Denied
from the beginning
First, it was the big fight the first night Daddy grilled steaks at the new house, the one that ended
with him driving to Savannah to walk on the beach, able to leave, the scent of charcoal lingering
Next, it was the movie I was supposed to watch for school.
Forbidden: not mature enough for content
Then it was all of the weekends in the middle of nowhere, ridiculed for sport by the other side of the family.
Then the friends turning
The boys using
The bosses denying
The first funeral exclusion
The ghosting
The lies to stop my wedding
The second funeral exclusion
All leading up to being dumped
By the one I gave life.

I'm a weirdo nerd who’s extremely subversive. I like rocks, incense, and witchy stuff. Intrusive rhyme bothers me. Some of my fiction might have provoked divorce proceedings in another state.😈

Julio, every summer you come back and make me relive these tortuous memories. Julio, do you remember the day you almost drowned? I do. Julio, I can't escape your punishment. Julio, I want to know why you cursed me. July, I remember our difficult times before July, when we couldn't start again.

Super Bowl LX Recap: A Team Called Hawks
Sixty. The Super Bowl turned 60! Still amazes me that this was the sixtieth Super Bowl played in NFL history. It seems like yesterday that I watched Super Bowl XXVII, the first SB I ever watched. The QB who won Super Bowl XXVII has since called a few SBs, and will call next year's game, but that's another story. Super Bowl LX took place at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, the home stadium of the San Francisco 49ers. However, it was one of their division foes who represented the NFC, as the Seattle Seahawks faced off against the New England Patriots.

It does seem sad. But very good, nonetheless.
Sad but beautifully 🦋🦋🦋
