#grief is grief

[streetsweepershenanigans]

"Why are you sad about someone you never met?" Because it feels like a peice of me died with him. People forget, representation in media isn't just about physical appearances. It's about lived experiences too. Yeah, so maybe my dad isn't a drag queen and my mom isn't a romance novel author, but I also had parents that made every holiday miserable. Every outing with family became tense and unenjoyable. Thanksgivings were spent alone in my room because that's where I preferred to be. Christmas was spent ignoring one of the most major seasons in the year, because it only reminded me of misery and fighting and yelling. I too developed a dry, sarcastic sense of humor from my childhood. Seeing someone that went through similar things on TV when I was younger helped me to think, "Hey, if they could go through that and still be a good friend, a hard worker, a dedicated and loyal person, and a genuinely kind, funny person, so can I."

So I guess what I'm saying is: thank you Mathew Perry for your character Chandler Bing, for being both a representation of what I went through, and a ideal of what I could become. Rest easy.

Thinking about... Grieving the undead.

#i speak #this sounds like a vampire or zombie post but it isn't #grief #technically 'grieving the not dead' would be more accurate but i like the sound of undead better

been thinking a lot about anticipatory grief lately. i love you so much that i know losing you will devastate me. i haven't lost you yet but i already miss you. we still have time, but it won't be enough. i think about what i would say at your funeral, and say some of it to you now cause i need you to know how loved you are before you go. you will go where i cannot follow, but you will never really leave me. it won't make it hurt less but it is a part of healing somehow.

grief is so crazy like what if i forget what her laugh sounds like. does she know i loved her. i miss her so much. i catch myself doing things she used to do. i wish i could call her. i miss her so much. i do a crossword puzzle. i cry while washing the dishes. does she know i loved her? my heart feels like a hummingbird. i miss her so much. what if i forget what her laugh sounds like. what if i forget.

When I was in middle school, I tried to learn how to crochet. I knew how to knit already, so I figured ‘how hard could it be’ and used my Christmas money on a brand new set of aluminum hooks and a how-to book.

To say it was difficult was an understatement. I spent hours pouring over my book, begging to gain some inkling of understanding from what felt like incomprehensible runes. My reward? One lopsided trapezoid of lumpy fabric and a resolve to never pick up a crochet hook again.

And so life went on, I finished middle school and high school without giving crochet so much as a second glance. In college, I read about how crochet couldn’t be replicated by a machine, it was unique in a way that knitting and many other fiber arts weren’t.

For Christmas last year, my girlfriend gave me what I now consider to be my most prized possession: a crocheted plush of my favorite pokemon. I raved over her skills and, since she never learned how to knit, we decided to have a yarn date at some point and teach each other our respective skills.

We never did get around to that yarn date. She passed a few months after our declaration, leaving me to inherit what was left of her yarn.

Nearly a decade after my initial attempt, I got ready for the toughest battle of my life. My weapons? One skein of yarn, a YouTube video, and a crochet hook that I had somehow never gotten rid of.

I slowly made my way through the video, redoing my work a couple times until I was satisfied with my product: a small, slightly misshapen rectangle.

I looked at my pristinely-made pokemon plush with hope for the first time in months and thought to myself, ‘maybe crocheting isn’t the hardest thing in the world, maybe you were just 12.’

Maybe this isn’t the hardest thing in the world. Maybe I’m just 21.
