@polen_ball "as I understand", "if I remember correctly", "my understanding is/was..."
Just me trying to manage the expectations of my intended audience
@delonperc Eugenics and class warfare.
My wife is disabled/ chronically ill. Experiencing all that along side her is why my head often feels like a kicked wasp nest. Just genuine homicidal rage.
@lanternenjoyer1 As great as it is to have that with someone, once you have it, just the prospect of losing that person will bring you to your knees. And actually losing them will destroy you. I know this from experience. But I would choose it every time bc real love makes life worth living.
@MandyFrizzle Sending love.
Been with my wife 15 years, and if that ended, no matter the reason, "weird" would be the gentlest possible description of that period in my life....
@crimaason About 5 years ago I got a new phone and in the process of transferring my stuff, all of my contacts were lost. Not one single time over these yeats have any of my "friends" whose numbers I lost checked if I'm still alive.
@oncloud_e I considered myself an ally for a long time, but you're correct, most allies are fair weather friends. Then I fell in love with a trans woman and all the threats became personal. I wish more people saw things that way.
I love you, as in, my liberation is impossible without yours
@MarthaAhumuza I am terrified of having to carry and process my grief in a world where not one single other person will have the understanding and patience to deal with how it affects me. Shed a tear in private, but otherwise shut the fuck up bc no one cares enough to listen. I'm so tired...
@aliciaandrz My gf recently relapsed after 5 years sober. Drank the dog food and propane money for the month.
Shit happens sometimes. Your addiction will never "go away" but you proved to yourself for 2 years that you CAN fight it. That fight is every single day unfortunately.
@Grogfrog497@lavendermoonbun Yeah, just pretend it didn't happen. Pretend you don't see the signs. Pretend that it's not terrifying. Pretend you don't feel empathy for other people. I don't understand it...
