Existing. Living. Continuing on. We have to make it through this dark time, then pick up the pieces and rebuild better. Rebuild kinder. Rebuild for the sake of others, and for the sake of those that we are destined never to meet.
Wherever you are, keep fighting another day. I believe in you.

I miss my old students, Tails. I miss them a lot.
I hope they're doing alright out there, even if they don't remember me.

Something very interesting to keep in mind, even if the video host can be a bit hyperbolic in his expression at times.

It's strange holding space in your heart for someone who knew you all your life alongside someone you met for no more than an hour, on a random day, 10 years ago, through sheer circumstance.

And I'll never forget that he paid me such a kind compliment when I least expected it. And that despite the news, he and the doctor found a way to make us all laugh through the tears at his last requests. It's been 10 years. He would've been grown up by now. I wonder often how his family is doing.

I find myself thinking of another loss, someone I only met once. A kind boy, B., who passed from cancer. I was there to deliver the news to his parents in their language. And this boy had so much life in his gorgeous eyes, even though his body was destroyed by the cancer treatments.

Her house is gone. Her birthday phone calls gone longer. And I'll never again be able to listen to the stories of her life and spend that time with her.
But we were there, together with her when she passed. She probably hated it and appreciated it simultaneously. She never wanted to be a bother.

It's been a year and three days since my grandmother passed. I'm still not used to the idea that she's gone and that I'll never hear her greet me again in her distinctive style, beaming from ear to ear no matter how far her dementia had progressed.

Personal life:
Had one of my usual weird dreams last night:
John Oliver had a live show of LWT at the neighborhood park by my parents house on a massive stage with fireworks, and he inexplicably sang the words to an old Thrice song, to which I yelled out at him "you did great!" And he waved back π€£

Two things I have to keep reminding myself:
1. Have faith that we'll push through.
2. Keep fighting and providing what I can.

I went to my Congressman's local office today. First off, they were surprised that I was there. They said they had been getting phone calls, but I was the first walk-in. That said, the phones were not ringing off the hook. If the DC phone lines are busy, try calling the local office.

Somehow this thought calmed me just now:
At the end of my life, I may not be famous or even known, but the dust of the earth will always remember me.

Okay. Just SPECIFICALLY the album Artist in the Ambulance. If you haven't heard the whole thing, I'd recommend that and taking particular interest in the lyrics.

Thrice's early albums never cease to feel apt.
"They preach to the choir Always in the permanent daylight
They toss paper tigers from their perfect Porcelain skylines"...
They light the world on fire just to watch it burn It'll be their funeral pyre But they never seem to learn"- Paper Tigers

Keep creating. Keep existing. Keep exuding the humanity you possess into the world. Never forget those things that make you human, and uniquely you. Even if all we can manage is to survive and exist, it is enough.
And always remember to look up: you never know what you might miss...

But alas. That dream requires monetary investment upfront and consistent regulars, as well as paid things to keep doors open for the free things to be offered.
I just wish there was a calm night-life option here as a third space.

After reading several reddit posts, articles and analyses on why third spaces are disappearing, my brain decided the best solution was to open up an overnight coffee bar/lounge w/ spaces for people to vibe, meet & have activities to interact. It would be a dream to then open other locations...

In a place like the metro where I live, it is nigh impossible to easily get to a third space in time after a 9-5, that doesn't close by 10 (if you're lucky). And evening shift people have it even worse because nothing is open when they're free.
