I wonder if my presence on earth amounts to anything or anyone.

Developing relationships is harder when older

For me

My lens on life is more refined

For me

On dealing with flaky, unreliable, self-centered, narcissists peeps

For me

Tolerance does not live here anymore

For me

I want to walk in the almighty’s footsteps

For me

I give in to others, take care of others and walk away emotionally, physically

Drained only to isolate and recharge

What is the purpose of putting in the work to develop and maintain friendships?

People don’t see me as a potential friend

For me

I failed many times over to see that

For me

I play a role, volunteer, parishioner, altruist, the ‘yes’ person

For me

At times a heavy burden, carrying the weight of anything or anyone

When I do not carry my own weight

I am trying to divert the altruism back to where it originated

I volunteer at a cat sanctuary and it is work

For me

It feeds mi alma (my soul) with warmth and fertilizes my inner soil

For me and the cats

It is a win/win, for the cats bring calm and I bring food which brings calm to them

For me

Calm, the word in itself is Linus’ blanket

When the sound of Calm reaches my ear, negativity of anyone or anything

is Released

I am all that came before and presently am.

What’s to come is what I leave behind.
