Today I said my goodbyes to my daughter, dropping her off at her first year at boarding school. I am sad. My house will be empty. I'll be more alone than ever. But I'll work through it. One foot in front of the other. I made her a playlist. open.spotify.com/playlist/4Z7...

For Blue, from Dad

I will miss you. Enjoy the time you have. Be yourself. I love you, always.

My father took me to a midnight showing of Rocky Horror when I was 10. It was an amazing and memorable experience. The lyrics of this song were my quote in my yearbook. RIP Frankenfurter. open.spotify.com/track/0mpAxd...

Music Friday! The return. I've listened to AC/DC for over 40 years. While I respect Brian Johnson, I am more of a fan of the Bon Scot years. For me, the greatest album they put out was the live If You Want Blood, You've Got it. This is that concert. Amazing to see. youtu.be/ZhFkEXI3Zcg?...

New review on Goodreads. Curious though, this review reads the same as the numerous AI generated marketing scam emails I get every day. Makes me wonder if it is genuine. #booksky #beingbroken #IndieAuthorCommunity

New #painting 'Safe Space' 12x18"oil on canvas Sorry for not posting much lately, I've been in deep, dark hole the last couple of months. Things are looking a bit better, and I am hopeful to get through this. #CPTSD #arttherapy #artsky

Father's day with no father left to celebrate. I miss you dad. Father's day without my girl, she's with her mom, but she stopped by yesterday to drop some things off. Still sad, though. Spent the day sleeping in, gardening and starting the marvel universe movies. Just another day alone.

Icy hot The grip on my neck Cold water trickles Down my shoulders Into my chest Grips my heart A finger into my belly It spreads Seizing Freezing My guts My head wants to Split open And swallow all #poetry

I missed #worldnarcissiticsbuseawarenessday #WNAAD yesterday. Narcissistic abuse is not as well known as it should be. There are so many suffering out there from this very harmful abuse. If you think you are a victim, reach out to your local support provider. You are not alone. wnaad.com

More music Friday! Excellent progressive doom metal. These guys were my first #sober concert after treatment. I was so nervous I must have drank 3 pots of coffee that day. But the venue was accommodating and made me coffee, even though it was a small bar. youtu.be/omZx1uCQh2Y?...

It's done! 'The Weight of Emotion' (Mount Logan at Last Light) 3x4', oil on wood. I was scared to finish it. I was scared I would mess it up, but it turned out pretty good. #arttherapy #artsky

This is a validating study. I do hope the AMA recognizes that #CPTSD should be in the DSM. Maybe then more diagnoses can happen, support would be more widely available, and treatment more effective. drive.google.com/file/d/1Ck3m...

Watching this tonight. Dhurandhar: The Revenge. Really enjoyed the first one. Bollywood has put out some really great movies and shows recently. RRR, Bahubaali, Sacred Games, just to name a few. Any other recommendations are welcome. #moviesky www.imdb.com/title/tt3913...

Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers that are doing their best. Who support their children to the best of their ability. Who love their children for who they are, not who they want them to be. Who accept their kids' emotions and needs. Who are there when their children need them. You deserve it

Hello readers. I just want to share my book. I don't promote enough. It's won 7 awards now, with multiple runner-ups and honourable mentions. Makes me think that it might actually be pretty good. But, you decide. #booksky #beingbroken #IndieAuthorCommunity More info: geoffreyrjonas.ca

The #narcissist 's lies. To maintain their false self-image, someone with #NPD will lie often to maintain that image. It's not pathological, it's with intent and forethought. When they fear exposure, the lies will become more blatant and obvious, even when confronted with evidence to the contrary

May the 4th be with you!

More music Friday! I love this band. When I saw them years ago, it was one of the best concerts I had ever been to. The energy was through the roof! Just a great feeling. They've even coined their own genre, 'fuzz metal'. Enjoy! #musicheals youtu.be/pd9jy7vgYuI?...

Music Friday! Was never a huge fan of the cult, but they definitely had some bangers. Funny how age changes your appreciation of the past. #musicheals youtu.be/yx7tSFiQdTo?...

It's been 22 years, today, since my partner and I opened our business. It's started as a small music store. It grew over the years to include a tattoo & piercing shop, even an art gallery. Then we opened our cannabis store, moved the businesses together into a single building to be a small...

The pages lie there Unmoving, lifeless. Containing such Finality. A door closes. Locks. Fades into the distance. I stand, alone. The shadows creep in, On all sides. I clutch my chest, A pit grows. A tunnel into the past. It's sadness. The finality. #poetry

Of course... The first day I'm able to sit on my balcony and enjoy my book... The septic truck arrives at my neighbour's house to pump his tank. No thanks stank!

Let my 13 year old daughter drive home from the bus stop for the first time today. We live on a rural road so there is no traffic. They have graduated licensing starting at age 14 here. She did great. A long way from when I used to let her sit in my lap and steer. They grow so fast.
