I Would Have Never Met the Person I Loved in Person Before He Died

I’ve seen people become deeply ill after falling in love

And this very long week of connected thoughts is almost done!

Read this first, then scroll to the bottom to watch a vastly long video where I decided- instead of editing myself perfectly or making it have some catchy “hook”… let’s just be the longtime friends that most of us are, and if you wish you could FaceTime someone today who is feeling overly talkative and just get a mini Podcast, then here is a VERY long thought, that (like Irma Thomas) is straight from the heart?

Why abbreviate something that was just…. honest?

Why put on makeup and fake something that isn’t?

Why not just… be. Together. To end the week.

THANK YOU to those helping this independent memoirist continue to work by upgrading to paid (which also helps my goal of gifting this every-weekday-writing-world to anyone who asks for a reading scholarship, no questions asked)

So if you would like a full scholarship (getting to see every post), please reach out!

Still keeping to that Every Weekday Writing promise and SO grateful to anyone out there who supports and cares.

Thank you for being a Word Nerd here… and a friend.
