This was not meant to be an exercise
in self pity, nor even a window into any piteous state I may be in. But I’ve received some concerned feedback so I’d best clarify what my thinking was. And because I’m lazy, it is a Saturday night after all; I’m copy-pasting my elucidation to Kimya:
shafinaaz
ur spoke in the wheel post is sad
u ok?
Me
you’re the second person to ask me that
i must clarify
it’s meant to be a metaphor for growing up, independance, standing on two feet without a supporting wheel….
shafinaaz

eureka
š
icthelight
Me

shafinaaz

Me
but is it really, sometimes dont you feel like you could do with that extra wheel, to be carefree…
shafinaaz
but extra wheels can slow u down
Me
very very true
i din’t think about that
shafinaaz
like a crutch
dnt get too used to it
š
Me

shafinaaz

And from Lady Kim, words from the Mevlana to put it all in perspective: “You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?”
That’s all for tonight folks, tune in next time for more off-the-cuff entertainment from the life and wiles of the distant planet that is Khadija.
Okay, that was vain but au revoir mes amis.
