❝And I let it run like an open vein
Love the pleasure and curse the pain
Ohh, foolish things I’ve done
And I never thought I’d make it here
Wish I could live another hundred years
Ohh, foolish the things I’ve done
But I’m too old now to die young.❞
— Will Hoge -
Seems a bit - Melancholy doesn't it?
Picked up from ScratchPad on the creative cafe A Medium.com project that promotes, in their words; Poetry, fiction, personal essay and so much more.
And no, I haven't submitted anything for publication there. Have you been to medium.com? Rather interesting concept in social media and blogging *in general*.

So.
I've not been nearly positive enough lately. And for that I apologize. To you. To me.
It's been a hard year. Dealing with all I've been dealing with has made it hard to stay focused on what good there has been. Because there has been and I haven't been showing my gratitude nearly enough.
Grateful to be here. Grateful to you for being here.
That said, there is one less person on my friends list.
So , "Adios, amigo!"
Picked him up during the recent LJ revival thing. I had seen him around LJ for years. I think he even started that 2017_revival group. He hadn't posted anything since sometime in June anyway. If I remember correctly, it was a post to say he had lost the will, didn't have time, etc...
Maybe I wasn't positive enough or something for him. It's okay, I can be an acquired taste sometimes. Or not.
I don't think we ever really clicked any in any personal way. It happens sometimes. I might have removed him some time back when going through the list in one of my periodic purges. Cannot remember. Doesn't matter. I just got an email that the dude had removed me...
I thought the dude was a bit pompous and pretentious at times. Sometimes it seemed it was just a bit "Forced". If you liked the guy, more power to you. I was not a fan after a bit.
And I can be kind of a dick sometimes too...
There were a few others that I picked up from there that have fizzled out. Happens. Shame though, some seemed quite interesting.
At any rate, I am glad you're here!
Hope the weekend is treating you all right!
