HUMAN CONNECTION.

LIFE.

WE ARE ALL ONE.

have to keep looking inward to discover or to figure out where my anxiety comes from. where my people pleasing comes from. where my SHAME comes from. where my lack of confidence comes from. when did it start? why did it start? who helped start it? forgive them. accept them. accept my anxiety. once accepted it will begin to dissipate. learn to accept my feelings. the flow of life. practice the art of getting out of my own way. look inward (repeating myself). constantly look inward.

today could be the last day of my life.

woke up groggy. thought it was monday. a lot of wine and a lot of junk food last night. my mind is a little foggy. my body tired. this won’t last.

“this too shall pass.”

screaming kids and loud cars will not get me down today. i have a free day from the family, including murphy, so it’s a GET SHIT DONE DAY. cannot waste the day away with needless conversations and needless traffic. needless shows and needless learning of lines.

run in the great outdoors.

run on the trails.

run in nature.

long runs but slow.

slow and steady.

focused and deliberate. deliberately focused.

i will miss my family when they are gone. i always do. we never really do much together but when we are apart we all miss each other. strange. or maybe it’s not strange. we love each other but also get on each other’s nerves.

FAMILY.

i have a bloated stomach. my fault. myself to blame. why? i have eaten too much junk food lately. i have drank too much wine. choices in life. we all have choices. a man is hacking up a lung behind me. probably a smoker. unhealthy. many unhealthy people eating unhealthy foods and watching unhealthy content on tv. unhealthy lifestyles lead to unhealthy lives. then you die. buried all alone under some dirt and forgotten soon after.

today could be the last day of my life.

today could be the last day of your life.

last breath.

sadness sets in.

i still feel bloated.

sad.

bloated.

excited.

the “coughing man” still coughing. still unhealthy. still unaware.

did i take my concerta today? i grabbed the bottle but then forgot if i, actually, took my meds. i think i did. maybe i didn’t. not sure. unsure.

ACCEPT.

ALWAYS ACCEPT..

LIFE.

I NEVER WANT TO DIE.

another fabulous day on set yesterday. disney movie but a disney movie with lots of special needs kids and that created an amazing environment. lots of smiles. lots of laughs. a great energy. a great environment. listening more than talking. cerebral palsy and autism. kids are soooo innocent. sooooo honest. sooooo refreshing. there are so many great people in the world. i need to…i want to surround myself with positive vibes and positive energy. positive people. positive human beings. human emotions. vulnerability. humanity at it’s finest. old volkswagon bugs and then i hear loud bikes and loud people. the ying and yang of society. lots of love. lots of hate. lots of positivity. lots of negativity. lots of people. lots of opportunities. lots of successes. lots of failures. lots of life but not lot’s left.

I NEVER WANT TO DIE.

FEBRUARY 17, 1978.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2005.

LOVE.

how ironic.

great day on set yesterday. met many great people. told stories. laughs. more stories. vulnerability. looking at the spectacle and, instead of getting angry and getting frustrated, I laughed. too many directors. too many producers. too many clients. too many opinions. just a job for so many. but for many others it’s a community. garbage product that makes money but also spends money to make that money. stop judging. what do I want?
