Can kinda tell where my head is by what I throw myself into at any given moment. Deep grief sends me on a ritual cleaning spree.

Go to put your mouth on a body and come up with a mouth full of chemical. Ack.

There's a fence covered in huckleberry a couple of blocks away. Just started blooming this week, so I walked over specifically to huff it
We need to understand power as a pathology.
What insulates you from consequences tends to unleash the impulses you would ordinarily curb out of fear of those consequences.
As you find you can get away with more and more, load-bearing parts of you erode.

Thanks. So far it's been The Best Case Scenario of Things You'd Rather Not Deal With, so I'm grateful for that.
