this makes me so sad
My heart will always be soft. I will never stop looking for the good and love in everything. You can’t take that away from me.
Well
It's been a while.
Too long I think.
But here I am, back to put my thoughts down; spew them into the endless void that is the internet.
Life has been...different than what I was expecting. It's been tough, and demoralizing at times (Thanks to yours truly of course.) But it's also been not so bad sometimes.
Some days I feel as lost as I always have. And those days are tough. On other days I feel hopeful. I would like to have more of those days.
My mental health is generally better than it has been. I wanted to say that. Putting that down makes it real, or real-er. I need a reminder every now and then. I'm doing okay. I'll be okay.
I feel so many things, sometimes it's hard to discern emotions, right now is one of those times.
I find myself losing the boyhood wonder that I saw in everything. The world does that to you; hardens your heart. But it can soften it too. And I try to let it when it happens. Though some of that marvel is born of naivete I think. Ignorance.
If I'm being honest a part of me chose to be ignorant, to be blind to the harsh realities of the world. The world can be cruel and torturous. I didn't want to believe that. I think parts of me still don't, perhaps never will.
To pretend everything is okay, to live in bliss; is but a half life. Ha. I miss Harry Potter in my life. I'm afraid of what will happen when I reread them as an adult. I'm afraid the magic will fade. I want to keep believing my letter is coming, that I'm still a boy, waiting to be saved.
But that's silly isn't it. No letter is coming. This is no nightmare. I'm all I have. I'm all I need. Which should be an abject truth of my life. It's a little different in practice.
I feel like I'm far behind the pack. Everyone's life is falling into place and I'm sitting here still trying to assemble the pieces. I know everyone's timeline is their own, and that I should just focus on me. But like pretty much everything else, it can be difficult.
I'd like to be kinder to myself. To love myself more. I deserve it. Because of late I've found myself hurting those I care about. I lash out. I'm selfish. And saying sorry doesn't fix anything.
It's been a long long time since I've cried. Like really cried. I tear up a lot nowadays. Which I like. It's a little comforting knowing I haven't lost all of my humanity.
All I have is me. And I don't want to lose myself to the howling darkness. It's been too long since I looked up at the stars in wonder. That makes me sad.
Who am I? Where am I going?
I don't know for sure. Ideas and hopes are all I have. I must remember to shelter my fire. Keep it alive and away from those who would snuff it out.
I don't do many things that I should, and a lot of me is a mess. That was hard to accept. But I'm just me. I'm not perfect, I don't even know if I'm a good person anymore. If I ever was.
But. Despite everything, despite it all, I'm hopeful for a brighter tomorrow, a better life, and true happiness. My truth is out there, waiting, it's on me to find it.
Until next time.
We are appalled by President Trump’s tweets about banning transgender people from military service. There are an estimated 15,000 transgender people already working in the Department of Defense, putting their lives on the line to protect our nation and its values. Those values do not include the heartlessness exhibited by Mr. Trump this morning. Discrimination has no place in our government, in our workplaces, our schools, or anywhere else in our lives.
While it’s still unclear what the actual policy ramifications of these tweets will be, we recommend keeping up with (and, if you can, donating to) the ACLU and the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund.
You can also directly tell the president how unacceptable his attack on American servicepersons is by using this form provided by the @transgenderfreedomproject.
We know there will be plenty of conversation about this on Tumblr in the coming days, and we urge you to take this moment to support and educate each other in whatever ways you can. And if you just need someone to talk to right now, there are people here to listen, 24 hours a day, seven days a week:
Trans Lifeline: A crisis hotline by and for the transgender community. 877-565-8860
National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-TALK (8255)
Crisis Text Line: Text START to 741741
The Trevor Lifeline (@thetrevorproject): Confidential hotline for LGBTQ+ young people. 1-866-488-7386
The GLBT National Help Center: Free and confidential peer support for the LGBTQ+ community at 1-888-843-4564. Youth Talkline: 1-800-246-7743
Hi anyone
Hey someone, hey world! Hey me! As I accusatorily point at myself in a mirror. I’m back. But this times things are gonna be different.
This time I’m gonna be doing a very me focused blog. More of a combination of wet ink on weathered journal pages; and an old yet pristine wedding album used pensively as a scrapbook. The whole thing sat on a taut glass fibre of tech crossed with, for better or worse, everyone’s favorite new age celebrity: The Internet! A balancing act which I will fail ad nauseam.
I’m going to attempt to capture whatever specks of authenticity float in my life and grow them into motes and maybe one day prismatic bubbles.
I’m not gonna lie, this is a pretty self centered act. I’m even having the argument against myself. Why not just keep a private journal?
Well to be honest, there’s a few reasons. One: I’d like to share. And sharing is both a generous, and selfish thing. You give someone something and in return you receive something. But that’s a whole other convo. And two: Because I have an easier time talking when I think someone’s listening. Reading.
So thanks for being that someone! Thanks for sitting there, taking the time precious time out of your life to go on whatever this will be. I mean I do have a few plans.
I want to dive into making my writing enjoyable to read. In all the facets there are to that spiky jewel. So naturally, I’ll be terrible at it, maybe forever.
“Note to self: Stop saying forever on Internet in the age of magnets and magic, you never know what melennia old shit they’ll nail you with when you’re trying running for president of the bookclub for the eight thousandth three hundred and forty-second year in a row. Not counting leap centuries. Then it would only be (do math here) years in a row, which ain’t so bad if you think about it.”
Also in case I wasn’t entirely clear I’m going to try to be funny. So I can be funnier, cause you gotta be funny to yourself before you can be funny to others. Don’t think about the ironic notion that maybe comedians are the saddest out of all of us :’(
That was a joke.
Fuck. This is gonna be bad isn’t it. Oh well you gotta stink before you can’t stink.
Additionally, I want to use this as an outlet for my jaunts into the creative world. In ways in which I am more intimate; such as flow of thought journal writing, to more personally exotic forms of expression like perhaps dance, or painting.
So yes, you have to deal with stale humour and the clumsiness of an inexperienced wannabe. Only warning, leave now if you value your ability to not shiver while you sleep.
Another joke. (2)
Also I kinda wanna use this as a place to chill with my thoughts, if that makes any sense. Be able to bounce my telepathic voice around what I imagine are the stained marbled wallks of the strangely Italian decorated basilica that is my mind palace.
I have to warn you, my mind palace is a little different than most. In my mind palace you can’t see the floor because of all the clutter, (2.5) and there seems to be a growing katamri of repressed emotions rolling from wall to wall. (3) I think I can see a bright red trike from 1994 face down in last weeks “things I shouldn’t have done but did anyway and now have to deal with the easily forseen and avoidable consequences”. (4)
Less terrible jokes, more expounding on important things, this is getting way too long. Got it.
More or less I guess I need a place is that is mine, if in even some small way.
That’s the problem with having no structure, things wander in the waves. That’s okay though, I feel like wandering right now.
Next thing I want to do is to use this place to remember the good, and the bad in my life as it happens, so my thoughts and words are unclouded, and real. Maybe not everything even has to be good or bad, but it will be documented just the same. I’ll share my sorrows, and my triumphs, hopefully I’ll laugh, might cry who knows.
But I just wanted to put this out there, to whoever’s listening. Right now, today, tomorrow, an unfathomable distance into the future, when the universe has been reverse engineered. And some poor sap is playing back this part of the universe. Probably some AI tbh. Hi future AI, most of us love you, be good and make the universe a better place. If making the universe a better place includes wiping out humanity, please don’t do it. (5) (5) (6)
Sometimes I do get the feeling that I may have a just a little bit of an issue with digressing.
Until tomorrow’s post. Stay safe, be kind to yourself, love each other, and don’t forget I’ll love you forever. (7)
