... dear fRaNK

Bad luck to talk on these rides
Mind on the road, your dilated eyes
Watch the clouds float, white Ferrari
Had a good time
Sweet 16, how was I supposed to know anything?
I let you out at Central

I didn't care to state the plain
Kept my mouth closed
We're both so familiar
White Ferrari, good times

Stick by me, close by me
You were fine
You were fine here
That's just a slow body
You left when I forgot to speak
So I text to speech, lesser speeds
Texas speed, yes
Basic takes its toll on me,
Eventually, eventually, yes
Ah, on me eventually, eventually, yes

I care for you still and I will forever
That was my part of the deal, honest
We got so familiar
Spending each day of the year, White Ferrari
Good times
In this life, life
In this life, life

One too many years
Some tattooed eyelids on a facelift
Mind over matter is magic
I do magic
If you think about it it'll be over in no time
And that's life

I'm sure we're taller in another dimension
You say we're small and not worth the mention
You're tired of movin', your body's achin'
We could vacay, there's places to go
Clearly this isn't all that there is
Can't take what's been given
But we're so okay here, we're doing fine

Primal and naked
You dream of walls that hold us imprisoned
It's just a skull, least that's what they call it
And we're free to roam

Nearly hitting 11 months
and so it begins...

Congrats on the past 11 months of your journey Sam! What a long strange trip it’s been. The awakening is both painful and beautiful. Finally allowing the old skin to shed. Keep pushing thru the fear. Choose to be free. Choose to believe. Congrats :tada:

The journey is surprisingly smooth... just the turbulence after to maintain the change will be the toughest. It's like cutting off a limb... my roots are solid, just going to be missing a huge part of me. It will heal as fast as sap dripping down a birch tree.

This is a song by Frank Ocean "White Ferrari" . Music is very therapeutic for me, especially during sad times. If you have time, I highly recommend listening to it vs. reading it.

SO therapeutic! There are a bunch of artists that just capture you with their tone and suck you in. Ray LaMontagne could read a take-out menu and get me all up in my feelings :grinning:

Sad songs can be soothing to me when I’m depressed, some people don’t see it that way, and it seems like wallowing in it but it isn’t. Depression doesn’t always just go away because we are active. We come home from work and just collapse in exhaustion. Seasonal Affective Disorder is a real thing.

I absolutely agree

So do the experts in neurodivergent disorders

Frank doesn't happen to be a giant rabbit, does he?

Perhaps...
