Culdesac
down here on the path
beside the railroad tracks
with the freight train
slowly going by
the urge to hop on one
of the gravel laden cars
and let it take me
far away from here
is almost overpowering
as usual i do not
make the leap and
later i find myself
walking past the old man
with a broom sweeping
the street to where the path
turns back upon itself
out past the little girl
on her mama's back
who says hi
i try to smile in return
but all i can think about
is how did i ever get so lostJuly 9, 2015

All the grief and pain 😢
When I start writing this post, it's been almost a year since I had to say goodbye to Arwen. I still miss her every day, even with little Koa running around, being as wonderful as he is. It's true that I cry a little less over missing my gall now. But, course, writing that about her, I immediately start tearing up again, feeling ashamed that I stopped mourning over her wihin a year of her passing away. I know there is no "set time" to grieve, and we all deal with grief and emotions in our own unique ways. But yeah, it's hard for me to admit that, even with Koa making my life better again, granted that it's more challenging as well, I still miss having her around. And I feel ashamed that there are days where I don't cry over her anymore, as it feels like I am forgetting about her. I know these emotions and feelings are "silly" in a way, but that's "just" how I deal with things like these. Many things I am sharing in this post, I have shared in several previous posts. But, I didn't want to "just" link to the old posts, and I wanted to do credit to the dogs I was/am writing about, to tell it all in one complete post. So, sorry for the bits you already know, if you've been following my blog for a while now. And, I hope it all made sense to the new folks, welcome, who found this post one way, or another. 💖 […]https://cynnisblog.wordpress.com/2026/07/13/all-the-grief-and-pain-%f0%9f%98%a2/

Up, down, happy, sad, grateful, exhausted…
Life can take you into so many different directions. Some, you have some power over, by making certain choices, when the options present themselves. You never really know what your choice will lead up to, and there's always a "risk" involved, where things can turn out wrong, or not as you expected or hoped for. I know I need a routine. And that's been disturbed since Koa joined my journey through life. I knew this would mean a big disruption in my life, but I think I underestimated it a "wee bit". And, of course, life kssps going on, throwing all it can at you. When dealing with AuDHD, and with chronic illness, life is already challenging on a day to day basis. But now... I feel I am dealing with too much at a time, and I find it hard to keep going. But I want to do my best for Koa, to provide for him and his needs, and that means that I can't give up. No matter how much I am struggling. 😔 […]https://cynnisblog.wordpress.com/2026/07/10/up-down-happy-sad-grateful-exhausted/

Have I Finished Mourning Or Just Accepted It?
My younger brother, Bret, died tragically hiking in Colorado early last month. It’s hard to believe it’s been that long. I’ve been through all the stages of grief, but now I think I’ve settled on the acceptance stage.
It could be because my wife is recovering from surgery and I’m in charge of so much around the house. It could also be that I’m just in the acceptance stage and that’s okay.
I still think about him every morning when I wake up and realize that he’s no longer here. But it’s more like a realization than a sob or anything.
You know the elephant on my shoulders giving me a back rub? It’s gone too. I guess distractions help.
Does this mean that I won’t get hit with grief again about Bret dying? No. I’m sure I’ll be sad and crying at his celebration of life get together later this month.
I guess time lessens all sadness. 🤷🏻♂️
Update 7/12/2026: Yea, well it hit me again. I just had to concentrate on other things in my life for a few weeks. Now that things have died down the realization that Bret died hit me. Not like a ton of bricks, but got me down and sad. In 2 weeks we have the East Coast celebration of life for him. That’ll give me some much needed closure. I think what hits me the hardest is that we weren’t extremely close, and I feel like I could have tried harder. Bah! Oh well. Lot’s of “what ifs” will always be there.

Today was nice until it wasn’t.
I monuMENTALLY fucked up during a conversation with Juneau about an hour ago. I don’t want to go into detail but I feel really sad about it and also really guilty for feeling really sad about it because I don’t think I have any right to because I’m the one who fucked up. So I don’t really know what else to say here (or at all) since it feels like my mind has run completely out of words?
So I’m going to disappear for awhile and feel my feelings without making them anyone else’s problem.

Today's #Depression is not as bad. I am not entirely sure why, maybe I slept decent (Gummies help that), maybe I did something right yesterday, I am not entirely sure.
But I certainly woke up today in much less #sadness and woefulness than before.
Forever I'll be the #Emotional #CloudOps engineer.
I cant be the only one right?

Finding connections…
As most of you who follow my posts here know, I have been single for almost 8 years now. And, I think I am doing OK most of the time. But, sometimes, things happen, and I get these intense feelings/emotions of sadness/loneliness. A little while ago, I shared how I was triggered by something into these feelings, and how I reached out to a sweet friend, who gave me the support that I craved so badly at that time. For those who missed it, the post can be found here: Social interaction. And I think this post, is a follow-up on that post, in a way...

Holding shape but missing warmth,

The Joy Between the Storms….
Sometimes it feels like happiness arrives only long enough to remind me what I'm missing. And yet... Despite the fire ant. Despite the broken toes. Despite the cane. Despite crying when it was time to leave because the trip was over almost as soon as it began... There were still moments. A sunrise over the dunes. The sound of the ocean calling me into her waves. Walking hand in hand with Rob through streets older than most of our country.https://kandiblaze.wordpress.com/2026/06/07/the-joy-between-the-storms/

My mom passed away a month or so ago. I've been so tied up with funeral prep (and our vacation), it's not really processed in my brain.
But I've missed not texting her notes and photos from our trip.
And today someone asked me how my folks met and started dating and how Dad proposed -- and I realized I don't know the answers to that and so, likely, never will. Which is a #sadness.

The difference between humans in anime stories and actual humans is stark. In actual life, much of humanity is corrupt, selfish, and coercive, and while good parts balance these bad parts, the consequences to much of human living is morally gray and systemically complex, and human living could also be characterized as mundane, arbitrary, unjust, and largely devoid of the deep meaning shown in anime stories, though this is reasonably explained by the nature of chance, which actually rules human day-to-day lives.
Anime stories are like a sanitized, idealized escapist's utopia in comparison, where the humans being represented are often figures of a morally righteous light in a fairer world that has been optimized for meaning.

@Jacob_Wren I’ve lost everything , but my publication , and a fractured bestie group. The depression is the worst and I’m trying to get out of it but in a few short months I’ll be alone again against a sauce where both of my throuple members are gone and living happily ( which they should have that happiness and joy , I cry as much for them having that joy as I cry over losing them )
