And the cigarette burns away,
like the ashes of engraved memories,
of lost opportunities,
or the hands of Time that pulls away -
all too soon, all too sudden.

"I sometimes think that people’s hearts are like deep wells. Nobody knows what’s at the bottom. All you can do is imagine by what comes floating to the surface every once in a while.”

depression, anxiety, the impossible task, Twitter
So since I’m avoiding 🐦, I missed out on this genuinely good thread on The Impossible Task, a less-recognized facet of depression & anxiety. As someone who grapples with both, seeing this phenomenon named was huge. https://twitter.com/mollybackes/status/1034239973392871426
"But maybe that's the way it should be. Maybe working on the little things as dutifully and honestly as we can is how we stay sane when the world is falling apart."

(parental) alcoholic toxicity and a dear friend indeed.
Across the 7 hours and 6660 miles apart, herelies an undying friendship aged 8 years+ and counting.
Having heard about the growing toxicity of my r/s w my alcoholic mother, he offers to let me stay at his parents' - "you'll have a second place when I'm back!"
Never felt more relevance to the saying, 'a friend in need is a friend indeed.'
Eternally grateful for this undying kindness and love. You'll always a special place in my heart.
And the cigarette burns away,
like the ashes of engraved memories,
of lost opportunities,
or the hands of Time that pulls away -
all too soon, all too sudden.
