This standardises all my markdown files to have no leading newline after the `---` that ends the frontmatter. This makes display on Gemini (in which newlines matter) much more consistent! I can't spot any errors with the regex I used here, but there may be one or two articles that change shape — hopefully I can spot them and fix them!

Morning always brought about a sigh of resignation for me.\
|
|
A feeling of incompatibility\
|
|
Between the world inside my dreaming head\
|
|
And the one I found before me.
|
|
|
|
So I'd turn the other cheek\
|
|
And maybe sneak another forty winks\
|
|
As I tried to burrow back beneath the sheets\
|
|
And strain to make those two ends meet.
|
|
|
|
But there's only so much you can do from bed.\
|
|
Locked into reflection, sometimes it's novelty\
|
|
That spurs on perception, so instead\
|
|
I made a choice: to look ahead and take wonder as my voice.
|
|
|
|
Turns out, shock horror, I'm nothing new\
|
|
There's quite a few folks who take the view\
|
|
That shaping oddities from in your mind\
|
|
And bringing them alive is what we're _meant_ to do
|
|
|
|
So now I strive to learn as much\
|
|
About the wondrous, and absurd, and such\
|
|
As is plainly, humanly, possible.
|
|
|
|
To be in awe of what my fellow dreamers make,\
|
|
Of their dreams or with their hands when wide awake\
|
|
Is the _greatest_ existential vent\
|
|
I thrive on being miriscient.
