The other night while falling asleep, I felt my brow furrow tight. I dismissed it as nothing more than something that came along with that time of the month. Then in yin yoga a few nights later, the teacher came over and told me I was furrowing my brow and that she could see it from across the damn near dark studio. That got me … Continue reading Furrowed Brows
June…half Corvid-19 and half semblance of normality. Felt weird to sit in a bar and have a drink, yet felt normal to be back at the gym. Mentally, I was the same. Feeling weird and feeling normal. Feeling half of this and half of that but not necessarily a whole something. The image to right sort of sums all the mental feels. I’ll be honest, … Continue reading Songs of My Life: June 2020
The buzzing noise in his head echoed louder and louder, covering the silent whispers from his mind or were they in his mind? Maybe they were just the silent whispers of his television? He couldn’t tell. His reality blurred between him. Flipping between the vision of the television snow and his living room. As plain as it was, it was his. Comfort and quiet. How … Continue reading Turn Me Off Please
The sound of the sirens woke him. It was getting closer. No. It was growing further away. No. Definitely closer. Paralysed, he laid in his bed with eyes pinched shut. Listening. His brain swelled with pressure as the siren echoed in between his ears, reverberating between a soft hum and a shrilling ping. There had been no weather warnings that day. The weatherman had forecasted … Continue reading The Sound of Sirens

Groove {slang}: to appreciate and enjoy to please immensely Groove. That was what May was about. Finding my groove. Getting into the groove. Grooving along. Groove. The theme was in the song titles, the music itself, and in the way I was feeling within.

I’ve been in Australia since 13-November 2015 and chasing that Australia dream since my feet hit the ground. Half of the first year, I had a place to stay, in the basement of the family I helped take care of and then moved into a studio. When I moved into the studio, it was perfect at the time and perfect for me at the time. Just … Continue reading Feels Like Home
It’s time to move out and to continuing growing up. Literally and figuratively. This is my last Saturday in my very first apartment here in Sydney. I’ve lived in an Art Deco building built in the 1930s for 4 years now. The apartment has been nothing but good to me. Giving me the sanctuary I needed from the world outside when needed, entertaining me with … Continue reading Moving Out and Growing Up

April has been ONE. VERY. LONG. MONTH where seconds seemed like minutes. Minutes seemed like hours. Hours seemed like days. Days seemed like months. I’m over isolation. I want normality back but I will do what it takes to flatten the curve and keep others safe. Even if I’m fucking miserable. Mentally, I have my ups and downs. Mostly ups with moments of “Quarantine Dumb” … Continue reading Songs of My Life: April 2020
