Today is not a good day.

I'm not sure where things will fit, and I apologise in advance for any confusion I bring.

In spite of my efforts to be clear, I confuse. Everything feels like an overreach, that I have fumbled into better position than I deserve or earn. Sidestepped hardships by accident and fallen onto my feet at a run ahead of the starters gun. Lauded for crossing the finish line first when I didn't even know I was in the race.

Somehow even with all my luck, I am never enough for the things I strive for.

Position, promotion, purpose, pointless.

My arms shorten as raise them, fingers fail to fold around and grip, eluding. Everything I am is a dice roll in someone else's game.

The days are easier when I can accept I am less. Watching things unfold and filling minor supporting roles that create no risk of drama seems where I am most apt. My ego rises and I have to remember to punch it down. Jam my fist in my mouth and keep my head bowed. Rally against myself as the common enemy til I am numbed by the bruises and left in the corner.

Time to make another appointment.

Helarctus.

Hello Hellarctus,

Nice to hear from you. Is it a bear of some sort?

My favourite animals are possibly sloths. I actually have 4 different sloth shirts - one is a wookie sloth, I have a sloth on a bicycle, an astronaut sloth and a sloth on a turtle.

Sun bear, Helio = sun Arctus = bear,

That is why the north pole is the Arctic (it has bears) and the south pole is the Antarctic (no bears).

Not a good week, head down and getting the socially acceptable requirements met.

Well, I've learnt something today!

Sorry to hear you're not having a good week, but it's nice to hear from you anyway. Take care, and let us know how you are going whenever you feel up to it.
