I wrapped clouds around my finger. Cotton candy on a stick.
That’s where the habit of me wetting the tip of a pen before I started writing originated.
The sky was my canvas. How I pulled words out of thin air.
My eraser? The wind can be so dramatic. Always a huffing and a puffing when I make mistakes.
But the sun was like a chandelier. It highlights everything great.
I never landed on the moon, but I have rode pass it on my bicycle.
I was caught between a rock and a hard place like E.T.
But when I saw trees covered in toilet paper I knew I made it home.
I put my foot in the door and left it there for an hour before I walked inside.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
I see little yes in the hallway. Big yes in the kitchen. Yes men in the living room.
I know. I know. Some dads go to the store and never come back. But don’t call it a comeback. I’ve been here for years.
It’s just my mind that likes to disappear.
FY,
Har+new

When I started this blog, I didn’t expect anything. I was discouraged because I wrote things that were juvenile, because I was juvenile. I’m so thankful for the likes, and the people that are reading. It inspires me to want to continue to write this blog. It gives me hope that I can do anything I set my mind to. Thank you, for your encouragement!

Hell yeah!!! I just saw the “likes” on your post. Feminism has its supporters, as you see. Just don’t get discouraged if your next post isn’t equivalent in traction. I won’t let you discontinue the blog. That’s why I reminded you how long it was since your last post.
Keep going, Darryan!
