Hey, Kid!
Hey, Folks!
I hope -as always- that you all have been doing well, wherever you are on this planet of ours.
Life has been treating me just as well as it can, I suppose, lol.
I am not one for complaining, so I simply won't.
Let's do our best to make this whole year a positive experience, yeah?
Well...
Outside of this whole 'world war three' thing...
Hmm.
War...
What is it good for?
Why do we continue to let bitter old rich men send our children to die over their beliefs?
Why are we so prone to violence as a species?
Why is it so hard to agree on things like food? Water? Where to live?
This planet is massive...
It is a lot larger than most people think, you know?
Why must we war over ANYTHING?!
I know...
I know that there are an infinite number of answers to this, but none of them sit well with me...
Why must we be so destructive?
I hate it.
I hate that we as humans can't just live and let live.
I hate that we can't all help one another and just be happy.
I know that this sounds and seems soft and squishy, but fuck me...
Why is being a decent human being so damned hard?
I'm sorry, Kid...
As much as I love and want you, this world doesn't deserve you, Little light.
Folks... Please hold your children tight and make sure that they are brave and intelligent.
This world will eat them alive if you don't make sure they are ready, you know?
I love you all.
I will let you get to what you came for, yeah?
Enjoy!

Dear You.
My Stepfather passed away on this day two years ago.
Wild how time flies.
I hope you have been well, Kid.
Last night was my first night in my own place.
I hate that it all came to this,
But such is life.
Such is fate.
The Universe has its plans for us.
Always have and keep faith in that, Kid.
I love you.
More later.
-Dad.

(Pops back into 2026 with the sad realization that the war we've started was not just a horrible dream...)
Hmm.
My stepfather was an... Interesting man, to say the very least.
He was a military vet.
Vietnam was his thing.
He was helpful.
He was caring.
He was selfless.
He was also quite racist...
I grew up loving him for all that he did for my siblings and me, you know?
But as I aged and matured, I realized quite quickly that he, in fact, was not very helpful outside of what he wanted to do.
He was not very caring unless it made him look better or benefited him personally.
He was not very selfless unless it would pay off for him somewhere down the line.
He was a lot more and less than my young mind had made him out to be, and a part of me struggles with that thought even now, almost six years after his passing due to cancer.
Hmm, indeed.
- I love my studio.
I haven't moved since I moved in on May 1st, 2022, and I don't know if I will be leaving anytime soon. I figured I would be gone by the fourth year, but I love the price, the simplicity, the area I live in, and even some of my neighbors! lol.
We will see what next year brings, yeah?
- The Universe may just have plans for us, but what they are, I cannot say or even guess at.
What will be, will be. You know?
I've learned to just live and let live.
Life is short, but sweet.
Take time to slow down and look around every once in a while, yeah?
You may just love what you see.
I will leave you all at that and be on my way.
I hope to see you all back here soon, yeah?
Let us all pray for and send positive energy to the regions of the world that are being affected by war...
I hate that we can't just live in peace, but you have my heart and will with you, for whatever it is worth.
I am so sorry for what you are going through, and I am ashamed as an American to be ruled over by a selfish, cruel, greedy warmonger like the current president that we have...
I won't say more, lol.
I am sure that I probably don't have a writing contract due to my opinions, lol.
Oh, well.
At least I have all of YOU!
I love and appreciate all of you, and I hope that you come back and visit these pages just as often as you have time to.
See you all soon, and please, please, please just try to love one another...
Why not?
Don't we all have the same guts and shit on the inside!?
See you all back here soon, yeah?
Safe travels, Kid.
You as well, Folks.
And as always:
Stay safe.
Stay healthy.
Stay vigilant.
-Bluu.
