Hey there, Kid!
Hey there, Folks!
How have you all been?
Good, I hope!
As for me?
I have been just fine.
Tending to my inner child.
Patching up all the holes and soothing the scars.
Make sure that you all look after the child that lives within you.
I can stress how important that is.
How important mental and emotional health is.
I have been building Lego kits and piecing together the small world that I wanted in my youth.
A small village!
A space station!
A villain base!
Sometimes things take time.
Dreams tend to take the longest.
I am 37, you know?
Time is subjective to our wants and needs.
We have no choice but to heed its constant march and detour when we can and are able.
Take the time to slow down and do those things that you enjoy and love, okay?
Life is quite short, yes, but if we allow it and let ourselves enjoy the moments, it can be quite long and fulfilling.
I will let you all get to what you came for, yeah?
See you back here soon, Folks.
You as well, Kid.
Enjoy!

Dear You.
Hey there, Kid.
How have you been?
Well, I hope.
The past weekend was not bad at all.
I am not one for holidays; nonetheless, Easter was just fine.
I spent Saturday with XXXXX.
Always a good time.
I "simp" for her so hard, lol.
For real.
I can't and will never be able to help myself.
She is very akin to the air that I breathe.
That should age well, lol.
Even now, we are not a couple, just a couple of friends.
But even in that, she is a huge pillar in my life.
Her aura just heals me.
Her energy bleeds so effortlessly into mine, and patches little holes...
It is crazy, and amazing, and terrifying all at once.
I really do love this woman.
The rest of my weekend was spent with my Mum.
Your grand Mum.
She is wild, vibrant, loud, proud, and strong.
I hope, as you read this, you know and have met her firsthand.
The world has been in a chaotic place...
I hope she is alive and well when you get this.
And everyone else close to me.
And XXXXX?
We have been broken up for about... A month or so?
The detachment is slow and painful.
I can't lie.
But it is also very necessary.
Very.
-Dad.

(Snaps back into 2026 with a strange feeling that I may have left a handful of Lego bricks back in 2022... I hope my ex steps on them! Lol.)
Hmm.
- Well, I've never been a fan of holidays, and that has yet to change, lol. Maybe if I have a kid someday, that'll change how I feel about them.
- I definitely was a simp for her. If you aren't from North America, you may not know that this is a slang term for a man who dotes on a woman and gives her what she wants.
I have never seen that as a negative thing, but many people here do. I think it's strange to see the action of doing for your significant other as a bad thing, lol.
- I found myself falling in love with her again as I was growing more distant from the woman I had just left. She was also saying all the things that my heart needed to hear with no intention of ever following through.
Bah.
- Of course, that didn't age well! LMAO. We were never meant to be a couple, just a couple of fuck buddies.
I wish people could just say that casual sex is what they want, and not lead people on, you know?
If you want sex from me, let me think on it and see if that is what I want as well. But don't be a dick and activate my emotional core with no intention of ever feeding it.
That is cruel.
- I am very empathic, so I tend to pick up on the emotions of people around me quite easily. The problem with that is learning how to actively take in others' emotional energy without letting them directly pollute and affect your own.
- My Mum is a character.
That is the single best word to describe her, truly. I am sure that a lot of my grit and humor come from her branches of my family tree, as my father is a much more serious man. I have never had the best relationship with my Mum, honestly, but I love her nonetheless.
I hope that I have a child before her time comes, you know? She has always wanted a grandchild from me, and I have always wanted to present her with one.
Hmm. What will be, will be, you know?
- As for my exe? We had broken up on March 22nd, and I had moved out by May 1st. Between those dates, she was a strange and alarming mixture of kind, spiteful, detached, bubbly, and a handful of other things...
She was -and still is- quite bipolar. Literally.
And to make it worse, taquilla was her chosen medication...
Not a pleasant time at all.
But the best part of all of this?
I made it through.
I survived.
I am stronger, wiser, and more mentally and emotionally stable for it.
What doesn't kill you definitely has the potential to make you that much stronger.
I can and will testify to that.
I will leave you at that, and I pray that I see you all back here soon, yeah?
I will continue to build and tinker with my Lego, and you all continue to stay positive, okay?
The world needs that right now more than ever.
I love you dearly, Kid!
And you as well, Folks!
Please just keep your heads up.
This year will bring only greatness beyond the suffering, you have my word.
See you back here soon, yeah?
Safe travels, Kid.
You as well, Folks.
And as always:
Stay safe.
Stay healthy.
Stay vigilant.
-Bluu.
