    “How you gonna ever find your place runnin at artificial pace?”

    A lot has happened since my last post.

    First of all, my community has been very hard-hit by Hurricane Helene. That’s a post for another time.

    But my Spidey senses are telling me that someone has kinda sorta moved on. They’ve stopped breadcrumbing me. In fact, during the height of the hurricane aftermath they basically gave up on me. Stopped trying to reach out and see if I was ok. It was more fun to go out on the town and drink the night away. Not saying I blame them… just made me realize my place.

    Honestly? If they’ve found someone then I am super duper happy for them!!! The moment I realized that might be what’s happening made me smile, because this person deserves happiness.

    But dude. Don’t forget about your friends. About the ones that try their best to lift you up and help you to be better.

    I’m struggling and you don’t give a crap about it.

    So when I am not the same person that you left, just remember you pushed me into this corner.

    “If everything is nothing, then are we anything?”

    It’s funny how certain things invoke nostalgia…

    This morning on my way into work I bought a bag of Halloween candy. An assorted mix with Reeses, KitKat, Whoppers, Hershey’s bars, etc. I keep the candy bowl stocked up in the office for customers (and us), and I like to keep the good stuff on hand. We had been out for a few weeks and I decided that today was the day.

    While eating my lunch, I grabbed a couple of the Reeses pumpkins and a pack of the Whoppers.

    I had forgotten how much I love Whoppers, and how every time I eat them they remind me of Halloween when I was a kid. I remember trick-or-treating in the cold weather. I remember our candy bowl at home having Milk Duds and Whoppers for any trick-or-treaters that stopped by our house. Fall is my favorite time of year, and this candy just makes me feel like a kid again.

    Happy memories. <3
