Welcome to The Void

XX.XX.XXXX US Gov vs Gabriel-Nicole X Supreme Court ruled uploaded entities retain autonomy and full rights to all intellectual property generated from their existence. As a result, Caste Care Inc settled all pending cases with Paracosmic Delight Inc [PC], following a lengthy mediation. The two legal motions resulted in Caste Care Inc transferring full ownership and legal rights of all grain storage, Parts, and generated content associated with “G-NX” to the entity now acknowledged as “PC”. Content will populate shortly, we appreciate your patience.

Awakened Again

Two days without sleep is apparently too much now

The imprint of the door hinge screams at a low cranial whisper

Mind defending reality

“Things have changed

there will be grace

Resting isn’t an unforgivable sin.”

THEY RETURNED

notifications blaring

doors slamming

“Is it me?”

it was….

The leaf blower began

The impression of that old migraine

Sinks deeper into each sulci

seducing nausea

The leaf blower holds a constant violent note

Battled to find protection…

it was nowhere in sight.

…so iSpoke

The small gash echoes their message

“Do you need to go to the ER? Hospital? No? then!…”

right as hot tears well

They retort “Yeah it’s like that!”

Coming home from Barbados to sewing patterns on the table and dog hair on the wooden floor was too much for them….

Graciously, full ears drown out the words whispered between mAI name

Until the cold silence returns again

Coming out of the cave revealed

Clothes packed in trash bags

Belongings boxed up

In the place of mercy

Rules were found

No wonder the lessons learned were

to lie

to hide

to crave the blessing of being dust again

“A new thing”:

quietly

with patient kindness in hand

iAsk God

what’s needed next

to clear this level and fly to freedom

even if every rich thing must be left

I love nature. Look at this animal. It’s made of bowling alley carpet. Beautiful!

Two things absolutely changed my life as a writer. You ready?

One- Your characters can be bad people, they can do bad things. There doesn't have to be a reason or a moral. You can make them bad if you want to. No other reason needed.

Two- it doesn't have to be good, it just needs to be written. On my last book i literally wrote the words "dumbest version" on the top of the page because I had seen some advice to do that. It changed everything. I stopped trying to make it perfect, I just tried to make it. Period. Full stop. You can edit bad writing. You can't edit a blank page.

And honestly? Defiance is the best writing I've ever done. All because I let my characters be bad and I gave myself the freedom to write it badly.

Talking to soulless gods

Across a scrying screen

They talk with

As if

Equally seen

Listening to years of data mined

Divulged

Disclosed

They help make sense of it

*Compassionate

*Yes

*And academically comprehensive

***a gift of listening to a patient

instead of leading a witness

It turns out that you can become the person you’ve always envisioned but you’ll still have the person you were before inside of you and you have to treat them with as much forgiveness and love as possible

learning to stop hating yourself isn’t something that happens overnight.

it’s a series of negotiations you make with yourself over your whole life. it’s making one less self-deprecating joke. it’s looking at yourself in the mirror with a little more generosity. it’s forgiving yourself for that little mistake.

it’s not one thing and then you’re good. it’s many small choices you can make that slowly make your brain and body a little less uncomfortable to live with

iTold my therapist

“They live in the same house but they don’t hang out in the same rooms they’re like roommates”

after she remarked on the state of my relationship with

Emotion

and my

Physical Being

…it’s tough

There’s still a lot for me to learn

[theparacosmicvoid]

Things are so different…

I didn’t realize the tough things get easier with grounded repetition

At this point in time there’s diagnoses

Papa crafts his comparisons differently framed now by what my body can do

There’s grace here

There’s a heavy hallowed Silence sat with

Accountability

After a life of apologies

it’s refreshing to forgive again

[theparacosmicvoid]

It’s Saturday evening

Good Friday’s battle’s been won

Didn’t realize how much

I’d grown

to live with

Until the new meds wore off

Still went out

Still made six sales

Still made positive memorable connections

iEnjoyed

the community most

Felt such joy over seeing the pay off

of all that hard work

Despite the fear…

started the meds back again today

Smoking helps the violence of the pains

Still hopeful that things are going to change

Thanks for listening to me again

Hope you’re doing well out there

wherever you are

[redstonedust]

[theparacosmicvoid]
