Does my happiness upset you?
Why are you best with gloom?
‘Cause I laugh like I’ve got a gold mine
Diggin’ up in my living room

The Ben Harper version of Maya Angelou’s poem: Still I Rise. Maya is a fellow Aires!!!

I hope you’ve been enjoying my stories about my wild ride called life so far. I have been so used to keeping to the shadows and thinking that justice would never come for any of the members of my family, that I am very scattered at these latest developments.

It has been overwhelming and confusing to live my story and trying to explain events as they happened without letting some of my family member’s accusations of me color the narrative too much. I know I can be very defensive about some of these topics because for all of this time they have been gaslighting me that my criminal sister actually was my saintly role model and my abusive alcoholic of a father was just misunderstood, but still a very fine man. There were years I thought I had lost all of my marbles and that they were correct about the world as they had described it after all. Ew. That is not a very nice thing to do!

It has been an experience similar to escaping psychological torture. A very elaborate RUSE! The perfidy. We can call it operation: the emperor has no clothes.

Every time I said ‘hey look, the criminal is doing crimes’ every single member of my family said I was making it up because I have ‘liberal snowflake feelings’ compounded by ‘demons in my soul’. Thanks mom. Okay! No, bless YOUR heart.

The schadenfreude writes itself, you can’t make this stuff up!!

Thank you, good peoples of the free worlds, for encouraging me for all these years. We’ve had some UPS and DOWNS, I think it’s safe to say.

I really like the team I’m on now though. Somebody else can have my spot on my fam’s team. Somebody is gonna have to do the important work of thinking of different ways to turn a jail cell into a jail home cause I’m out! I will no longer be reporting for scapegoat duty!

Just regular Aires duties. We hate to lead but we don’t follow orders 🐏🥳🤣

How bizarre. The corporate clicky overlords don’t like the logical song?! I posted something like this on April 15th and it was deleted….. so here it is again?

I said, now, watch what you say, they’ll be calling you a radical
A liberal, oh, fanatical, criminal
Oh, won’t you sign up your name? We’d like to feel you’re acceptable
Respectable, oh, presentable, a vegetable.

What a time to be alive. Gotta make sure we know which liars to lie to in this day and age.

I’m not quite done telling some of my stories, but a new day is dawning so here is what I’ve made for now.

Old bones and rowdy stones. Acceptance and rebellion. In many ways my song remains the same. Tomorrow is my birthday and a little celebration is in order.

The dark may be rising, and so are we 🐏🪶♈️

But what if you fly?

Like calls to like. In those beginning days I felt anger like a river of fire through me. I didn’t want to touch it because fires like that burn human touch.

This very curious learning started to happen the more I learned about flames, the tools needed and the bonds that could be formed, the more I started to wonder if the other burning thing I knew, that river of fire coursing through me, could be tempered if I found the right tools.

Fire laughs when it meets other fire. There is no hesitation. The more it laughs the brighter it burns.

‘Can you help take this river of flames from me?’ I would ask the torch in the darkest of nights.

‘With delight.’ the flames said, ‘for like calls to like.’

So this is how I taught myself to deal with hot hot fiery emotions. I can’t grab them with my bare hands, but I can focus them to their kindred, the bright burning flames. I can add my voice to the combustion to forge new bonds. New stone houses for little pieces of earth magic and stories to live.

Silver likes it hot. The fire is happy to oblige.

It’s the final countdown!

Might as well get to some of the goods.

A rather scattered time. Scattered but more together than usual. The criminals gonna do their crimes and I can’t stop them but I can share their names. I can return to my work of not repeating their patterns. Easier said than done, turns out.

I am tired of grieving for love I will never have. It’s taken a long time and a part of my heart maybe will always mourn what she thought could be.

The world is tricky like that. Always turning on and on. I don’t have a lot of the answers, but I know that I believe in a beautiful and free world. I can tell you from experience that being forced into a system for which I do not fit is bad news all around. Not for lack of trying!

It’s an Aires thing probably. Teehee! 🪶

Can’t fight against the youth!!

Unless those b*tches are paying your bills, pay them b*tches NO MIND. Mother didn’t always say that, lol, but I wish she would have. It’s pretty solid advice!

I love the smell of schadenfreude in the morning.

Material: rude rubellite 🤣
Song: jailhouse by sublime
Ponder: the United States does not negotiate with terrorists. (Per many historical source references:: Air Force One, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Patriot Games, etc,.et.al)

THE DRAMA: PART THE FIRST

Some tea, some shade. Piping hot!

Who could have ever guessed that some old dirty liars turn out to be card carrying GOP members?! Looks like some chickens have come home to roost for my mommy dearest and her remaining golden idol, Michaela! Miss complicity herself.

Does anyone know the definitive jurisprudence on the quandary presented by the chronicle articles? What should be done now?

I am no lawyer. But there seems to be some perfidy afoot 😆

THE DRAMA: PART DOS.

Life can be very very funny sometimes. I think we recently went over schadenfreude so this fits right in with the theme!

Who woulda guessed it but some members of the ‘party of family values’ are actually dirty old liars?! The buffoonery abounds.

Please do tell me; do innocent people usually plead guilty and then try to prove innocence? I don’t believe they do, unless they are complicit in the riggory.

We have some straight up tom foolery.

Before you yap at me about snitchin, let’s point that arrow in the correct direction. The golden snitch is the dingus that got her crimes published in the paper 😇

And then one day in April, I wasn’t even there
For there were many things I didn’t know…

Sayin’ someday you’ll understand

Well, I’m here to tell you now, each and every mother’s son
That you better learn it fast, you better learn it young
‘Cause someday never comes.

But what if it did. What if someday is today and them is you and this is your life.

Are you going to sit back because it looks hard? Are you going to scuffle and shirk because you doubt?

You are responsible for your talent. You either stand for something, or fall for anything.

Day 5

Flight. Perspectives. Exhilaration.

Material: aquamarine
Song: Don’t stop me now by Queen
Ponder: Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.

What it is, it ain’t.

But

What it ain’t, it is.

Something about all that glitters and isn’t always gold and to add a little Jesus book reference- you probably shouldn’t give your gold or worship to Philistines coming out of whited sepulchers.

I was listening some of the time 😉 How disappointing that we have created and embrace systems that make criminals and predators feel protected while normal people are left to clean up their messes.

Day 4

We go on and on and on. My enthusiasm for freedom was about to runneth over. There’s airplanes in the next part 🛫🛬

Material: fossilized ammonite
Song: you’re time is gonna come by Led Zeppelin
Ponder: whatever you are, be a good one.

Things were going to be different. And they were also going to be okay.

Anxiety means you feel the pain of the blade before the axe has fallen. Anxiety can make you doubt yourself, just like Neo.

There is no spoon.

I have met many helpers along the way.

Now I have some to teach, but still even more to learn. Not all heroes wear capes, they usually have better fashion sense than that. Capes are generally impractical 💁🏽‍♀️

Day 3

Almost outta the young years, I do not like it here. Remembering some of the good parts is part of the work to replace the shadows left by the bad parts.

We go on.

Material: psilomelane
Song: hi my name is by Eminem
Ponder: damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

Well. Then, by all means, let’s DO earn our trouble. It’s Aires season 😈

Another day, another story.

The tale of how little fly free became big fly free. Human experiences often teach us more about our similarities than our differences. That’s why we like hearing each other’s stories so much.

Day 2.

There are many miles to go before I sleep yet. Next chapter tomorrow.

Material: labradorite
Song: mad world, Gary Jules
Ponder: We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.

Carlos Castaneda.

Interesting reinterpretation of Newton’s third, wouldn’t you say?
