Colleague called out my big balls.
Now I can retire satisfied w my career.

Mr. Abstrusery basically pulled out a “Hashtag Blessed” when I asked him if it was as weird to him that we’re shockingly stable in year 19.

I need my new therapist to be less Neil Armstrongy.

I just muttered to myself, “Fucking white people.”
It’s not an effective cry for help if that’s what I’m attempting.

@treydayway I think about this almost 1x a day 2 years later.
Sometimes omitting “drunk.”

[Abstrusery @Abstrusery]

My out-loud-to-myself expletives delight me in their unplanned catchiness.
“F ‘em. F ‘em hard, F ‘em loud.”

[Abstrusery @Abstrusery]

How close are we to seeing self-identification as “‘high-functioning’ neurodivergent”?
Admitting a problem is only the *first* step.

[Abstrusery @Abstrusery]

I need help settling an imagery disagreement.

Welcome to my, “Yes, but with gin” chapter.

Tell me you’re watching too much HBO…:
Could I have been wrong about cocaine this whole time?

[Abstrusery @Abstrusery]

“Feel less” is not career advice.

[Abstrusery @Abstrusery]

Am I more fun unsupervised?
I make worse decisions and still remember when that was the same thing.

In-person court-ordered traffic school = most random array of RVA-area peeps I’ve paid to join.
(Richmond Cir. Ct. jury empanelment remains unqualified category winner.)

[Abstrusery @Abstrusery]

How conscious do I have to be that “I cannot [possibly] match your energy” sometimes reads cold and cruel?

[Abstrusery @Abstrusery]

That thing when you acknowledge you’ve grown into who you are.
Leaves room to breathe.

[Abstrusery @Abstrusery]

I confessed to a stranger that I’m raising a white dude.

[Abstrusery @Abstrusery]

@hoodyx “Thanks for confirming.”

[Abstrusery @Abstrusery]

I don’t have the emotional bandwidth to be sad and thin in tandem.

[Abstrusery @Abstrusery]

I spend excessive amounts of time concocting/attempting clever allusions to The Emperor’s New Clothes.
