“I cannot move as I stand
here, bruised nose
from the slammed door
yet another in my wake
in this never-ending hall
of moments lost
and forgotten,
but I move down the line:
knocking on empty chances.”

Why is it the sweetest rewards only song to us on the other side of hardship.
Peter Parker is initially targeted as a means to ensure cooperation by Tony Stark. This eventually spurs into something different, and the spider is caught by someone much worse than his original kidnapper. Peter's a very popular target when it comes to kidnapping, and somehow, Tony Stark must find a way to get his kid back after multiple subsequent kidnappings.

Day 1 again. Hi Day 1. We’ve become very good friends lately
I will not drink today. But I will take a shower and go on a walk and meet with my therapist.
I feel so all over the place.

The anxiety built up. I kept sitting there in a daze, unable to concentrate & subconsciously holding in my breath (as if to block out pain).
Then I gasp and come to. Idk a weird fugue state.
I’m such a talker and yet when it comes to describing what I feel or why….I often find myself speechless. Riddle me that lol.
So I sat on the bathroom floor and cried. Had to force the tears at first but then it was like a dam breaking loose.
Then my husband held me and soothed me and he really is the best.
Ok see, I just have to remember that I am loved and seen and cherished - so it’s not the end of the world!
It felt so cathartic to cry. To really sob. And poof, it feels a little less scary now. You know, life.
One day at a time. Each day a little better and brighter.
Fish-uary Day 6: Catfish/Pleco (Arthur)
A few years ago, around July 2020, I started in the fish keeping hobby and kept a little betta. A few months later, I decided to get a catfish to keep the algae at bay. Little did I know that the pleco my mom got for me was a suckermouth catfish, or hypostomos plecostomus. I named him Arthur.
I tried taking care of Arthur the best I could, kinda hard to do since he's little but also in a 20 gallon long tank. He got bigger, and that made me happy, but then something happened to him and he passed away suddenly in December 2023. I hope I made him happy, even though I wasn't the best.
Keep on swimming, Arthur, wherever you are.
