I don't feel right. I'm rocking back and forth... stimming again. Looking for something to do, something to watch, something to play, fucking anything. But lately nothing feels right. I don't know what I feel. I just feel wrong. Writing it out sometimes helps. So I figured I'd do that here. I can't pinpoint when it started. I just need... something, I don't know. But...

@fredhincanada Lol, thanks man.

@samihain Thanks. It at least helps me figure out what's wrong, usually.

I started actively using threads a little over a month ago. And after a month of posting, I managed three sales. And today one of them, after having the book for less than a week, posted this.

I was grinning like an idiot for a few minutes after getting the notification. So, there's someone other than me who thinks that you should probably read The

Today I got my first royalties from selling The Ones Left Behind. It's nothing life changing, but getting $123.67 into my bank account from a book that I wrote is kind of awesome. Hopefully I can manage more sales to keep it going.

Do you ever just get the sudden urge to run away from everything? To just walk out of your life and never look back? I'm not talking about ending you life, just leaving it behind.

I'm sitting here trying to figure out things that I need to do. Trying to figure out how to get The Ones Left Behind to take off. Trying to figure...

@headshot It would be even nicer if I had woods to run to. Curse this damned desert! I know a change of scenery would help. But it's hard to accomplish where I live, especially with nobody to go with. Anyway, I'm feeling better today. Last night was just one of those nights.

@fredhincanada Realistically, I know the stability is too nice to give up right now. Maybe someday when my book becomes a success? 😂

Sorry @dicentra, it's taken me a while to get to this.

1. What made you want to join SG?

As much as I wish I had some grand story about why I joined... I originally joined to see these beautiful alt women getting naked. My original purpose here was that shallow.

2. How much do you use the website in your day to day life?...

dicentra:
This is such a heartfelt way to answer. Thank you. Your answer to 4 🥹 I am honoured that's how you see me and Fred is a great guy, too. I really hope more of us can work together to bring more community back again. I like your idea for question 7. I think everyone should be appreciated here, I'd love to see more equality. Don't worry about not being able to post much, it's okay to just rest for a bit when you need to. You're a great friend. Thank you again. ❤️
fredhincanada:
My friend, you have also impacted this community in positive ways, so we are always happy to have you here.  Always.

Haven't slept. Can't sleep. Seem to be having a fairly serious anxiety attack. Tempted to take a Xanax, but then I won't wake up until some time in the evening. Need something to de-stress that won't knock me on my ass for the rest of the day. I swear, every time I start to feel like things are looking up, my asshole brain kicks me...

@fredhincanada If only I had an Amée... And hey, if it works, it works. Though personally I don't know if touching a tree would help.

I'm so sorry. I hope your pain is easily fixable. 😔

Well, another year gone by. Another year older. But am I any wiser? Debatable.

39... It's a wild number considering I wasn't sure I'd make it much further than 30 at best.

Not for lack of trying.

But now that scar on my wrist is important to me. It's proof that I survived my lowest point in life. It's proof that I'm stronger than I...

I wanted to talk about this last time I posted about music. But that video I posted last time was heavy enough on it's own. Truth be told this song broke me. It's another one from that same artist, Ren.

The first part of the song feels like he's talking about being suicidal. But 'it never really felt like the right time'. The lyrics describe...

@eminerale I know that feeling. It really gets you the first time you hear it.
wolfwood1203:
@dicentra I'll take it, and send one right back just because.

It occurs to me that in ten days I'm going to be 39. I normally don't care, but something about this one hurts.

Oh right, my back.

My back hurts.

I'm old.

Fuck...

Eh, 60 was just another day, though a nice one, but back, knee and a shoulder keep trying to tell me that hill has been crested…

But I'm choosing to believe. In the two weeks that I've finally been active on threads to promote The Ones Left Behind (you knew I was going to include the link), I've somehow gained 113 followers. I know that's not a lot to some people. But to someone like me, it's insane.

For whatever reason, there are over a hundred people out there who decided...

I agree with you and both of these comments Wolfwood. You have already succeeded by completing the novel and getting it out there. The promotion work is hard - definitely give yourself credit for that century of engagement. It’s a tough market for writers. And out of that 100 there will definitely be readers who have connected with your writing on the deep level that you hope for. Every reader is a total blessing and I hope you can add to that number all the time. But be so proud of what you have already accomplished.
wolfwood1203:
@eminerale Yeah, I know. That's why I decided to do the best I can to stay optimistic about the future of this story. It definitely helps knowing I've got people like you three in my corner.
