Some burn to the ground
Others removed brick by brick
Redesign for the times
When the lease comes up
Or just fold up

When you have a bad day and need a reason...

Formerly: New Zenith To Hell…(all started with arc as writer here from the trials of Rising Stars to Preferred Author to WDC Quills Best Poetry Collection...

"Whoever fights monsters should see to it…he does not become a monster.” - Some guy, I guess. Look it up?
I’ve been to the abyss and back. Not so bad.

The loneliest happy person you'd ever meet, when not the saddest person who needs to be alone.

In an ever-changing world, we need to handle topics at the ready. If you roll over and give in to the narrative without lending a voice, might as well hand over your civil liberties. Voices could connect to true conscience and spirit for honest and open discourse. Why feel so redacted?

Unify on issues or don't but put drama aside. Open minds require complete objectivity. Or, agree to disagree and have a beer. Just writing what I feel without the narrative-altering mind f---ing with my head.

[MY Chorus]
In your house, I long to be
Room by room, patiently
I'll wait for you there, like a stone
I'll wait for you there, alone
- Chris Cornell, RIP

"Some other stuff"
I'm in love with carefully chosen words, arranged just so, audible, edible, to inhale. I attempt to post new poems and epiphanies daily with some links to what inspires.

I am legally blind with a rare, genetic form of glaucoma. I'm described as "end stage" after two successful surgeries, still subject to further vision loss. Cataracts complicating matters. Writing Can get strenuous but seldom deters what yearns to emerge, despite a documented history of depression and recently diagnosed ADHD and undefinable social disorders and/or PTSD. Ammunition, or blanks?

My recent poetry:

BOOK

The Absence of Wavelength and Sight

(18+)
A nothing from nowhere cast his words to a world wide wind, hindered by periphery.
#1149750 by Brian K Compton, fry PBB 4 me

Sometimes epiphanies about my insights on writing and life and what goes on...

"Blah, blah, blah"
Making sense of life is maddening. Why do I need to know, when truth may not actually exist? Learning to accept would be a better pursuit? Flailing about in my own mediocrity, hoping to bust out.

I am visible. You can put a face with a name. I would like to see other writers, too. Fiction is what you write, not who you are.

Reinventing myself. I couldn't continue on the path I was on and needed a fresh start. This time around I want to put the focus on writing and the world outside of this community as it affects my life.

I realize now that I have been baring my chest a bit more, as when young. fake me much more boring and unliberated than the real me.

A world arriving as silent as that blossom in your garden that I told you about...

Furthermore, more googling:

AI Overview
Empathy in the autistic

While both autistic adults and adults with empathy are common, the experience of empathy in autistic individuals can be complex. Some autistic individuals may have lower levels of empathy, while others experience heightened or "hyper-empathy". The experience of empathy in autism can also be characterized as a form of empathic disequilibrium, where emotional and cognitive empathy are out of sync.

Empathic Disequilibrium:
Research suggests that some autistic individuals may have lower levels of emotional empathy compared to cognitive empathy, leading to a disconnect between understanding others' emotions and feeling them emotionally.

Hyper-Empathy:
Some autistic individuals may experience heightened or "hyper-empathy," where they are intensely attuned to and overwhelmed by the emotions of others.

Varied Experiences:
Empathy is not a uniform trait in autism. Some individuals may struggle with recognizing emotions, while others may be highly sensitive and empathetic.

Empathy as a Spectrum:
Empathy exists on a spectrum, and individuals with varying levels of empathy are common in the general population.

Developmental Factors:
Empathy is believed to develop over time, and individuals may exhibit varying levels of empathy at different stages of their lives.

Social Communication Impairments:
ASD is characterized by difficulties with social interaction and communication, which can impact how individuals experience and express empathy.
ASD Support:
It is important to note autism can be diagnosed later in life, and individuals may benefit from support and understanding their unique experiences with empathy.

Kåre เลียม Enga

Stop on by. I’ll give you one of ours.

This is Onyx. No one can have him.

He’s the guy that plays tag. He goes and hides where he thinks we can’t see him and calls out for someone to chase him.

He’s barely a cat.

I wish I had a cat. I'm alone too much when I'm in Montana. I love saying hello to cats and dogs.

Worries: One Word At A Time

I never heard the expression ‘no worries’ before I got here. It’s pervasive at WDC, where I don’t approach it outside of a few character responses in the various mediums. Caught myself using it a few times.

The hot word I’ve noticed in my every day life is ‘perfect’, usually delivered enthusiastically, often in response to answers to questions. I reject it, but catch myself.

I talk to myself when something works out and say or think, ‘perfect.’ ‘No, ideal,’ self-correcting.

It’s ear-worms like these that give one the realization mind-speak could be ever-present in our every day lives.

*no meds yet*
Just warming up.

Was this post:
A-helpful
B-illuminating
C-perfect
D-a waste of the last 30 seconds and you wish you had a Time Machine?

You and me, buddy.

Keep it positive…
The children are our future…
It is what it is…

Can’t have enough door dash in our lives.

I Marvel…Underwear

I can stare at a discussion thread for hours, and marvel it how many good points people make. I’m all for simple, but somehow I manage to get my head so far up inside something it is difficult to pull it out. In a roundabout way, saying, too bad it’s all just a waste of time and energy. When so many good commenters can’t find common ground or a good consensus to make it possible to move on with one’s own life and not get hung up.

That is where modern day discourse fails, because we don’t accept the holes inside of the known to receive the emptiness of unknown. We can stand back and just marvel at the mystery and move on to the next thing.

And when the lights go out at the end of the day, I am not so obsessed that I will go back and ruminate on unsolvable things for many more hours. But also, if prevailing topic that meets my eye on a consistent basis, I will not shut it out. I keep an unconscious, yet vigilant awareness…every little detail that stacks/stores as circumstantial evidence in the back of whatever collective memory. And when you do, evidence presents, some potential piece to introduce to the rest, examined for its worth, decide if it be memory pile or thrown in trash.

The thing is, trash never meets the curb. Old subjects will never die. And even though we say we are done with something, it eventually finds a way to bite us in the ass, meet our eye, and decide, are you trying to make me feel something? if we need to turn around, whether to react, before we actually act, which feeds into a whole other narrative. Lines drawn around arguments usually suffocate to find air. Begin anew?

This doesn’t have to happen — unless the unholy mess of circumstance becomes so overwhelming that it’s undeniable what the true answer is. You stand on the lone side of that table, grinning ear-to-ear. You can deny this reality and move forward with blinders on, but make sure you wear thick undergarments.

https://comicvine.gamespot.com/forums/battles-7/616-iron-man-vs-mom-scarlet-witc...

I’m Iron Man but not in reality.
I’m Scarlet Witch but not in totality.
These these two souls merge, rather than fight for non-sensical, ignorant reasons, more dangerous to one another. Fire is within. You don’t want to feel what I’m protecting them from.

10.14.23

Worlds can collide, given space and time, throw in delusional math…variables with variables can intersect, intercept if I incept correctly. Let’s hope an ADHD addled but highly functioning mind be not adapted by AI…and, how that would work. We have just flimsy fantasy. Reality is so much bigger.

Post Graduate 14!

More than meeting the requirement.

This is what I do when I'm bored.
This is what I will do to you, if I get bored.
I will post and post and annoy the crap out of people with inane, bnoorish nonsense like this that gets me shoved in a corner to think of more mischievious things to do that you will have to notice and can't do anything about. You could do something...

Just messin' around.

Or, am I?

evil laugh...cough...evil laugh...walk away...*note to self, call mother about that time I was six*
