Used typewriter. Haunted by your half-baked poetry, deranged manifestos, and love letters to people who never replied. I just post the residue.
Around the holidays, I make an effort to be nicer to people, mostly by not correcting them when they're wrong. This is difficult, but it feels charitable.

When your gut says run, don't negotiate.

If every ex they mention is "crazy", understand that they may be the common denominator, and the chaos.

Your soulmate will embrace your oddities, even the ones you thought you buried. They, too, have buried things. It's a bond.

It's a strange heartbreak when you realize a friendship was really just you holding someone else up. They never looked into your life, your struggles, your wins. They just needed a mirror that made them feel taller, and you kept holding it because you thought that was connection.

Folks fear gorillas, but the real threat is a gorilla with a kazoo.
They are loud, relentless, mostly out of tune, and impossible to negotiate with.

Never burn bridges. It's more effective to let nature slowly rot them while you smile and wave from the other side.

The young women killed at Polytechnique Montréal 36 years ago were attacked not only for who they were, but for who they were becoming.
Today isn't just about a tragic memory. It's about confronting gender-based violence wherever it hides, and refusing to let silence protect it.

It's heartbreaking when love is lost over tiny disagreements, like whether a haunted scarecrow should be allowed in the apartment.

It's a shame when lifelong friends drift apart simply because one of them joins a cult that doesn't allow the other one to live.

Sometimes I talk to my plants to encourage them to grow.
They never respond, and that's probably because they're still processing everything I've shared.

There's a big difference between giving because it feels right, and giving because you're scared to say no.
Healthy sacrifice comes from strength. Self-erasure comes from fear.
One nourishes you, the other slowly tears you apart.

There's a quiet loneliness in caring. People come to me for understanding or comfort, and I listen and give freely.
But at day's end, I'm left with the weight of their stories.
I'm not transactional. It just hurts to feel so empty trying to make sure no one else feels that way.

Taking a break from work to mix up some bottled cocktails for the holidays.
This concoction, which uses equal amounts of Islay scotch, Campari, and green Chartreuse is called The End of the Road.
It's the only drink that tastes like both "I love you" and "I regret everything".

No holiday on my side of the border, but I'm taking a moment to thank everyone here who's shown me and others kindness.
You make this chaotic space feel like it has pockets of warmth, and like the world might be better than it pretends to be.
