Been a strange, tense couple of weeks. One of those times in life where relations with every single person in your life are a little sandpapery at best, a season of snags in every instance, tiny violences intentional and accidental blooming everywhere along with the branches of the early trees. All the time a low insistent drone at the back of your skull, the unlocking of the season ratcheting everyone's intensity up, causing us to chainsmoke and make mistakes.
All you can do is weather the storm, throw all the dead weight you can find overboard as you reframe what does and does not constitute dead weight under present conditions, and use whatever you can catch hold of to stay alive. Try not to make as many mistakes as you want to.
Hold the center.

Personally I have always had a tricky relationship with early Spring; it can really fuck me up. I have made some really terrible, even fantastically terrible decisions at this time of year.
Keeping it pretty steady this time around. Thankful for that.
