Reading James Baldwin for class this afternoon, and I’m struck, again, at his ferocious honesty and insight. The man is pure fire.

Has “overwhelm” always been a noun and I’ve missed it???
Twice this week I’ve seen something like the construction: “This is an experience that can cause overwhelm.” …and it feels odd. I’d never write it that way (I’d go: “this experience can lead to being overwhelmed…”).
I think it’s migrating into noun-dom in order to name it as an emotion among emotions: e.g. sadness, anger, overwhelm. …but I find it jarring.

When I went in to sign all the papers last week, I thought that it would be no big deal... But it really fucked me up the next day. Cycled back into sad, angry, and abandoned feelings that I thought I'd mostly worked through.
Wondering how this final paperwork from the judge is going to hit me...

Well... I guess it was official on Tuesday, but the final divorce decree just made it to me today. So... months after it ended in a few other (more important, imo) senses, my 18 year marriage is now over in a legal sense too.

The good news is… there’s mountains. And really long ski lines with great snow all the way down.

Idk why it’s one of the weirder things to me… but ex is dropping my last name (that’s fine, she asked to take it in the first place), but in a few days there won’t legally be a person with that really familiar name anymore.

It has taken the lawyers longer than I had thought, or hoped to knock all the language that we agreed on into place.
But, today I signed all the divorce papers. I guess from here it goes to court, and because we agreed on everything, a couple days later it comes back and it’s all over.
sad, angry, relieved, excited… all the feels stewing around.

Happy New Year! I was lucky enough to kick 2024 to the curb in a fire lookout. We kept the little stove stoked to keep warm against the howling wind and snow, and in the morning—wonder!

Sometimes the tongue of your dreams gets frozen to the pole of reality and all you can do is flap your arms like a doofus.

I asked someone on a date! She’s up for it! Saturday!
I recognize that this is exhilarating and terrifying for no one other than me. But I’ve got feels for miles here today…. It’s been 21 years since my last first date.

Made it out for a couple laps yesterday; first ski of the year. It’s been slow to start snowing here in central MT, but really good to get out.
And first day on new skis after I broke my old pair on the last run of the spring. I like the new sticks!

I'm not special here, I know. The standard hetero white dude who relied for many years on my (very) soon-to-be ex for social connection and emotional support and then found myself reeling when she started refusing to care for me in ways that I'd been accustomed.
But, working through the pain and difficulty of that aftermath is, slowly, slowly, bringing me to a completely new place (for me).

Divorce is awful. period.
...but...
It's thrown me into the project of re-building a social support network, where I can turn to friends for emotional connection and support through hard times. Not saying I'm good at it, but I've been working all out on that project for the last year.
And it's good, really good.

Best sex of the year last night (which isn’t saying a ton). Spent the evening with a good friend. We ended up back at her place, a long hug turned into a cuddle, turned into a kiss, turned into clothes coming off, turned into the best night in bed in years.
I’ve been so starved for contact and physical affection… god it was good.
