One second I blinked—
And there it was: a blade, buried in my finger.
I honestly don’t remember how.
But the scar never lets me forget.

A: There’s no magic. No secret formula.
I just keep going.
And when it feels like pure quicksand—
I still keep going.
There’s no reason. No excuse.
Not to.

A: A physical scream.
We’ve already talked about it with my therapist—
screaming is something I’m not ready for yet.
Because I know it won’t be just loud.
It’ll be destructive.

It’s not a crisis. It’s not a cry for help.
It’s just… there.
Like background music I never chose, but can't turn off.

A lot’s been happening lately.
Court. Motions. Reports to the police and the prosecutor’s office.
If it weren’t for Lamotrix (not an ad), I think I’d have lost my mind by now.
Thankfully, I feel peaceful at the moment — like Teffi in this photo.

Q: When did you build something like it was your shelter from everything?
A: That’s what Sotnichenko is.
Right now, it might just look like a slightly misspelled last name.
But soon, you’ll understand exactly what I mean.

Q: What phrase saved you from saying that final “screw it all”?
A: “What we don’t change, we choose.”
It’s one of those phrases you don’t just read — you have to hear it, really let it hit.
That line pulled me back more than once.

My baby got lifted twice today.
First because the brake pads were rubbing against the rims. Then again — for a tire change.
Okay, technically she’s my dad’s car…
But she feels like mine.

Did nothing useful today except Zazzle. Well, and took a career aptitude test.
But the real revelation? I’m officially afraid of snails.
Panic. Disgust. Full-body shivers.

I love this kind of weather — like history breathing.
But working in it feels impossible, like the world asks you to stop and just feel.
At least today, the barista near my place remembered me. That’s enough to save the day.

Indeed! Where is the joy of re-rdiscovery forgotten memories? Or recasting memories with new perspectives looking back?
Or just the magic of serendipity.
Did Gordon Bell find joy in all his LifeBits?
