a little overwhelmed 
by this whole
revisiting 
charlotte 
BUT 
there is stuff with family
&
I don't know how to talk about that
& jason keeps posting stuff
& I'm starting to feel 
LIKE 
I'm not handling myself 
LIKE 
I don't know if it is 
I'm a little down 
I guess 
it seems to me
LIKE 
MAYBE 
I don't have MUCH 
CAPACITY 
I'm NEGATIVELY judging myself 
I do not feel like
I OWE jason 
I find him
disturbing and triggering 
I don't want to go see him
I don't feel like 
I've recovered from
our previous encounters 
BUT 
I feel like
THAT SOUNDS CRAZY
& I have had this
NEW
idea of myself 
I was ALWAYS AFRAID that
I would end up in an
ASYLUM or SOMETHING 
BUT 
now I'm LIKE 
there's an option I didn't 
CONSIDER 
NO, just neurodivergent
BUT 
then I felt LIKE 
I LOST something 
LIKE 
MADNESS is artistic 
that whole creative literary tradition 
AND
what about PSYCHIC spiritual 
ON A MISSION 
all of that FEELS disrupted
LIKE 
I need to be repacked
ALSO
the art supply situation 
was more complicated than I made it sound 
I've talked about it before 
I felt like maybe I misrepresented, earlier 
BECAUSE 
I was just talking about one aspect
THEN 
I read a sub stack by the boston college mainer 
& I'm on the VERGE 
of freaking out 
AGAIN 
about the state of the country
SO
THIS is not going well
THIS think-y thing
DOWNward
SPIRAL
& then I don't want to write all that to you
BECAUSE 
AaaaAaaaAaaakkkkkkkkkkkk
isn't SEXY or FUN
BUT 
for better or not
I made myself 
WRITE it
whether 
it makes sense or not
