Pride sucks.

Trying to put it aside.

It's been in the way for a while.

Been able to move it over a little bit at a time, and I know I'm making progress.....
================================

While writing this post I got a call from one of my oldest and dearest friends.

That really does his place in my life no justice.

I could not talk to him for 20 years, find him on my doorstep one day and he'd be right back in my life like he'd never left.

He's my brother, although we share no bloodlines. I know, all humans share blah blah blah. Whatever.

He's one of the only people on this planet who has seen my soul at its core, at its most vulnerable, and at its most powerful, and I him.

He's stressed out and finding himself buried in a monotonous and distracting reality.
The cyclical kind where he finds himself chasing his tail. The more he focuses on the problems created by dwelling in that reality, the more tangled in it he gets.

He needs to leave town and immerse himself in the people who see through his skin.

He needs a break.

He needs San Francisco.

He needs Fort Collins.

He needs Brooklyn.

And I need him, too.
