12 years and 2 weeks ago
Time changes many things, pain, memories, loss, inspiration. They are all mutable.
New Day new goings on…
Hey,
Tomorrow is my sons birthday, and this means 12 years and 12 days ago My dad died eating a taco. A Stroke took him before any of us could get to him. There are a lot of back stories, explanations, subplots to this. I don’t remember him as a weak man, I remember the powerful one whom I respected. That has not changed or waivered. What’s changing is my understanding of myself.
I have been learning more about how people deal with trauma, more specifically what happens when they don’t, and then later how to repair some of the damage. It is interesting to know more about some of the tings I have experienced. Things that I thought were my personality, thing that I thought were me. Finding things like that out you realize change is possible, and that things you hate about yourself are not you. It slowly begins to change the voice in your head. The one who calls you an idiot, the voice of your imposters syndrome, the one who questions your integrity.

Now on to the next…
Back to the world of Nod, I started this project dealing with the grief of loosing my father. Learning who I was as a dad and in dyer need of understanding how to communicate with my kids. Is it wrong that I did that through bed time stories. Feels a bit strange hearing how people mourn in other families, some are even impressive and healthy as hell. Others hehe oh man I thought I was screwed up.
Well to each their own. Right now I am trying to focus on healthy decisions. It can be difficult to handle things like that when you get raised to be a fool by fools. But hey if it weren’t for me being a fool my friend Why would I be in love with drawing comics?
As it is my friend.
Head in the clouds and my heart in my books.

I have been enjoying Dimension 20 a lot these past few weeks. Listening to gaming is rarely entertaining when you are yourself a damn good GM. You find critical points of view on a lot of the goings on. In this case the work being done at that table is inspiring and so many lovingly made stories are just woven together in a fantastic way without fear. fear of judgement from the players free of judgment form the creators.
The lack of Fear is the inspiring part.
