The mind is powerful. And it kicks my ass if I'm not careful. I fucked up twenty years ago. Bing! "Here's your reminder!" Then I'm scrambled. Have to force it out. *Bing! "Here's another one!". In split seconds I'm reliving hours of turbulence. That's why I'm so damn quick on the draw when the shit goes down. I need to fix this or it's going to fuck me. And I get fucked anyway lol.

Hmm, yeah I understand completely, we seem to have had similar experiences although triggered by different events and happenings I guess.
I have seen some recent comment threads and I wonder sometimes why you get so invested, at least from the commenting perspective. I prefer to ignore it I guess, I don't have the time or inclination and it seems no matter how logical a comment or perspective is, those that want to skew or avoid it, will do so in preference to their own ideologies. I don't have time for it. I'm happy to discourse of course, but I prefer not to get too involved. I can quick on the draw but tend to follow the you bring knife to fight, I bring M777 howitzer and a fuck load of HE rounds. Lol. Best to just ignore and proceed elsewhere. I just wrote a post about it yesterday, about small people doing small things.
You're a good chap, it's clear to see, and a lot of people think it. Just saying.
Because I always see that little bit of good in people they're trying to stash away while hopelessly cornered into their own narratives, while also considering the fact they have onlookers requiring a good impression as well and must meet those demands. I know it's going to be tough and delicate but I still try.
I have managed to talk people down from that ledge before. I'm not into punishment. I'm into helping. And yes, it backfires. And yes, I end up looking like the asshole.
I've seen you in tight spots. That last time we spoke. I was cooling you down. You needed it.
Oh yeah man, I've been in some spots, it happens and I think it's best to confront it, admit it, that's the way forward. Some prefer to hide from their problems, even if their problem is themselves.
