19. This, 1000x over

Nov 2024

I will be 54 in a few months and have been feeling the years shorten for some time now. I spent the last 4 years dreading what is happening now. What did my dread and worry get me? Nothing. So... fuck 'em. I'm done allowing them to dictate my feelings. They enjoy other people's anguish and pain, so why give them any satisfaction?
