Oh yeah, we definitely need more joy, more...something, not sure what it is, but I know we're missing it.
I really like this bit, by the way:
The hook,
its barbed,
it doesn't just slide in and out for fun.
Catch and release, still suffocation.
Anywho, I'm in charge of delivering the new prompt, so here ya go:

I sort of use joy as that word, which is all of those things we know as children and sort of harbor as adults. I've never met a person who didn't know it, no matter the words they used :) and thanks for the prompt, I feel tired and trying to make an excuse to skip, but HOW can I skip 5 mins- its such a perfect trap lol
I sat down to do it and what was forming in my head was way too intense lol. Skip day after all ;)
I agree with marianne. I have worked through some past trauma stuff in my freewrites, I"ve posted some really morbid stuff, some erotica stuff and seriously, some vengeful-wishful thinking stuff related to my childhood. Intense is good and I think it can help you feel better, too! It sure helps me!
@byn @mariannewest Im not very restrictive in my speech or writing but it was my Oma's trauma and it felt too much too soon. I know as I get comfortable here and as a more public writer it will come out. Being quiet has never been my strong suit lol ❤😘
That is understandable. <3
totally cool. Of course, you only share what you want - just saying don't worry about us. Are you German since you have an Oma?
My dad's mother is Austrian, and married a second gen Norweigen who was over there under Patton. My mother's side I have a Grampy (Irish- also second generation) and a Memere (French canadian/ abernaki). I'm an early American special blend lol ;)
Nice - we like special blends. And yes, Austria has lots of Omas :)
Do you also have an Oma?
I did - Now, I am one LOL
Never be afraid of sharing intensity here. Check out @byn and @wandrnrose7 for some pretty intense stuff - and a lot of others. Feel free to express whatever comes up...
