oh time [nov-13-2025]
Oh how time passes. I guess I've matured in the ways that matter and the ways that don't. I'm calmer about things, more mature; spending time away, moving to a different store, considering different career options and actually pursuing these options. That's the good thing; hell, I'm even working on passion projects again.
But reading my old journals has me upset - did it take me so long to be this mature? To disregard everything and abandon ego? I guess I'm being unspecific, but it seriously bothers me that I did the same thing for two years or more, the same obsessional thing I've always done and now I'm changed. But change is good - I'm genuinely at peace with myself, with how I'm going, if things change, and happy in the present.
But seriously, I need to do more. That's the one thing I need to do. More. Less work, more... living. I'm moving to the inner city, and I'm honestly excited. I keep on saying "this move" over and over
but it IS this move. i'm not in bumfuck suburbia with no bus.
i can get around, i can go LIVE
and i can do it independently or with the person i love. that shit counts
anyway, update gimme replies
peace feels good. not to jinx it though, i hope to keep my life this good. 2026 is gonna be my fucking year fr

Poet's Corner: two about November
Do you know any poems about November? Here are two well known to me.
---
November Night by Adelaide Crapsey
Listen…
With faint dry sound,
Like steps of passing ghosts,
The leaves, frost-crisp’d, break from the trees
And fall.
---
November for Beginners
Snow would be the easy
way out—that softening
sky like a sigh of relief
at finally being allowed
to yield. No dice.
We stack twigs for burning
in glistening patches
but the rain won’t give.
So we wait, breeding
mood, making music
of decline. We sit down
in the smell of the past
and rise in a light
that is already leaving.
We ache in secret,
memorizing
a gloomy line
or two of German.
When spring comes
we promise to act
the fool. Pour,
rain! Sail, wind,
with your cargo of zithers!
---
'Sail, wind, with your cargo of zithers' should be entered into the vernacular.
