Hi! I'm glad you're here. I've been writing creatively for over 25 years. I've decided to start archiving them here on WordPress.

(Un)safety In Numbers
Written months ago about various online conflicts from months ago; lost in a computer crash, reconstructed for my records 🙂
The Candles
The candles are all mine... I light them one by one...
Stone Wall / Stonewall
An outwardly-laid-back (but inwardly-turmoiled) depiction of how I feel in large groups or at social gatherings, as seen through my Asperger's / autistic filter. I act, mask, self-critique, edit, analyze, and agonize, all at the same time.
Floaters
Exploring miscellaneous aspects of mental health, being manipulated and bullied, psy-ops tactics, and so on.
‘On’ Again
I used the word "peopled out" long before I realized that Social Fatigue was a thing. This is a critique of how this introverted Aspie feels when I must face the world and interact.
Preparing for departure
An expression of pre-grieving for the impending passing away of my aunt, which occurred 18 days after this was written. Inspired by the beautiful song "Flames" by VAST.
When Do I Get To Be Me?
I think I'm ready to speak / I think it's starting to burn...
Ever-Loving When?
Feeling as though walking into the wolves, while trying to hold my head up high.
The Mirror
Still unpacking my Asperger's/autism revelation a year later; written 3-4 days before my "Aspie birthday".
