Matthew Baldwin’s List of Mindfuck Movies: “

‘Some movies inform. Some movies entertain. And some pry open your skull and punch you in the brain.’

I couldn’t agree more.

The last few months have been a struggle. Certainly I was, and still am, glad to have her back in my life. The silence that existed without her was deafening. But the mistrust, the constant struggle, it blotted out the sunshine our relationship needed to flourish & grow again.

I certainly sowed the seeds of that mistrust long ago, and I tried to uproot that foul growth & replace it with something, anything, that was better.

Instead, after two heart-wrenching arguments, we let it go.

I’m sad, and angry, that I couldn’t make things better, but most of all I’m worried about her. She is very much not ok, and awkward as it may be, I want to be there for her, even if I am “just” a friend now.

A friend of mine I shared this with already read her post on this topic, and it offers more insight into why things didn’t grow & heal. Please feel free to read & comment there as well as here if you like.

Definitely the most people I’ve had over yet, & my living room is proof of that… oy. Totally worth it, but I have no idea when I’m gonna have time to clean; playing a wedding gig today (already loading in, here until about midnight), and I have a 10:30am shift tomorrow. Have to slowly chip away at it I guess…

My lovely lady, Amber, has written a marvelous bit on how it feels to be disabled, and it’s truly eye-opening, reminding me that just like everything else, the disabled people you see in movies are not necessarily real people. So go & check the post out: Not a Stereotype @ diabola in musica.
