reinjured and caught within a next level pain trap attempting to break down her ability to reclaim independent functioning.
Why was she being interfered with?
Why was she being pounded upon?
This was no way to garner her submission!
They Could’ve Just Asked Me
“The fall’s effects could be seen as an extra layer of deterent toward continuing with school.
But I was already looking at this regarding winter and spring, considering other priorities.”
Carefully Winding
“I’ve been taking my time in order to track my safety’s condition.
Eyes are beginning to twitch and pain is returning – time to spread my wings!”
Unquaivering Quivering
“Ummm…yeah…
Hard to keep stability, thus hard to feel stabile – but I’m doin’ my best.
Pretty sure the new head injury is contributing.”
Bad-A**
“There are many reasons that I walk slowly with dense purpose…”
Puffy Eyes
“Ah, yes…
Another episode in the soap opera, ‘Days Of Our Lives…’
‘Tell me, doctor – is she going to live?'”
(Leave It – YES)
Layers
“Of injuries, what can be said?”
Warmth
“The sun is out for a moment, basking my left shoulder, neck, and face with its healing rays – penetrating to wounds with its forgiveness.”
Dear Friend,
My love for you softens me
But the pain contort-bends
The Core Of Pain
Is full of molten screaming
No mortal may survive in it
Proving therefore of divinity
I Think That
“I just cannot handle additional levels of pain to the load that I’ve already been carrying..”
Some Great Reward
She had not thought of the consequences to herself for bracing against the incoming car’s impact – only that she was in a split second outraged and defiant in her refusal to let the man’s short-sightedness use her and her vehicle as inadvertent means to harm anyone around her.

StarLight
“The pressures of the years rapidly increasing from the accident’s fallout have produced pronounced silver strands to either side of my cheek bones – which I always thought would be cool, but the Crone is definitely getting to drink her fill.”
Diversions
Retraining sessions
(TMBTE – Sleep Token)
Normalcy
“Is that like Vitamin C?
Can I buy it as a supplement?”
Trauma Bonded
“No matter what I do, I can’t seem to escape.”

(Title of multiple meanings)
Symptomatics
“Reactions to compounding lag in an injured system from having to repeatedly respond to new emergencies that push pressure loads beyond capacities into enforced quick adapting can lead to reactions and/or shut downs which present behaviors much like complex PTSD – either drastically slowing or suddenly forcefully expelling energy as a result of the system’s desperate attempts to create space for self regulation.”
Encouragement
“Even with continuing and multi-varied discouragements, I must cling to a moment ago’s realization that as I continue working new patterns over and over, my methods are beginning to adapt into streamlining.
Perhaps much of the issue exacerbating my injuries is constant disruption negatively reinforcing sensory overwhelm and overstimulation.”
Steps Back & Forward
“Although I may have just been exposed to COVID right in time to potentially sabotage attending my retraining, it is nice to note that my handwriting is beginning to smooth again at times – compared to right after and since the accident injuries disrupted motor skills coordination.”
(Don’t You Give Up On Me – Brandon Lake)
Groan
“Tomorrow’s going to be a long day due to even less sleep than usual.”
Darn It!
“Even only mildly and briefly vacuuming increases facial zones’ numbing reactivation!”
(Grrrr)
More Masking
“I have some ‘neck folds’ and ‘jowel’ contours that I keep working on to retrain fascial strengthening and smoothing due to the anterior portion of my neck injuries.
But trends in society like to say that this is how I should look for ‘my age’ – and if I didn’t have them, they would likely project jealousy!”
(Particles – Nothing But Thieves, Piano Version)
How Can I Now?
Ever
Feel
Good
Enough
What Is The Goal?
“The goal is to keep going forward…
Survival.”
It’s Weird
“To see doors closing that I once thought were still open to me.
Like…
I don’t think that I’ll ever do a year abroad now for school.
The concept seems ridiculous now with exhaustion from disability.”
Migraine Madness
I think I must shut down this entire need
This cycle of longing driving into frenzy
It is the situation – the abandonment cycle
Had I known, I would not have fallen into it
But I thought that it was an open invitation
That it was genuine honesty – for once given
Not another bait / switch retract scenario
Designed to send me into another tailspin
(Ascensionism – Sleep Token)
I’m Not Gonna
“No…you don’t get to see my internal mess, here…”
Who Made Me Like This?
“I did…
I’m an anomaly in the system – under pain and pressure to give in.”
Taking Pain Lightly
It was just another neck tension migraine…
Can I Just?
Go back to sleep now?
Can I not be in pain?
A Slanted View
“I greatly dislike how the injuries from the accident have increased burdens that I was already carrying.
What is this?
F-ing Boss level?!”
The Load
It isn’t easy carrying the weight on my own
No, in fact, I am very tired to faltering now
But I still know how to instinctively brace
Creating a type of pressure distribution
I just wonder what it would be like
To not have to hold the line alone
Quadly Quads
“It doesn’t help that my quads in addition to taking force straight through them of a speeding heavy car, they also froze and still adhere to thigh bones and tissues around them.
It is taking so very long in trying to get them to reactivate and differentiate again – which lacking this pulls even more on hip joint attachments.”
Adjustments
“Trying to switch grades to pass/no pass and prepping for next retraining workshop.”
Controlling The Fall
There’s really no “control”
When one is falling fast
Maybe just some guiding
Yet this can help life last
If hard flail plummeting
Likely get broken pieces
If dropping in composure
One accepts “inevitability”
But one can also glide
Diving direction angles
Aiming for a trajectory
Offering better survival
Apparently,
“Without glasses.”
Attempts
“Shall be made…”
Concepts
“Born of simple aspirations…”
This Idea
“That I could succeed at something…”
The Pain
“Pings my head so much and makes me constantly change directions.”
