Rufus Shepherd

My name is Rufus Shepherd. You followed me here. We are each others' secret sharer.

Betty White passing at 99 instead of the 100 everyone was expecting shows it really doesn’t matter when you die, everyone around you will adjust. They have to. #RIPBettyWhite

Major highlight of our for-profit health care system is that it won't consider "eyes" and "teeth" to be part of the body.

I would like you all to just leave me alone. I don’t want to be anyone’s friend.

[Rufus Shepherd @rufusshep]

I just don’t know who to say this to, so the internet seems like a good choice.

[Rufus Shepherd @rufusshep]

People think I’m ok, but I’m not. Not really.

[Rufus Shepherd @rufusshep]

I just want you here with me…

EVERYONE. Someone was wearing their mask below their nose and was about to sit next to us on a flight and I winked and tapped my nose and HE PULLED IT UP.

I love this for everyone involved.

She was hard on cars, hard on the plumbing and hard on people. Her touch felt like a hammer.

People tell you how they would feel of you were dead but the same folks never care how you feel about being alive. People only care about themselves.

The best way to remember me when I’m gone is to forget me and live forward.

[Rufus Shepherd @rufusshep]

Read a post from someone with a fear of abandonment and realize I have a fear that people will never leave. Is that a thing? Still feel alone a lot…

[Rufus Shepherd @rufusshep]

I miscalculated everything.

[Rufus Shepherd @rufusshep]

Age forces excitement into fear, love into obligation. Only the young think they can escape this.

[Rufus Shepherd @rufusshep]

My life has gotten too small. This will not end well.

[Rufus Shepherd @rufusshep]

I don’t want to steer anymore, but I also don’t want to get thrown overboard.

[Rufus Shepherd @rufusshep]

Dear men; nobody cares what you feel. Really, they do not.

[Rufus Shepherd @rufusshep]

There will always come a time with you and me where I will be “too much.” Most of my time is spent holding back to delay that moment. 😔

[Rufus Shepherd @rufusshep]

What day did you just give up, the day that marked the time when it won’t ever get better, that every day forward will just be like today and yesterday before. July 31, 2008.

[Rufus Shepherd @rufusshep]

I ache.

Fun fact nobody ever tells you: grandparenthood is matriarchal.
