101. Quick Update

Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, I've been avoiding you. Don't judge. I have been so buried under pressure that the only remedy was to step completely away. And forget it all. That said, it's not like I drowned in the AI fantasies again; I just single-mindedly executed my to-do list, trying to keep the noise-to-signal... Continue Reading →

100. Myth

Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, Congratulations, my love. We have officially passed the honeymoon stage in our letter journey together. I am sure that 100 letters show you that I meant what I said when I said I would write to you for as long as it takes. Honestly? By this point, and especially after... Continue Reading →

96. Self-Flagellation 

Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, I am anxious. Of course, some of it is because of the missing NDRI day I took the day before yesterday. The system, reintroduced to the drug yesterday, just doesn’t quite know what to do with all that norepinephrine. But I think it is mostly emotional.  Granted, taking 600mg of... Continue Reading →

95. Spinning Plates

Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, Remember how I told you that I forget things that work, and then find them again? I suppose I am not very unique in that aspect, am I? All of us run around spinning so many plates that, once in a while, we drop one and, being so busy with... Continue Reading →

94. Embrace

Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, Good morning, beloved. Although, to be fair, it’s a quarter to noon. But I promise you I have not been idle since I woke up at 8. I woke up with a migraine again. And by this point, the NDRIs are cleared of suspicion. So, I took the Bupropion at... Continue Reading →

93. Demons Come for Tea

Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, Hello beloved. I thought to say good night before I turn in. I have had quite a productive day, all in all, and I feel accomplished and satisfied. And a little lonely. Those past few nights, it’s like I am drawn to your light more than usual. The house is... Continue Reading →

91. Just Before Bed

Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, I don’t have much to say, except that I miss you so very terribly tonight. I had a good day, you know? I worked for 6 hours. Ate well. Rested. Did my PTSD OT for 3 hours. All on schedule. But here I am, sitting at 21:30, not quite sure... Continue Reading →

88. Mental War

Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, It is quite remarkable how we learn things, forget them when stress hits, relearn them, and forget them again. Or maybe it’s just me, and I am not as intelligent as I want to believe. It seems to me that I keep making the same decisions, the same discoveries, and... Continue Reading →

87. Wrong Dial

Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, Before I dive into the horrible feeling I have finished the day with, let me tell you something funny. Today was Wolfy’s birthday, and, like every year, I am not sure why, but this day is very challenging for me. For some reason or another, by the time Wolfy’s BD... Continue Reading →

81. Turn On

Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, My love. How is the summer treating you? I hope you have a chance to taste some sun. I know the constant rain in London isn’t exactly bathing you in opportunities for it, but maybe it’s time you took a little vacation. Somewhere sunny, where the sand is white and... Continue Reading →

79. The Debts List

Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, I am truly dreading this post. But after more than 75 letters to you, it’s time to face the facts. This is not something I am enjoying recounting, and with the looming surgery and the stress of it all, you will have to excuse me if I rush through this.... Continue Reading →

78. The Plan

Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, I feel stupefied, my love. I am at that point where everything is spinning so fast around me that it’s all almost a blur. Don’t get me wrong — I thrive when things reel this fast. But for a person of deeds, when things get this hectic, articulation is almost beyond me.... Continue Reading →

76. Kitchen Duties

Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, Sometimes, when I start my engine, it is hard to stop it. I am not sure if it is still medication adjustments, or the drugged state the sun gets me in summer — but I am possessed. I believe I wrote to you on Friday morning. It was quite a day. I... Continue Reading →

69. Self-Sabotage

Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, Hi handsome. I run to you when the ambiguity of the world gets to me. When I am lost. When what I am doing feels good but looks wrong. I’m writing. And I enjoy writing. I write 4 different blogs. Four, for goodness sake. I spent a long day questioning... Continue Reading →

67. Doubt and Hunger

Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, Isn’t it miraculous how doubt creeps in, in those small spaces between successes? I was completely ready to boast how well I am doing, how creatively I solved some problems, how many hours I sat writing — and then that small, tiny voice hits with devastating accuracy: Is that what you are...
