Hey, Kid!
Hey, you to you all as well, Folks!
I hope that this finds you well, as always!
Hmm.
I went to the Oddities and Curiosities expo here in Milwaukee over this past weekend.
It was pretty cool to see all of the weird, wild, wondrous things that they have to offer year after year, you know?
Animal corpses, bones, paintings, clothing, jewelry, you name it.
All strange and authentic.
They even had some live shows this year.
I picked up a few small things.
Nothing crazy of note.
I did grab some Red Sage and Palo santo, though.
My place could use a new vibe and a good smudge, lbvs.
A randomized Capricorn gift box.
A plethora of stickers for my laptop -very millennial of me, I know-.
An Avatar pin, the show, not the movie, lol.
I was even gifted a new hat.
Pair that with good friends, and it was a pretty damn decent day.
I was stood up by a woman that I met a handful of weeks ago this past Sunday!
LOL! But I made the best of the day, and even made dinner for my neighbors, as I tend to cook far too much for one man to logically consume.
Not a bad weekend at all, you know?
On a random sidenote, I didn't see my exe this weekend at the expo, and I was dreading that, so I am very happy that I didn't.
I don't hold any animosity or negative energy toward her; I just don't care to see or interact with her.
I wish her the best, as far away from me as possible, lbvs.
That Goth chick.
She who dragged and ruined me.
She who used and abused me.
I have been doing a lot of internal work, you know?
Healing and patching.
Scrubbing her from the walls of my mind and heart.
I feel really, really good as of late.
Lighter.
My mind is less foggy, and my anxiety is lower.
I find myself smiling for little to no reason.
I am good.
You know what it kinda reminds me of?
The movie Hancock starring Willard Carrol Smith.
He was a lost, powerful being who was looking for himself and love.
He found it, only for it to tear him apart.
Only for it to weaken him profoundly just for being in its presence...
He had to get away from the one thing he thought he loved in order to become that much better and stronger.
Enough about me, lol.
I will let you all get to the meat of the meal, and I will see you all back here soon enough!
Enjoy!

Dear You.
How's life treating you?
Good, I hope!!
*A smiling face is drawn here.
I know it's been a while,
As always... Just busy
Here on Terra.
Having a body is cool.
Weird.
Scary.
Hard... Fun.
Strange...
But soon, (I hope)
You'll have one too!
And we will love it.
No matter what.
*A heart is drawn here.
-Dad.

Hmm.
-I am pretty sure I was high during this entry, lbvs.
My earliest days of smoking were very...hippy-like.
I would become very jubilant and probably twenty times more susceptible to manipulation and love-bombing.
Of course, this was to the advantage of those around me who had their own plans for my kindness and well-being.
Hmm.
Some people can be extraordinarily selfish, you know?
All we can do is live, learn, and avoid those types of people in the future as best we can.
-I've always had baby fever, and I still do...
I don't think that will ever go away.
Such is life.
Some of us are blessed with the gift of parentage; some of us are not.
Such is life.
-As for you? Still no physical body that I am aware of.
Maybe...
Maybe you just aren't meant to be.
Maybe I shouldn't give up just yet.
I don't know.
I guess we will see how things look by the end of this book, yeah?
I will leave you all at that, and I hope to see you all back here soon.
Safe travels as you move about, Folks.
You too, if you are out there, Kid.
As always.
Stay safe.
Stay healthy.
Stay vigilant.
-Redd.
