Just because you think or say something is true, does not make it so.

Sorry about your boyfriend. Even I couldn't tell a story good enough for him to make it out alright. Yeah no I did try. It seemed like he was resigned to his fate even when I the author told him he could make it? He just kept looking at the horizon and nodding and saying "yeah" like he didn't believe me. Yeah he slipped into his own story like water from my hands. Sorry.

Attempt at Poetry
I stumble through the dark, looking for a light.
The fire in me burns so bright
My heart knows only the taste of flames
They slowly dance in my headspace
Their warmth forms the words on my tongue
A breath of air through my lungs
The flames sing the notes of my voice
Reminding me I still have a choice

'ohhh it's such wasted potential' shut up shut up what someone gives to the world at large does not matter as much as they do. don't care. if van gogh got to live a better life than the one he did what the fuck would it matter that he never painted. die.

hey btw if you're in the USA at 2:20 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Oct. 4, they're testing the emergency broadcast system. your phone is probably going to make a really loud noise, even if it's on silent. there's a backup date on the 11th if they need to postpone it.
if you're not in a safe situation and have an extra phone, you should turn that phone completely off beforehand.
additionally, if you're like me, and are easily startled; i recommend treating it like a party. have a countdown or something. be surrounded by your loved ones. take the actions you personally need to take to make yourself safe.
i have already seen mockery towards any person who feels nervous about this. for the record, it completely, completely valid to have "emergency broadcast sounds" be an anxiety trigger. do not let other people make fun of you for that. emergency sounds are legitimately engineered to make us take action; those of us with high levels of anxiety and/or neurodivergence are already pre-disposed to have a Bad Time. sometimes it is best to acknowledge that the situation will be triggering for some, and to prepare for that; rather than just saying "well that's stupid, it's just a test."
"loud scary sound time" isn't like, my favorite thing, but we can at least try to prevent some additional anxiety by preparing for it. maybe get yourself a cake? noise cancelling headphones? the new hozier album? whatever helps. love u, hope you're okay. we are gonna ride it out together.

"Disabled people should be allowed to be as independent as we can be" and "disabled people should not be pressured to be hyper-independent in order to not wind up in nursing homes against our will" are two thoughts that can, and should, exist at the same time.

Arospec acceptance leaving peoples' bodies the moment an aro person describes themselves as loveless and/or aplatonic and doesn't actually "make up" for their lack of attraction by platonically loving other people a lot
