My friend and i had this fun idea one time so there it is

[sandpapersnowman]

I had been worried that cutting my dad off and distancing myself from him would put me in a difficult position with his side of the family but I've actually reconnected with a couple family members over how shitty he's been and it turns out I'm not the first one to stop talking to him, he's been blocked by like two of my aunts And my cousin

hehe, really fuckin sad to see what a strong grip depression has on your dad and that he’s pretty much gone his whole adult life with no friends or hobbies :’) that’s definitely not sad at all.

This is such a blessing of you to share my story. I'm so sorry and embarrassed to ask you to donate as well

There is nothing to be ashamed of here. You're doing what you have to, to survive and to me it's truly commendable that even in a situation as grim as this, you're still fighting!

That being said, I'm really sorry. I can't fulfill that request right now. I am unfortunately not in a financial situation where I can donate.

HOWEVER I am currently looking for a job, so once I have disposable income I'll make sure to donate !!

guy who literally cant stop thinking about lubelle seeing cecil as a washed up deadbeat who dragged carlos down when he was vulnerable then baby trapped him, and lubelle and her team pitying carlos and wanting to help him because they miss the man he used to be, but carlos keeps avoiding them pushing them away dragging cecil and his team away from fights, looking at them with sad and tired eyes and asking them to just leave him alone

The Healing Power of Art Therapy for Trauma

Art therapy for trauma uses creative activities like drawing, painting, and sculpting to help individuals express and process their traumatic experiences. This therapeutic approach allows people to explore difficult emotions and memories in a safe and non-verbal way. By engaging in art-making, individuals can gain insights into their trauma, reduce stress, and foster healing. Art therapy provides a supportive space for people to work through their pain and build resilience, ultimately promoting mental and emotional recovery.

Death becomes too blinded by his "I can fix him" attitude when it comes to Novo(caine) and begins to put the blame on U.V. when it comes to Novo's behavior and outbursts without realizing it as a way to "protect" U.V.. (things like "well if you hadn't talked to him he wouldn't have hit you" or "you just need to stay away from your father for now/during xyz time of day")

Where CANON and FANON collide!

FANON Future Buddie Fanfic Series

Part 10 is now available on AO3: “First Marriage Proposal" - Eddie and Buck's first marriage proposal.

First Marriage Proposal

16.3K Words; Rated: Mature

___________

Here's a snippet from one of Buck and Eddie's conversations.

___________

Buck’s eyes light up at the sight of Eddie and his smile widens as the first song on his playlist, “Love of My Life” by Brian McKnight is at the point in the song where Brian sings the chorus, “You’re more than wonderful.  More than amazing.  The irreplaceable love of my life.  You’re so incredible, here in these arms of mine.  The irreplaceable love of my life” and he thinks this is perfect.

Eddie’s stuck in place because he’s not sure what’s happening but he can tell it’s something big.

Buck walks over to him, takes his hand in his, laces their fingers together and says, “This is all for you Eddie.”  He closes the door, then he removes Eddie’s bag from his shoulder and says, “Come over here with me so we can talk.”

He walks them over to the middle of the living room and after they stop, he gets down on one knee and he hears Eddie gasp after he does.

At that very moment, Brian sings the lyric, “Baby you know, you know you’re my one and only.  All I want to do is be together” and Buck meets Eddie’s eyes and says, “It’s true, all I want is to be with you”.

He picks up the remote and lowers the volume on the speaker, then continues.  

“Eddie… you work so hard.  You take care of me and Chris all the time because you’re a caregiver by nature but you deserve someone to take care of you too.”

What is Buck going to say next?

So I'm getting married. That's pretty cool.

I told myself that being 28 was gonna be the coolest thing in the world. I had this idea growing up that once someone hit 28, they were in that sweet spot of youth and wisdom. Now that I am, I'd say it's a cool life but I don't feel wise lmao.

Anyway, getting married is something I genuinely never thought would happen to me. I met a man, a great man, and he loves me enough to want to marry me. He sees me and gets frustrated with me sometimes, but he loves me anyway.

I struggle to communicate after a lifetime of being conditioned to keep all of my thoughts and feelings inside. I got to a point where I could have something happen to me, I could ball those feelings up like a paper wad and toss them away, never to be seen again.

Only that's not what happens. It gets put away, crumpled, and messy until someone comes along that you can't hide from. They shine a light into that void inside your soul and force you to sort the mess inside you. They will love you while you cry, kiss away your fears, and give you the reassurance that just because you're human and you deserve it. It's going to make your inner child cry, and your inner teenager rage out like nothing you've ever experienced before. It's a journey.

I'm marrying that person. That man. I don't know what I did to deserve him, but my god I'm so thankful for him. I don't communicate well, but I am trying so hard for him.
