So my new guy sends me this right? Says if we didn't meet he could see me doing this:

[ID: twitter screenshot from user Coll3enG (Colleen): my grandma just asked me if i had a boyfriend and i was like "no" and she was like "well i went to a random funeral because i was bored and that's how i met your grandfather" ?????? END ID]

And i was like uh. I actually did that with a few friends in highschool? Just showed up to funerals that didn't have a lot of people in them

And the fact that no one in my LIFE ever guessed that about me, never could even fathom I'd do that and it unlocked those memories is like how else do i describe how this man and i are on our own planet?

#de rambles #stopped going after a long think. a person at one funeral stopped us and asked why we were there #we told the truth that we started doing it after a funeral we knew the person and the next room over had no one in it so we sat to #like witness that person's life. they had someone there and we left when others came in #then we started doing that when we were all free #four of us. and said we only picked ones w few or no people. she said it sounded okay in theory but we didn't know who these people were #and they might be people who would have hated us irl. or hated strangers. or hated random acts of misguided kindness #and if we were doing it to feel good that was f'd up. for me it wasn't that it was just saying like hey your corpse isn't alone #in this depressing mortuary and I'll hang w your body a bit until your loved ones get here #and she explained we were at her uncle's funeral and she wrestled with going or not bc he was an ahole #and she didn't like the idea that we were being kind to aholes. like if his funeral was empty that was apt #so i said her vindication of her uncle did come. us three didn't fill out the room and we were there a few hrs that time and maybe two #others showed. and we don't give love and honor to the person's memory we're just acknowledging humans having a right #to dignity even in death. and she wrestled w that and finally just said we were wrong to do what we were doing and she couldn't explain it #i had two ahole uncles myself and knew what she was talking ab. so i thought and thought #we all kinda decided to stop at the same time and idk. i still don't know how i feel #death tw #yea it's ab him
