21. Overload, you're both on overload

Thu Jan 22, 2026, 08:32 AM

Thursday

It's just to much for anyone, but good and kind people don't just hear shit and let it pass.

We feel it, we internalize it.

Can you get away? Long drive? See something pretty? Stop thinking for a bit?

I've been watching old movies, black and white, good guy wins, bad guy gets it. It seems to be giving me the space I need,

Hugs to you both, having someone to share feelings -not facts, but personal stuff, physical stuff- helps.
(We made spaghetti with sardines together last night, laughed a bit, watched some non-political youtube sciency stuff)
