me & you
We had some really good times
And then we didn’t
We had some really good times and then we didn’t
For some reason I need to keep saying that last part out loud
For some reason I remember the good but I have the hardest time recalling why we fell out of love
They say hindsight is 20/20 but honestly it feels blurry and a bit delusional
The end of us was blurry too. There’s no clear date to hold on to.
When was the end?
Was it when I moved all of my [and some of our] stuff out of the apartment we shared for 11 months?
Was it when I got that sublet on the other side of town - just to “try having some distance” for a month?
Was it when we took the label off?
Or when I stopped imagining our wedding
Or when you told me you never really started
Not having an end date is weird, but I guess it’s fitting for us
We didn’t have much a start date either
Would that have been when our first date turned into a second and a third, all in the same weekend?
When you flew me across country to visit you for a week?
When you surprised me and moved here to be with me?
It’s interesting that we took the label off in such a formal way.
I remember the first time you called me your girlfriend. You said it to a valet while we were visiting my parents
I heard you say it and the smile on my face made you realize you said it
We were so natural
Our love was so natural
until it wasn’t.
We had some really good times
We had some really good times and then we didn’t
I’m not sure who fell in love first but I know that you stopped loving me before I stopped loving you.
I hate that fact. I wish I didn’t know it
I wish I didn’t feel you pulling away from me while we shared a bed, a social calendar and a damn air fryer
My parents bought us that air fryer
As a housewarming gift when we moved into our apartment
I wanted so badly for you to be my ending that I willing to overlook the times when it wasn’t all that happy
You were less willing to force it
So I’m not mad that you fell out of love first but I do feel foolish
We had some really good times and then we didn’t
I know that we will both be ok without the other
I don’t think you were the love of my life
I don’t think I was the one that got away
I will be ok
I know you will be too
But for now
I just have to repeat to myself:
We had some really good times
and then we didn’t.

The Sailor’s Curse
On 22 October 1707, four Royal Naval warships in a 20-strong fleet under Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell sank at Western Rocks in the Isles of Scilly, losing about 2,000 men. According to legend, however, this was not due to an accident. Instead, it was due to a curse on the part of a sailor.
Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell (x)
The fleet was returning from the Mediterranean and was blown off course by strong winds. The Admiral was convinced that they were in the open waters of the English Channel. But on his flagship the Association, was a native of Scilly who knew better. He tried in vain to inform the officers that they were heading straight for the rocks, but they would not listen and Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell, after several attempts by the Sailor to contact him, was so fed up with him that he summarily sentenced him to death by hanging for insubordination and attempting to incite a mutiny. On the way to the yard the poor man shouted "Kill me and ye shall all drown” . But his warning went unheeded and the disaster took its course. One version of the legend now says that a storm came up and pushed the ships against the western rocks of the island. The other made it even more dramatic, because the corpse that had previously been buried in its hammock was said to have escaped from it and was floating on the surface of the water, and as soon as it was sighted, the storm started.
Sir Cloudesly Shovel in the Association with the Eagle, Rumney and the Firebrand, Lost on the Rocks of Scilly, October 22, 1707 (x)
The ships smashed against the rocks and thousands lost their lives, including the admiral himself. But the curse had something else in mind for him. Legend has it that he was found alive on the beach at Porthellick Cove on St Mary's. The cause is said to have been bad positioning and the ship being wrecked. Unconscious and surrounded by dead Sailors, he was buried together with them, and alive. The other version is that a local woman killed him to get his jewellery before burying him.
In the end, his body was recovered a day later and buried in Westminster Abbey on 22 December 1707 at the behest of Queen Anne.
But is there even a spark in these legends ? probably not. For they only appeared in 1780 and were then written down as ballads. Presumably it was really just bad positioning and ignorance of longitude, but faulty nautical charts and navigation tables are now also assumed.
Eventually, this event led to the introduction of the ship's chronometer.

i want to talk about union and English people’s attitude towards it..
So especially on TikTok, anything to do with Scottish independence and Scottish patriotism i always seem to see English people shitting on it, being incredibly disrespectful, thinking they are “in charge” of us and I just think it’s not talked about enough.
see what i mean.. In every single video there are comments just PROVING the point that they think they’re so righteous and high and mighty. THE CELTS WERE LITERALLY HERE BEFORE THEM! It is supposed to be an “equal” union so why on earth so do why they literally think they “own us” or thst we would be screwed on our own when in reality we would be absolutely fine. Proves that they never really change, it has been taught and drilled into them since through generations and they wonder why we don’t particularly like them. They claim to know their history until it comes to people finding out what they did to Scotland, Ireland and wales and what they still do. They’re so entitled and ignorant and living in England has really showed me more of that.
Dissolve the union, it is not fair at all and it never has been.
Just to add, when i say English people I don’t mean all obviously i just mean a lot of them and honestly it’s easier to say all of them :)
