I’m Feeling Inspired by Heroin
More. I want more. I want more gratitude. No, I’m not asking to receive it towards me, but rather I want to feel it from me and in me more…more naturally and more often. Gratitude has the power to heal the mind, the spirit, the body – all of it. Can you imagine if we felt it course through our veins like the most potent heroin you could buy? And no needles required! (Well, for the heroin-gratitude that is. I guess I still need my insulin injections, yes?) Heroin catapults me to the softest white sand beach, the sun warming my bones and the water shimmering in the light like turquoise crystals. Then, a dolphin joins…
So What, I Can’t Sing?!
I’m alive, I’m ALIVE, I’M A….LIIII…VE!! Sorry. I’m not shouting. I’m singing! (Kinda the same thing? Maybe?

Mostly when I’m doing my hair and makeup in the morning (or afternoon on those days when my bed refuses to release its clutches from my body, or I’m moving in slow-mo and it’s taken me an hour to froth my fake latte.

When Dangerous Metal, Charli XCX and a Barn Conversion Meet Up at the Hospital
‘But is dangerous metal going to rip out of your stomach?!’ Her hospital uniform gave the air of medical education, but couldn’t possibly qualify her for my situation. ‘I guess we’ll find out? It’ll be fine. The surgeon said don’t worry about it so I guess we won’t?’ Boom. BANG BANG BANG BANG DOOOH DOOOH DOOOH DOOOH Plus…the keyboard portion of ‘I don’t care’ by Icona Pop featuring Charli XCX (Have a listen below) cranked to max volume – but just the keyboard part. And the drums. Yes those too. I was lying down, but I wasn’t dreaming, although it was an absolute migraine nightmare. Airnailers shooting metal through metal,…
