tangibility is the opposite of a dream reality says they can be the same - unless you're a hologram like Leia telling me life can be a dream come true... how do you tell if you're dreaming?

The other night I knew I was dreaming because the ceiling light was on instead of the lamp.

It's so odd how often two prompts use the same word (or a variation of the same word) on the same day or within a day of each other. It's a few times a week. I wonder if anyone is a regular offender.

Do y'all go to a meeting and decide which word to double up on to confuse us or what? 😂

That's why I stay here - because there's awesome people like you! ❤️

Thank you! 😊

I love it, it makes me smile! I'm happy to know you too. Your poems always show me new, pretty flowers and everyone needs a friend like that. 💖

I have no nostalgia
for when I was born,
don't remember that day
considering exactly what
I went through
it's probably best anyway

(sorry Mom)

This was the best birthday I've had in a long time because I wasn't alone - I had you guys. 😊 I wasn't sad and depressed. I might even be... happy? I'm just glad to have all of you around, no matter how well I know you. You're awesome and thank you for being you! 💖🎉

darkness swallows
sunlight and suffocates
until the calm is no longer
and the lonely thing left
are funeral lilies from
the unseen murder

I want to be anywhere but here
as long as it's wherever you are
being alone is what I fear
I want to be anywhere but here
let me make this perfectly clear
not being together feels bizarre
I want to be anywhere but here
as long as it's wherever you are

Some days that's all you can do.

I am! It's the best birthday I've had in years because I'm not alone. 😊❤️

Thank you! 😁

Thank you! I'm hoping it turns out to be a good year. 40 was awesome and I'm hoping for a repeat of that happiness. 😊

Thank you! It's spelled right, don't know what happened. I might not have found it for days otherwise, knowing me. 😂

I love it, thank you! 💜🥳

Thank you! ❤️

Why thank you! A little bit of danger can be fun. 😊💙

Hi Steve!

You said you tell you when it's my birthday... It's today! I'm 50. 🥳

They might not make sense to the rest of us in the way you mean them to, but we still see the beauty in them.

Thank you! 😊

Thank you! 🩵😊

Thank you 🫂
Don't worry, I finally have all the meds and it's gotten a lot better in the last month. 🤕

Thank you! 🩵😊
It was indeed a beautiful moment. I had to put a limit on how many dandelions they could pick each day or they'd be there for hours, picking them all like little chatty blonde goats. 😂

Thank you! 😊❤️ Not staying sober, pizza for dinner, just enjoying my day. Might Instacart something sweet since I didn't get a cake or anything.

Got it, you're better at showing than telling. 🤣

Thank you! 😊

Oh I will! Thank you! 😊

Thank you so much! 😊❤️
