Ænima

I’d care a hell of a lot less about the amount if it felt like it was being used for anything other than padding rich assholes pockets. I want my taxes to feed and help people, repair and maintain roads, and subsidies public transit. I guess I’m saying I want my money to help my community and the vulnerable, not sit in some rich fuckers bank account while a homeless settlement I drive by daily grows, tent by tent.

My parents’, stop crying or I will give you something to cry about, keeps me from being able to handle my 5yo when he’s getting emotional or crying about something I see as trivial or is a resolved conflict.

I feel embarrassed when someone, even my wife, sees me cry. I usually break down alone and as quietly as possible to avoid being caught. I’m better at letting that shit go, now, and allow myself to break down in front of my wife, but no one else.

If you stare at the elbow of someone you are high-fiving, you’ll never miss the high five.
