No Apologies, Kristian!

It’s been a rough few days in the news

& I am feeling (even more) discouraged –

By humanity

And our politics.

I am ready for cooler weather already,

And I’m exhausted from lack of sleep.

So I am going to sit on my sofa,

Eat cotton candy from last week’s fair,

And finish the first season of Hannibal –

And I am not going to feel bad

For not doing laundry

Or working out.

Because it’s about damn time

I started being kinder to myself.
