Figured it was time to make a new tagged post.

I am in my late 40s and a widower. My wife was diagnosed with ALS, also sometimes referred to as Lou Gerrig’s disease, and fought it for two years. She was my heart and now I’m just broken.

I have two teenage boys that have some of the more severe symptoms of the autism spectrum. There are challenges daily, but we work together to move forward. (Well, we try.)

I’m an artist and work in an art museum part time. Which means I don’t make a whole lot of money, but at least I love what I do.

I’m also a progressive, bibliophile, sci-fi/fantasy nerd, board game enthusiast, and have way to many animals in my care.

I typically follow back unless you look like a bot, and then I’ll probably block you.

Live in the Midwest, USA.

I have a thing for corvids.

Hey, man, c'mere. Listen. Get in real close, this is important.

You're gonna make stuff again. You're gonna make stuff you're proud of. You're gonna make stuff you're excited to share. You're going to feel that overwhelming drive to create, not just the frantic I want to want to you're stuck in now. You're going to have awesome ideas, and you're going to make them into reality. You're going to create again. You're still an artist. You're still a writer. You're still home to the same passion you had before. You'll find it again. It's not gone. It's just resting. Let it rest. You're going to make stuff again. I promise.
