Trashcanman @jen_the_scribe Hi Jenny! Yes, it‘s been a few years. It‘s nice to hear from you. How have you been? What‘s new? I left instagram because of the state of affairs. It‘s been nice reconnecting with everyone. I hope you‘re well. 6d
jen_the_scribe @Trashcanman Everything is good on my end, but I completely understand needing to step away from social media. I haven‘t been on IG much these days either. I‘ve been sticking to Litsy and Substack, but mostly trying to limit screens altogether. How‘s everything with you? 6d

Trashcanman @jen_the_scribe I don‘t even know where to start. Things with me are…better. Limited in a way but better. I stopped taking all of my medication. It‘s been a wild ride but I‘m feeling again. Truly I am. I have a wide range of emotions and it gets overwhelming. But I can feel again. It‘s glorious. 6d
Trashcanman @Bklover Missy!!! You know what? I‘ve missed you. Truly! How are you doing? What‘s new with you? Catch me up on things. I‘m better in many ways. I‘m not the same person in many ways, and in some ways I‘m the same. I‘m giving you a big hug. 🤗 6d
