While I may not write poetry everyday, I have written some recently. I hope it connects with you. – K.

In what ways do you communicate online?
One of the ways I communicate online is right here. Through my blog, I’m able to connect with you and others who might come across it.
A way that I most often communicate with others online is through various social media. Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, and Discord are my favorite ways to connect to others. I know Twitter has become a mere shadow of the place it was back when I started on there many years ago, but I still have friends there.
I’d say that Instagram/Threads is the one I use the most right now. Finding groups of folks who are into the same things that I am has been a lot easier than Twitter, and I just love all of the visuals I get to see on there.
Once upon a time, Yahoo! Mail was my go-to, but now that is Gmail. I check my Gmail often, mostly for updates from sites I’m a part of. On occasion I’ll get e-mail as well. -

You said my name, and my heart skipped a beat. It had been a long time since I heard your voice. It brought tears to my eyes and a smile to my face. I often think of you and your voice. What would you feel about current events? You telling me, “Happy for you, proud of you,” when something good happened for me. Your singing. I miss you so very much.
Thinking of you on the eve of your birthday.

During my senior year in high school, I took a Psychology class. In that class, a couple of days were devoted to breaking us up into smaller groups, without our teacher, so that we could be honest with each other. It was a really eye-opening exercise for me. My classmates got to tell me exactly what they thought about me. Many had thought because of a person that I hung out with in my younger years, who was a bully, they assumed that I, too, was like that. Really showed me that guilt by association was a real thing.

I had to say goodbye to my little furry overlord yesterday. It’s never ever easy to have to part with family, but he hadn’t been feeling well for the last few weeks, and to just keep him going for me would’ve just been cruel. I am devastated by this. I had him ever since he was a kitten. Nearly 18 years of indoor bratty housecat life. It’s the middle of the night. I woke up thinking about him. Losing him has just been the cap on a month that has been both wonderful and not. I wish it didn’t have to happen like this. I don’t remember when I took this photo of him, but it’s my favorite. I miss you so much, Flagg.

It’s so hard to see the consequences of actions when you’re in the moment. It’s only when confronted with hard truths that the affects of the things that we do really sink in. We break the idea of ourselves in the eyes of others. We break the hearts of those that we love. No matter how unintentional it is, there are always consequences. How do we come back from the breaking point? The point where the hurt is so deep. How do I pick up the pieces that have been shattered and strewn all over the place?

I’m in a weird place right now. That one where I try to reach out but pull my hand back right before I make the call. I’ve been isolating myself and withdrawing from people that I feel are the closest to me. Who wants to burden people who their bullshit when others are already going through their own. I constantly apologize for thinking too hard and too much. It’s a fucking mess in here. The public mask of joy, and happiness I didn’t need for a while has returned. I can’t be myself right now, I just need to be something or someone else for a while until I figure this shit out.
