THE DAILY UPDATE

I think one of the hardest things in life is to look back at all that is gone and realize that if you had just figured out your shit sooner it wouldn’t be so bad, it wouldn’t hurt so much, and you wouldn’t be so alone. I am finding it so incredibly hard to put some of the things from the past fully to bed because it feels as if the final chapter of some really important stories have yet to be written. I want to write them. Badly.

The distance some people want between me and them is understandable, but that doesn’t make it easier, and I find myself saying, “But if given the opportunity for just one more conversation, everything could be different … better.” Maybe I’m fooling myself. All I know is that I don’t know how much longer I can do this.


Something I’m grateful for today: A Mizzou bowl game victory.

Song of the Day: Black, by Pearl Jam

Meaningful lyric from the S.O.T.D.:

I know someday you’ll have a beautiful life
I know you’ll be a star
In somebody else’s sky
But why
Why
Why can’t it be
Why can’t it be mine

Something good from today/yesterday: Getting my home office cleaned and organized.

Something I’m looking forward to in the next seven days: Going away with Wifey Poo for a 2025 planning retreat.

Something I’ve written: Co-Mo Cares buys wheelchair for area third grader
