modern au viserys x aemma were ‘highschool sweethearts’ (viserys was a senior dating a freshman :/ (for non americans thats a 17-18 yo dating a 14-15 yo)) they got engaged aemmas senior year and married shortly after she graduated.

he took her to his prom and she took him to hers. viserys was old enough at that point to buy alcohol for aemma and all her friends and they got WAY too drunk and were kicked out. a teacher chaperone threatens to call the cops on viserys.

Got my first experience with makeup a year ago thanks to my spouses help. No foundation or contouring or whatever, just some uh ... not sure what it's called ... the stuff that goes on eyelashes and the stuff you put on your eyelids. I have a picture of it, I'll never share it, I can do better, but ... it let me put into perspective a lot about my appearance. I'd do it again except what we used was the last of it because this stuff was like a decade or more old and was mostly dried out.

However, a few weeks ago, I had to crawl under my spouses vehicle to take a look at the break pads because there's a really annoying vibrating noise and I was 90% sure it was the pads. I was half correct, one breakpad is loose, but the mount for it is eroded and it'd cost like $800 to replace. Plus breaks are a little soft, and the pads do need replacing but I don't have the money for that either. The other issue is the differential, ie. the part that turns your engines rotationary movement from the pistons to your wheels. Yeah, something in that is rattling around and gets pissy once you hit 60 kmph until you hit 70. Which this isn't great, because both are problems that need fixing but I don't have the $1000+ or so to drop into repairs. Decided to check the oil levels, that also needs a change but I don't have money for wrenches so thats more money I don't have to get that fixed. Got oil on me, covered in dirt, wiped a bit of the oil and grease on my face by accident and went inside.

And folks, for a solid moment in the mirror, I saw her again. Me. Grease covered and dirty. It's had me smiling for a while now. I miss my old coveralls and a wrench in my hand. I miss working on my dads XS 500, cleaning piston rings, doing oil changes ... I hated it all back then. But thats because it was tainted by me trying to be a boy and hating it.

When I look at the photo of my first makeup experience, and I remember that joy, and then me poking around my spouses vehicle and that joy ... it's reminded me that what was old is new again. There's a lot I haven't done: full make-over, wear a dress, ride a motorcycle, etc. and a lot I didn't do as myself: engine repair, woodworking, carpentry, etc. A lot of experiences I have that I need to redo as the first time as myself. The first time with friends even. To go back and actually take joy in it because I'm no longer trying to put on a face.

It's made me realize how much I haven't lived up until now.

"I have no hands! I have! No! Hands! Because your people stole my body." "I didn't-" "They used you, yes. But they used me worse. They used me more. They took my body. They moved me where I could be useful to them. And they stole my mind. My labor. My actual skin and bones! They took everything from me. And mere moments ago. Mere! Moments! Ago! You were ashamed of what your people did to me." "Yeah. Yes." "And now there's a mechanical problem. There's a problem I can fix. I can fix it easily. There's a breakpad, it's 3 meters long, 18 centimeters wide, and 1 meter tall, and it weighs nothing. It weighs nothing, but I can't replace it because my body was stolen from me! I need you to replace it because while they stole from you and used you and you might think that's a shame and a crime, you have been allowed to exist unmolested by the powers that be." -Ask Your Father Episode 6

There is a flexible line between love and hate. To be far, hate is probably too strong of a word. Perhaps something more tangible might be grasped in the words "peace" and "discomfort".

There is comfort in peace and in love there is a sense of peace. Sure there may be unsteady moments but the peace in love makes us feel safe and hopeful. Here I go, getting off track.

There was a movie a few years back that came out. It was Wreck-It Ralph 2, I "hated" it. In that, I mean it made me really uncomfortable. It brought up things I had been holding down beneath the surface.

The first movie was fantastic. I had watched it several years after it came out and it was at a time when I had been feeling a bit lonely but was learning how to make and maintain friendships. This movie made me hopeful about my journey to friendship and successful relationships in general. We all know it's a bit difficult to find friends meaningful relationships outside of school or work. You know, the deep ones, where you can be vulnerable and share a part of yourself that you had been hiding away.

In that first movie, two people that were disconnected from the people around them, came together. They were there for each other and to be honest, I felt a lot like Ralph at the time. Never before had I felt such a connection to an animated character. I felt my sister was a lot like Vanellope. She was always someone that tried her best to be there for me but she was also someone that enjoyed exploring the world around her. She seemed to embrace new things and experiences.

Then when the second movie came out, I was excited to see their new adventure. I wanted to see them support each other but I wasn't expecting to take it so hard. The movie felt bitter. Spoiler, Vanellope chooses to go her own way. She found something she loved and though Ralph got to be a part of that season of her life and though they still love each other, she needed to forge her own path, make new connections and try to shoot for her dreams.

I however was locked in my own perspective. I understood, deeply, why Ralph was trying to hold on so tight and keep her with him. He went from nobody, to such a supportive and understanding friend, and in a moment, it was being ripped away. No, worse. She was driving away, willingly.

It took a little bit to understand that this movie was clearly touching on a sore part of a deeper issue within. One where as a result of that issue, I was placing too much of my identity in my relationships and their success.

I love my sister/best friend, I know she will be there for me, but I needed to be happy for her. I needed to stop focusing on myself for a moment and focus on what's best for her.

We are all growing as people. Growth and change are a constant force in our lives and often we dig our heels in the floor and try to stay were it's safe and comfortable, even if it is not serving us well. And eventually our breakpads wear down.

You see, I'm still working through it, but I know that I have to release the control I wanted in my relationship. I needed to release both of us from any unhealthy bonds or habits we developed. I needed to be a good friend and support her curiousity.

But also, I needed to spark my own. I really do enjoy just being around those I care about. I don't need to be doing everything that I like and it can be totally mind-meltingly boring at time, just watching them do simple chores. But I enjoy the company of those I love especially when they get to do something they enjoy.

Over time I talked with myself more and I talked with other important people in my life. This helped/helps me discovered more about me and what I liked. I tried new things and it helped me understand a few things bout myself and baggage I had been keeping in my trunk that was weighing me down and preventing me from moving forward.

However, I sometimes forgot and still do forget from time to time to talk to myself inwardly about what I want and who I want to be. For a long time, I felt passionless, a car without a tire and I didn't even know what I liked in life. I stunted myself.

Now, I'm getting out more, learning what I like and dislike, how to treat people, learning how I want to be treated. I'm learning what it means to me a good friend and a good sister. I'm learning how to support others and how to encourage their growth and hopefully helping them to embrace change.

Change is scary sometimes, but it can be so rewarding in the way we least expect it to.

Ovid, a roman Poet once wrote "Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish."

There are going to be bumps on the road. Some of our travel companions will have to drive off on their own road for a bit, we may even connect again as we head in a similar direction, but never be afraid to take control of your own steering wheel and drive in paths you have yet to see. Who knows, you might find something even better or you might recover under a new perspective, what your relationships mean to you and how to continue nurturing them.

Shout out to my sister: I love our friendship and will always make time for you, but I want you to be less stressed and I want for you to enjoy the world again. Don't be afraid to take more shots, even if it means we can't always be physically as close by. I wish for you, that you rediscover your love for life, exploration of new things and putting yourself out there. You have an exciting road ahead of you and I will cheer you along the whole way.
