Dear Reader,

I hope you are doing alright. I’ve been doing things to try to keep me distracted from what pains me, while simultaneously seeking a challenge. For example, I don’t keep as quiet anymore when there are things I don’t mess with happening. I do not want to be afraid, but seeking it can be problematic. Do we ever find the balance?

We don’t know the balance, but we feel it out.

Why can’t I just know? Like it was an .exe I could run? I am too afraid of some of the possible outcomes of “feeling it out”. I will make mistakes, which I expect not to be forgiven for, but maybe I’ll be surprised.

Okay, in completely unrelated news…

After a failed attempt this year at having a yard sale, I’ve decided to change it up and plan out a friend meet-swap. Where I invite all my friends and ask them to bring stuff they no longer want and expect to take some stuff home that they would find useful. I’ll try to coordinate food, and games too. This prompts a better community than trying to sell my stuff to random strangers that stop by. This new approach feels more inline with my values as well. Not that there is anything wrong with a yard sale, there are pros and cons.

Here are some photos of my most recent show I put up, my abandonded places collection:
