Death is Fucking With Me Again Today

Hayden Panettiere died yesterday. She was only 36 years old. Her passing has me fixated on death once again.It’s really the only thing I worry about besides politics. My own. Mooch’s. My father’s, which may be sooner than we think. I also worry about the safety and well-being of my Bride and children.I even worry about you guys. I hate the idea of losing any member of our Mouthy Militia. Death isn’t an easy topic for me to talk about.But today, I felt the need to. And though I’m struggling with my mental health a bit, I realize that I have far more positive things to fixate on. I have a lot of blessings in my life. And I’m realizing how important it is to focus on the positives rather than one or two negatives I tend to worry about.Perhaps you can relate. I appreciate you giving this one a listen. I never take for granted how lucky I am to have this many people who care about me and what I’m thinking about. Our Mouthy Militia is full of the best people. Ones I’m thankful for. You guys tuning in and allowing me to express what I’m feeling means the world to me. I appreciate you all more than you know.© 2026 The Mouthy Renegade Writer.
