time to take a secret thought and bury it forever
#i've been thinking a lot about elpenor (from the odyssey) for uh. reasons#and i can't quite find the right place to put this thought into words#because i don't want to spoil anyone's fun#but#i truly wish that the people i see making jokes about his death never go through the same thing my classmates did#where i remember them making those jokes freshman year of high school#only to lose a good friend senior year to a fraternity/underage drinking incident where the friend fell and hit his head#there is no funny way to die#only absurd ways. perhaps karmic ways if you were a terrible person#but for every Wacky News Story you hear about someone doing something stupid#for every Darwin award#someone else gets to sit alone at night thinking about how people would (or worse) already did make fun of a personal tragedy#anyway hopefully i'm done with these thoughts now
