 I had a job lined up, but with great personal change came great societal
 change. And I got swept up. Now here I am, somehow finding myself blown on the
 winds of fate to stand atop a mountain and survey the lands below.
 
 I see the path to our bright future, and it is wide enough for us all to walk.

 turned out to be a fed, so...
 
 I do know people that you'd like to talk to, though. Just a few. That's all I

 if I do, then I'll be moving to a different city.
 
 a city that I don't know.

 at least I have a place to keep my stuff. maybe I can find a different job.

 I was such a different person a year ago. And I was twice as different two
 years ago. Throughout it all, I am connected by the thread of my life, and I
 could be those people again, if only the context would present itself.
 
 Who was I when I met you? Eh I think I'll be this way today. The clothes make
 the man, and I wear a hat.

 I've been sick the past couple of days. But today I pushed forward and did
 some good things for myself. I feel great spiritually now, when before I was
 struggling. The future is bright!
 
 On the magical side, i saw several meaningful numbers (like 1234 on the clock
 or 4:20 in a game) so now I'm going to embrace the good feelings and eat
 pizza, play flight simulators, and smoke a bunch of weed. Life feels pretty
 great right now. I hope that soon I find the courage and spirit to throw
 myself towards a large project or task, but for now I want nothing but
 serenity and joy in these moments divine. <3 ^_^ <3

 They say you don't need drugs to reach transcendent states of mind.
 
 But, I've found that forming yourself into a person who can do that
 necessarily changes you.
 
 I don't know if i want that kind of change. Are they all improvements?
 Perhaps.
 
 So, drugs are a nice option if you want to remain yourself yet also teach
 those states of mine.

 I refuse to be known by anyone who doesn't know me. But I'm always meeting

 perhaps they might come to know me.

 I feel like the longer you live in a zip code the higher a discount you should
 get on rent? You're becoming part of the social fabric by being there, and so
 in order to preserve that tapestry that others choose to be around, your
 presence should be encouraged.
 
 but this must also be paired with the increased ability to move, should you
 desire something else. If these two factors are kept in balance, it will
 empower people to stay where they belong (good) while also encouraging them to
 get out and explore the world (also good) - it'd also give them the ability to
 escape dangerous situations.

 Today the tone seemed to have shifted, there was a lot more resolution as I
 rode by. What a feeling, to be bolstered when shaking!
 
 Like swimming for land after just a bit too long at sea, or collapsing into
 bed after another day of wage slavery.
 
 I'm proud of that instinct, the sudden clarity of unified determination.
 
 I'm proud of that blessing, the gift of an ace of hearts.
 
 It's not June anymore, but I'm proud anyway.

 I smile at each and every person I pass on the street. Unless it looks like
 they're having a bad day, and then I try to switch to neutral as fast as I can
 so they can feel their feelings without me interjecting and making it about me.

 my grandpa died. now I have none.
 
 I realized I miss old people. I miss their friendly culture.
 
 I realized I hadn't talked to him for a decade or so. He didn't know I
 transitioned.
 
 I wonder if he missed me. I realized he missed seeing who I became. Is it
 unfair of me to not give him the opportunity to know me? truly?
 
 ... I am quite different now than I was 10 years ago. He probably doesn't
 remember.
 
 I miss him, but I hardly knew him. I don't like that feeling.
