"In my absence, I will always love you.
Even when I'm not there to hold you in my arms, I wish I could.
Even though I'm gone, I will always be there for you.
And I have always missed you, no matter what.
In your absence, I will always miss you.
Even when you're not there to be held in my arms, I wish you were.
Even though you're gone, you will always be with me.
And I will always love you, no matter what."

mom's really be something else

now i just said they were giving away a pit bull puppy and she be like "you can take it if you want" and i asked "well what about my dog?? i already told you id bring her to live with me this year" and she be like "oh i dont mind it if you dont take her"
i guess she finally realized that i was right and my dog eventually grew up and became calmer

listen there really was just something about how in the book, snow’s 3-page descent from hesitant lover boy to deluded psychopath happens entirely in his mind. lucy gray gives him no indication whatsoever that she suspects him, that she’s going to leave or betray him. he’s just sitting quietly in the cabin waiting for her to return when that seed of calculated suspicion, which he has needed to survive the capitol, takes a hold of him and chokes the life out of any goodness left inside him. it really drives home your terror as a reader that “oh my god did he kill her? did she escape? what happened to her? why would he even think that?” in a way that when the movie had to adjust for visualization it lost some of that holy shit this guy has lost it emphasis.

I got a card from my grandma today. That’s a normal thing for her, she sends me handwritten cards. Today’s had some pictures of my nephew, sometimes it’s pictures of my baby cousins. She always, always tells me she loves me and that she’s proud.
The thing is, this grandmother is the only person in my life who never undercut those words. She uses them when I make a choice she disagrees with, she uses them when I put on weight instead of losing it, she uses them when she sees me and when I can’t visit for a while. She used to be one of the only people who could get me out of the house during an episode. This grandmother is the only person I have actually felt unconditional love from.
She also really, really wanted to be a teacher. It was never in the cards, my dad was born when she was 18, but she’s also never been quiet about having had that dream.
This week I reached out to a couple of schools about alternative educator licensure. I went to art school, so I wasn’t sure how feasible it would be, but I actually think I can put this application together pretty easily. For the first time in a very long time, I feel like there might be a point to me being around.
And so serendipitously, I got a card from my grandma. I could feel that she loves me from several states away. I remembered that I carry her with me everywhere. I think I want to finish what she started. I’m gonna try this for both of us.
