Hockey, politics and other unoriginal takes. Views expressed are my own. You can't have them.

I just found out that a coworker was a neighbor. Before I was willing to invite them over to watch a Canes game, I had to ask them if they supported the present. I'm so fncking embarrassed. 20 years ago I would have never expected that a prerequisite to watch a hockey game together. But here we are.

In the 5 stages of grief popularized in the Kubler-Ross grief cycle, acceptance is the final step in overcoming loss or trauma. BUT, "acceptance" doesn't necessarily mean "get over it." It's to simply acknowledge reality and make a new plan to move forward. Empower yourself. Move forward.

I had a friend once. Fun & outgoing. Tough as nails too. As he hit 30 he showed signs of paranoia/schizophrenia. Started lashing out at his friends. Seeing enemies everywhere. Eventually, his best friends had to push him to the outside, fulfilling the prophecy of his delusion. Hope you're OK, Teddy.

You are up to date.
