Some lyrics that I found especially poignant.

Find Yourself
John O’Callaghan

Drawn into the backdrop here
You could fade, you could fade away
Bright lights on a starless night
Burn a hole in the dying day

Looking at life through a loaded gun
Take your best shot, aim it at the sun
Looking at life through a loaded gun
You know you’ll find

You’ll find yourself, you’ll find yourself alone
You’ll find yourself, you’ll find yourself

Drawn into the darkness here
With your eyes on the prize at stake
Faint hearts on an endless path
Letting go of the ones we break

Looking at life through a loaded gun
Take your best shot, aim it at the sun
Looking at life through a loaded gun
You know you’ll find

You’ll find yourself, you’ll find yourself alone
You’ll find yourself, you’ll find yourself

Drawn into the backdrop here
You could fade, you could fade away
Bright lights on a starless night
Burn a hole in the dying day

Looking at life through a loaded gun
Take your best shot, aim it at the sun
Looking at life through a loaded gun
You know you’ll find

You’ll find yourself, you’ll find yourself alone
You’ll find yourself, you’ll find yourself

Still hoping not to be contacted, but…

categories: personal; word count: 222 words

Two of the things that I got with our third stimulus check were a high school class ring and one from the two-year college that I got my associates’ degree in Biology from (as I was able to complete that before onset of various disabilities that make now attending college something that I can not do). I am still of the mindset that I do not want to attend any class reunions, though. Fortunately for me, I was not contacted when students from my graduating class tried to put together a ten-year reunion, and I hope not to be contacted for any twenty-year reunion. I’ve only kept in touch with one person that attended high school with me, and he only went there for a year. Aside from that, I am not involved in anything that my graduating class does, and I hope never to be. It’s just not something that I want to do at any point.

I would have gotten a class ring while still in high school, but my mother wouldn’t let me order one with the customizations that I wanted to make to it. Now that I’m a whole grown adult, though, I can choose the customizations that I would like… which I did. Maybe at some point I’ll take a picture of it and post it here.
