similar thing when someone dies of lung cancer and people ask if they were a smoker. why do you want to know that? you want to know if it was their "fault"?
this is such a funny thing to kick off an obituary with. to me it implies like "let's be clear that he wasn't at fault for his death from covid. but some other people have only themselves to blame"
#or maintain the illusion that we have control over our own health#oh he was a smoker? oh phew that confirms my worldview that i don't smoke thus i won't get lung cancer

forced myself to power through schoolwork today and was planning to reward myself with a fic that was supposed to be updated today but it looks like it didn’t update 🙃

fundamentaly embarrassing to show reference pictures to the hairdresser. Like yeah. Hey. Here's a picture of a guy who looks cool. One day I would liketo look cool as well. Can you try to make me look cool. With these paltry ingredients Can you try your very best to alchemize a guy who looks cool right now. In 30 minutes, can you make me into a person. Hey, for twenty five dollars, can you fuck my shit up forever? Could you give me a haircut. Is that too much to ask. Could you cut my hairs

like i almost think they used ai but it kind of sounds more like a person who is not very good at writing wrote it under duress
so my uncle did die and i just read the obituary and it kind of sucks lmao. two years ago i wrote the draft of my grandma’s obituary but i wrote it as a joke and then the person in charge barely changed anything and it turned out awesome lol

also so he wrote a letter to his half-siblings. and then he didn't hear back from for like six years! and what happened was that they got the letter, asked their mother about it, she said "yes it's true but it's all in the past and we should leave it there." so then they waited like six years for her to die before they wrote him back. AND in the interim my grandpa had moved apartments within his massive apartment complex but his mailman knew him and found him and gave him their response
when my grandpa was a kid his father abandoned his family and moved to florida to start a new family. then like sixty years later my grandpa got in touch with his half siblings (who had not known about him until they received this letter). he had several years of correspondence with them and then stopped, never spoke to them on the phone. i don't think they've written in like ten years. randomly today my dad says he wants to go to florida and meet them?!?!?!

looking back at even when i was a teenager it feels like i tapped out at mediocrity in literally everything i’ve ever done. like i used to play clarinet, i was on the debate team, i used to knit, and i would just reach that plateau and stay there
#no ability to push myself#thinking about ambition and goals and elite status lol#and my underlying pathological fear of my own desire

also i listened to the wicked soundtrack on repeat in 8th grade and then two years later got to go see the national tour for my friend’s birthday where it was revealed that the plot i had made up in my head had no connection to the actual plot of the show and that left me discombobulated and completely baffled as to what was happening
i will not be seeing wicked because i don’t like movies but i��m dyinggggg to know if it’s good
