One of my patient’s from last week was a 92 year old admitted for hip pain.

He was resting on the stretcher while waiting for a room when I pulled up a chair to talk with him for a bit. I asked a few questions pertaining to the admission process, but ended up just enjoying the conversation we shared.

He told me all about his wife of 73 years. And about how they met while he was working on the railroad. She worked at a candy shop he used to visit every day.

His eyes teared up as talked about her and about how he wanted to get home to be with her—that he loves her so much, and doesn’t want her to worry about him. It made me a little teary-eyed, too.

I touched the top of his hand as I stood up, and said “well, let’s give her a call. I’ll let her know you’re ok, and that you’re thinking of her.”

I saw the heaviness of his worries lift as soon as I handed him the phone with his wife on the other end of the line.

I sat at the nurses’ station while they talked, and watched their exchange for a moment. I couldn’t help but to think about all the things they must’ve experienced together.

And I thought about how special it is that after 73 years he still lights up at the sound of her voice.

Wanna know something I really hate, even as an actor?

Improv.

Don’t get me wrong, I love watching other people do improv, but I just don’t enjoy participating in it. My problem is that I just don’t think fast enough for improv, or maybe I don’t have the self confidence to insert myself into random situations.

I mean, I struggle with normal conversations, how do they expect me to thrive in imaginary ones?

I can’t even manage in games like Freeze, where you have the option to enter a scene whenever you please. My brain just, doesn’t comprehend what’s going on in front of me fast enough for me to come up with any way to fit myself in.

Granted, maybe I’ve just never had a good improv experience,

But does hating it make me a bad actor?

I think I’d just rather stick to script, and honestly I’m not a fan of Ad-libbing either.

I don’t know. Improv makes me anxious, and I’d sometimes rather hide in the bathroom during speech and drama than attempt to play the improv game.

Yours truly,

Little stupid child

I was scrolling through my old school google documents today., and i came past this one document, and it only said untitled, and it confused me because i mostly put short responses for the doc titles.. so when i opened it, it said in a big sized font,

"I wish you could see that i'm not always what i say i am, and if i could rewind time i'd take back what's mine and lay back"

It was from early 2022, so i had forgotten it.. but maybe it had a secret meaning, but i'll never know because of something that had happened to me as a child.

Look, a few minutes ago you said you didn't want to just wait here to be captured. Now all you want to do is stay? Marching into the detention area is not what I had in mind.

I love how extreme found family is in one piece. Like they took supernatural line of "Family don't end in blood" and actually made good on it. Because it's not just that the crew found each other even before that only really very briefly Robin, Usopp and Luffy could say that anyone biologically related to them raised them.

Like Luffy had Garp and that's his grandpa but he also had Makino and Shanks and the red hair pirates and they were a family unit and he also had Ace, Sabo Dandan and the bandits and they were a family as well and it's never who mattered more to Luffy or who actually raised him cause they all did. It'd be hard to put him in a nuclear family structure because so many people fill the same roles in his life in different ways and that's great like Kung Fu panda said "that doesn't mean less for one parent it just means more for Luffy"

And that's the thing I think sometime fandom can get very obsessive with trying to pin down who is whose surrogate father/mother how do they fit in the nuclear family structure and while that's fun and there's nothing wrong with head cannon characters that way I also think it's important to remember that not every relationship needs a title or definition sometimes you are just family and that's valid too.

Ace had Luffy and Garp but he also had the whitebeard pirates and his pops same with Sabo and the revolutionaries

Zoro with Kuina and his old kendo master, that was maybe more of a rivals, mentor mentee relationship than whatever Mihawk Zoro and Perona had going on but it's all family none the less.

Chopper with Hiririluk and Kureha. Perona and Moria, Usopp with the little village boys and Kaya. Shanks and Buggy with the Roger Pirates. They might not all have had defined roles with each other but it was still family.

Just like Sanji, Nami, Franky and Law and their more defined Surrogate familes

And people like Vivi Robin Usopp and Shirahoshi who had/have their biological parents/family that love them and raised them.

It's nobody that I've just mentioned properly fitting squarely into any of these categories because it's all complicated family is complicated and its messy and it's big and everyone in your family might not have even met but it's family and it doesn't end in blood and for some people it never started there either.
