"It's hard to describe. But, I like being alone with my own thoughts. But not in my own space. I'll go to the bar. Or out to a movie by myself. When it's warm, I frequent parks. There's people around, but would rather not interact…"

Tribute tattoo for my late husband
The tattoo artist used a picture of the bicycle my husband rode as a template. The words are from the Flaming Lips song Do You Realize???? The accident occurred in the fall which was also his favorite season. I wanted to share this with you guys.

Lirvie replied to Hope's discussion Is anyone mad at his/her spouse?
