Vast it is, in that dark corner of your mind, the one filled with stark loneliness? That one where you knew you failed again?

AN OPINION ON PASSIONS
I learned something that might help a few of you out there. A very intelligent friend educated me.... I was actually depressed about the emotional charge and deep division in this country. What had caused it? Changing topics, just for a couple of analogies. I love Stevie Ray Vaughn. Others of you may love Eric … Continue reading AN OPINION ON PASSIONS

A BITTER MEAL
Here is a lifetime wasted in jealousy. Jealousy of anyone whose life was more successful than mine. My breakfast was a cup of Bitterness hating anyone and everyone, with just a dash of cream.

Note to Self
What would you say, to that little prior version of you? That much younger one? The one wearing the Roy Rodgers cowboy boots?
