On edge
hello friend breathes I have never been this on edge for this length of time. The way I feel now is how I felt about 3 weeks ago but it only lasted a night. The time before that was maybe 5 years ago. I get up. Go for a run.

Anxious as hell

The Netherlands

Christmas complexity
hello friend This is the end of a week, month, year and decade. How are you? Was Christmas ok? We spent it in a pocket universe. We normally spend it at my in-laws who live around 350 miles away. Christmas for me is difficult because I’m taken away
