💙 Talking to Strangers

G, 4k, nie mingjue & wei wuxian, nie mingjue & wen remnants
Summary: It's just a little curse... Well, actually, he's still big for his age.
Kay's comments: A delightful little story! I enjoyed reading this a lot. In the story, Nie Mingjue gets age-regressed via curse close to the Burial Mounds and of course, Wei Wuxian takes him in. Neither Nie Mingjue nor Wei Wuxian recognize each other this way, so Nie Mingjue gets an uncensored version of what living in the Burial Mounds is like and he meets and befriends our dearest A-Yuan. Of course, soon enough the Nie Sect turns up, searching for their missing leader…
Excerpt: The radish soup was lousy. A-Jue knew it would be rude to tell Xian-gege this. He could also hear the doctor-lady whispering to him about how they didn’t have enough. Xian-gege and Ning-gege didn't have bowls. People not having enough food was bad. A-Die said that righteous cultivators have to help the common people. A-Jue was going to be a righteous cultivator. Nobody could not have enough food on his watch. The taste problem and the enough problem could be solved with one thing.

Devil on my shoulder
I walk through the shopping center
And stop when an old man with white hair and
A white beard
Waves me down.
He’s telling me something but
I don’t really listen because all I can focus on is
At first,
His english accent.
I always loved English accents.
He’s talking and talking and
Part of me appreciates that he
Wants?
The talk to me.
Not a lot of people stop to talk to strangers anymore.
I learn he used to be a teacher.
A dean.
A principal.
He once fired a lady for losing a kid three times.
I laughed.
He wouldn’t mind when the kids kissed in the hallways,
And would have to argue with the teachers
About whether or not is was ok.
He said « it was best to keep em’ in school because if they went home 
They would just fuck all day. »
He pardoned his French.
I laughed.
He smoothly mentions he’s divorced.
I think to myself,
It’s because he talks too much.
I feel guilty for that thought because I actually
Appreciate him.
He eventually leaves and says it was nice to meet me.
Although he didn't learn anything about me.
I learnt more about that man in twenty minutes,
Than I knew about my own father.
I scratch at the tip of my nose as I watched him
Waddle off.
And I think to myself,
Now I’m late for my movie.

Every night while trying to fall asleep, I think about typing out my thoughts. Most nights I talk myself out of it, because really it’s for my own therapeutic purposes.. so laziness wins.
However, regardless of how tired I am. I knew I wanted this documented. Not only for myself, so I can look back and always remember this day. So that when I’m having a bad day… remember. And in those days that I NEED to be reminded, it’s readily available. I want to remember every moment.
In my extreme exhaustion, possibly insomnia/drug induced state of mind, I felt more feeling than I ever have. I felt happy. That deep into my core, sense of wholeness, every personal demon I had, silenced. I felt peace. I felt safe. I felt okay with being okay.
Actually I felt happy, being happy. I have never experience that. Like a cheesy impossible chick flick, heart warming movie ending. I felt love. I allowed myself to feel love. ACTUAL love.
I’m to tired to continue. But today Sept 8th/9th, is the start of the next chapter. I feel manic, but also the most at peace I’ve ever felt.

when you're out and about by yourself and a stranger starts talking to you and you have no desire to do this but your brain just starts whirring and you get anxiety sweaty and feel like you just slammed a redbull and you can't stop oversharing, and they're just encouraging it, and you finally make up an excuse to leave the conversation and you're so exhausted and wired from unexpected interaction that you feel like you might die
