  • I’d trade lifespan in order to be able to be in-the-moment just a bit longer during my son’s accomplishments, milestones, life events. It could be just another 5 minutes, or more. But also to be able to have more time in-the-moment for when he needs me to be his protector. Time to analyze and get my head around something that is unfolding realtime. The ability to find the right words, and a way to say something heavy in the right tone and with grace.

    Typing this all out made me cry. So much is going wrong for me right now, but the thought of “work will be over soon, I’ll get to be with my boy soon” helps me get through these days. And now I might be losing my dad earlier than I thought. I am worried that I might get sick too. I’d take all of the time I can if it could get me more time for right now.

    Sex scenes in TV/Movies are lame. What do they really provide to the story? Like the stuff in Thrones. It was beyond gratuitous. I could definitely do without scenes of SA as well. (I know it was in the books). It seems pretty clear who these scenes with topless women are for. Clearly I am not in the target audience lol.

    Perhaps I am just a bit uncultured when it comes to film as art, and the metaphors that are drawn by these scenes.




  • My son is 17, and recently told me he was looking for part time work. I’m fine with it, as long as his grades stay up. The selfish part of me wants him to not work yet. I’m hanging on to these moments of us spending time together. I know that he will not stay home forever, and I worry so so much. Like, if I’m not there, I cannot catch him. But again, he needs to experience these things, and be able to pick himself back up. At the end of the day, I support his desire to start venturing out into the world.
