#even typing this made me cry

In 2011, I played the Honest Hearts dlc for Fallout New Vegas. What captured my attention was what they tried to convey in the scenery of Zion, the Grand Staircase, and Bryce canyon. I knew of Zion and spent a lot of time in the California desert growing up. But something captivated me. Something about the beauty of this area spoke to me in my core. I never forgot it. For the scenery only, Honest Hearts was always my favorite dlc.

For years after, lots of friends tried to get me on a trip to Zion. It never felt accessible. I carried a full schedule of post apocalyptic events and cons, I ran a camp for a few years, and organized an event of our own. Finally, my wife and their best friend wanted to get together and camp. Zion was where they chose to go.

Standing in the park filled me with emotion, and I teared up and cried at the base of The Narrows. This was it. This is Zion. A place formed over millions of years. One of the most beautiful places on earth and I lived to see it.

When I was in the visitors center, seeing the park rangers young and old filled me with such deep sadness. I had wanted to be a park ranger in high school. For a lot of reasons, I gave up on that dream. I still remind myself there's ways I could work in or with the park service. But seeing them there made me wonder how my life would have been different.

these days have been so hard and draining mentally. there's nothing specific that I should be sad over but I'm still feeling so sad, it's genuinely annoying

Another thing that makes kaladin so painfully relatable is how much his mental illness hides his personality, because between depressive episodes and trauma he's this sarcastic little shit that smiles a lot at his friends and then the depression gets to him and all that disappears

So okay I know I was literally just whining about school a bunch but it is definitely awesome to get to see all my (and I do have some, believe it or not) friends again! The one I was worried about was actually super chill so I think it’s fine now lol. She does have beef with my other friends though and she does still hate the friend I maybe sorta have a tiny crush on.

(Okay so that friend that I might have a crush on held my hand today when we were walking to English class and I stg I was moments away from spontaneously combusting.)

(Ignore the messy drawing lol)

She’ll be yapping about something that annoyed her meanwhile I am no longer breathing and by some miracle she remains completely oblivious.

She keeps doing stuff like this and that’s why we had so many dating allegations last year lmfao

i would call my dad to apologise, but knowing him it would just hurt him unnecessarily to be reminded of that because he's not really good with bluntness which is what caused this whole thing and the other issue is that i know i will impulsively act like this many times in the future, so i guess the best thing i can do is continue to be as kind to him as i can be

"For many lesbians and gay men, blood family represented not some naturally given unit that provided a base for all forms of kinship, but rather a procreative principle that organized only one possible type of kinship. In their descriptions they situated gay families at the opposite end of a spectrum of determination, subject to no constraints beyond a logic of 'free' choice that ordered membership. To the extent that gay men and lesbians mapped 'biology' and 'choice' onto identities already opposed to one another (straight and gay, respectively), they polarized these two types of family along an axis of sexual identity."

-Kath Weston | Families We Choose: Lesbians, Gays, Kinship (1997)

See I think if I'd been born a guy I wouldn't be this pathologically avoidant trying to plan my career because there are plenty of situations you can find as a cis man where you just Do Tasks in awkward silence and you can get to those as a woman but you have to go through the rings of hell socializing first and then besides, a lot of those jobs already have so many men that you stand out when the whole point was you Don't want to do that

do you ever think about what a gargantuan and lasting influence a silly little series of no-budget tv morality plays from the 60s that was canceled after three seasons (and would have been canceled after just two and thus would never have been syndicated, if not for an impassioned letter-writing campaign by fans) had on real-life science/technology and get really emotional about it, or—
