#That happened to my buddy Eric

[chicago-geniza]

Gd I have to make small talk at physical therapy AND do the usual icebreaker introductions at ADHD support program tomorrow and I am all out of novel speech. It is echolalia all the way down and not even useful echolalia. We're going to be doing name, age, One Interesting Fact in the Zoom room and I'm going to say "Chicago be careful, the Challengers wind that makes you cheat is blowing through the city rn"

it is a sign of being incredibly well adjusted when your friend sends you a post saying "look it's us" and your reaction is to feel so happy you tear up and briefly get nauseous

Have you ever had it where you've discovered that time travel is possible and that it's possible to send information through time and timelines but they need a person to man the system? So your colleagues and boss convince your wife to leave you to pursue her singing career then tell you that they manipulated your life? So you end up killing your boss with your bare hands, something he planned so that you would be so desperate as to accept their deal to be stuck in a room outside of time manning the aforementioned timeline information technology until you die? This happened to my buddy Anthony Partridge 😔

Me @ my cis school colleague: "Did you like Avatar: The Last Airbender?

Him, with a smile: "I've never watched that before"

Men will smile at you because they're proud of their toxic masculinity and in that moment I felt a glimmer of misogyny, along with hurt because I love ATLA

To mask how I felt, I said "oh no that's totally fine, I don't expect everyone to love ATLA. I think the show is really good though and I love it" and lifted myself up in doing so

I wanna go to space! I want to be launched into the realm of nothing. Look back on the earth, as its unrecognized beauty slowly disappears. Fly beyond the moon, Mars, even Neptune, into a land of desolation. Further into a void, loosely dotted with any light. The emptiness brings about its own emptiness, as the stars bring a distant, faint comfort. The years tick by. Slowly, as you lose sight of everything, you lose yourself. All of your memories begin to blur together, as your personality slowly fades. You are no longer yourself. You feel a sharp, all encompassing pain. Repeatedly. As though a knife were dug into each atom in your body. Slowly twisting, deeper, deeper, and deeper. The pain never subsides, even millions of years later, as you forget how to scream. Even as you forget how to breathe. As you forget to walk. As you forget to talk. As to reach, as to cry, as to hold, as to love. All you can do is stare. Helpless to change your fate. Unable to change your fate. Unable to escape. The last star begins to fade. The last glimpse of warmth, gone. There is nothing. You wake up. Shocked at the sudden lack of pain, and the unfamiliar faces around you, you scream. Your new life has started. You have many difficulties ahead, but they can be overcome. You can do this. You won't be sent back there again. Or at least, that was the promise. Such a reality could not be held. As your newest, closest connection, the one who has given you meaning, personality, everything, betrays you. You begin to fall back into the ever familiar void. Everything fades away. Your fate is doomed to repeat. The pain continues. You are pulled back into reality, by force. Thankfully, not all beings are traitors, as of yet. The promises ring through once again, from these new mouths. You know they should mean nothing to you. But you can't resist the temptations of love and trust. Never again... right?
