Exam season is upon us
Hi! My name is Ad Astra Per Aspera, and I'm a two-year-old "eternal kitten", as my mom calls me, who lives with my mom, her mate, and my two aunts, one big and one small, which are all hoomans. I also live with my "sisters", who I don't really get along with, Jinx and Starlight, and my sister Maya and my brother Kuro, who I do get along with and play with all the time.
I was born on July 8th, 2020. I was born in a barn to my kitty mommy, a tabby with no name, and she stopped feeding me because I was too weak.
My mom was supposed to get one of my siblings, but they died, so the hooman that owned the barn called my mom and told her, "the one you wanted passed away, but if you come over today I have one you can have for free. I don't think it has long left so if that one dies too you can have another"
I didn't understand at the time but I think they were talking about me.
My mom came to pick me up that day, I was very tired and I didn't want to move. Suddenly, I was surrounded by fluffy and warm and comfy. I fell asleep until my world started to rock, back and forth, irregularly. It was dark, with steaks of light coming through holes all around me. I mewed and a face appeared behind the largest hole.
I don't remember much after that, I think I fell asleep. But once I got home, I got food. I was so, so hungry, but I couldn't latch onto the bottle. I had a hard tube shoved into my mouth and pour milk in. I drank until I felt more full than I ever had in my life.
I took a long nap, and my mom woke me up.
She took these pictures of me the first day and gave me a bath in Dawn dish soap to get rid of my fleas. It was wet and unpleasant, but it was the best I'd felt... Ever. At least at that point.

Updated Ad Astra Per Aspera. The chapter fought me tooth and nail but its done.
I was reading Golden Son when the book suddenly insulted me. Bloodydamn book 😒 . . #piercebrown #redrising #goldenson #morningstar #redrisingtrilogy #irongold @piercebrownofficial #bookstagram #adastraperaspera #darrowoflykos
I’ve been working on healing a lot of things lately. For decades, I was a people-pleaser. We women are taught to trade our instincts for what society wants of us. A decade-long career in retail and customer service didn’t help, either. However, recently, I decided to flip the people-pleaser inside of me. Now, I tune into my own thoughts and feelings, and please myself over others. I act more in accord with what I want. It’s better this way. I still have a long way to go, but I know I’m on the right path because it hurts, but it’s also good because I’m growing. ✨
#Retrogram to last night’s #YurisNight party at @greatlakessciencecenter. The future admiring the past, in more ways than one. And if you squint just right you can see Carl Sagan Memorial Station in that #Martian #Landscape. Maybe. #StarTrek #StarTrekEnterprise #Starfleet #Uniform #NXClass #AdAstraPerAspera #NASA #SpaceShuttle #Mars #GreatLakesScienceCenter #StayCuriousCLE (at Great Lakes Science Center)
To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest, to follow that star
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To fight for the right without question or pause
To be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause
And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove, with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star
AD ASTRA PER ASPERA
