Save Me: Chapter 40 - Belonging

~Hey guys! Chapter 40 is out! 40 chapters of Save Me, I just can't believe it!! Thank you to everyone who has been supporting me with this story, I love you all <3~

Everyone seems to be struggling with finding a sense of belonging. Living in a community of course provides a sense of group feeling but actual purpose seems lost on people. Will Molly and Negan be able to envision a future whereby they both belong?

Negan's POV//

I stood by the window, taking in the smell of the sweet summer grass.

She still loved me, I thought to myself.

She kissed me and told me that she would be back soon.

God I missed her when she wasn't here and I hated sharing her with them.

The only people apart from Molly who actually talked to me were Gabe and Judith, sometimes Michonne but mostly just to yell at me.

I knew that Molly would've gone to the Sanctuary and I wanted her to, she had to see Simon for herself and do whatever she needed to do to move on.

But, a part of me feared for her safety.

I knew she could handle herself, hell did I ever, but I hadn't heard from her since she left.

I just hoped she was safe and sound at Hilltop now.

I was pulled from my deepest thoughts when Judith came bounding over, carrying her textbook she sat on the step where she always sat and started reading out her homework questions.

'If airplane A and airplane B are 1000 miles apart, if airplane A is flying east at 500 miles per hour and airplane B is flying west at 650 miles per hour, how ma-' she started to ask before I stopped her mid speech.

'You know what? I would definitely recommend booking a seat on airplane C because that shit is shaping up to be one hell of a mid air collision' I replied laughing to myself.

'You gonna help me or what?' she asked with annoyance.

I smiled and asked 'alright lemme ask you somethin'. You ever seen an airplane fly in any direction, at any speed?'.

She sighed and said 'no'.

'D'ya think you ever will?' I asked softly.

'Probably not' she replied sadly.

'So what the hell difference does it make? See, math problems are supposed to apply to the real world. If you want my help, give me a question or a problem from right here, right now' I said seriously.

She looked down and closed her book, picking up the figurine of Rick and asked softly, 'you know the strangers that were brought to Hilltop yesterday? My mom said that Molly's gonna make them leave'.

'Well no I didn't know that. But I'm guessing that you being you, you wanna help em?' I asked smiling.

I looked down, the smile slipping from my face as I said, 'lemme tell you somethin'. When I was about your age, I used to bring home stray dogs, my mom, she hated it. I never understood why, they always seemed so friendly and grateful. Till one day I brought home the wrong dog'.

'What happened? Did it bite you?' she asked, now turning around to look at me.

'Not me, that dog killed all the other strays, chewed off half my mom's ear when she tried to stop it' I said sternly, frowning in recollection.

'Thing is, that dog seemed just as friendly and grateful as the rest of em' I added.

'What about after that? You ever bring home another dog?' she asked.

'Hell no, I wised my ass up' I said smirking.

She sighed, stood up and grabbed her book.

'Yeah and look how great everything turned out for you' she said mockingly.

'Wait a minute, where you goin'? I thought you wanted my help?' I said hastily.

I needed to talk to someone so I wouldn't feel like I was going fucking insane.

'I do, but just with math' she said assuredly.

'Why just math?' I asked sadly.

'Because it doesn't matter if you're a good or bad person on the inside, the numbers don't care' she said sweetly as she walked away.

I chuckled to myself as she left. She was smart as hell.

I longed to be out there, I didn't even give a shit if it was some low labour work.

Fuck, they had changed me, back then, never would I have found myself doing this type of reflective grovelling shit and as much as I hated to admit it, Alexandria truly was magnificent.

It was now that I knew I wanted to be a part of it all.

Michonne's POV//

'How was practice?' I asked Judith as she came walking up the stairs.

I had watched her from the window and knew that she had been to speak to Negan instead of her katana training lessons.

'Fine' she replied nonchalantly.

'You must have gotten there late, seeing as you were standing on the stairs outside the jail half an hour ago' I said walking closer to her.

'Just a couple minutes' she replied smiling.

'Why were you at the cell?' I asked softly.

'I wasn't she replied hastily.

She sighed and nodded, then said 'I went there to see Negan'.

'Have you been talking to him?' I asked with a raised voice.

She avoided my gaze as she nodded slowly.

I scowled and asked 'why?!'.

'I feel sorry for him' she answered confidently.

I now crouched down to my knees and looked into her eyes.

'He is not your friend sweetheart' I said calmly.

'Well obviously...' she replied smiling.

'So if he's not your friend then why are you talking to him?' I asked trying to stay calm.

'He listens to me, not everybody does...that's why I let him out' she said sadly.

That broke my heart.

'What?' I asked in confusion.

'When I said I couldn't stop him from leaving, I could've, but I chose not to' she added.

'I don't want you to ever go near him again' I said sternly as I stood back up.

'Why not?' she asked sweetly.

'There is a reason that he's in a cage, Judith. He's a monster!' I said seriously.

'No he's not! He's a human being!' she yelled.

'But he has done monstrous things. He's killed people, people I cared about, people your dad cared about and if we ever let him out, it would start all over again' I said softly as tears rose to the surface.

'But he did get out and he's not like that anymore' she added.

I smiled at her optimism.

'I get why you want to believe that, but people don't really change' I said slowly.

You did' she said softly.

This stunned me to silence.

'Go to your room' I said seriously.

Judith looked at me confusedly and asked 'why?'.

I sighed as I said 'because I need a minute'.

Once she left I felt myself clinging to the bannister as the realisation hit me that I had changed.

I had grown cold after Rick and maybe Molly's perception of Negan had rubbed off on my daughter.

Molly's POV//

Everything at Hilltop was as it should be.

Jesus and I saw the place thrive and the new additions to our family here were settling in smoothly.

Magna had been a little harder to crack than the others, but I knew in my heart that she was a good person and I wanted all of them to stay with us.

Michonne had radioed Jesus and I to talk about them and how she didn't think it was wise to let them in.

I knew what she meant and I would've felt the same way, but seeing how many of us Rick brought in, even when he didn't fully trust us yet, made me realise that everyone should be given a chance.

I walked around the compound, admiring the new people's hard work they were putting in to guarding, building and help others in this place.

I smiled and waved to each one of them, it felt so good to save people from the world outside our doors.

Maybe that was my inner Saviour coming out, though I would never admit it to anyone.

My main priority right now was Michonne.

I just hoped to God that she didn't hate me for my decision.

I mean, even though we were technically leaders of two different communities, we were still together as a family, all of us were.

With the expansion of the house and the other cottages going well and everything was on track, I felt like I could step away for a day because I needed to speak to Mich in person.

I told Jesus and Tara, said goodbye to them both, essentially putting Tara in charge while I was away and I set off for Alexandria.

I had brought with me the bag that I packed at the Sanctuary for Negan, knowing that I would see him.

I thought it would feel strange to keep flitting from one home to the next but I had done that for years now, even when I was at the Sanctuary, my home was never just one place.

When driving, I tried to keep my focus on the task at hand which was Michonne, but I kept drifting uncontrollably to thoughts of seeing Negan again.

I was somewhat excited to tell him about the Sanctuary and how relieved I felt afterwards.

But, I knew how touchy Michonne was about me visiting him too often so I had to keep it a secret, as much as I possibly could.

When I reached the gates I got off my bike and handed it to someone to chain up, then walked straight through to Michonne's house.

I knocked on the door and was surprised when it was Judith who answered.

'Hi Auntie Molly!' she said excitedly.

'Hey sweetheart, do you know where your mom is?' I asked confusedly.

She sighed sadly.

'She's out in the fields, I'm not allowed to go with her because I'm grounded' she said rolling her eyes which made me chuckle.

I smiled and asked 'what for this time?'.

'She told me to stop talking to Negan, but you do? So I don't get it' she shouted.

I nodded and looked down sadly.

'Your mom just wants to keep you safe' I said softly.

'Negan would never hurt me' she said sternly.

I smiled weakly at her faith in him.

'I know that. But for your mom's sake just do as she asks. Do you promise?' I said crouching down and holding out my pinky for her to swear.

'I promise' she said hesitantly as she grabbed my pinky with hers and smiled.

I said goodbye to Judith and walked towards the fields when I realised that now would be the best time to sneak down and see Negan.

I squinted my eyes to see Michonne in the distance, her back faced away from me.

I hopped down the steps and Seth automatically opened the door for me.

I was surprised by this, thinking that Michonne would've cracked down on visitors by now.

I walked in, carrying the bag from the Sanctuary and smiled when I saw him faced away from me, looking out of the small window.

'Hey there' I said sweetly which made him turn around smiling when he heard my voice.

'Hey there yourself' he replied still smiling like a cheshire cat.

'Told ya I'd be back soon and here I am' I said propping the bag down by my feet.

'You seem good, better actually' he said happily.

I nodded and said 'yeah, you've probably guessed that I went to the Sanctuary'.

He smiled and looked down, hands in his pockets.

'Yep, you okay?' he asked seriously as the smile now turned to a straight lipped look of concern.

'I am. I won't say that it wasn't hard being back there, but, I feel more alive now in a way. I saw...him. He was chained to that fence and I just felt such relief knowing that he couldn't hurt me. Not anymore. I walked right up to him and I knew that it wouldn't hurt him being technically dead and all but I decapitated every inch of his body, leaving only his head. I wouldn't give him that mercy' I said, almost smiling with vengeance on my lips.

Negan seemed entranced by my attitude.

I could tell by his facial expression that he was both proud and also a little scared.

'Hot damn, Molly. God, I love you you know that' he said nonchalantly as he paced around his cell, stopping after a few seconds when he realised what he'd just said.

We both avoided each other's gaze and Negan hastily changed the conversation.

He walked closer to the bars and frowned.

'What's in the bag?' he asked with a quizzical brow raised.

'Oh, I uh brought you some of your things from the Sanctuary' I said as I crouched down and unzipped the bag, passing him the possessions one by one.

'My jacket' he said smiling as he lifted it up to the ray of sunlight to admire it in all its glory.

'I always loved that on you' I said softly as he smirked and placed it on his bed.

'My pillow', he said chuckling as he smooshed it around in his hands.

He smelled something and held it against his nose, closing his eyes and inhaling.

'It smells of you' he said smirking.

'I may or may not have lay on it a couple times' I revealed as I still avoided his gaze and blushed slightly.

'Now, these two are more for passing the time' I added, lifting out his book and the bottle of bourbon which made him gasp and chuckle.

'You know me so well' he said smiling.

'Uh huh' I answered as I bit my lip.

His smile now faded to seriousness again.

'Thank you, Molly. You always were the better half of me, far more compassionate than I ever was' he said sweetly.

I smirked and said 'well, I do remember you being pretty compassionate in other ways'.

He instantly caught my meaning and raised his eyebrows.

'I remember that too, hell I dream about that every damn night' he said.

I was so close to opening that damn door and kissing him again right then and there but Michonne came storming in and that stopped all sentiment.

'Hi, Mich' I said turning around to see her standing furiously by the door.

'Molly' she said and ushered me out.

I smiled at Negan before I left which I was certain Michonne had seen.

'What?' I asked as I folded my arms and stood on the grass in front of her.

'Did you talk to Judith about Negan?' she asked sternly.

'What? No. I-I told her to ask you first, but Michonne she's just as headstrong as Carl was' I answered softly.

'I know' she said sighing.

'Can I ask you something? Have I changed?' she asked sadly.

I sighed.

'We all have, Michonne' I said as I pulled her into a hug.

'I know you don't wanna trust the new people, but I believe in them' I said seriously.

She nodded, 'Rick would've done the same' she said smiling as she reminisced.

'Yeah, he did the same for me and Tara. You both did' I said as tears formed in my eyes as I smiled.

'Yeah. But what do I do about Judith?' she said defeatedly.

'I know you wanna protect her from all this, but she has to learn on her own. Make her feel like she's being heard and she'll listen' I said softly as I wiped the tears from her eyes.

'At the end of the day, we all just wanna feel like we belong, especially in this damn world' I said softly as she held my hands.

She nodded as she pulled herself back into my arms.

I felt Michonne physically releasing all that tension she had been carrying for so long and I was so glad she felt that she could confide in me.

But, as much as I tried to stay present in that moment, my mind couldn't help but wander to the thought that Negan was probably listening in on our conversation and maybe subconsciously I was talking about Negan belonging instead of Judith.

I finally felt like we were getting somewhere and I hoped that soon she would see that Negan had changed and that he would never harm Judith or any of us.

Buffalo River Trail - A Story of a Valiant Attempt

So, I haven't written much about the trip to Arkansas, even though it was a while ago now, and we still had a blast, because I was disappointed.

Just like a new beautiful journal with crisp clean pages, I feel like on this clean and clear blog I need to have something big and beautiful and IMPORTANT to say. I want to post only the best stories and successes because that's what we do online these days- we post the best stuff and pretend that's all there is. But oddly enough, I was having a conversation with a friend where we realized something we missed most about the "old internet" was that it wasn't all successes and prettiness, and clean modern templates around perfect Instagram-ready pictures. It was full of rambling blog posts, emo song lyrics, poorly put together HTML and terrifying random pictures of people doing unspeakable things with jars. It was messy and chaotic and that's what made it so cool.

So that's what I want to do. I want to bring back a little bit of what I nostalgically remember from the "old internet" excitement about things even when I'm not awesome at things, and honestly even when it's not flattering, just because it feels good to be honest like that.

So here's what happened in Arkansas, and why it was by no means a failure of a trip or vacation, but also not a big motivational success story.

We completed day 1, and made it to the landing in Ponca, and about half way to Steel Creek before calling in the troops to come get us.

So, because of super strict work black out periods this year for both myself and Dee, we had a very narrow window to go, which was early June. Really, according to the locals, fall and winter are the best times to go, and spring isn't terrible either if you don't mind some rain. Summer, is really no good because of many reasons, but about the LAST time to even bother is early June, so we just barely were able to make it in.

Before we get into all the reasons we only did the first day (spoiler), let’s talk about some awesome stuff on the trail:

*Blackberries, everywhere, it was awesome. I am like the blackberry spotting and picking master. I swear I was eating the entire time and it was all beautiful blackberries. My hiking partners were very sick of hearing “ooh! Blackberries!” but I never got sick of saying it. The one picture I took though it not very representative of my haul

*It was gorgeous! Just look at this!

*I had the best time with my dad and partner. Super bonding experience

*Random little bits of magic like:

What is this? It was up at the very top, at least a mile from anything vehicle accessible. There was no other clutter around it. It looked massive and heavy. How did it get there? Does anyone reading this happen to have any sort of insight into this? Please let me know!

*Ponca, where we hung out and waited for “rescue”, taking off our boots, playing in the water, comparing water filter speeds and drinking Gatorade. It was lovely.

-One of the reasons for this is heat, but we're from Texas, and it was a good 10-15 degrees cooler on the trail than what we were training in. It was still really hot weather for my dad though, who also is of the old army mentality with heavy pants and boots, that we were only kind of able to trim down when we did the pre-trip shake down on him. We took a good 10 lbs off of his pack and gear, and he was still 7 lbs heavier than Dee or I with things he refused to let go of. It was a heavy load in hot weather.

-Bad Omens right away that played with our heads. This was not a comforting sign, although I’m glad it was there and we saw it.

-Another reason is one that we did not have a full grasp of what it meant when people talked about "bugs" being an issue. Again, we're from Texas, we deal with mosquitoes all the time. Our clothes and gear were all treated with permethrin, we had bug spray - totally doable. But mosquitoes were not the "bugs" people were talking about.

-The "bugs" were ticks. Lots of them. OMG so many ticks. Every time we stopped I had to take my bag of to get them off of my hips and stomach where they had snuggled in under my hip belt. At one point Dee stopped me to swipe dozens of them off of the backs of my legs as we walked through some brush on an overgrown part of the trail.

-Follow up reason: How incredibly overgrown everything was. It was a good spring this year apparently, and this is not exactly a super popular trial with lots of foot traffic. EVERYTHING was overgrown with grass. EVERYTHING. Twice we lost the trail when it went into a large clearing of hip high grass to twist around, and we had to do some strategic splitting up and shouting at each other when we made it back to the tree line to try and find where the trail was.

-Follow up reason follow up: OMG Arkansas is so beautiful, and so green in the summer. Coming from dry South Texas, it is straight up SEDUCTIVE when you drive in to be surrounded on all sides at all times by so much tall green lushness. But there's a point though, when it's incredibly humid and you're worked up from a steep incline that it almost starts to feel claustrophobic. Then you finish a bunch of steep inclines up about 1000 ft and the view looks exactly the same as it did before you started climbing, and you can't help but lose perspective a little.

There was a point near the end, where over and over and over we would climb, and it would level out, and we would think we were at the top. Then it would go down, and we were thrilled, and then we would make it around that blind curve to find another climb and turn exactly like the one we had just finished. And without any landmarks on the horizon, they all started to look identical. I swear, I was SURE at one point that I had fallen into some crack in the space-time continuum, and was hiking the same mile of trail over and over in a circle and would be for the rest of time.

-Fitness: Dee and I are not stellar examples of in shape. We have a long way to go, and we're getting there by doing things. But we do train, and we do get out and do things of a physical, hiking and biking nature. We're also pretty used to walking around with our packs on. The trail is not incredibly hard, but there are times that you definitely need to stop and take a break before you can finish the thousandth climb of the day. My dad however did not seem to realize until we were on the trail just how much retiring from hunting people every day and training his dog as a K-9 officer and moving to the country side where he feeds some chickens and moves stuff around on his tractor trailer every day has changed his level of physical fitness. He was getting really shakey near the end. He was really self-conscious about it. I tried to exaggerate some huffing and puffing every now and then, and ask for a break when it looked like he needed on, and let me say, it got to my head. Acting tired made me feel even more tired. And there was a point where I crossed into that weird, exhausted, painful, beautiful bliss.

And that's when the group and I diverged a little. If it were just just one of these things, we could all deal. All of them together turned the trip from a fun adventure into a weird survivalist penance for modern day existence and comforts. I did not know this about myself but I DIG IT.

I mean, I love fun adventure too, but it was meditative for me to suffer in such beauty because I have allowed myself to become squishy on modern convenience and cleanliness and bug-free climate controlled indoors. It cleared my mind of all the bull that had left it so clouded in a humid exhausted wave. I was filled with nature and the physical world where walls were made of trees and not cubicle cloth. Money wasn't a concern - I couldn't bribe the ticks off of me. There was no time in the massive green tunnel. This was freedom.

Also, I can’t escape the feeling that this absurdly deep hole went to some place in The Other, and it was a little unnerving to me how curious I was to explore it. The picture does not do justice for what a hole into the void this was.

Dee and my dad did not have the same experience. They were tired, and hot, and freaked out by the ticks. And wanted to go home. At one point, my dad fell back so that he could go as slow as he needed without feeling bad, and we walked ahead, saw how narrow steep and deadly the trail from Ponca to Steel Creek was, and how sloppy all of us had gotten with out feet, and decided it was best to go back to Ponca, and call my step-mom to come save us. They didn't want weird transcendental nature-penance. They weren't having fun. They wanted a shower and a beer, and I couldn't blame them. Plus it's not like I was going to just say "peace" and walk for two more days alone in the Arkansas wilderness. So, we bailed. We went home and enjoyed junk food and reclining chairs. I discovered I have an allergy to ticks that makes bites super itchy and gross looking (and yes it is just an allergy, I've had it checked, I don't have lyme disease).

But it was the best decision. It was the decision that saved us from hurting ourselves, or ruining our whole vacation and remembering it as misery.

And, I got some really pretty pictures of lots of trees before I started tripping out on green.

I know I’ve already shown this one. I just really liked it.

THE PROCESS

Howdy from Kathmandu! I hope you are happy and healthy. Is life going well where you are? If you have time and inclination, please answer.

Schools here are open again. The children and teachers all wear masks. Restrictions have loosened a bit to allow just a few more tourists into Nepal. This minimal increase in traffic is not enough to fix all the serious economic problems, but it is a bit of an improvement for many of the local businesses.

This week’s 1000 words are from the book Fearless Puppy On American Road. They are ostensibly about the process of hitchhiking. I have hitchhiked so much that it has become my metaphor for life. I hope you enjoy the metaphor.

A human mind works best when trained to be coherent, clear-sighted, and capable of self-organization while also being creatively free range. It is a very serious advantage to have a cohesive partnership going on between intelligent thought, creative process, and productive action. Otherwise, your thoughts and life can end up like so many positively inspired political and environmental efforts do — nobly motivated, fueled with great dedication, and a joy to be involved with — but not altogether coherently coordinated enough to reach the great level of success that such noble motivations deserve. It seems that great intentions and strong effort can’t get the job done themselves. A successful process has to be mastered and implemented.

Please be well and stay well. Love, Tenzin

THE PROCESS

There is a process to hitchhiking. Much of what holds true for the hitchhiking process often holds true for other parts of life as well.

First, you’ve got to decide that you want to get somewhere other than where you are. Then you have to raise the energy and determination to actually leave your present location. All trips start with a determination that’s serious enough to get you off your butt and moving. You might have a very specific destination in mind or it could just be a direction. Regardless of the destination, you will probably have to overcome some stagnation, lethargy, patterned behavior, and also risk some stability, in order to get anywhere.

“Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.” Frank Zappa

After that, you have to pack what you’ll need. It’s always best to reach a balance in packing. Obvious essentials such as flashlight, towel, toothbrush, toothpaste, emergency food and water need to be included. But you may have to walk miles in rough weather from a place you get stuck in. The difference between a thirty-pound pack and an eighty-pound pack could end up being the difference between comfort or exhaustion/heat stroke/frostbite and even death. But then again, so could a half-pound sweater that you thought unnecessary and left behind. Pack wisely.

You’ll also want a map. Other folks have been to the places you want to get to and have traveled in the directions you want to go. Maps exist for nearly every piece of road in the world. They all use universal symbols. No matter where you are from or what language you speak, everyone knows that a bigger dot means a bigger city and that a thicker line connotes a major highway. You can journey uninformed in unfamiliar territory, if you like. You can even make your own trail or road through wilderness. Folks used to do it all the time in the olden days. Folks used to suffer much greater hardships and die younger back then too. Luckily, many of those people made maps of the roads they built or discovered. Reading those maps can save us modern folk a lot of time, energy, and disaster. A map can help you to live longer and more comfortably than people did in the olden days.

It is best to start a long hitchhiking trip from the on-ramp of a highway. Don’t stand right out on the highway itself. There are good reasons why this is illegal. It is not only dangerous for the hitchhiker, but also for the highway traffic. The chance of getting crushed into eternity by a seventy mile per hour vehicle paying strict attention to its own process is a lot greater on the highway itself than on the entrance ramp. Any driver entering a ramp at twenty-five miles per hour is going to be immediately aware that you are on the shoulder looking for a ride. That driver will have a greater ability to pull over without killing you, his or her own passengers, or the folks in other vehicles than a seventy mile per hour highway car would.

Get to the highway or main road as quickly and easily as possible. Standing on a barely traveled road in a rural area where the drivers are unfamiliar with you might last long enough for you to become vulture food. Hitching on a main city street is usually unproductive and can be dangerous as well. The highway or main road is probably close enough to where you wake up so that you can get a ride from a friend, take a local bus, or even walk to it.

Once you are wisely packed and on an entrance ramp to a main road, you’re going to need patience. You can be properly packed and intelligently discriminating about which cars you get into. That’s brilliant. But it does not change the fact that on some days you will get passed by hundreds of cars and have to wait several hours before anyone stops to pick you up. And it doesn’t change the fact that a driver who initially seems like fun may turn into a downer, or danger, after a half hour’s acquaintance.

Most of the time good luck will favor you. It will most often be a good person that will bother to pull their car over to help a stranger. You still have to be vigilant, discriminating, and patient — full time. That way you’re prepared for anything.

Prepared does not mean paranoid or even afraid. It means aware. Have fun! Traveling should be a joyful process. If you think every car pulling over for you will have an axe-murderer driving it, you should take the bus. (Unfortunately, your odds of meeting that axe-murderer won’t drop much on the bus.)

If you live through many years of hitchhiking, you will eventually get what is called “a feel for the road.” You’ll have better instincts for the best times to be on which roads, what sort of equipment to carry, whose car to not get into, and so on. Rides will seem to come more easily. This is still no time to let your humbly positive attitude or awareness fall asleep.

Whether you are novice or adept at all this, neither human driver nor divine force owes you a ride — nor are either under your control. Be pleasant and grateful to the person that finally does stop for you. It is not your benevolent host’s fault if you have been standing in freezing rain for two hours.

At its best, hitchhiking is a joint venture where you and your hosts benefit each other. In such instances, taking the ride can be a joy. If you’re not grateful, if you are arrogant, or if you are not aware of each situation you get into — any ride can certainly be otherwise.

I hope it is obvious to you that these procedures can apply to any number of life’s processes besides hitchhiking.

Pick a place you want to get to.

Prepare wisely and diligently.

Read a map.

Hit the road comfortably, but with your eyes open.

Have fun. If you aren’t having fun, you may be doing something wrong. Stop. Figure out what it is. Fix it. Get back on the road.

p.s. No matter how far you have gone down the wrong road, turn back.

My History

CW: emotional, sexual, and financial abuse, suicide, drugs and alcohol, conversion therapy, divorce, homelessness, seriously... you name it.

For the very young among my readers, and for those who simply weren’t aware of what was happening in the queer community in the 90′s, let me tell you a little more about my family.

My dad is from a city. His family later moved to a more rural environment, but he also grew up with a cosmopolitan experience. His mom’s parents were filthy rich and disinherited her for eloping with my grandpa but my dad still got to do rich people things when he was a kid. He has funny memories of his grandma nearly killing them because she was too drunk to drive but he also remembers doing farm labor as a teenager. He was a math whiz and played varsity football his sophomore year but had to quit after a car accident when the doctors discovered that one of his kidneys is totally non functional and the other is under developed. When he joined the Air Force, he was training to be a helicopter flight mechanic but there is something wrong with his depth perception so he was recycled and ended up with the far less glamorous but still noble position of cooking. Cooking runs in our blood.

My mom is from a very small town, 1000 people or so. The only diversity she ever really knew was Lutheran or Catholic and because of her heritage on her biological dad’s side, she may have been the only Jewish person in town. She was raised Catholic, though, by her mom and step dad. Her stories of childhood have a much different tone than my dad’s do. She was constantly angry at her mom for being too stupid. She earned average grades in all subjects and helped in the family store from the time she started high school. She played basketball for a few years in school, but most of her time was spent getting drunk probably because she had no framework to understand her attraction to other women. When she joined the Air Force, she did so as a diet tech.

My parents met in a kitchen on an Air Force base thousands of miles from their home states. My dad told me that it was love at first sight. My mom has never talked about it. Their marriage was unhappy. They produced two children and then divorced a few years later. My dad was depressed for years and my mom openly shamed his depression to us kids. I have heard so many versions of why he left the Air Force but he was the primary parent when I was a kid. After the divorce, he struggled to find suitable work.

My mom convinced us kids not to visit my dad more than once and even forbade us from visiting him on other occasions. I remember being coerced into signing a contract that we would not visit him at all when I was eleven. I figured out that my mom was gay when I was seven. Luckily, I had not been exposed to other culture stories about homosexuality before this so for me it was just data. We had to keep it a secret from the Air Force. In the 90′s being queer could cost you your job, especially in the military. This secrecy was used to convince us to keep our mouths shut about all the abuse that was happening in the home. “If you tell anyone about this, I’ll be investigated and lose my job.”

Ironically, my mom preached tolerance while perpetrating all kinds of conversion therapy on me that would have left me traumatized for life if I had not taken matters into my own hands as an adult. It was on a nearly daily basis that she openly declared my sibling the favorite and called me Number Two. I think that may have something to do with why I make so many poop jokes. I tried to earn her love and respect by doing well in school but my straight A’s did nothing but only further enrage her. When my IQ was tested at the age of 8, she denied the score because scores in that range almost always point to autism and she was working her ass off to deny that part of me. She even hid my fidget, my teddy bear, from me as a prank on more than one occasion. Imagine what it is like to have a mother who makes fun of you as a rule and will only show you love if you act right, and you never act right because you’re not right.

You can imagine that I lived with my dad as often as I could. My dad is strange though. He would only want both of us to live with him. He was also very poor but I didn’t care because being able to breathe freely was a luxury that I didn’t have when living with mom. (I actually had to see a specialist at one point because my stress was preventing me from being able to breathe. The muscles in my neck were locking up but this only lead to being teased about putting less strain on my vocal chords. She didn’t love me at all.) Living with my dad wasn’t perfect. I was unable to continue the swim team into high school because my dad was fearful of me riding in a car to get to practice (unresolved trauma from his past) and his work schedule prevented him from taking me. But I was allowed to be in the IB Program and I begged my way into a few summer camps at the university. During my Junior year, my mom and dad got into a stupid fight and my dad lost it. I can’t say I blame him now because as an adult, I understand my mom’s power to provoke and pick at emotional wounds... but at the time, all I could think was, “what the fuck?” and I had that thought for years.

We ended up back with mom who wanted me to drop out of IB and get a job which also derailed my plans to attempt to get into MIT and they had been scouting me since I took my PSAT. Why did I do what my mom wanted me to do? I guess I trusted her, I still saw her only as my mommy and not as the manipulative, abusive person that she is. Staying in the IB Program would’ve led to my finding a suitable job but you have to remember, she hated the idea of having a genius child because that meant having an aspergers/autistic child and she retained her small town mentality for fear and shame of difference. In a weird way, not becoming an engineer has worked out for me and if she hadn’t treated me like so much dog shit for 25 years, we’d probably still have a relationship. My relationship with my dad was later repaired because he apologized for what had happened as a result of the fight.

During my twenties, I was chronically homeless. Although I did well in school, because I was taught, but nobody ever taught me how to live in this world. I struggled to find work because I am strange, I cannot work full time because of the intensity of my sensory processing disorder, and the paychecks I earned were never enough to even cover rent, let alone food or a phone bill or student loan payments. I tried living with family, which meant my mom, and this only lead to my second suicide attempt at the age of 25. (My first was at age 12, also while living with my mom.) My sibling found me and I woke up in the psych ward a couple days later. It was after this that I lived in a home called a Board and Lodge. About a third of us were autistic but requiring less staff than a traditional group home. There were also people with physical injuries, drug addiction, prison re-entries, and one guy with schizophrenia. It was not a safe place to live because there was a great deal of abuse amongst the residents and staff due to what I think was a social power struggle. It was so bad that some of the staff wouldn’t even perform their jobs appropriately and I reported it when I moved out.

I’m leaving a lot out: my years in college, my marriage and divorce, my time in a cult, being taken advantage of financially, the sexual assault, and other things. Being unable to recognize danger does not magically help an autistic person recognize danger. I have a lot to thank my therapist for because she has mentored me to help me recognize danger and to help me see the world as it is. She has helped me to build life skills and self care skills so that I can live independently and not be at the mercy of people who don’t understand autism and think they’re doing me a favor by trying to abuse me into being normal. I am hoping against hope that I can find a part time job in this state that will be understanding of my autism and accommodate me in the way the law requires them to. I have a lot to give but I cannot give what I do not have.

Everyone you know has a hidden past that has been molded and shaped by the hidden past of their parents and grandparents. Try to put a hold on judgements and assumptions, if you can. It will help to foster tolerance and acceptance without having know things that are none of your business. It is an important lesson to learn that nobody owes you an explanation for who they are and nobody is obligated to share what they consider private.

Your Presence is More Than Enough of a Present

Hello! @aph-blue! This is your gift for @xmas-usukexchange2016! I’m sorry the original gifter wasn’t able to give you something on time, but I’m your [America voice] back-up! A fluffy usuk Christmas story, just what you ordered! Sorry it’s a bit short. I’m unable to put it under keep reading, as alas, I’m on mobile. Sorry about that! Hope you had a great holiday season and hope you enjoy!

Alfred loved the holiday season.

The lights, the decorations, the songs, just everything about the season made his heart fill with joy and a smile spread wide on the alpha’s face. However, this season wasn’t turning out to be the best as all his friends and even his family were all busy. His friends he could understand, but his own family somehow ended up having plans not involving him. Of course Alfred understood that in the chaos of the season, he could’ve been forgotten entirely, but that didn’t make the fact that he was all alone any less painful. So when his boyfriend, an omega named Arthur, asked if he wanted to spend the day with him, Alfred was more than happy to oblige. It was almost as if Arthur knew he was all alone… Which was weird, because he had made a point not to tell anyone, knowing how much more of a blow it would be to his alpha pride. Alfred huffed. It must be one of his weird omega senses.

Alfred’s apartment was, to put it lightly, a bit of a mess. There were clothes everywhere, dishes in the sink from only yesterday, he added proudly, his bed was unmade, and the kitchen was dirty. It was less of a matter of being an alpha (as his alpha friend, Gilbert, was a neat freak,) than the fact that he was lazy that his apartment was in such a state. He didn’t see the need to as no one was there to judge or tell him otherwise. However, the place was spotless by time Artie was there.

The first thing Alfred did when he saw his omega was crush him, nuzzling his face in his neck. It felt like it had been forever since he’d seen him, despite it only being a week or so.

“Missed me, did you love?” Arthur mused. Alfred didn’t speak, instead nodding and inhaling his scent.

”You smell wonderful. God how I’ve missed that scent.“ Arthur had been doing his best to reciprocate the hug, but was limited by the amount of things in his hands. Noticing this, Alfred quickly released him and excitedly examined the objects, much like a dog.

“I’ve brought you gifts.” Arthur said, sitting down and patting the seat next to his, inviting Alfred to sit with him an as he unfolded the blanket, which, after making hot chocolate for the both of them, he gladly accepted. Handing him his cup, Alfred relaxed as Arthur snuggled into him. How he’d longed for this.

Breaking the silence that had overtaken them, Alfred asked, “so about those gifts?”

Arthur’s eyes widened. “Oh yes, those.” Arthur reached and grabbed the bag on the table, presenting it to his alpha. Alfred excitedly reached in the bag, sticking his tongue out from the side of his lip as he searched for the card, knowing Artie was very particular about those sorts of things.

“To my Alfred,” he read, “you may be an insufferable git, oblivious, and unbearable at times, but you’re still my Alfred, the most wonderful, charming and sweet person I know. Happy holidays. With all my love, Arthur. Alfred pecked Arthur’s red face. “Love ya too Art.” In typical Arthur style, all he heard in response was grumpy mumbles. Alfred chuckled and rummaged in the bag, seeing what else his omega had gotten him.

In the end the alpha got a new video game, a handmade sweater which smelled like Arthur, (which was truly a blessing) and some coupons to his favorite burger place. Alfred punctuated each gift with a kiss and a “thank you,” making the Brit blush, but he felt guilty. “I didn’t get you anything,” Alfred lamented with a pout. It’s not that he had forgotten, but ironically, he was too busy and didn’t have time to find the perfect gift for Artie. True to his nature, the omega was remarkably talented at finding great presents, something that as an alpha, Alfred struggled with a bit.

“Huh?” Alfred cocked his head, not hearing what Arthur had mumbled.

The omega cleared his throat, blushing furiously. “I said, your presence is more than enough of a present.” At this, Alfred beamed and tackled Artie, peppering him in kisses. Mind you, Alfred was still going to get him something, but this meant he had time. “Alright, alright, I get it I get it. Now, if you would, please release me love, and we can do something fun. Not that I wouldn’t mind spending the day in your arms.” Arthur breathed, crushed in his alpha’s grip. Alfred promptly did so, dragging him towards the kitchen with a 1000-watt smile plastered on his face.

Alfred was at his happiest. Spending the day with Arthur, and doing silly things. They baked, (or rather, Alfred baked, he wasn’t going to allow the omega to set his house on fire,) which resulted in dough and flour all over their bodies and everywhere, sang Christmas songs, danced, ate, played with and threw snow at each other, drank hot chocolate, and ended up snuggling on the couch under a blanket, watching movies.

“Alfred,” Arthur said after a while of silence, “there’s one more gift I haven’t given you yet.” Alfred sat up, full attention on the Brit as the reached down and drew a framed picture of his mother from out of his pocket Alfred’s eyes widened.

“What..? But that never leaves your room, it’s your most prized possession, why would you-” Alfred cut himself off, realizing what Arthur was implying. “ Y-You w-want to m-m-move in with me?!?” For someone who spoke at a mile per minute, he was, for once, at a loss for words. Arthur nodded, smiling warmly.

“You’re super easy to read love, you’ve been sulky recently. You love the holiday season, you wouldn’t be this down if something wasn’t wrong. I took that to mean you were going to spend your holiday alone. So I thought that this was the perfect time to ask, I don’t ever want you to be alone during the holidays again you git.” Alfred kissed Arthur, trying to to convey all his emotions as he embraced him in a warm hug.

“ You’re the best boyfriend in the world, Art. Of course I want to move in with you.” Arthur hugged Alfred back, putting his face in the junction of his neck. Alfred couldn’t stop smiling. It was the best holiday he ever had, and with Arthur by his side, he was sure to have many more to look forward to.

Should I notify my car insurance company if I paid for the fix myself?

I had a minor car accident in a Costco parking lot last weekend. I was backing out my parking lot; the other guy was also backing out. Unfortunately, we didn't see each other... Anyway, this seems to be a 50-50 accident. The damage to the cars are moderate and we agreed on just fixing ourselves. So no personal information was exchanged. I got an estimate today. The cost for fixing my car is not cheap but still lower than the minimal requirement for accident reporting in California. It is also lower than my insurance deductible. So I plan neither to report to DMV nor to file a claim. But one friend of mine suggested that in this case, I should still notify (but not to file a claim to) my insurance company. His argument is that the other party can still come back and sue me (if he is a freak). While we didn't exchange information, the other party may have remembered my license plate number so theoretically he could find out all other information about me. But I am not sure if notifying the insurance company will affect my premiums. What do you think?""

Need car insurance help!?

Weird/awful situation. Co-signed on car loan with a longtime friend when he broke off and started his own business. His business tanked, as did his personal life. Lost his job, his business, everything. He's now about a year behind in payments, and the bank is coming after me. Since it's destroying my credit (and life), I'm paying off the loan. The bad news continues. Apparently he loaned the car to his brother, that has disappered and isn't returning it, and the car is nowhere to be found. So now I own nothing. Worse, I'm terrified that whoever has the car could wreck it, and I'm liable. So now I have to get insurance, for a car I don't have possession of, and report it stolen.

EURASIA OVERLAND 2017, FINAL POST..... ______________________________________________________ Moscow - Suzdal - Leningrad - Tallinn

Saturday 3rd June Tashkent to Moscow Train 005Ф 'The Ozbekistan' Departs 18.50 (Sat) Arrives 11.15 (Tue) 65 hours 35mins

Just 20 minutes after departing from Tashkent we were at the border with Kazakhstan and 2 hours of border guard checks on either side awaited us. As regulars on cross border railway journeys, we knew to make sure we used the toilet in that initial 20 mins, as the toilet doors on the train are locked shut until the border checks are done. It's also a wise move to pop some diarrhoea tabs before boarding, to shore yourself up if your bowels have been irritated by the local tap water, again.

The train carriage had obviously been left out in the open to roast in the Tashkent sun all day before departing, as it was swelteringly hot on board, making for an uncomfortable 4 hours in our 2 bed compartment. We had decided to treat ourselves to a first class ticket on this long 3315km leg of the journey, but there were little 'first class' luxuries about it, just the comfort of not having to share our space with any snorers. 'The Ozbekistan' train is a really old rattler and quite literally everything on it rattles. After leaving the Kazakh border we made our beds and tried to cool down with the window wide open letting in a welcome breeze, but trying to sleep was a bit of a torture, with the ever more apparent squeaking of door latches and creaking of a lose shelving unit being a constant annoyance.

The first full day, without any border crossings to delay the journey, we were able to settle into train life. For breakfast we had porridge oats we'd bought with us, soaked in the boiling water from the furnace at the end of every carriage, topped with raisins and almonds. Then you just sit back, read a bit, look out the window at the never ending Kazakh steppe, go for a walk up and down the carriage, have a tea break with some biscuits and generally just pass the time till lunch. Lunch was instant noodles with bread, and some eggs we had boiled before the journey. Break the eggs up and sprinkle in the noodles, for an egg fried noodle effect. Save a bit of bread for the end, to dip in the left over soup. After, sup on some cheap Uzbek general lager and slowly doze off for a well earned afternoon nap.... Heaven!

We had agreed before the journey that for dinner we would treat ourselves to a meal out at the restaurant carriage. Only a couple of carriages down from us, we strolled over in our best evening dress, got a window seat and ordered two Plov, a salad and some bread which went down a treat. The setting sun shone on our faces, that beautiful slow train rocking motion serenaded us as we gazed out the window on the dusty Kazakh plains and pondered whether to order afters. We opted for vodka and biscuits back at our sleeping quarters, hoping the vodka would knock us out for an uninterrupted nights sleep. It did the trick, but we were rudely awoken at 4am by the conductor warning us we were approaching the Russian border.

Did we read the timetable wrong? It turns out the time was actually 5am. When we crossed from Uzbekistan into Kazakstan on the first night, even though we were traveling back in a westerly direction, the clocks had gone forward! A message to the Central Asian governments: you all need to sit down together and sort out your clocks, you have to at least try and follow the conventional laws of longitude. Anyway, we crossed into Russia without any problems, some tame looking sniffer dogs rushed through the carriages, probably more interested in getting to the third class sections towards the back. The clocks then went back 2 hours in one move from Kazakhstan to Russia.

The second full day on the train was very similar to the first. It was now much greener and a little cooler outside, much more pleasant temperatures to relax in, so our Uzbek train guards decided to whack up the heating and turn the carriage into a sauna. Pissed off with this, I managed to find the switch in the guards room, and when she was outside having a fag break in the little open section between the carriages, I would go in and flick the switch off, a great game to help pass the time. We eventually settled down and drank more beer, sipped on more vodka and dozed off to sleep whilst watching downloaded Netflix docs.

Walking to our Moscow hostel on the Tuesday lunchtime, we immediately felt a sense of sadness that we were no longer in the less orderly world of central asia. The timed countdown pedestrian crossings, the western fast food chains, the tall glass financial hq buildings, the grim moody faces of people rushing to get to meetings.... we were back in the 'developed' world.

We had tickets for a ballet performance at the Bolshoi theatre on our second night in the capital. I'd not been to a ballet before, and we were both really excited to be able to watch a show at such a historic venue. In 1918 Vladimir Lenin insisted on demolishing the place. He said that opera was a bourgeois art, it cost too much, and that the performers were arrogant and wanted only money. Luckily, Joseph Stalin was a bit of a culture vulture, and convinced him that they could have arts for the masses in the Soviet Union and he changed Lenin's mind. He loved opera and ballet, and would attend performances regularly. And here we were, a few decades on, attending the very same venue. I doubt Jo was in the cheap seats at the very back, but you can still feel that spooky historical presence when sat in the dim lit grandeur of the interior. The performance itself was entertaining enough, I'm just glad we read the outline of the play beforehand, not sure I would have known what was going on otherwise.

Saturday 10th June Moscow to Suzdal Bus 904 Departs 12.00 Arrived 18.50

Bank Holiday weekend in Russia, and like most Russians, we wanted a break from the city, so with the weather set fair, we headed out to our 'dacha' in the countryside. The beautiful old town of Suzdal was our choice of the many 'Golden Ring' destinations on offer, located on a roughly 100 mile radius of Moscow. We made the mistake of opting for a cheap bus all the way, expecting it to take 4 hours, it took 7! The bank holiday get away traffic from Moscow was ten times worse than that you see on the M25 back in the UK, and the never ending roadworks didn't help. Moscow is gearing up for the world cup next year and the whole city is a bit of a construction site, with road modernisation plans in full swing.

Arriving in Suzdal a bit drained from the sluggish bus journey, we were pleased to arrive at our 'Dacha'. 'Patchwork Hostel' was possibly the cleanest place either of us had ever stayed in. The well equipped kitchen allowed us to cook up some cheap home made meals, and to prepare picnics for days out in the picturesque countryside. A bit sick of walking after 8 weeks of sightseeing, we were able to rent bikes and ride for miles along country lanes without any traffic to disturb us.

Suzdal itself is home to several Unesco world heritage protected orthodox monasteries, dating back over 1000 years. We popped into one of the gold domed cathedrals for Sunday mass, the priest blessing us by splashing holy water over everyone as he chanted prayers in his deep russian voice with the nuns on backing vocals. Next to the church was a little canteen run by the Nuns where we purchased some cabbage soup and cabbage filled bread to eat, while we pondered over what the priest had to say about how better to go about our lives in the week ahead. A church canteen is a great idea for struggling parishes back home. I for one would certainly be more inclined to attend mass if you could get some good cheap comfort food straight after.

Tuesday 13th June Suzdal to Vladimir Bus 159 (40 mins) Vladimir to Moscow Marashutka 4 hours

We had been blessed with blue skies for the whole of the bank holiday weekend in Suzdal, but it was a grey wet morning for our departure back to Moscow. After a short ride on the 159 bus to Vladimir, we'd hoped to get a local 'Elektrika' suburban train back to Moscow, but there was a 4 hour gap in the timetable which would have meant a cold damp wait in Vladimir. A Ukrainian fella, who had lived and worked in New York for several years, befriended us and explained he would be getting in a Marashutka back to Moscow. After using them a fair bit in Central Asia, we hadn't planned on seeing them in use in Russia. They work to the same unofficial schedule as the central asian Marashutkas, lots of 10-15 seater transit vans lined up in a car park, all waiting till they are completely full up before departing to various destinations. At only 500 rubles we saved ourself some cash and some time, as it got us back to Moscow in 4 hours. This gave us plenty of time for a little tour of the Moscow metro and some of the grand architecture at the 'Palaces for the People' stations.

Wednesday 14th June Moscow to Leningrad (St Petersburg) High Speed 'Sapsan' Train: 768aa Departs 13.40 Arrives 17.35

We were now getting a taste for the usual bleak grey Russian summers some of the locals had warned us about. The rain was coming down quite heavy as we tried one last time to visit Lenin's Mausoleum, which had been closed on our last attempt a few days earlier. It was still closed! They must have been touching up his makeup, and Lo was quite disappointed to miss out on paying her respects to the great man, our last chance to do so as we had a train to catch to the city named after him, Leningrad.

Leningradski station in Moscow was fairly busy, but it didn't take too long to get through the security bag checks. The high speed 'Sapsan' (Russian for Falcon) service, like the Uzbek duck and the Chinese bullet, had a really comfortable air conditioned spacious lay out, with ample leg room at our airline style seats. Also a free sandwich, with a cup of tea and biscuits delivered to our laps!

The sun was shining in Leningrad and we were able to take a late night stroll under the 'white night' skies along the canal and river banks in the centre of town. The sun goes down around 11pm, but at this time of year it never goes down far enough for it to get completely dark and at 2am it is starting to rise again, a bit of hinderance to a good nights sleep when your hostel doesn't have proper curtains.

I reckon this city will be the pick of the World Cup venues next year. A huge park leads up to the spaceship like St Petersburg arena, with fun fair rides, food outlets and bars a plenty. Also, in the town centre itself, we visited one of the 'fan parks' that had been set up for this years warm up confederations cup tournament. It is positioned right next the impressive 'Church of the Saviour on Spilled Blood' which is some backdrop for a big screen showing football when basking in the June sunshine. Don't be worried about the scare stories in the western media, the Russian hospitality is second to none, just drink vodka with them and be happy. Also, this World Cup will offer long distance travelling between host cities like no other. Just imagine the fun to be had on a 26 hour train for a quarter final between Ireland and England in Yekaterinburg....

To get back to our in depth look at Russian Culture and the arts scene, we had a full 8 hour day of walking around the massive Winter Palace and its Hermitage Arts Museum, which boasts a greedy amount of work from the worlds best known painters. Just staring at the interior of the building itself is enough to keep you occupied, let alone the Van Gogh's and Matisse's on show. Catherine the Greats former residence was the seat of power for the Tsars from the 18th century onwards, and whatever your views on what happened post 1917, you have to agree with what one guest had written in the museums guest comments book "the revolution needed to happen!" Gold dripping from every staircase, ridiculously big chandeliers, huge grand ball rooms.... it just wasn't going to win favour with the starving masses on the streets outside. To the Bolsheviks credit, after looting the wine cellar and the ensuing hangover that followed, they managed to maintain the interior and save the artworks and opened the building up to public as a museum which is how it has remained ever since.

We got hold of some cheap tickets for The Mariinsky theatre, and a Saturday afternoon matinee performance of the Igor Stravinsky classic 'The Firebird'(I know, listen to me!). Again, like at the Bolshoi, we were sat up in the gods, but the view was still good, and being so far back you can stand up without bothering anyone behind you, kind of like at the back of the Cold Blow Lane end but without the Tourette's sufferers stood next to you. I began pondering some more comparisons with football. Back before the Bolshoi performance in Moscow, it was a Tuesday night, me and Lo, were getting tanked up on a few homemade vodka, pomegranate and soda water cocktails before 'the match'. This time around it was a Saturday afternoon, we had a fry up for breakfast, you get to the theatre(the ground) you drink more alcoholic beverages surrounded by others and the hum of anticipation of what's gonna happen on the stage (the pitch) is deafening. Some people are clearly only there to get pissed up with their mates, they have no interest in the beautiful game(ballet) whatsoever. Plenty of geezers dressed up in designer gear showing off their macho image, what do they care about the new directors interpretation of Stravinsky (in football: the new managers use of the diamond formation). I'm clutching at straws with these comparisons now, but your mind does tend to wonder a bit during the middle part of a ballet. Anyhow, for just 300 roubles (£5) you couldn't complain and in all seriousness the ballet performers really put in a shift for the crowd, which is all I ever want as a fan.

Monday 19th June Leningrad to Tallinn Baltic Express Train: 033a Departs 06.25 Arrives 13.43

A very early start for the last leg of our trip, a train out of Russia, crossing into Estonia and so back home into the EU. There was not much 'express' about the old 'Baltic Express' rattler, it has a similar compact seat lay out to one of those old Northern Rail tanks that go from Preston to Burnley, and it chugs along at a similar sedate pace. The clear blue skies made for some pleasant views out onto the Gulf of Finland as we approached the Estonian capital and the last destination on this mammoth journey.

This morning, to complete the journey from coast to coast properly, we walked to the baltic shoreline, to get our first glimpse of sea since April, and that is that! 60 days since leaving the Yellow Sea in China, after approximately 12,565km (7,807miles) by train, bus, marashutka, jeep and taxi's only, we've made it to the Baltic Sea. Eurasia is one hell of a landmass! Forget Africa, forget The Americas, Eurasia is number 1. Don't be so quick to overlook it, just cross the channel and it's all there for you, thousands upon thousands of square miles of land to explore without the need to get on a plane. Saying that, we're getting on a cheap flight to Amsterdam on Friday morning, we have a close friends wedding to attend on Saturday and have run out of time, but you get the gist.

I hope these ramblings have offered some inspiration to you, and I want to say a big thanks to all the fans of this blog, especially my Nan, for being so supportive and encouraging me to write it. Also a massive thanks to the people who helped us along the way: Matt, Brandon, Marrie for setting us up nicely with a good meal and beers out in Shanghai. Liza for sorting out our buses in Kyrgyzstan. Antonio and Fergus for teaming up with us, and the Osh Guesthouse for sorting out our transport for the Pamir Highway.

See the 'man in seat 61' website for more details on cross continental train journeys, it was an invaluable planning tool for us when we started out. You can plan railway trips in all parts of the world here: www.seat61.com
