#when you're ready

[serenityquest]

[hersurvival]

I wait, wonder, worry.

Find myself in an inescapable void,

Crushed by the weight of you vanishing.

The worst possible outcome, always first to mind,

And I pray that you are safe and breathing.

Desperate curiosity drives me insane,

Grasping for answers,

For any semblence of insight.

I continue to wait, wonder, and worry.

Until you are ready to come back to me.

since it's pride month, we feel like it's time to make a list of all the comings-out we've done in our 60 years of fumbling through life so far:

15 - bi (very cautiously in 1978, go us!)

23 - trans (for three weeks, then oops back in that closet)

28 - gay (we thought for a while)

35 - bi ii electric boogaloo

45 - polyam

48 - trans woman (started physical transition)

48 - trans tomboy

48 - queer (finally embraced the term!)

48 - bigender (tried it on for two months, didn't fit)

49 - nonbinary

49 - agender (aka transgenderless)

49 - autistic

55 - asexual

55 - relationship anarchist (we don't understand all the political ramifications, but this best describes our relationship to relationship)

57 - multiple (diagnosed did at 59)

58 - adhd

60 - aromantic

we wonder what'll be next :) - anyway the point is you keep learning about yourself and new things emerge and your relationship with yourself changes, and well, coming out keeps on happening and that's okay, we're all constantly unfolding ☀️🌿

"If you're hurt by finding out that a person you admired did something bad or are worried about the idea they might, it shows you need to not form attachments to people you don't personally know."

I have bad news for you about how literally the entirety of human socialization and the human mind work. You can say "here's a stick from off the ground. his name is Stanley and he has a loving family" and then break the stick and people will feel hurt because they formed a positive connection to Stanley. Humans project attachment onto everything. Asking people not to feel connections to other humans is not feasible. It's not possible and, if it were, it sure as hell wouldn't be healthy.

You didn't do anything wrong if you feel hurt that someone you didn't personally know did something wrong. You're not parasitic or obsessive for wanting people you don't personally know to be good people. Being devastated that someone you liked did something horrible isn't a sign you liked them too much, it's a sign you have the basic human ability to form emotional and social connections. Your responsibility is being aware of those connections and behaving in ways that are healthy, respectful, and keep you and others safe.

Trying to just not admire people or not feel a connection to other humans won't work. Focus instead on being aware of what your relationships to other people are, what actions on your part are acceptable given that level of relationship, what actions are acceptable on their part, and what level of relationship it's realistic or healthy to project. And be ready, as with all things in life, to change your views on something or someone when presented with new information, even if you have very strong emotional connections to the subject. For example: "I'd love to get a cup of coffee with the celebrity I don't know and talk with them about a film they're in. I imagine that would be nice." <- normal human emotion "I will go to this celebrity I don't know and ask them, apropos of nothing, to get a coffee with me/I expect this celebrity I've never met WILL go to coffee with me" <- Unrealistic level of projected relationship. Crosses boundaries of normal human interactions between strangers.

"I'm devastated this actor I liked was an abuser" <- normal human emotion

"I won't believe that this actor was an abuser because I like him and therefore can tell he wouldn't do that" <- Unrealistic and unhealthy level of projected relationship. Unsafe for you and others.

You can't just "not admire" people, yes, even people you don't know personally. Instead, be careful to make sure your admiration of someone doesn't affect your ability to make judgements about them.

When You're Ready

It's Film Friday! When You're Ready - the final play in our Regency Theatre trilogy - premieres tonight via the link below. Filmed and edited by the brilliant Fernando Productions.

London, 2024. Claire Jameson is directing a revival of little-known musical 'Jolly Joyce', and rehearsals aren't going well.

The actors are mixing work and pleasure; the stage manager's not happy with the venue; and a surprise guest in the rehearsal room stirs up some unwelcome history.

Claire is known as a formidable director, but there are some scenes you can't command your way out of, and this particular production is fifty years in the making...
