Dialogue Prompts: “Over…”

1. “Is it over?”

“Yeah. And so are we.”

2. “This isn’t over.”

“It could’ve been, if not for you.”

3. “You overestimate me.”

“And yet you’ve never let me down before.”

"Do you trust me"

Well I'm too curious to say no so... “yeah, I trust you.”

catalyst

 in one ear and out the other we didn’t listen to each other we placed our hearts at a distance now you’re just left reminiscing us

but you never edged any closer now im stuck wishing there was closure and you don’t make apologies despite how fucking cruel you can be

i still wonder was it worth being alone then again at least you’ve got your phone

to call her up if your bed’s getting too cold she’s a placeholder for the one you cannot hold

go sink into the abyss that was your bed who knew the catalyst would be demons in your head guess i should’ve left you sooner instead of trusting someone with a heart that’s already dead

My phone clicks and he tells me everyone needs someone.

He tells me I'm going to be alright and he says, "You're nice, Nice people will gravitate towards you,"

I re-read the words, If that was true, I can't be a nice guy.

In my experience, people only leave, or, before they leave, they let you down.

I can't be that nice. people like me - maybe we're meant to be lonely. I don't quite understand the world.

Nobody disappoints me more than me.

I must sleep. Sleep is the mind-healer. Sleep is the big-life that brings total ability to fucking do anything. I will face my bed. I will permit the blankie to pass over me and snores to pass through me. And when sleep has gone past I will turn the outer eye to greet the new morning. When the sleep has gone there will be everything. Energy and will to live will remain.

As a reminder that good exists out there, a coworker recently confessed to me that he found out his child is questioning their identity (kid's gender redacted for this post). The kid is keeping it from him, so he can't say anything to them or show that he knows, but he's doing his best to get mentally prepared and educated so that he'll be ready whenever his kid does feel comfortable enough come to him.

For context, this guy is a big, bulky middle aged dude who loves sports and typical outdoor "manly" activities. As his coworker and friend, I know he's a kind and sweet teddy bear of a person, but his kid probably views him as a stern, authoritarian figure, the way most teenagers view their parents. His family lives in a conservative area, so I'm sure between that, their dad's looks and interests, and the fact that their dad is a Figure of Authority, the kid is worried that they won't be accepted.

But you know what? When he found out about his kid, the first thing he did was reach out to his closest queer friend and ask for resources for parents of questioning children. His biggest fears are that his kid will be bullied or discriminated against and won't feel comfortable enough to be themself. His second action was to find himself a mentor in another parent who went the same situation (kid coming out in a conservative town). The other person is preparing him for some of the struggles his kid may face and the fights he may need to take on as a parent to make sure his kid is safe and treated well.

Something I want to emphasize for people focused on language as the primary method of allyship is that when we spoke, he used some outdated terms and thoughts about gender and sexuality. That does not make him bad. These were the terms and thinking used about questioning teenagers when he was growing up and he never needed to learn more current ones. But now that he does have that need, he's throwing himself in head first because that's his kid and he's darn well going to make sure that his kid feels welcomed and has a safe place to be themselves even if they never come out to him.

Why is it so hard to be kind with ourselves?

If tumblr shuts down you can find me in living in a shotgun shack. If tumblr shuts down you can find me in another part of the world. If tumblr shuts down you can find me behind the wheel of a large automobile. If tumblr shuts down you can find me in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife. It tumblr shuts down I'll send myself an ask that says "how did I get here?"
