Kiss me now before you go. Summertime sadness. I just wanted you to know that baby, you’re the best.

I never really understood what this meant until now. I’ve been told that I should be thankful - not everyone gets to experience this, and I understand what they mean. 

And I don’t mean “this” as the end of a relationship, a chapter, or idea. I’m not talking about time, seasons or rotations. I mean “this” as who I was. I can tell I’m different. I can tell she’s different and I understand that I’m not who she is or where she was. She was scared, excited and hopeful, and in some way, I’m still feeling those things - just in a completely different way. 

I’m sorry that this didn’t work out.  I’m sorry we went through so much. While I cry for her, who we were, I remind myself it’s ok to feel sad.

Especially when there’s change.

It’s 2022

I’m 32. 32. And I just finished resetting my tumblr password. I’m listening to Linkin Park’s Hybrid Theory. It’s like i’m the same angsty teen, angry young adult, now 32 year old thing doing the exact same things again. I’m unsure if this is a healthy coping mechanism or like a huge red flag. It’s been years since I’ve been in this vibe of change and it’s always taking me back to the same path. I know it’s me. I just don’t know what it means.

for the first time, in a long time, i’m looking forward to the future.

Blessed Summer Solstice. I bid farewell to the sun and the return of the gentle dark.

Summer Starts in the Northern Hemisphere!

Today is the first day of summer in the Northern Hemisphere -- the solstice! People located in the Northern Hemisphere will have the longest day of the year today, and people located in the Southern Hemisphere will have the shortest day of the year.

The angle between the Earth’s orbit and the axis of its rotation creates our seasons, tilting each hemisphere toward the Sun during summer in that half of the Earth. This is summer in the Northern Hemisphere, and winter in the Southern Hemisphere. The other half of the year, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, creating winter in the north and summer in the south.

Solstices happen twice per year, at the points in Earth’s orbit where this tilt is most pronounced.

These days are the longest (in the summer hemisphere) and shortest (in the winter hemisphere) of the year, and mark the change of seasons to summer and winter, respectively.

Okay, so basically, I have a full-on main character narrative in my head but there’s only three brain cells carrying the whole show - and I’m pretty sure they’re high. There’s no supporting characters and the plot seems really convoluted.

gaslighting does not always involve them calling you “crazy”

sometimes gaslighting is you protesting over and over, and them saying “you don’t have to make such a big deal out of it”

sometimes it’s “i really tried my best with you, but clearly i couldn’t do it”

sometimes it’s “i would never do that to you”, “if you really asked me to stop, wouldn’t i have stopped?”, “i don’t know what i’d do if i ever hurt you”

“denying and rewriting your reality” is not a one-time conversation, either. it is a sneak attack, flying under the radar and taking you out, one communication at a time, never drawing all the attention at once.

it is not your fault that you never saw it coming.

Survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting announce the ‘March For Our Lives’ on March 24 in support of gun control

‘‘… Not one more. We cannot allow one more child to be shot at school. We cannot allow one more teacher to make a choice to jump in front of a firing assault rifle to save the lives of students. We cannot allow one more family to wait for a call or text that never comes. Our schools are unsafe. Our children and teachers are dying. We must make it our top priority to save these lives…’’
