all cycles:

i. meet someone, don't meet someone, meet someone almost special but not
ii. drinks, food, coffee, tea
iii. friends, more than friends, best friends, family
iv. sex, love, things in between, and things not at all
v. fantasy, wishes, hopes, dreams, dreaming about work, work, off-time from work
vi. adorable children, frustrated aged-children, bitter young people, bitter old people,
vii. kindness, the ease of finding happiness when not expecting it (happens all the time, babe)
viii. behind on work, behind on art, ahead on some other things, which makes life pretty okay
ix. break down, or actually, not, and not be surprised at all
x. play guitar, write, sing, sing in the shower, dance in the kitchen, bake cookies, bake brownies, bake cake, bake sometimes
xi. wine, poker, spend time with people you easily enjoy the company of
xii. minimalize on the bullshiters, the whiners, the negative, the ugly-at-core, the manipulative
xiii. depression is real, bitch, and so is anxiety, and stress, drink water, drink less, be objective, & be more importantly, in-gut kind to self & others in positive progress in emotional well-being
xiv. kindness is not fucking easy; it's an internal, conscious choice against other innate instincts; it's not morality that drives it, but the choice to decrease levels of various forms of suffering that exist
xv. life is suffering, life is a hand of cards in a game with shifting rules, and you can futz it a little if you have the energy for it; life is happiness in the agency in personal realms
xvi. people are not pawns and non-players in your life, but developing players in their own lives, so don't be a mean little bitch and fuck with someone else's saved game when they're working on something.
xvii. if they take time to help you, whatever, cool, thank you for the pokeball, keep moving if you want those badges, or quit if you're done; yellow, blue, crystal, ruby, pearl, you do not have to get a nintendo 3ds and play the new ones unless you want to
xviii. you can become a traveler in your own city, you can take a vacation in your city, just do it justice & not half-assed
xix. live. death is okay too, but you only get one real one of each.
xx. love is not something that happens like rain;
it is a act from within someone, and it's not always easy, and it's usually not. nobody deserves it or doesn't deserve it. sometimes it is beautiful, and sometimes, it is a hot disgusting mess in a bad way. love is not romance, nor is it a video game where you win at the end after playing well. it's just one of those things, where it is, or it isn't. it is inherent, & arbitrary, and sometimes it is there, and sometimes it is not there, because it is a feeling in your guts & brain, and there is no wrong or right about it-- the only thing fairness has got to do with, is your actions, & sometimes it is relevant in relationships & human interactions,--- but fairness has got jackshit to do with love,
& love, might just be the satiating feeling of happiness that occurs in a being because of concept/thing existing in the universe.
