Things I Truly Love

I have had a bad stretch lately. I am guessing if you follow me, you are aware. Every day I am frustrated or anxious and it pours through my writing. I am not the kind of person who can fake my emotions. I wish I could, but what you see is truly what you get. Did not say that you wanted it, but you get the picture.

But I feel like I owe you some positivity. Hell, I owe it to myself. I cannot complain about being anxious or buyers backing out or…

See, here I go again. just like Whitesnake sang about.

Well enough of that today. I want to tell you about things I love. I think you deserve a little insight and a much more positive post.

Well I love my family. That is a given. My kids and family are my world. We have all gone through a lot but made it. I also will be sharing less and less online. Once in a while here but no longer on social media outlets.

I love writing. I still need a lot of work but after fifteen years of writing and tweeting, I enjoy being able to express my emotions through words.

I love pizza. I find that pizza is not as good when there are too many toppings. I am a cheese and pepperoni person. I also like a thicker crust. I am not a huge fan of corporate pizzas except Little Caesars. I just find that local restaurants, no matter where, seem to always do a much better job with pizzas. And frozen pizza is garbage.

I love art. It is an outlet for me to express my feelings and thoughts and share them with others. When I started people used to mock and say “it is just a stick figure, anyone can do it.” Well, I am going on five years making art. Over 2,000 people own my art. So I can finally say it is much more that a stick figure. It is everything around us through my eyes. And yes, I look at my “Lies Of Depression And Anxiety” art piece daily (Does not always work but helps) and when I say “Fuck Everyone Today” I always look at my dogs and tell them except animals.

I love Discovery Plus. I can sit there and just scroll through all the Homicide Hunters and American Monster and even the less known shows. It is truly the best six bucks a month you can spend besides a paid subscription here (Here it is five a month, what a deal!)

I love baseball. I grew up hating the sport. Like most people I found it boring and liked football and basketball more. But the more I got into baseball, the more I loved it. It is such a complex sport and it takes a tremendous amount of talent to play it.

I love Publix subs. They truly make great subs and never miss.

I love music. I am not into one band or anything. I just listen to music for my mood. I like it all. There truly is no genre I dislike. Lately I have been in a James Taylor mood.

I love the gym. It took a while but I am back at it. I love the sweating and the rush again. I am so thankful I do. I will say that when I am in the right headspace, it is the best to just push myself. I just need to keep remembering.

And finally I love you. Yes you people. The same people who bought art when they did not need to because I asked. The same people who left me kind messages when I was down. The people who support every venture I try. The same people who have stuck with me for years and have been through my best and worst. The same people who care about me as much as I care about them. I do not tell you enough how thankful I am to have you in my life. I got a message from someone who has followed my journey for ten years and finally decided to tell me thank you. It was beyond a good feeling. And as crappy as Twitter is or my anxiety goes through the roof, you are there. Yeah, maybe I snapped at you when I should not have. And you are still here.

In that same message. the person also told me that I saved their life with my words.

Ditto. Thank you all for being a part of me.
