"Catcher in the rye..............D*mn you high school lit class."
IYKYK.
It's been a while since we've had a heart to heart. There's been a reason. I know. Survival. On all our parts. I know you know, RIGHT? Keep on keeping on, as they say. Or, embrace the suck, they say that too. Both apply.
Per my usual, late at night and anxiously looking-forward-to/dreading tomorrow and the new set of unexpected/expected challenges to muddle through, can't help myself to sit down and vomit thoughts.
If you've been along for the ride, you know. If not, jump on board, tickets are free and if the seats are full, sit on someone's lap. It's how it works here. We're a community. And I'll take that. 2026.
Just wanted you to know, things haven't changed, they'll always be pretty DIZZY round here, it wasn't my intention. But still leaning into it. Most of you have figured it out by now.
Not proud of much, try to do better on the daily and still fall flat on my d*mn face. Ugh. But when I look around, listen to what others tell me and why they're here, it makes the nonsense make sense.
Through your efforts and energy, that's happened. And on behalf of the DIZZY collective community, THANK YOU! Truly. You might have made a strangers night. And maybe yours. IYKYK.
Not chasing viral post, clicks, likes, etc. That's not a smart move in this "social" world. I know. Prolly shouldn't go quiet on social, but there's been a reason I've done that as of late. Many of you know. Maybe a bad decision, maybe not. Don't care.
The true wins come from seeing so many of YOU embracing the vision of community, true social connection and genuine positive energy that transpires here on the nightly. I don't get to participate personally much, but sometimes. IYKYK. 🤣 Who knew a slice meatloaf or pot pie would force people to talk? 🤣
Guess that lit class in high school paid off. Whether I knew it or not, it would come in handy.
Ralph Waldo Emerson and good ol' Holden Caulfield have been either on my wall or coffee table for quite some time.
Thank you DIZZIES for also "catching others while in the rye". I see it. Nightly. *see holden caulfield quotes. You'll get it. Many already do.
Salinger was right. Holden was right. Emerson was right.
Maybe we're collectively not all done just yet.
Drinks are drinks, food is food. But..........Community and relationships are HARD. Thanks for making my job "easy". 🤣
Stay DIZZY!
