Picnics Accomplished
The two picnics that were in the future in my last writing have now become memories of the recent past.
Both events were enjoyable, a meeting with fur friends, food and fun were had and pictures were taken to keep the events in fresh in memory for years to come.
The same but different
One younger fur I first met two years ago was a couple of inches taller and looked totally different. I shared a photo of our 2023 picnic and he didn't realize how much he had changed. I told him changes occur rapidly at first, but then they become more subtle and sneak up on you over the years and decades.
I have pictures like those of a younger me. In one picture, I was with friends, and we considered ourselves the three amigos; now one I speak to every couple of years and the other and I have no longer speak to at all.
Drifting In and Out
Times change, priorities change and interests change. Some of these changes draw us closer and others send us down different paths.
After the picnic, I had a serious conversation with one person about group happenings which had me desiring to wandering off to play away on my own again.
People do what they do, and for now I'm backing off and letting them be. I am, for now, falling back to my cartoon companions and more solo actiivties.
Two Dimensional Comfort
I rewatched a whole lot of Huckleberry Hound and the simple backgrounds and plots still amuse me almost 60 years later.
Cartoon conflicts are resolved with cleverness and slapstick comedy, up front and in your face, no behind the scene machinations and cruel behaviors that come out of a Kafka novel.
Just drawn that Way
I also did some drawing again, recently; just sketches studying a character I like who has twintails (they're hard to draw) and I made a quick sketch of us having sundaes in my local ice cream shop.
I like telling myself stories, even if they're just simple scenes of happy times. The little stories and pictures are small dopamine hits I can generate when needed, with no unwanted side effects or prescription needed.
Time to Recharge
There is a lot I have to chew on given the recent events and right now, I can do that best alone. How they may affect my course of actions to upcoming and future fandom events remains to be seen.
I am going to sit and think and let the dust settle, so I can see clearly before I choose.
Work in the IRL has been a challenge enough, I don't need more in my downtime.
