Does anyone remember in 2020 where a lot of American English phrases were being analyzed in racial prejudices and people were endeavoring to fix their thought processes. Anyways, how’s infosec’s Black October going for you?

the next time i leave a function, walk away from a group of people, or put down my phone after a chat and my brain immediately tries to tell me, “you said too much” i am going to try so hard to remember this

OVERSHARE

Tell me of an overshare
and I will instead choose to witness
a courageous soul-care
an intrinsic laying down of mask
to brave the social scare

from more pain.

Show me an overshare
and I will see the healing glare
of sunshine after the rain
the feeling of defeat
that was actually the gain.

It is a love language, a gift
and I will give it again
and again.

Afterwards, I asked if he wanted a hug. He nodded & gave me a big bear hug. When it ended, he had tears in his eyes. “This is my neighborhood. I used to eat there all the time as kid,” he pointed down the road to a pho shop behind me. “I loved it.” “Now it’s all ruined.”
