i am in my own place in the densest place the big city of Seattle offers. i am on my first morning of the biggest dream of my youth. I had abandoned this dream 30 years ago. it has still not fully landed but im feeling feelings deep in my belly. im happy. im happy! even alone. i slept without fear for the first time since Sept 2025. the dreams of the tenderloin and Hell’s Kitchen are alive in Capitol Hill. i have a clear western view of the Seattle skyline from my balcony. its a building built for gentrification but the market for tech workers collapsed. its now low income. its pretty nice.
