sometimes_i_cant_sleep
daxle I lie awake and think about a child who's struggling, and what I could possibly do to take away some of their pain, to send them on a better life path. Who do I think I am, anyway, trying to fix these things? 081010

no reason things like this are what make me think i may not be able to handle any kind of helping profession
then again, i guess struggling people can be anywhere

In_Bloom Yes, I think about what brings me happiness and comfort and then think of who shares those things around the planet.

Sometimes I feel spoiled or guilty and wonder if I should give things up further or if it will have any impact at all other than my psyche

My psyche... who gives a rat's ass about that anyway? It can't affect or effect much and I know it.

Once upon a time I thought bursting out my love would cascade and flower but more and more it's a snack for others.

And I can't reconcile my thoughts to sleep

birdmad it used to be so
and it is so once again

and before it used to be because i could feel my soul disintegrating and seeping out of me into the night

but i kept the pieces i needed and made the peaces i needed

now it is because i have five 10-week-old kittens who think i make a good launch pad and scratchy-toy and who like to observe the sacred rituals of kitten_mayhem five times a night
